A Question for Jehovah's Witnesses

[Wrangler]

You give new meaning to the understanding of Joe Biden.... Simply Amazing.

So when it sayd the Word (cap W) was with God and the Word (cap W) was God... you say hewas with Himself....

Well, shucks... no wonder God had to create man with all his flaws.... he just must have been lonely for another like Him.... having made flawed man in His image....

Not sure what that was all about. However, Christiandom has abused capital words for a long time of common words. You attach significance to translators choice of capitalization abuse.

I was taught He/Him was to be capitalized when referring to the Creator. Later additons corrected this error as pronouns are not proper nouns and ought not be capitalized.

I disagree.

Of course you do.

I would think the meaning of "Logos" to a first century Greek writer is more important than the meaning of "Word" today in English.

It is but that is not your point at all. Your point is to introduce a segue AWAY from what a first century Greek writer meant by Logos as affirmed by his purpose statement in 20:31.

If the writers thought in any way that God had literally became incarnate, they would say so. They would not write so that all such "evidence" requires extreme Eisegesis.

How so? I don't see his purpose shedding much light on what he meany by Logos in his Prologue. And I sure don't want to segue away from the Prologue's meaning!

Lots of Trinitarians read the Prologue as absolutely dispositive and conclusive proof of Trinitarianism (or at least Binitarianism). Well, here is one Trinitarian who disagrees. Please, PLEASE don't lump me in with them! I think they make a fair argument, but it is far from conclusive. (See my Post #1,076.) I find that I cannot be so dogmatic on what John meant. Hence my search for the contextual nuances.
