"Other translators" - that's a laugh. We know of whom you speak and such a
reference holds zero credibility with Christians.
Wiggle out of this one: If you insist that the presence or absence of a
preposition, in this case when applied to the Godhood of Christ, is
significant, consider that Thomas, in the very same book, calls Christ "ho
theos."
John 20:28 - Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" - "ho kurios mou kai
ho theos mou."
There it is, Christ is called "ho theos." You will of course, attempt to
claim that Thomas was just exclaiming to God the Father. Unfortunately,
that would nullify the statement that he said it * TO* Christ. It would
also make Thomas a blasphemer because he would have been taking the name of
the Lord in vain. It would have been the ancient equivalent of someone
today seeing something really interesting and going "Jesus Christ, that's
amazing!".
So, which is it - is Christ "*The* God" or is Thomas a blasphemer?
