In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. -John 1:1

My understanding is the "Word" = Christ

Exactly. I’m not sure what this author is trying to prove about a difference between Scripture “being the Word” and “containing the Word” but it is clear that the Logos (Word) preexists even the wrold, and was made flesh via the Son.

Perform a word study.

There are reasons why these particular words are used and not others.

There also are reasons why our Lord Christ Jesus is also identified with other names.
