What does the word "GOD" mean?
Matthew 19:17
And behold one came and asked him Good Master what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? And he said to him Why do you call me good? There is none good but one, that is THE GOD
Comments: Matthew 19:17 POINT OF INTEREST: According to the editor of the “Scripture for all Greek Interlinear,” the word theos, when referencing the Almighty and translated as God, means “Placer.” One who places.
Consider the possibilities and depths of meaning, but at its most basic, the word God, as translated from the Greek and referencing Yahweh—Jehovah God—The Godhead—can literally be translated as The Creator.

Note from the editor: I read my Bible every day, always picking up today where I left off yesterday. I call this my “on-track” Bible reading. I have been doing this for over 44 years. It was the best advice I was ever given, and it changed my life. If you are not presently doing the same, I invite you to join me. How much you read on a daily basis isn’t important. It only matters that you read, feeding your spirit with a prayerful dose of the living and powerful Word of God.
