What does John I:I mean to you?

Answer 1

That Jesus is God, and the word that was spoken and brought all creation into being is Jesus. And that Word became flesh and lived here on earth in human form.

Answer 2

It means that Jesus was with God and is God just like He said in a few other passages.

John 10:30 I and the Father are one."

John 14:1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.

John 14:8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Answer 3

By starting out his gospel stating, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” John is introducing Jesus with a word or a term that both his Jewish and Gentile readers would have been familiar with. The Greek word translated “Word” in this passage is Logos, and it was common in both Greek philosophy and Jewish thought of that day. For example, in the Old Testament the “word” of God is often personified as an instrument for the execution of God’s will (Psalm 33:6; 107:20; 119:89; 147:15-18). So, for his Jewish readers, by introducing Jesus as the “Word,” John is in a sense pointing them back to the Old Testament where the Logos or “Word” of God is associated with the personification of God’s revelation. And in Greek philosophy, the term Logos was used to describe the intermediate agency by which God created material things and communicated with them. In the Greek worldview, the Logos was thought of as a bridge between the transcendent God and the material universe. Therefore, for his Greek readers the use of the term Logos would have likely brought forth the idea of a mediating principle between God and the world.

Answer 4

Yahweh Elohim = LORD God. The LORD God is the Father, Word & Holy Spirit. The Word of God is the Deity of Jesus. Jesus is 100% the Word of God. But the Word of God put on humanity & became one of us. Jesus is 100% the Son of Man (Seed of the Woman) also.

So Jesus is the Word of God and the only begotten Son of the Living God. Also the Son of the man.

Answer 5

In the begaining (time) was the Word (Jesus) and the Word (Jesus) was with God (The Father) and the Word was God (Given the authority and direction by the Father to act as such)

Answer 6

Logos, translated word, could also mean school (of thought), philosophy, truth, higher knowledge.

Another translation of the entire verse could be:

In the beginning, the truth existed. And God encompassed the truth. God and truth cannot exist without each other.

Answer 7

Read it and believe it.

It says just what it means and means what it says.

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The word, "Word", refers to Jesus.

Which you would know if you read all the way down to at least verse 14.
