You must use ancient Greek dictionary, not a concordance to some specific Bible translation.

Please, look up what a concordance is.
i think i will stick with strongs and common sense. your version makes no sense to anyone but you.

So use that common sense of yours.
Concordance is not a dictionary. Condordance to some textual work just records all occurances of the word and how it was translated in that textual work.

It is not any authority on if it can or should be translated that way. Dictionary is.

But ok, stick with it:

Strong's Concordance:
theos: God, a god
Original Word: θεός, οῦ, ὁ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine; Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: theos
Phonetic Spelling: (theh'-os)
Short Definition: God, a god
Definition: (a) God, (b) a god, generally.

your version makes no sense to anyone but you.
Oh please, do not lie so obviously.

If by "box" you mean "Bible", ok then. You should return to that "box" before you die.
Wow, you don't even know the meaning of the term " box thinker " I am not shocked ! Where did you go to school or did you skip out ?

And you tell me that you understand "deep proverbs" when you cant actually understand what I have written...

"Think out of a box" metaphor means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective.

Because Trinity is biblical, your "box thinker" actually means "thinker in the biblical boundaries".

Got it now?

There are those that think outside the bun. Got that from a Burger King commercial years ago. Thinking outside the box is old school.

The bible is not a box, what does the term box thinker mean ? A box thinker is someone who can not think out side of them self, a box thinker is someone who makes thing about self, a box is someone who believes they are always right in what they believe. And you complained because i won't tell what denomination I set under if any, so you don't know my beliefs at all, you ask repeatly, so won't I post my beliefs openly ? Because some one does post their beliefs, if it doesn't support what you believe, then you go in the attack mood.

Yes it's an old school term and a good one at that, what does mean as a whole ? It's a person who makes things more about self than anything else, in old school it's really called s self righteous mind but today, the self righteous mind set, is known as an entitlement mind set, which is very strong on here, why do you think Adam and Eve fell ? They made it about self ! Self has always been the problem throughout history and still is.

The problem is that your belief is not supported by the Bible. You can call it as you wish, but when you will post any nonsense or blasphemous thing, you can await more "attacks" from me.

And now, respond to verses so many times posted by Valiant and still ignored by all of you "Christ is not God" proponents.

Why do you think I would say Christ himself is not God ? Why would I say such a thing ?

my common sense tells me that if i found ancient greek dictionary, proved you wrong again, you would only change your story again. and if we had an ancient greek dictionary, what are you going to test with it? all NT complete books are 5-600 AD.

Well, you should try to prove me wrong at least once... then you can try to prove me wrong again.

All books of the NT were written in the 1st century.

You are another person who is the perfect example of what it means to try to attack any one who does not back your belief, you don't know who I am because I would not waste my time to tell you, why you don't know what I believe, you created a box where you dwell, can you put God in a box ? No ! So who's in the box with you ? No one, you are alone.
