Trinity DebateWhat about John 1:1?Let me also add to this debate the fact that the Greek word theos doesn't necessarily mean god. It can also carry the meaning of magistrate (when accompanied by the definite article it does mean god). John 1:1 could thus be translated: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a magistrate. If this seems a strange reading then keep in mind that is called King many many times, we're told he has a kingdom, and he himself always places himself in a subservient position to god. Sounds not like a god but like a magistrate. IIRC, Satan is also called a god, but the word used is theos. No Christian thinks Satan is god. In this verse the word theos is interpreted as magistrate instead of god. |
