Please forgive my eavesdropping in discussions almost completely beyond me,
but was not John doing the only thing that he could do — which was; moving
the discussion to a more intelligible, contemporary, rational understanding of
Jesus? In the beginning, wasn’t Jesus first _the Way_ and eventually the
Way AND the Word; and by the time of John’s interpretation just _the Word_?
It seems that Logos was an ideal translatory term for John to use. I always
thought that it must have meant all the right things for him (more than just
‘word,’ as such) and moved the level of intelligibility right where it was
destined to go: into a detached and more Platonic understanding.

Oh, and one more thing. Such an extraordinary event could only
happen bin itself, of itself, from out of itself. Perfectly placed
in time and space to be what it is.

Jud:
Cloud cuckooland stuff. There are no such things as *events.* What are
referred to as *events*
are sundry objects changing due to existential external or internal
impingement.
The bumbling John glossed logos as *word* where the accepted Greek epithet
regarding the divine *word* applied to Jesus was from leloga perf. mid of lego
[to say] Dawson’s Greek-English Lexicon 1841.

*So in the beginning was the crazy idea* not *the word* - and {because God
being God knows and plans the future] the idea was to create *the Way* (the
conditions) for the holocaust, twin towers and other horrors. BTW , whilst he
was performing his then present tasks of creating scorpions and cockroaches
and cataloguing his future crimes, who was *God* talking to in between 1 to 26
of Genesis? Adam and Eve weren’t around to listen, cos they were not
created until 27. And God said this… and God said that…

Seems he was an absent-minded old codger by the sound of it.

Correct misreading? I bet you never say that of your student’s work?

Jud Evans.
