True, and Logos has much more to do with Greek than it does with Hebrew.
Notably in John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Logos was a Greek concept to understand the creative intelligence behind the cosmos.
In Hebrew, you could make the argument that it relates to God's creation when He SPOKE the universe into existance. This would make Jesus the agent of God's creative action, which other verses in the New Testament also claim.
Excellent question!

True,
John 1 1 The word logos is used for God.
In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.
Jesus is preached in both the old and new testament. The new is the fulfillment of the old.
The Greatest Love Song
Do You Know Jesus
By Mike McCracken
(chorus)
Do you know Jesus?
And how He loves us
How He died just to save us
Just because, He loves us
Judas betrayed Him
Who once was His friend
They beat, flogged and scourged Him
To where He didn’t look human
A crown of thorns on His head
Just another place where He bled
Humiliated in every way
Why, they even tore His clothes away
And there wasn’t any time loss
To where, they made Him carry the cross
To drive nails through His hands
He’s more than just a man
And Jesus still loved them
After all they did to Him
He did this for us too
When He said, “Father forgive them,
for they know not what they do.”
Jesus said that there is no greater love that a man can give than that he lay down his life for another. Jesus did this for all those who believe. I wrote this out of the Bible so everyone will know how great God’s love is.

It roughly explains the progress of the Christian theology in reference to the Trinity.
Hope this helps!
And TRUE, the Greeks had LOGOS long before the Christians had reference to Jesus being "the Word", or "to Say" in Greek, which is a verb. That verb Logos was the action in creation. That is the origin of the term 'logic', which is in philosophy, which came from the Greeks (Philo='lover of', and Sophy is reference to 'sofia' or 'wisdom'). Wisdom is something the Jews knew of for a while, since they spoke of 'wisdom' in the Old Testament as a person in their poetry.
Hope this helps!

"functionality" may be perhaps a greater proper be conscious than "call." And an ARCH-angel is better to an angel. The Bible describes Michael the Archangel as doing issues that Jesus will additionally do, or appearing in a functionality that Jesus additionally acts in. One logical end is they are an identical. while Jehovah created Jesus, Jesus became a different advent talked approximately as The be conscious (trademarks). while Jesus could have assumed the functionality of Michael the Archangel, the Bible does not say. particularly through fact, through fact the Watchtower article notes, "there is not any fact contained in the Bible that categorically identifies Michael the archangel as Jesus," that is particularly not a understand that we spend a brilliant style of time with. For Jehovah's Witnesses, Jesus is the unique, in basic terms-begotten, divine Son of God, who grew to grow to be our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer. different roles, like Lamb of God, Michael the Archangel, etc., are of secondary magnitude to us. with the help of ways, "God and Savior" comes from an ambiguous reading contained in the Greek text textile at 2 Peter a million:a million and Titus 2:13. for this reason, not all English Bibles prepare the two "God and Savior" in those verses to Jesus Christ. And the Greek Septuagint Bible, which became the Bible of the early Christian gentile Church, calls the promised Messiah the "Angel of super tips" quite than "impressive Counsellor" at Isaiah 9:6: ??? ???????? ?? ????? ????? ??????? ?????? ??????? notice that it says "megales boules aggelos," Angel of super tips." and that's the way Isaiah 9:6 became quoted with the help of various early church "fathers." yet Jehovah's Witnesses have self assurance and prepare that the Lord Jesus Christ is plenty better than any angel. (Hebrews a million:3, 4)

False. If it is Jesus in the Bible, I challenge anyone that he was an Essen (Assin) man. And he had many tribe members with him walking and philosophizing, wondering about the universe, and why the Romans were coming up with this kind of discriminating behaviour, which made him foresee the 'desolations' of AD 70 AND 132.

logos literally means in greek the word. Its like in the first chapters of one of the gospils (not sure which) when it sais "in teh beginning, there was the word, and the word is god, and the word shall reign." or something like that. Yes it does have a rich heritae in greek, but not so much in hebrew.
