Only those who have tried to study the bible, would realiise that jesus is gods word that became flesh, do you agree with this?
In John 1:1,14, he said, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . .and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. . ." Obviously, from the context, John is not simply saying that you must believe that Jesus lived, you must believe that He is the Word made flesh. And since he already said that the Word was God, Jesus, therefore, is God in flesh. What about this do you belive this is true?

Yes, Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. What's the problem. The sentences are very clear. The gospel of John has the highest Christology.
Peace and every blessing!

It seems like it goes back a step. First it says there was the Word and it was with God and the Word was God, then it says the Word became flesh, not that God became flesh
I don't know everything about the Bible, but after analyzing that, I would say no I don't believe Jesus was God in the flesh, but God's Word in flesh. Or is that just how I'm interpreting it?

The most important reason that Jesus has to be God is that if He is not God, His death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2). Only God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21), die, and be resurrected - proving His victory over sin and death.

Compare with Philippians 2:5-11, and you will see that it is saying the Jesus was God (Jehovah if you prefer) and that he took on flesh and blood when he entered the world in human form.

I consider myself a Christian because I believe in the teachings of Jesus. But I've been reading and studying the history of all religions for many years, especially the history of Christianity. Before you give your life for what you just said, read about the beginings of the "Roman Church" and all the twistings and legens they created to manipulate people.

IT says The Word was with God and the Word was god.God stand for Jehovah his father and god stand for Jesus...John 3;16-"God so love the world and He sent his begotten son to save the mankind" John 17:3-this means everlasting life,their taking a knowledge of you,the only true God and the one who you sent forth Jesus.it is clear there is one true God who created all. creation(Jehovah)and Jesus the first creation of God and Who was with Him in creating things.we have to know both of them to have everlasting life.

In the ocean of God consciousness, rise once in 2000 years, an appropriate form to suit the task it undertakes. Thus Jesus is one Such Great. Previously also we had such great Souls like Rama or Krishna or Sai.
