I already explained it, why repeat your post as if I did not answer?

When Jesus uses me to convert one to him. I have them call a fellow Christian to share their testimony. But, when a testimony is unreal, outragious, we must evaluate it honestly. Especially if it published in a book format. I am not talking about the everyday praise report.

Translating Monogenês There are two significant difficulties the translator must resolve when rendering monogenês in English: What does the word mean and does it function as an adjective or as a noun? The first difficulty is complicated by a long tradition of translating monogenês as...

Only Son or Only God? The initial problem is a textual one. Of the thousands of early Greek New Testament manuscripts, there are four principal textual variants of this phrase. We first need to establish which variant we believe represents the original text, then move from there into possible...

Daniel B. Wallace In his intermediate Greek grammar, Wallace accepts Harner's definition of the qualitative semantic force, and provides a number of examples outside of John 1:1. Wallace, like Harner, advocates qualitativeness as a separate semantic category, either coexisting alongside...

Paul Dixon Dixon's study is the first of several to challenge the popular application of Colwell's rule. Dixon notes that Colwell's data begins with definite PNs and demonstrates that these usually lack the article. However, those using the rule to "prove" that THEOS in John 1:1c is definite...

So, Harner, in agreement with Robertson, Dana & Mantey, and most other scholars cited above, notes that if both THEOS and LOGOS were articular, the two terms would be convertible. Since John did not use this syntax, his intended meaning must be something else. Harner continues: Thus, Harner...
