Thanks for your patience:

I am unsure what you mean by "identical".

The technical use - exactly the same, indistinguishable, interchangeable.

I think a perfectly proper use of "word" is the scriptures that God gave us.

Remember, Kolo's comment and reference that's the basis of the question ..

Some people think that the Word spoken of here means the literal words of God. Its John 1:1, FK.

"Word" in John 1:1...

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;"

Clearer now?

It's a greek thing. :)

Yes, so I clearly distinguished between "word" and "Word". In John 1:1, "Word" is Christ. In other passages, "word" is scriptures. Is that what you meant? I truly am sorry if I'm being dense. :)
