John 1:1 (ISV) says: In the beginning, the Word (logos) existed. The Word (logos) was with God (ho theos), and the Word (logos) was God (theos).

Four truths about Jesus:

1. Jesus was “in the beginning”—He was present at creation. Jesus had existed eternally with God.
2. Jesus created ALL things! Colossians 1:16 (He could not be a created being).
3. Jesus is the same as God in nature—He “was God.” (theos)
4. Jesus had glory that belongs (only) to God the Father! Phil. Jesus must be the same one God!

Let us shut down the argument about (ho theos) a definite article and (theos) without a definite article. Both words translate God! Example:

In reference to God (theos) is used without a definite article.



  • Luke 20:38 (ISV) He is not the God (theos) of the dead, but of the living, because he considers all people to be alive to him.” (No definite article)

In reference to Jesus (ho theos) is used with a definite article several times.



  • Matthew 1: 23 (ISV) “See, a virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,”[a) which means, “God (ho theos) with us.” (with a definite article).
  • Hebrews 1:8 (ISV) But about the Son He (God) says, “Your throne, O God (ho theos), is forever and ever, and the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter. (with a definite article).

If John wanted to teach us in John 1:1 that Jesus was godlike or divine, a god, he had an adjective (theios) that he could have used.
