"ho theos"
"ho theos"
As we all know, each verse must be taken in context and each time the Greek phrase "ho theos" is used it also must be understood according to the sentence wherein it is used. For example, in 2 Corinthians 4:4 Paul (speaking of Satan) said:
"...the god of this world hath blinded their minds..." (ho theos)
Obviously, here the Greek words ho theos do not refer to the God of heaven. Paul was speaking about the god OF THIS WORLD, not The Ruler of the universe.
In like manner, when Matthew spoke of Immanuel, the God WITH US, he spoke of Jesus, not the Father in heaven whom "no man has ever seen". Jesus was the God who came to be with (Greek - in the midst of) the people of Israel as opposed to the God who was not in the midst of the people of Israel. Think about it for a moment, if Jesus was the God with us, then the God He prayed to on the Cross was the God not with us.
If Matthew had said that Emmanuel was the name of "the God," and left it at that, then Jesus would be the God. However: Matthew did not say that Emmanuel was the name of the God.
He said that Emmanuel was the name of the God *with* us.
Again in John 20:28 we see that Thomas said about Jesus:
"And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
As was pointed out, the Greek text has the definite article with theos, but Thomas was not saying Jesus was "the God", rather he said Jesus was "the God of me" (literally "the God my")
Just as the words "with us" modify the term "the god" in the verse "Emmanule, the god with us". So does the word "my" modify the term "the god" when Thomas said Jesus was "the god my".
Jesus is our god, but Jesus also has a Ruler, His Father whom Jesus refers to as "my God".
John 20:17 "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to **my God,** and your God."

Listen, I know a cool online guide where you can find out everything about the Greek goddess Nike, click here. He talks about her divine powers, what she symbolizes, and what role she played in ancient mythology. There is a lot of interesting information there, both about her influence on the winners and about the spread of her cult. I advise you to look there to learn more about this amazing goddess.
