I’ve never heard that Philosophy of Alexandria was a member of the Roman Imperial Cult/family, however I have heard that he had a ΛΟΓΟC, λόγος, logos concept going on before the gospel of John was written. The logos being like a tool. A carpenter needs tools to work with the wood. The logos is like an angel that communicates between God and Man. The messenger, because God cannot directly communicate or be in the presence of Man, which seems mostly agreeable with many Old Testament stories. The logos in John 1 being like the tool that the Father used to create everything, which agrees mostly with the Nicene Creed, and with Trinity doctrine that the Father created through using the Word, where the Word and Son are a synonymous person. However the Word, Son, Jesus is not considered to be an angel in Trinity doctrine. But angels are considered to be sons of God in the Old Testament.

And yikes, this gets very wordy trying to understand the ancient Hebrew stories within their language at the time, and if that’s really possible after Hellenistic Judaism and the Greek language. It’s posts and theological arguments like this that got me banned from the Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange platform 30 days and for 365 days, more than once too. Oh well 🤷‍♂️
