My assertion is that its translated as 'the Word was God', because of religious bias, not because that's what the Greek text actually says. If there is any textual basis for translating the text as, 'The word was God', I'd be glad to hear it.
Basing an argument on the basis of, 'its true because many believe it to be true;, or in this instance, ...[text shortened]... 18 of the same chapter says that 'no man has seen God at any time', plenty of people saw Jesus.
Basing an argument on the basis of, 'its true because many believe it to be true;, or in this instance, 'its true because many people have translated it that way', as as you are aware is a logical fallacy.
I am not basing anything on a general consensus, I was merely pointing out 2 resources that seem to say the same thing, the thing you said it needed to say. As far as I know, the texts are all different, even the one from the BibleHub.

Have you ever checked out logo.com?
Actually while we are on the subject if you notice recent trends the internet is driving for purely flat minimalistic logos, if you look at facebook, google +, twitter etc, they all use simple flat logos in their corporate identity.

-Removed-Such apathy towards Bible study cannot be healthy, but then again, when the whole basis of your faith is nothing more than some kind of emotional attachment to flimsy notions of salvation rather than solid reason then what else are we to expect. As for your inability to actually address the thread theme this latest offering is merely reflective of that trend of irrelevancy, logical fallacy and nothingness.
At the risk of repeating myself. i have learned nothing from you and I don't see why its profitable to give even a semblance of attention to your texts for if I wanted an uninterrupted flow of caustic diatribe, sensationalistic claims on the basis of fabricated opinions, I'd buy the Daily Mail, but thanks anyway.
