infinite progression
eternal eternity
ignorance
then experience
is there part of us which remains through ignorance
"the word was with God and the word was God"
"the word was God and the word was with God"
joining God and word together as one concept
then separating God and word
giving word part of God
giving God part of word
could be referencing writing of the statement
process of writing the word "God" and the person writing it refering to themselves as "God"
could be referencing society
people worshiping word and those with the word were looked on as though they were "God"
simlar to those educated thought well of
seems to raise word to God though
seems to put word before God due to the location
could have been
"God was the word and God was with the word"
"God was with the word and God was the word"
I prefer
"the word was with God and the word was God"
"God was with the word and God was the word"
emphasis on word
"the word was God and the word was with God"
"God was with the word and God was the word"
emphasis on God
"God was the word and God was with the word"
"the word was with God and the word was God"
highest emphasis on personal relationship between God and word with more emphasis on God near top
"the word was with God and the word was God"
"God was the word and God was with the word"
"God was with the word and God was the word"
"the word was with God and the word was God"
seems as though the one with least emphasis seems to state as though the word can chose who the word wants to be with and what the word is
seeing as how God should be more free than word
"God was with the word and God was the word"
personal relationship between "God" and "word"
"the word was with God and the word was God"
"God was with the word and God was the word"
"word" with capability similar to "God"
"God was the word and God was with the word"
"the word was God and the word was with God"
I do not think there is any way to put God and word together correctly without granting word part of God
Actually
"God was the word and the word was with God"
I think is most correct
other
"the word was God and God was with the word"
"the word was with God and God was the word"
"God was the word and the word was with God"
or more correct to me
"God is the word and the word is with God"
