It is a sad day for the whole Church of Christ, but as what Bro. Erano Manalo, Ka Erdy always quote "To live is Christ, to die is gain". Truly, he lived a life in Christ and spending all of it in the service of God. His memories will stay in our hearts until we meet the Lord.
than one God. If that were the case, you would have to burn the OT and the NT because both are teaching there is only ONE God...not a god and another god. This is the MOST important reason why saying it could mean "a god" is not only wrong, it is devilish.
The second reason is Greek grammar. I explained that somewhere else in more detail. Also, the original Greek is even more clear, it says : "God was the Word." A god was the word???? Comon.
