Sola Chad mostly conjures faith thoughts, and he hastily tweeted something that got everyone talking. The tweet carried the still-wondrous opening line of the Gospel of John-‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God’-and was affixed onto it one extraordinary piece of bespoke artwork. The reactions? Mixed-emoting from praise to theological discussion to some random chit-chat. Classic Twitter.

Michael Laabs hopped right in after the post with absolute admiration, saying it was beautiful and threw in the praying hands emoji. Mary Ledford, however, chimed in to say it is one of her favorite Bible verses. Simple and wholesome. Then it turned spicy.
ByYourName02 came up with a question that set the entire conversation in motion: ‘Is Jesus the Word of God, or is that the Holy Spirit?’ James Trotter was not lying one bit; he quoted John 1:14, saying, ‘Jesus is the Word made flesh.’ Tresa comes in, basically mic-dropping John 14:6. Theologians on Twitter went wild.
Then Andreas went right ahead and reworked big John 1:1 as ‘the right version.’ Very bold. He has much longer, more elaborate claims that drop the name of the Son much more often. Sola Chad wasn’t bothered, but Cody swooped in to ask Andreas if he was on TikTok. Random? Yes. That’s Twitter for you.
Arose, definitely a Sola Chad reply regular, asked when the Sunday Bible studies would be coming back. Chad responded honestly-life has just been too busy, but he is hoping to start Romans 2 next Sunday. Arose then commented that she herself was slow crawling through Romans-one chapter a night. Very relatable.
Then Melanie Hynes went in saying short and sweet: ‘Jesus is God Amen.’ No explanation needed. TruthMattersJC decided to take a hard left turn and ask Sola Chad what he thought about the Pope dying and coincidentally right after meeting VP Vance. Huh?
While those wanting to ‘learn more’ have a link from Chad Creasy, UntilHeReturns4U would probably be saying: ‘If you want to know Jesus, read Him.’ Direct. Impactful.
There was hardly anything needed in terms of the tweet-the scripture and the artwork were it. But with replies were those kinds of faith, curiosity, and chaos mixed together: some came for the scripture; others for the theological fight; and some for the TikTok account check.

The moral: So, one little biblical verse can open a response from the deeply spiritual to the utterly random. That’s what Sola Chad’s post did: unity for some, division for others, and others just kept scrolling. But hey, that’s social media. And all of that still somehow conveys ‘The Word was God.’ Mic drop.
