I'm not following you. How can Jesus be the Word but the Word not be Jesus? Can you explain that a little more? When it says the Word became flesh how do you not equate that to being the Word became baby Jesus? I'm always careful when reading the Bible to try to use the most common sense approach to what it's saying unless it contradicts other verses. If Jesus is not God than whomever wrote this and the rest of the new testament was not very careful with their wording and almost blatantly attempted to lead people astray.
