Interpreting the Word from John as being Jesus is a far stretch.

Are you deliberately being obtuse? Keep reading in the same chapter:

John 1:14-15: And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

Pastor, our new friend PIF certainly sounds like yet another atheist trying to pick apart the Bible with so-called "inconsistencies".

Why do they hate Jesus so? Why can't they just let us praise Him in peace, and establish His kingdom in the United States?

Re: Before Christianity and its Spread

Interpreting the Word from John as being Jesus is a far stretch. Jesus was a prophet God used to spread the true faith. Jesus was not God. That's what the verses say.

How can you fail to comprehended what God has so succinctly stated: and the Word was God!.

Notice the capital G in God. It doesn't say "the Word was a god" or "the Word was godly", does it?

Here's another quote for you to ponder:

1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
