John 1:1-5

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (John 1:1-5)

This is one of those sticky conditions derived from thousands of years ago and perpetuated since by those mindlessly parroting what someone else said or opined and never taking the time to understand just exactly what is being meant originally. If we take a truly objective stance in deciphering this quote we must first define our terms. Failure to define terms results in nonsense and a perpetuation of the original nonsense. Over the years I’ve gathered definitions I thought would aide and assist us in make sense from seeming nonsense. We encounter ego problems when we question firmly held assumptions/beliefs/definitions. Only the courageous can confront their own beliefs ridding the unsound from their mind. Read and understand these definitions - in context - then a rereading of the quoted text takes on a much truer and richer meaning - enough to change one’s life.
