Arius - The Word is God !!! The Bible says so. Therefore God became flesh.

Yes, it became flesh but retained the divinity of God.  There are a number of reasons this was necessary.  But let us first examine one argument at a time or we will become bogged down.

Jesus was God because the Word was God and we know that the Word was Jesus because the attributes of the Word match the Attributes of Christ, and verse 14 says as much.  The Jews of Christ's day definitely took offense with Jesus several time, understanding him to be claiming deity and he never corrected them.
 He accepted prayer, worship, forgave sins and gave life to the dead. Lastly we have it spelled out in Rev 19:13 that indeed he is the Word of God.

In order to make Christ out not to be divine one must rely on the false dilemma logical fallacy.  In the end, I think that all people who relay on adhere to and believe in Jesus will be saved regardless of their beliefs in this matter.
