The name (or, perhaps, title) "the Word" apparently identifies the function that God's firstborn Son performed after other intelligent creatures were formed. Jehovah evidently used his Son to convey information and instructions to others of his family of spirit sons, even as he used that Son to deliver his message to humans on earth. Showing that he was God's Word, or Spokesman, Jesus said to his Jewish listeners: "What I teach is not mine, but belongs to him that sent me. If anyone desires to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching whether it is from God or I speak of my own originality."-John 7:16,17.

∙ 12y agoIn the New Testament Gospel of John, chapter 1, it says that in the beginning, there was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God-- in other words, as in the Hebrew Bible, God created by His Word, and His Word has existed since the beginning of time. What He said came into being. And for those Christians who believe that Jesus is both God and the Son of God, this reference to "the Word was with God" and "the Word was God" also refers to Jesus, as does the next line, which says that "He was with God in the beginning."

∙ 8y agoA:The Word (Logos) was a Greek concept that appears to have entered Christianity through Philo of Alexandria and was taken up by the Johannine community, that produced the gospel now known as John's Gospel, and the Epistles of John. The Gospel does not have Jesus call himself the Word, but does make that claim in John 1:1, which says the Word was with God in the beginning and was God.

Do you need to believe that Jesus is divine to be a member of the greek orthodox religion?
Yes, this is essential to the Orthodox Faith, because the Holy Bible tells us that Jesus (being the Word or Logos) is God. (John 1:1) The 'Word' is an English translation of the Greek word 'Logos' which refers to a person (Jesus) rather than to the written word (Bible). Particularly as the written Bible did not exist in the beginning, whereas Jesus has always existed with God the Father.
