What does "Godhead"
mean?
By Michael
A. H. Back
In many translations,
Colossians 2:9 reads, "The fullness of the Godhead
dwells in Him bodily."
What does that mean, the
"Godhead" dwells in him bodily?
Godhead originally meant
(at the time the KJV was translated) "that which is divine."
In Modern English, the Greek word translated "Godhead" in
the KJV would be better translated "absolute divinity."
So Colossians 2:9 should read:
"All the fullness of
absolute divinity dwells in him bodily."
What a bold, undeniable
statement about the deity of Jesus!
