Conclusion; (St.John 1:1) 

“In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God."  This scripture is perceived and taught by the Christianity faith”, to be accepted as “In the beginning was Jesus, and Jesus was with God, and Jesus was God.’ The text does not read "In the beginning was Jesus".  John wrote what he knew to be received truth. John was talking about God himself alone. John knew in order to show and prove that Jesus is the begotten son of God; he has to prove it first by how God made this to be so. He is making the connection of Jesus to God and God to Jesus, by starting from the beginning of all things in creation. John himself even gave the key to understanding the first chapter of John by saying this in John20:30-And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:31- But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. John declares that the God truth inspired in his heart is that Jesus is the son of God, not Jesus is God. Any other conclusion is the wrong conclusion, and is the results from not properly rightly dividing the scriptures, therefore is of the spirit of error. 

One of the purposes of the Holy Ghost in the believer is to lead and guide you into all truth (Holy Scriptures), this will have you rightly dividing the scriptures and causing you to accept and to believe the written word of God correctly and not to believe the personal interpretations of false prophet teachers concerning the scriptures. You are not allow to add nor take away, nor assume an interpretation of the scriptures, and then declare it as truth. This is why from Genesis to Revelation, you cannot simply read the fact that Jesus is and was God, nor ever did God transform himself through incarnation into a man.

Therefore, the first chapter of John, has no purpose in declaring that God is Jesus and Jesus is the Word, otherwise that would be a contradiction to his claimed purpose of writing the book.  Jesus is the results or product of God's word. In Isaiah 55:11-So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

In the beginning was the "Spoken Word or Words" (i.e. God's Commands). The concept of substituting the original Greek term 'Logos/word' with "Jesus" has been the traditional error sin for the past many centuries. Hence it is not easy to believe otherwise and this has cause a serious spiritual snare of damnation for the believer who believes this way and confesses and teach this to others as truth, that Jesus was God, or also to believe that these scriptures supports that Jesus is Deity.

The Greek term 'Logos' is derived from the root word 'Lego' meaning "to speak". The literal translation of the word 'Logos' is "something spoken, thought" which means a Command that is spoken, and a Thought that is expressed. 

Nowhere in the Old Testament has the "word of God" ever been "personified", much less seen as being an actual person. It's always described as an "it or something" and according to scripture, always been "what God has said". Christianity also teaches further that "and Jesus was with God and Jesus was God." How can Jesus be "with" God, and "was" God, as well? It defies the logic thinking unless you have been bewitched to believe a lie. The bible clearly teaches two separate entities. There is only one True Living God. The Lord God the Father, who is a spirit (creator) and the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of God, who is a man (creation). In the beginning, God was the only entity existing, for he proclaims “I am from everlasting to everlasting” and he who is the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. This equals being immortal.  Jesus on the other hand was spoken into existence (the Word) by God and was made immortal by God through his spirit and the resurrection from the dead. Jesus was not existing, nor helping God the Father to create and make all things in the beginning. The lack of spiritual understanding for the usage of the words, "create"-mind, "form"-process and "made"-complete finish, have lead to false doctrines from devils. Such as in Col.1:16 which reads- For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him. The word "by" is not meaning "from or responsible", but "after and for". Also in understanding the clause “and the word was God" is that God uses the singular form of "word" when he means "his words" in plural. So God's word is all his words. God and only God speak his words out from his mind. He has the omnipotent ability to make things exist by speaking.  All of the words are his and therefore, is his "word".  So again in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. This scripture is not saying Jesus is existing as the word and Jesus was God that belief has been taught in error through false religions. Also, Christ Jesus is given power in the glory of God -to speak like his father in Rev.19 chapter. Rev.19:13 say, his name is called The Word of God. The scripture did not say Jesus was, or is the word! But name is called, meaning Jesus represents the word of God, which is always the word is the will of God. Rev.19:15 say, out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. When God spoke the words for his son to be, then the words or word became flesh (a man), but not God himself became flesh. When God by his word made Adam, Adam was not God and God was not Adam, But Adam was the product of God or the results of God expressing himself. It is the same understanding concerning Jesus.

Therefore in Isai.45:18- For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else. And also in Isai.44:24- Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.  One of the main problems that prevent many from understanding the truth and this mystery is "believing Jesus is Deity".  The Lord Christ Jesus is not Deity, nor a demigod!  These beliefs are purely heresy and are of the spirit of Antichrist. Jesus is a man, and now presently and forever a wholly “Glorified man".  If Jesus was a god or is god, then that would contradict all of the claims in the Old Testament records that God made about himself. God said he is a one and only, true, living God. God says he was alone and by himself, and that there are no other gods before him .Nowhere in scripture does God describes himself as having 3 persons, that is one god, neither that he is, or was a man. For he says more than once about himself this- Isai.44:6, Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Isai.43:10, Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.Duet.32:12 &39, So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

Also in St.John1:12,it saids -But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name..This scripture is not addressing Christ Jesus, this applies to Father God, in other words, "as many received God, to them God gave them to become his sons, even also them that believe on God's name>"Yahweh/Jehovah". God's name was first used for salvation in the world, then after the resurrection of his son, Christ Jesus, God the Father gave the name “Lord Jesus Christ" for salvation, which is not God's name, but his son's name. That’s why the bible teaches that there are 2 Savours to mankind. Father God, was the first, and then he made his son the second.

In Titus 1:3 is the spirit, Father God our Saviour and 1:4 is the man, Lord Jesus Christ our saviour.

God saves us by his plan and sending Jesus to die in our guilty steads and Jesus is our saviour for being in obedience to God's plan, and to shed his blood and to die for us.                                

This proof makes the opening of John's Gospel coincides perfectly with the prologue of the Book of Genesis which reads; "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light." (Gen.1:1-3). And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him(Christ); male and female created he them(Adam&Eve).(Gen.1:26,27)

Here is the 3 earlier version of transliteration; 

1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with god, and the word was god. 2 The same was in the beginning with god.[KJV.1611]

1 In the  beginning was that word, and that word was with god, and that word was god. 2 This same was in the beginning with god.[GNV.1599]

¶ In the beginning was that word, and that word was with god: and god was that word. The same was in the beginning with god.[TYND.1526]

To say that God himself became Jesus the man, or God made himself a fleshly body suit  in order to be with mankind through a woman and die for them, is not only a demonic grave blasphemy, but has been repeatedly denied by Jesus, who never declares himself as the one God  from the Gospels. There are no record of anyone believing that Jesus is God or a diety can obtain "the eternal life”, in John 17:3, which reads" And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." And John 4:9-that God sent his only begotten son into the world, that we might live through him. 

The Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ preach that “Jesus was the very Christ, the son of God and that this man was approved of God!” Never ever that any preached Jesus was or is God, or Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. This shows that ignorance of darkness and the belief and worshipping a god that does not exist as a spirit god and a fleshly man, one cannot obtain the eternal life that Jesus declares.

So was God  a creator and a creation person.That would be a total contradiction, because God is he who has made all things created, then Jesus cant be God because he declared himself as a creation from God. Rev.3:14- These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning(1st.) of the creation of God and Gen.1:27- God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him. Jesus was created in the mind of God before the beginning of all things that were made. In Gen 1:31, everything in the creation plan of God was made, except Jesus, because God had a primary plan for Jesus when and how Jesus was going to be made and what glory the Father God had given for him to have. Gal.4:4. This study is more profound truth that proves, the Lord Jesus Christ is not the only Lord God!
