John the Baptist also the Word of God


By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, by the breath of His mouth, all their host. (Psalm 33:6)

------------

Christians make a joke claim that Jesus being the Word of God must also be God, since the Word of God belongs to him and anything coming out of God is part of God.  This means the  heavens and all its host must also be God. Think of it, according to Psalm 33:6 by the "Word" of God the heaven were made, and by his "Breath" all its host. If his Word makes Jesus part of him, what about his Breath does it not belong to him?  Both Word and Breath belong to God, thus the heavens and all its host are also God, that is if we are to think like Christians.



The Gemara asks: Does it refer to the repetition of the phrase: “And He said” in Genesis? There are only nine such phrases, not ten. The Gemara answers that the phrase “In the beginning” is also considered an utterance, as it is written: “By the word of the Lord were the heavens made” (Psalms 33:6), which indicates that all of creation came into existence through a single utterance, after which all matter was formed into separate and distinct entities by means of the other nine utterances. (Talmud Rosh Hashanah 32a:19)


Interesting John the Baptist, according to Luke was also the Word of God

Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.” (Luke 1:36-37)

Notice after mentioning Elizabeth, the Angel says " For no word from God will ever fail" telling us John the Baptist was also the Word of God. It gets even more interesting when Mary of the Bible wishes for the "WORDS OF GABRIEL" to be fulfilled

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. (Luke 1:38)

Here "your Word" is directed to the Angel.
