Bible Note: Greetings Tara! May I take a stab at your questions? 1) First of all, Acts 28:6 is not the same grammatical construction as John 1:1! There are two differences. Acts 28:6 is not an example of a predicate nominative. Secondly, Acts 28:6 is not a statement of fact, but of opinion. The people thought Paul was one of many of the false gods in which they believed. Acts 28:6 is not a statement that Paul was in fact God. John 1:1 is a statement of fact, not opinion. 2) Secondly, the 'scholars' you list are not well known scholars. I have been studying Greek for many years now and I have not heard of any of them. I can also quote you many well known scholars who say that the Greek of John 1:1 clearly identifies Jesus as being fully God, not 'a god'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
