Jesus said, I and the Father are one. Or, as your link says, I and the Father one are.
The WORD was God. What part of that do you not understand?
I understand that. That is what the translations say. But the Greek says God was the Word.
no he used the Greek word heis https://biblehub.com/greek/1520.htm even the Jews understood that he had just stated that he and the father were the same person
What's the difference? God was the Word, the Word was God? So what?
How does that translate into the WORD not being God in your mind?
The WORD which took on flesh to walk this world, the WORD known as Jesus.
I don't see the word person here, or the idea either. That would have to be extrapolated if true.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I think you butcher Scripture.
I am agreeing that you have it right according to the translation. But see here to get it more right.
John 1:1 TR - Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος
In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and God was the word.
lol, I realize you don't see it but the Jews he was speaking to fully understood that he had just stated he was God and took up stones to stone him because he said it(you just don't believe what Jesus said the same as they did not)... https://biblehub.com/interlinear/john/10-33.htm
John 5:18 NASB20 - For this reason therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
