Λέξη refers to a specific, narrowly defined word; whereas Λόγος has the much broader meaning of “word”. English speakers have been translating λόγος as word for over 500 years! Christ the Word! The Word became flesh! Λόγος/Word in this sense has a meaning of: a recitation, a flow of words, a talk, a sermon. In English Protestants will say, the pastor gave the word, i.e. a sermon. Likewise in Greek, a sermon/homily/ομιλία is often called a λόγος! Writings of the Holy Fathers, that were actually given as sermons are often called λόγοι! Λόγος can mean ομιλία, λαλιά, λέξη, θέμα and much more. Λόγος has many meanings, one of which the early translators of the Scriptures into English chose the English word, Word. Teachers/preachers of the Orthodox Faith have to explain the many and profound meanings of the word “Word” (Λόγος) when teaching about the Christ the Word. <br /> Many, especially Protestants, think that Gid the Father created the Earth and all that is in it, when in reality God the Father spoke the Word (ο Λόγος) and breathed the Spirit (το Πνεύμα) and it was so! The All Holy Trinity created together as one!

One point in the translation though..Λογος does not translate to word..Λέξη means word. This is an error too in the gospel of John..λογος is logic and the logos of God is the divine order.<br />There are volumes written by Aristotle on the concept of Λογος<br />Thank you once again for a valuable artickeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398211467857579985noreply@blogger.com
