A biblical distinction is the essence of sound theology.

In John 1:1-14, John introduced the Word. The
Word was in the beginning. The Word was with God and is God. All things were
made by the Word. In the Word was life. And the Word became flesh and lived
among us.
In John 1:16-17, the Word is identified as
Jesus Christ…

The Word made flesh, not the Word, is
identified as Jesus, the Son of God. The Word is the one-natured Divine Being;
Jesus, the Word made flesh, is the dual-natured Divine-human Being.

You are correct that Jesus, the Word, the
second person of the Trinity, has a dual nature, human and divine. But Jesus
and the Word are not distinct. You cannot say one of them has a single nature
and the other has a dual nature.

Not a few read John 1:1,14 like this:
1 In the beginning was the Son, and the Son
was with God, and the Son was God...14 And the Son was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father,) full of grace and truth.
To EQUATE the Word as Jesus, the Son of God,
necessarily implies:
- the incarnation, the Word made flesh, is
superfluous.
- the eternal humanity of the Word.
The Word is the one-natured eternal Divine Being
Jesus, the Word made flesh, is the dual-natured Divine-human Being.
Are these not elementary and obvious?

I am missing your point.

You didn’t miss my point; you actually
dismissed it!

Sir, you are treading in very dangerous
territory.
Sir, you know very little about the
Scriptures and even less about Christ. You are a self-appointed teacher. Your
comments are heretical and you are only bringing blasphemous reproach on the
absolutely Holy Sovereign God-Man, the Living Word, the second person of the
Holy Trinity.
Sing
Ma'am, thank you for your kind words.
Which part of my comments don't you understand, or are heretical?
You will do me a kind favour by teaching me the
Holy Scriptures.
