"Gen. says the Word is God."

It was the Gospel of John, not Genesis, that said; "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.". The actual word used was Logos, which in a Greek philosophical context means the rational principle that governs and develops the universe. In a theological context it means the divine word or reason incarnate in Jesus.

Peace be with you

Actually, I was pretty sure it was also in Gen. But I could be wrong.

I would wish you a happy 4th, but I think there were enough fire works here today as is. LOL
I love a good religion debate, but some people take it to personally and get into personal attacks instead of discussion. Like name calling is going to change anyone’s mind.

Reminds me of the joke about Ireland.

During the time of the IRA, it was safer to be a Jew or Muslim, than a Protestant or Catholic. They were too busy killing each other over minor differences to worry about the Jews or other religions.
