[B-Greek] differences

To put it in simplest terms, in the NT, LOGOS has a much larger range
of meanings and in most passages you could not replace LOGOS
with hRHMA without damaging the text, whereas I think in most
cases you could replace rHEMA with LOGOS without noticing
much difference.  Much more could be said, and I hope others
will say more while trying to not to say too much more.
 
Paul tends to use LOGOS in  few places with negative
connotations--fancy words of pompous human wisdom and 
without looking it up, I think prefers rHMA TOU QEOU to LOGOS 
TOU QEOU (though I know he uses it at least once in 1 Cor 14 I
think)  Outside the prologue, I think John and 123 John refer to
Jesus' words with both LOGOS and rHMA interchangably. 
 
There is nothing you can really say on this topic which is not
partly true, nor anything which is invariably true.
