@ewq1938 -- please remember, you have to bear in mind, that the actual inspired language was 1st century Greek (not 21st century modern English). Please acknowledge, yes?
John 1:1, following the Greek LXX OT convention, refers to the Person of The Father as "the God" (ton Theon), and the Person of the [Father's] Word as "Godly" (Theos):
Revelation 21:7 likewise refers to the incarnate Word [of the Father] Jesus Christ as "Theos" (Godly / Godlike / God by nature & essence)...but not by the term "ton Theos" (the God) reserved only for The Father:
Only The Father = "ton Theon" (the God)
I renew my challenge to the entire CF community -- exactly precisely zero times in the Greek OT or NT will anyone ever find The Father referred to as "Theos", or His Word or His Spirit referred to as "ton Theon".
If that is not true, post the screen capture from the Apostolic Bible Polyglot...
Only The Father = "ton Theon" (the God)
So far, I've posted screen captures from two verses. I'm up 2-0.
But I don't have special access to the ABP, and anyone anywhere is welcome to investigate and try to find counter-examples...
for which I'm (still) waiting...
Meanwhile, in case anyone is counting...
"ton Theon" (tau omicron nu Theta epsilon omicron nu) and "Theos" (Theta epsilon omicron sigma) differ by more Greek letters (4) than they have shared in common (3)...
different phrases / words / letters signify different things
please acknowledge? Similar doesn't mean exactly precisely the same, yes?
