oh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
qeon vs qeos In greek the words used for God in this verse are not the same. One means lesser god and the other means God as in Jehovah. Here is another way of putting it.
When the Apostle John wrote
John 1:1, he used two forms of the Greek word for God. This is a very important point, when translating the verse into English. There's
"θεον" (qeon) and there's also
"θεος" (qeos).
Even to an untrained eye, it's clear that the final letter of the word is different. Yet, most modern English translations simply translate both forms as "God", even though there's a slightly different meaning. The only real linguistic difference between the two forms, is that 'qeos' is accusative and is 'qeon' nominative.
Curiously, the form
'qeos' is also used at
2 Corinthians 4:4 in reference to Satan. Yet, that isn't translated into English as "God", but as "god". So that raises the question why do they translate it with a capital G in John, and a lower case G in 2 Corinthians?
Shouldn't it be translated the same way in both cases, even though one refers to Satan and the other to Jesus? If Jesus gets a capital "G" with that word, then Satan should too.
It is a clear case of mistranslation.
Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
Notice all things came to be,
through him not
by him.
Joh 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
Joh 1:5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Joh 1:6 There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Joh 1:7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
Joh 1:8 He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
Joh 1:9 There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
Joh 1:11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
And
CO-HEIRS with him, a son. (sons or daughters receive an inheritance, you cannot be your own heir)
Joh 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Joh 1:15 John *testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'"

All these other verses are in agreement that Jesus is God son.
