The term "Godhead" is an English variant of the word "godhood" and was first introduced by John Wycliffe (1330-1384 C.E.) in English Bible versions as
godhede.
The word "Godhead" is a interpretation of three different Greek words,
theion (meaning "divinity, deity", # 2304 in Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament) at Acts 17:29,
theiotēs (meaning "divinity, divine nature", # 2305 in Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament) at Romans 1:20, and
theotēs (meaning "deity", # 2320 in Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament) at Colossians 2:9.
Theion means "Divine Eternal."
Theiotes means "Divine Nature."
Theotes means "Divinity."
To translate three different Greek words as one word and deviously incorrect at that in the
King James Bible, is no different than translating in the
King James Bible, the Hebrew word
she’ol´ with three different English words of "hell" (10 times), "grave" (31 times), and "pit" (3 times).
This is not unlike having three different names for one street on a map (with the real name hidden), so that when a person used it, he wound up lost. Likewise of those who read Bibles with "Godhead" in it, thereby misleading a person that the trinity is "real".
Hence, the need for an accurate Bible, one that renders Hebrew and Greek words and phrases with a high degree of precision, just as a map that can be counted on to provide exact information. Unfortunately, many Bibles follow the lead of the
King James Bible, or is otherwise biased, because the trinity, along with a host of other religious teachings that are not true, that has such a strangle hold on so many.
KJV
Acts 17:29
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the
Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and
Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Colossians 2:9
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the
Godhead bodily.
