NOTHING preceded God'S Word - IT Always WAS and Always WIlL BE. "I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,: says The Lord..."

You confuse the Second Person of the Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Eternal Word, with the Holy Scripture. Christ is the Word of God, -- that is, like words that you speak, something unmade by you yet sent by you as good as you to reach us. That, roughly, is how Christ is at time described as The Word, starting with St. John's preamble.

The Holy Scripture is a set of books and letters written by various prophets, Holy Apostles and other clergy at historical times for a historical purpose in historical contexts that existed. The words they wrote are inspired by God and inerrant, but they exist in history. The phrase, to pick one example, "The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments" (2 Timothy 4:13) did not pre-exist neither the cloak or the parchments in question, let alone the entirety of Creation.

I confuse nothing. JESUS is THE WORD.

God's Word is Jesus, The Living Word.

And The WORD was made FLESH and dwelt among us.


He Himself IS the Word of God. All the words from His lips were the Word of God.

John 3:31
"The One who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.

John 3:34
For the One whom God has sent speaks the Words of God, for God gives Him the Spirit without limit."

Again....

And The WORD was made FLESH and dwelt among us.
