Re: Is Jesus God

Isn't the "Word" another name for the Logos, the first born of all creation,
that created everything else? Didn't the term originate with Philo of Alexandria
who took the concept from Greek philosophy,the Logos as an intermediate divine
being or "demiurge."

Paul was a Greek Jew. Didn't he write in Col 1:15:

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in*
him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been
created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in* him
all things hold together." (NRSV)

> Given that the first chapter of St. John's Gospel in which Jesus is referred
to as "The Word" says that he is, so also does the Creed we say at Mass that
originates with the Council of Nicea 325 AD. Yes, Jesus is God. Do I believe it?
Yep. Can I be convinced otherwise? No.
