Word (Logos) is fully divine; eternal Son coexistent with God
The C&MA interprets John 1:1 as affirming the full divinity and coeternity of the Logos (Word) with God the Father. The grammatical structure 'kai ho logos en pros ton theon' emphasizes distinct persons, while 'kai theos en ho logos' affirms that the Word possessed divine nature. This verse is foundational to C&MA Trinitarian theology and classical Christology.
