For the few places it is used in the New Testiment I wanted a greater understanding of just what it means. i.e. from the Greek and in context of scripture. Here is my first attempt of understanding. Godhead1) a general name of deities or divinities as used by the Greeks 2) spoken of the only and true God, trinity a) of Christb) Holy Spiritc) the Fatherwww.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/words/2/1151081922-7684.htmlPerhaps Rob, Greg or others might have some input to help.

I was asking for valid interpretations based on translations in context. (exegesis). It seems to me you are the same poster who continues to post nonsense on many threads. Your style is showing and so is your purpose. If you just want to cause trouble just move on.

I am not a crowd follower in my beliefs, and I have studied that trinity doc. enough to understand that on its own, it would never have held up, YOU can thank the Romans that killed off those that weren't buying into it. Good to see you are still kicking, even so.

Good to see you are still kicking, even so. " am not a crowd follower in my beliefs, and I have studied that trinity doc." How did you jump from my original post to TRINITY? I was asking for proper interpretations of the use of the word GODHEAD in context of the following? 1. Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. Acts 17:28-30 (in Context) Acts 17 (Whole Chapter) 2. Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Romans 1:19-21 (in Context) Romans 1 (Whole Chapter) 3. Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2:8-10 (in Context) Colossians 2 (Whole Chapter) Sorry but you seem to ramble on and on with no real point. You are not waking anyone up. You are boring since you cannot stay on track with any thread. However, you have made a slip in that you equate Godhead with Trinity. So then either you just want to argue or just inject useless bantor. I will not engage usless bantor nor do I intend on arguing with such. If you have any serious study to add on theios {thi'-os}
please feel free, but do not expect any more replies when you really don't understand the issues at all. I don't think you have studied anything. Have a nice day.

How exactly is it a "jump" to the concept of trinity when your original post lists the trinity in reference to the Godhead? And how is one to know "the following context" that you wish studied until you provide it?

Mrleo and others.
OK, Yes is see how one jumps from Godhead to Trinity based on my original post. What I was asking or looking for were definitions and/or interpretations of meaning for the few places it is used in scripture.
For the few places it is used in the New Testament I wanted a greater understanding of just what it means? i.e. from the Greek and in context of scripture.
I was searching sources and really did not come up with any good example of what that word "Godhead" means as it relates to how it is used in the following.
1. Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. Acts 17:28-30 (in Context) Acts 17 (Whole Chapter)
2. Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Romans 1:19-21 (in Context) Romans 1 (Whole Chapter)
3. Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2:8-10 (in Context) Colossians 2 (Whole Chapter)
Yes, I think I know what it means but I am looking for references of translation from the Greek. And also if there are references as to context of how and why it was used in original greek.
My post reference was from the Blue Letter Bible which I gave a link to. I posted in short what that said. I would like to know if there are any other sources? I find very little as to the exact meanings of Godhead as used in those verses. Many an author have written what they think it means. I am searching out translation meanings.
In the short of it I would like to know in what context that "Godhead" word originated such that it was used in the Bible and these verses.
I hope this helps you understand what I am trying to achieve here by this post. I apologize for jumping the gun with a negative repines.
