    John seemed to be saying that whatever the Father is that makes Him God, Jesus has that same "stuff", and the 2 of them are both God, and not the same person though!

    yet other than the JW, no reputable Greek scholar calls Jesus a god!

    Bottom line, David Hart's translation seems less than sound. First, the premise that a concept cannot be translated is fiction. It might take more than a word or phrase, but no one should buy a pig in a poke, the bogus "trust me, only Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic readers can grasp the inspired message of God. Pure twaddle.

    Wouldn't you say they all are though, in one place or another? I mean, except the Van Tran of course.

    No quote will be forthcoming, these posters of smears hinder any biblical discussion. Certainly questionable translation choices can be found in modern translations. But Mr. Hart alters the text to present his interpretation. And he should have rendered "god" as "God" then footnoted his view that this truth was not yet revealed, and so the inspired intent might have been "god." Utterly bogus but at least a footnote error would not call into question his whole effort.
