Bible Question:
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. |
Bible Answer: Survivor - you have been asked repeatedly by different Forum members to declare yourself openly. Please respond to this re-post of #133165 Survivor: You could make life on the Forum much easier for yourself and the rest of us if you would merely answer the question that has been asked of you: Are you a Jehovah's Witness? And to see something about you in your user profile would also be nice. Cordially, --Hank I too would like an answer to this question. Thanks, mommapbs |
