One Missing Word Changes the Entire Gospel of John (Dan McClellan and Dan Beecher; Data Over Dogma podcast on YouTube)
When is God not actually God? Buckle up, because in this episode we're letting linguistic nerdom take us on a fascinating journey. There are instances in the old Greek manuscripts where the word for God isn't presented in the same way as others. Could something as simple as the lack of a definite article ("the") actually change what the biblical authors were talking about entirely? If so, what implications does that have on several passages of the Bible?
