"More gymnastics, BD."

Not really Kosta. John 1:14, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." 1 Cor. 15:50, "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." Acts 2:26-27, "Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."

Jesus had a fully corruptible body (flesh), therefore it could not be holy while on earth. It was only because of the power of the Father at death that it escaped corruption.

Yes and +John (1:2w) says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning." John is not calling the Word to be the Father, nor is causing any confusion by calling Word God, nor when he says the Word was with God. Nor is gthere confusion that Christ was born of Virign Mary and was and is and will be God.
