Hi and I was reading a Greek manuel by a known Greek scholar , Mounce and the Greek text has John 1:1 limke this !!
KAI THEOS NV O LOGOS !
and God was the Word !!
The Greek Article THE is used and that means that the LOGOS is God !!
Mounce (and every other NT scholar) sees that the NT text is "KAI THEOS EN HO LOGOS." And the definite article ('HO') is with 'LOGOS' ('Word') but not with 'THEOS' ('god')!
Since John always uses 'HO' ('the') with 'THEOS' when it means 'God,' and he doesn't use it here, 'a god' not 'the god' ('God')is indicated. See my earlier posts on this link.
