Bible Question (short): Dear Forum, can you verify my research? |
Question (full): I put this on display for Forum critique: Per the Strong's Concordance at http://www.sacrednamebible.com/kjvstrongs/index2.htm: ho (the) logos (word) en (was) pros (with) tou (his) theos (God) kai (and) theos (god[ly] en (was) ho (the) logos (word). Theos: a deity, especially (with 3588) the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very:--X exceeding, God, god(-ly, -ward). The Greek 3588 referred to is "ho". "Tou" is the genitive of "ho". The first "theos" is THE God, his (Jesus' God). The "logos" is THE Word, but not THE God, rather as indicated in Strong's dictionary of the original Greek, god or godly. |
