John 1:1, the word was "a god."

[onewithhim]

Does anyone here have the list of Bible versions that say of John 1:1c "the word was a god"? I know there are several.

Way back in the day copyists copied the Scriptures carefully, word-for-word. Yet there was just as much of a chance of being corrupted by a copyist then as with the more recent texts.

And that proves my point that its advantageous to rely on older manuscripts, especially when recent scholarship decide to label it as the original wordings like the P66 and P75, results of their exhaustive study.

That doesn't prove your point. I said that there is as much of a chance of being corrupted in the earlier mss as the more recent ones. When was John 8:58 changed to "before Abraham was I Am" from "before Abraham I have been"? Was that in the old mss or new ones?

These are the Bible translations that aims to maintain the highest degree of accuracy to original languages based on older manuscripts and others through exhaustive study. If you see Strong numbers in each word, it means it is from the original wordings of Greek or Hebrew.
And it proves that the original Bible word is "I am". (Not I have been) Paraphrased always changed it when it is about Jesus, Arians heavy used of thought for thought translations.

I beg to differ. Jesus wouldn't have used such sloppy Greek. He clearly said "I have been." There is no paraphrasing there except in your version of "I Am." You condemn paraphrasing and yet your examples are rife with it.

You beg to differ but nothing to counter those verses below with Strong Concordance, quoted from word for word Bible translations.
