As has been well noted, this thread began with a heavy burden of  
theological cargo.
A few of the 52 posts (at my last count) in it have focused on the  
grammatical issues.
It appears that it is almost impossible to have a discussion on John  
1:1c without
bringing forth more heat than light. Stances have been taken,  
convictions have
been enunciated, but I see little evidence that arguments have been  
adduced that have
changed a single mind. Let's call a halt to this now.

I've been watching baseball all afternoon, and enjoying it. There's  
another game to
be played tonight with Maddox pitching for the Dodgers against  
Glavine for the
Mets. Some may find that more entertaining than an ongoing give-and- 
take over
John 1:1c that seems to be all give and no take (or vice-versa,  
depending upon
your perspective).
