John 1:
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
What does it mean to say that the Word was WITH God?
Thanks.
John 1, and the Word was with God

It simply means that the Word is distinct from God the Father, and God The Holy Spirit.Christian2 wrote:John 1:

Theos can refer to God the Father, God The Son, or God The Holy Spirit.
