The other spots all who know God, know who is being spoken of so there was no need to use Ho Theos in those spots. The Fact is--Only The Father is called Ho Theos in the NT.

....... and I think we are in agreement, the God of this 'Age', the most popular of all the gods, surely not referenced as "Ho Theos".

Reminds me of the book of Kings...... when the fighting was just about all over, they found the writings they did not know existed, and in it, it proved they were ....... worshipping/following the wrong God.

How would they know about such things if they weren't told......

he world is being told in over 1300 languages. Most will not believe because they were handed down errors from centuries ago and do not check into facts. Plus many of their family members would reject them Matthew 10:35, because they become no part of this world and are different, unaccepted, thus rejected and hated.

1300 languages is impressive but there are some places where the people have no idea about Christianity let alone what Jesus taught as "Good News".

One 'funny' situation I used to go and watch in a predominate Buddhist country was a group of people, who I believe where "Born Agains", who would sit up 'shop' every evening on a street corner in a Muslim section of the city and begin preaching from a real wooden box crate. They would talk and talk and when the speaker became 'hoarse' from talking, the speaker would step down from the wooden box crate and another person would take their place. I think I was the only person that listened to them and I personally could not unravel exactly what they were saying.

I had to give them credit for effort.

I dont know where that would be. 1300 languages looks like the world is covered well.
