"The Word Was God"

John 1:1

“The Word Was God”

A man’s word is not a second man; Yahuah’s Word is Yahuah speaking

Yahuah’s Word is simply Yahuah speaking --- no second God, no second self.

--- The Standing Stone ---

Behind “LORD” in your Bible lies a hidden name --- in the Hebrew it is Yahuah Psalm 83:18**; Yahuah is the Father** Isaiah 63:16**; Yahuah is the only God, beside Him there is no other** Isaiah 45:5**; therefore Yahuah the Father is the only true God, leaving no room for a second or third person** 1 Corinthians 8:6**.**

A man’s word is not a second man, and Yahuah’s Word is not a second Yahuah --- it is simply Yahuah speaking, just as “the word of Yahuah” came to every prophet before Him.

1 --- A Word Is Not a Second Speaker

Of all the verses gathered to argue that Yahushua is God, John 1:1 is treated as the strongest. Read it slowly, and it is the weakest. In the King James it reads:

John 1:1

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

Everything rests on three words: “the Word was God.” From them the trinitarian reading builds a second divine being, said to have lived alongside Yahuah before the world began. But read the verse as you would read it about anyone who has ever spoken, and that weight falls away.

Your word is your own. When you speak, your word goes out from you, carries your meaning, and stands for you completely --- and yet your word is not a second you standing in the room. It is simply you, speaking. The Word of Yahuah is no different. It is Yahuah, putting His will into speech.

Scripture has always spoken this way. On the first page, Yahuah creates by speaking --- “Let there be light,” and there was light Genesis 1:3. “By the word of Yahuah were the heavens made” Psalm 33:6. Again and again, “the word of Yahuah came” to the prophets Jeremiah 1:4 --- and never once a second deity. The word of Yahuah is Yahuah, expressing Himself.

λόγος

logos (G3056)

a word, saying, speech --- the outward expression of a thought.

דָּבָר

dabar (H1697)

word, speech, matter, thing --- the same idea, one testament earlier.

John writes with Genesis open before him. He opens with its very words --- “In the beginning” --- pointing the reader back to creation, where the Father spoke and it was so. The Word that was “with God” and “was God” is Yahuah’s own utterance: fully His, because it is His. No second God stands beside the Most High in the line.

In Revelation the Son is even named “The Word of God” Revelation 19:13 --- but the Messiah wears many titles: the Lamb, the Vine, the Good Shepherd, the Bright and Morning Star. Being called “the Word of God” no more makes him the eternal God than “the Lamb” makes him a sheep; it marks him as the one who carries the Father’s word, not a second deity.

The deeper question --- “the Word was made flesh” in verse 14 --- has a study of its own. Verse 1 carries none of that weight; it says only what it has always said.

Conclusion

The Verdict

Lay aside the load pressed onto three words, and the verse says what it always said: the Father spoke, and His Word is His own. No second God hides in the line --- only Yahuah, and the voice that is His.

Yahuah’s Word is simply Yahuah, speaking --- no second God, no second self, no second anything. Case closed.
