Sir, I have offered a full lexicon study, at your disposal now, of the use of theos. Me and many others have presented coherent arguments and posed questions that go unanswered. Perhaps you and I today in the 21st century, and alas in the 20th as well may say “My God” when we are surprised, overjoyed or in the case of my dear father when he accidentally hammered his thumb instead of a nail. However, in 1st Century Judea and Galilee, no way did observant Jews blurt “My God!” especially having first said “My Lord” and then “My God.” Perhaps if you have another NT example of someone getting surprised and using “theos” to express the emotion would help you. Keep searching.

Again, the lexicon provided for “theos” has a very limited array of terms to choose from. Take a look at that post again and choose one, come back and let me know why you chose what you did.

you see..you are not my teacher nor boss..I don’t go by your rules or demands, nor questions. I made a factual statement about the overall comparative scriptures that clearly demonstrate the son of God, not God...and you write to me some snooty comment and direction from a previous smaller point...and ignore the FACT that you just lost the entire argument.
