Word in the Greek is logos meaning message.  Not focussing on the actual media of message but on the thought or focus on the content of the message.

For instance, both words and actions convey information.  Both communicate.

Logos is therefore not limited to person or thing, but is both person and words.

God is the source of all light and knowledge, wisdom, understanding etc.  Thus God is primarily the logos.  However, His son, Jesus Christ both lived and spoke the truth God wanted him to communicate.

How do we know this? Because God’s written logos, the scriptures tell us this.

Thus, God and His son and the written word is the logos.

And since we are to hold forth the words of life, the degree and accuracy to which we share God’s word we are in part, as followers and immitators of God, His son and the written word, we share in being, in our limited way, a logos, as well.

In that very passage you quoted, the emnity is clearly stated.

 

“even the law of commandments contained in ordinances;”

 

The law, though holy, was given to hold the believers in check, so to speak, until grace by Jesus Christ was made available.

We now have the responsibility and privilege to live by grace, not the law of Moses.

Romans 12:1-3… and other places, by renewing the mind to think and do what God’s word instructs us to think and do

[sonofGod]

Depending on the context, the Word could refer to God , or Jesus His only begotten son or it can refer to the written word of God.

God, in order to fulfill his desire and plan for creation and purpose for mankind, had to communicate His will via words or the word.

He did so by Himself or via His son or via the written word (as far as a permanent wirtten record of it).

Jesus is the permanent human record of God’s word and will, God’s intentions, plans, laws, etc.

God communicated to Adam via revelation in the form of words, God can likewise communicate in other ways such as visions, etc.

But as far as “the Word” is concerned, there are those three basic options depending on context

 

[sonofGod]

No!

God created everthing by himself

However, He did create all things with His only begotten son in mind, even as a loving married couple will prepare for a child

Certainly not water baptism

 

That was replaced by the baptism in holy spirit, the gift from God who is the Holy Spirit.

The original outpouring of the gift from the Holy Spirit, which is holy spirit, is the baptism of or in holy spirit, but that progressed to being referred to as baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, which has nothing to do with water.

 

Baptism in the name of Jesus Christ refers to all that the life, death, resurrection, ascension, seating at the right hand of God and the giving of the gift is to the born again believer.

[sonofGod]

Both.

 

evidently, there is to be one anti christ in particular

 

but likewise many people are anti christ in principle

The us and our is one God who uses the plural to magnify His stature as the one and only Creator, without whom nothing other than God would exist

my thoughts is to let each person speak for themselves as individuals.  Although I do not agree with certain denominational beliefs, I also am aware that not all individuals in a denomination strictly adhere to their denominations doctrines.  My dad was raised Roman Catholic and remained so all of his life, as far as I could tell,  but he expressed pleny of reasons why he did not buy into all their doctrines

By renewing our minds to think what the word of God says we should think.

Romans 12:1-3

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

This is stated in other passages in scripture as well.

There are prophecies that have more than one fulfillment.   “out of Egypt have a I called my son” refers to both the nation of Israel being lead out by Moses as well as Joseph and Mary and Jesus returning to live in Galilee

Jesus was God’s plan for man’s salvation and redemption from the beginning.   The beginning of Jesus Christ is declared in Matthew 1:18,  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

The word “birth” is gennesis in the Greek, which means “beginning”.  Birth, of course, is the beginning of a living soul,  as Genesis 2:7 indicates.  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Jesus Christ began with his conception and birth.  Before that, Jesus Christ was part of God’s plan for man’s redemption and salvation.   Jesus, the son of God was in God’s foreknowledge

Who? how about “what is the word”?

The word, or logos is defined by a message not emphasizing the actual words or means used to communicate the message but the intent of the message sender.   Another Greek word, rhema, emphasizes the actual words used to communicate the message.  Both are important.

 

Logos is the message, the intended idea or concept that is being communicated

God’s written word is the logos, as well as the author of God’s word, that is God himself as well as the son of God who also communicates the message God intends for us to receive, believe and understand.

 

Without considering the actual definition of the word logos, we lose the great intent of John 1.  that is, God is communicating himself to us via the written word and the word in the flesh, Jesus Christ

Likewise, there are other so called “trinities” in scripture that Trinitarians ignore.

1.  Peter, James and John.

2.  Body, soul and spirit I Thessalonians 5:23

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

3.  Joseph and Mary and Jesus

4.  Job 1:8-9  three beings are mentioned in one verse, thus a trinity (according to some trinitarians, they point out Father and son and spirit in single verses and declare proof of a threesome)

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
