Unfortunately, right out of the box you misstate what the scriptures teach about Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus is called “the Christ (Messiah), the son of G-d, NEVER G-d the Son. The latter title is an unfortunate carryover from romanism and a departure from sound doctrine that occurred during the 4th century CE, when the so-called “trinity” doctrine was foisted upon Christianity. Jesus himself never claimed to be G-d or equal to G-d. (John 14:28b)
For those people too lazy to study the scriptures, I could point to John 20:31, John 14:28, John 17:3, Matt. 3:17, Luke 9:35, Acts 9:20, Gal. 4:6, etc. In both the O.T. And N.T., Jesus is referred to as the “Memra” or the “Logos,” or "The Word," in the sense of the creative or directive word or speech of G-d manifesting His power in the world of matter or mind.
The Apostle John was not a Greek nor was he a Sophist philosopher. He was a Hebrew, a follower of the true G-d, the miraculous G-d, and an apostle of the messiah, Yeshua. He understood the term “logos” to mean so much more than an impersonal term for logic and order in the universe. But translating into different languages can remove meaning from the original as the translator seeks to come up with terms as close to the original context of the work but that is also familiar with his readers as well. In Hebraic tradition, from the time of Abraham and onward, the term “Word” was understood as the mysterious manifestations of G-d that would come into the world in order to bring the Kingdom/reign of G-d. See 1 Cor. 1 :24 for an example”…Christ, the power of G-d, and the wisdom of G-d.”
Our Messiah, Yeshua, the “wisdom of G-d,” the one that was with Him before creation, came to us in the form of a man, lived with us in the flesh, and once crucified and risen again, inhabits every believer. “There is one G-d, and one mediator between G-d and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1Tim. 2:5) Maranatha.
