Online Etymology Dictionary
"second person of the Christian Trinity," from Gk. logos "word, speech, discourse," also "reason," from PIE base *leg- "to collect" (with derivatives meaning "to speak," on notion of "to pick out words"); used by Neo-Platonists in various metaphysical and theological senses and picked up by N.T. writers.
Greek philosophers were great in many ways, but their understanding of the true nature of God was off the mark. Unfortunately, it corrupted the early christian understanding of the nature of God as well.
Ok, so the Greek philosophers corrupted John's thought too? Does that mean his Gospel is not inspired? Also, you really believe that Christ's Church was in error for 1800 years until Joe Smith found the plates? Despite Jesus's promise that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail?
Soooo, the Apostle John was a neo-platonist? The first century church (you know, the one you claim wasn't corrupted) was neo-platonist? That is quite humorous as well as simply wrong.
