Did the Jews make the Word into their god?

Answer 1

The Logos was a concept of the ancient Greek philosophers, only approximately translated into English as 'Word'. This was adopted and elaborated on by Philo of Alexandria, a notable leader of the Jewish diaspora in Egypt. According to Philo, Logos was God's son, a second god, through whom the world was created as a rational and ordered universe. Born of mother Wisdom and appearing in the world, the Logos was the agent through whom the great leaders of Israel learned what God expected of them.

From Philo, the 'Word' reached Christianity, with John's Gospel beginning by referring to Jesus as the 'Word' of God.

Answer 2

No. We have always worshiped God who gave the Torah, not the Torah itself, wisdom or anything else. Notions claiming otherwise would be those of Greek-influenced philosophers, not normative Judaism.

Answer 3

So you think the Jewish "god" is named Jew??
