Almost all translations were made by trinitarians so of course there is bias in the translation. I do like the KJV personally.

I want to focus of the word in John 1. I believe the word is not a person or being. It is God's word. God created all things through His all powerful word just as all things are created through His wisdom and yet wisdom isn't a person or being either. God's word is life. The word was made flesh. Jesus is the living word of God. That doesn't mean that the word was Jesus in some pre-existent form.

Any other understanding makes a mess of the Bible in my opinion.

These discussions have been going on from the very beginning so I don't expect to change your mind about God in one or two comments. I just hope that I can give you something to think about. I believe that in a simple reading of the Bible we can see that no writer thought Jesus was God, no Jew expected the Messiah to be God, and it is only through persecution and murder that the doctrine of the trinity reigns in the church today.

I believe that a good number of trinitarians will be in the many who will say Lord, Lord..
