Who's the antecedent of His in this text. God or Jesus?
1In the beginning the Living Expression was already there. And the Living Expression was with God, yet fully God. 2They were together—face-to-face, in the very beginning. 3And through his creative inspiration this Living Expression made all things, for nothing has existence apart from him. John 1:1-3 TPT.

The antecedent of "his" is the "Living Expression", grammatically speaking. That "his" is a type of pronoun technically called a cataphoric pronoun because its antecedent comes after it. I am tickled that this attempt at a "version" of the Last Gospel makes no more sense than the KJV.
