Hello Evangelion and God bless-

He's going to go for the 'literal dabar'. What does this mean?
That the word "Word" in John1, Rev20:4, and Matt5:37 must mean the same thing e.g. "A breath of air!". It's fallacy of equivocation.
What do they actually mean?
John1- Christ. See Gen1:2..cf..Ex3:2,4..cf..Isaiah9:6 [LXX]..cf..the Memra [Word of YHWH]. It's his role in creation. He is the voice of God, as the one who plows is the 'plower'.
Rev20:4- If not Christ, the written word of God, more specifically, the Gospel.
Matt5:37- A literal vibration of atmosphereic particles.
