THE Logos existed in the very beginning, the Logos was with God, the Logos was divine.

he entered the world ??the world which existed through him ??yet the world did not recognize him;

Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending to where he formerly existed?

"Truly, truly I tell you," said Jesus, "I have existed before Abraham was born."

They wilfully ignore the fact that heavens existed long ago, and an earth which the word of God formed of water and by water.

It is of what existed from the very beginning, of what we heard, of what we saw, of what we witnessed and touched with our own hands, it is of the Logos of Life

(the Life has appeared; we saw it, we testify to it, we bring you word of that eternal Life which existed with the Father and was disclosed to us) ??3 it is of what we heard and saw that we bring you word, so that you may share our fellowship; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

"Thou deservest, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for it was thou who didst create all things: they existed and were created by thy will."
