    my understanding of the greek phrase "the theos of the aionas" in 2nd cor 4:4 is "Jehovah God" because there are no small gods in the greek grammar. If anybody has information to prove or disprove this idea please respond.

    Pardon?? Considering the New Testament term for God, theos, was wrested from a language which used it to refer to Zeus and his family, I don't understand your comment. What about the verse that quotes the Psalm: "I said You are gods"?
