The Word per John 1:1 is translated from the Greek word logos (log'-os)
Unfortunately logos is ambiguous, i.e. it has neither one specific meaning
nor one specific application.
It's common application throughout the New Testament pertains to
communication by means of either vocalized words, written words, or the
dialogue/monologue one hears inside their head during cognitive processes
like soliloquy, locution, logic, reasoning, making choices and decisions,
and/or solving problems, etc.
FAQ: Where's an example of logos?
REPLY: To my knowledge: God's earliest known communication relative to
John 1:1 would be Gen 1:3 wherein is recorded:
"And God said, Let there be light"
In that particular incident, logos was a vocalization, i.e. speech.
NOTE: John's first chapter goes on to say that God's logos came into the
world with human characteristics. (John 1:14) Well; it's difficult enough
trying to explain how the supreme being Himself came into the world as a
man; but even worse trying to explain how His logos did it; especially when
His logos' humanity began with Adam and the very dust with which Adam
was created.
