    WORD OF GOD

    ...................................................................... Of most importance is the fact of what John called the Word. And my studies on the grammar (syntax) of John 1:1c as used by John prove that he intended "a god" there. If you refuse (or are unable) to read one of them...

    WORD OF GOD

    Are you really unable to understand it? Some of these trinitarian sources which admit that the Bible actually describes men who represent God (judges, Israelite kings, etc.) and God's angels as gods include: 1. Young's Analytical Concordance of the Bible, "Hints and Helps...," Eerdmans, 1978...

    WORD OF GOD

    ................................................................ The NIV Study Bible, Zondervan, 1985 clearly recognizes the truth about the lesser meaning of theos and elohim ('a god'): "In the language of the OT ... rulers and judges, as deputies of the heavenly King, could be given the...

    WORD OF GOD

    ............................................... "... the Bible actually describes men who represent God (judges, Israelite kings, etc.) and God's angels as gods..." You tell me: true gods or false gods? Or is that the only choice?

    WORD OF GOD

    Part Five John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): The above lessons show that word order (predicate noun before the verb as found in the NT Greek of John 1:1c) does not change the meaning to an understood article (“the”) as Colwell’s Rule suggests or to some nebulous ‘qualitative’ meaning as some other...

    WORD OF GOD

    Part Four John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): It’s been many years since I looked up all the clauses in John’s writing which had predicate nouns (also called predicate nominatives). Then I made a list of all of them which are parallel to John 1:1c (predicate noun coming before the verb). I didn’t...

    WORD OF GOD

    Part Three John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): But, you may ask, Isn’t there a significance to the reversed word order in the Greek (‘god was the word’) which is, in English, ‘the word was god.’? If you will examine a good NT interlinear, you will find that word order is basically meaningless. NT...

    WORD OF GOD

    Part Two: John 1:1 in NT Greek (cont.): The next step in finding John’s intended meaning of John 1:1c is to look up the meanings of theos in a good NT lexicon. Numerous Trinitarian scholars [see footnote] admit that this word was also used for angels, kings, and God-appointed men such as...

    WORD OF GOD

    .............................................. Is my link not working? I'll try another study of the same thing: how John intended theos to be understood at Jn 1:1c by examining all the places he has used the same grammar. Part One: John 1:1 in NT Greek: Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ...

    WORD OF GOD
