“A GOD” OR GOD?

This sentence does not mean that the Word was “the God” (the Father) with whom the Word was from the beginning as stated in John 1:1,2. Clause (c) states one thing only: that the Word, the pre-human Jesus, was God by nature! To put it another way, it means that the essence of the “Word” is exactly the same as the Father’s.
