I don't see any links to this information that you cut and pasted...You do know that Ge'ez is a Semitic language, don't you?...

What do you know, look at this, a Greek translation of the Bohairic, Joh 1:1 ᾿Εν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος, καὶ ὁ Λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, καὶ Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος.
And G-d was the Word...
Yes, you are again making yourself look foolish. I never said anything about Greek in the post that apparently set you off on your high horse once again. Here again is the post you responded to which I posted to bbyrd, PLEASE LEARN TO READ:

Just an interesting tittlebit . . . :-)
Where did I say anything about Greek? Where did I translate any Greek? Where did I say anything about any modern translations of Greek? Where did I question any Greek translation of John 1:1 into English? You clearly read my words in the same exact way you read the scripture because you clearly only see what you want to see.

Oh, how cute...You're attempting to play mind games, awww....
Richard1965, it is you who began the attack, like you always do, seeking to establish your Authoritay, with your "you are wrong" crap, and don't think you are fooling anyone, ok. And trust that daqq will think i am Mr Hyde, if he does the same, because that is just the kinda guy i am, trust me. I will defend you as quick as him, push come to shove, ok?
your precious is being challenged, and you react, like any Apostate would, wadr.
Lol...ok...Sometimes you make no sense...I can hold my own...I am not trying to establish anything...It's DQ that comes here as a newby thinking to teach everyone instead of discussing and learning and growing...
Oh, how cute...You're attempting to play mind games, awww....
Mind games now? You appear to have no reading comprehension for as far as the eye can see. Everyone can see exactly what just happened: you thought you saw an opportunity to make someone you disagree with look stupid, (me), and jumped into oncoming traffic before you took the time to look both ways and actually read what was said. It is not mind games just because you opened your mouth and inserted your own foot into your mouth.

Oh, how cute, the jealousy of Cain as the boil in your forehead begins to fester, awww....

Like I said, how cute...You are the one that proffered that John 1:1 said that the word was a God and posted links which I read and found one to show that you were being dishonest...The comparison between Ge'ez and Greek, I can read Greek, and what you offered shows that it said in the Greek "And G-d was the word.", not at all what you were trying to sell...You are the one that seems to be ranting...You seem to live in a fantasy world where everything around you has biblical implications were there are none...Instead of trying to teach people what you think is the truth, why not involve yourself in a two way discussion and maybe you'll learn something...
ps, ironic that you came to my thread with this, huh? and just so you know, one word from an OP of another thread that i am blathering on, and i will leave it for good. A simple "Mark, do you mind?" is all it takes, k.
and for that matter, even if you are not the OP, and even if it is my thread, for that matter, if i am interrupting, please say something.
IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE BIBLE, AND THE BIBLE WAS WITH GOD, AND THE BIBLE WAS GOD.
and have a good day.
By your WORDS you'll be justified and by your WORDS you'll be condemned.
Anyone who hears my word and does not keep it I am not the one to condemn him for I did not come to condemn the world but to save it. Anyone who rejects me and does not accept my word he already has his judge,namely the words I have spoken that is what condemns him on the last day.
Walk in the light so you will live.
