John seems to be setting the record straight, that the logos is God.

. . . and the word was with God...
You left the most important part out, where it says the word was God.
In the original, it is not, word, but, Logos. So there was a lot of different ideas of what the logos meant, by the Greek people, and anyone who used that language. John seems to be setting the record straight, that the logos is God.
I am suspicious then of monotheism.
he almost got himself killed. There never was Jesus, the god, and never will be. Jesus moved far away and the story took up in Southern France, and he had some offspring.
Holy Blood, Holy Grail, 1982
In The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, the authors put forward a hypothesis, that the historical Jesus married Mary Magdalene, had one or more children, and that those children or their descendants emigrated to what is now southern France. Once there, they intermarried with the noble families that would eventually become the Merovingian dynasty, whose special claim to the throne of France is championed today by a secret society called the Priory of Sion. They concluded that the legendary Holy Grail is simultaneously the womb of saint Mary Magdalene and the sacred royal bloodline she gave birth to.[7]
Moses was a Prophet, but he played too many games on trying to impress the illiterates to gain followers. They walked off and left him behind in the end. They were not at all impressed with the Midian zone.
Since the Trinity types have three gods in one, polytheism is their game. Only place to find that is Nimrod's Babylon mess, which is Satan's class. The original was Spirit, blood, water only, Jesus was a man the bled.
The only way Jesus returns is via the pious memory of the few, just as Revelations predicts. Most of the masses are dead in Christ won't find heaven on Earth. The others get to become the residents of Hell with nuclear fires. They will be quickly forgotten for their illitaracy that killed them for bogus beliefs
We are not in any hurry, those that know the truths, and we'll watch the destruction of the illiterates. And we'll have no sorrows for those lost, because it was explained correctly.

My current thought on Moses, is that he is a mythological character cooked up some time during the later pre-exile times to make a framework for where the heck these newly being introduced laws came from.
He (Pthena) is (seems like) comparing Zeus with YHWH.
Those of you talking about Zeus need to be sure to explain just how that fits into the Bible Texture for Trinity and Jesus.

People have written Him up as being more than He was, which is a regional god over the hills of southern Canaan.
YHWH loses its real significance once you try to make it a universal god.edit on 15-5-2012 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)

It was a political tool used in Old Testament times to create a majority within Canaan, so those with that one god could overpower the other tribes. It explains it in the book, Early Israelites. The Israelites made up between a quarter and a third of the population, but united, they outnumbered any other single tribe.

Not, for the Nimrod example, since it does not mention a trinity being the problem with him.
The only one that has Bible inclusion is Nimrod's mention, and the Jesus one was all about forgery and never existed.

The Jesus story is more about a god being just like us, than anything about what would be the inverse, so of course there would not be expected an emphasis on his divinity in the Bible.edit on 15-5-2012 by jmdewey60 because: (no reason given)

Scriptural evidence points to there being a simultaneous recognition of El and YHWH.
You see more use of YHWH in the Later Prophets, but I don't see where that comes from Babylon, but probably more a result of the loss of the northern kingdom where they would have used El more than the southern kingdom.
C) Jewels identical with those of Ugarit were worn by the ladies in Jerusalem 600 or 700 years after the destruction of Ugarit by conventional dating. [900] Jewels of gold are mentioned in the texts of Ras Shamra/Ugarit and were found there by excavators. The texts mention several kinds of gold pendants:
The poetic style and meter Texts of Ras Shamra/Ugarit have in common with Hebrew writing, especially that of Isaiah, rhythm and poetic forms which are developed in the `Song of Songs of Solomon'. The total number of syllabes in lines and larger units - both the stressed and the unstressed syllabes - form often metrical patterns in Hebrew poetry.
Many authors have written about "deceptive features in the Bible" insinuating that much of the Old Testament content had been borrowed from Canaanite sources. Next they cite the Sons of the god El rejoicing at the death of Baal at the hand of Mot; they then refer to texts found in Jeremiah 5:9, 21, 29 to show that these were influenced by Canaanite thought. But we are showing that the heydays of the city of Ugarit do not belong into the 15th-13th centuries BC but some 500-700 years later. It was not the mythical Sea Peoples who destroyed this city and caused the inhabitants and their ruler `Nikmed' (Nikomedes of Ionian Greek history) to flee by the sea but Shalmaeser III, King of Assyria, in 854 BC.

Is this the pinnacle of your research? Some dead guys crappy thesis? How many times does somebody tell you that the Babylon trinity doesn't exist or confront you with a plethora of evidence for the trinity pre this "forgery". What you're arguing is pointless, honestly.

You're missing the point entirely...
Organized religion is the only thing that seperates the lessons of all of them...
IF Jesus is the word made flesh as you say... what of the rest of the bible?
Is that Gods word as well? All murders, rapes and attrocities included?
