Should we translate John 1:1 as "And the word was divine (or a god)" to avoid trinitarian bias?

Will let these different Bibles answer your ???.

Here are a few example of translations that show Jesus was, "a god" or "god like" Please read the explaination of John 1:1 if you really want to know !!

According to these translations, the Word is not God himself. Instead, because of his high position among Jehovah’s creatures, the Word is referred to as “a god.” Here the term “god” means “mighty one.”

Prof. Felix Just, S.J. - Loyola Marymount University, "and god[-ly/-like] was the Word."

The Priest Arius of Alexandria during the 3rd century had translated the Gospel of St. John chapter 1 the same way even though it was not traditionally translated as such in which his translation was "and the Word was a god" from the orthodoxy translation "and the Word was God". The Orthodoxy Christians were the Trinitarians the Holy Trinity was formulated from Scripture during the 2nd century by the Church Fathers in accordance to the tradition of the Apostles that Jesus was God = Word was God. The Apostles didn't reject the Divinity of Jesus in fact He was worshiped by them as God. As for the Arian Christians they rejected the Divinity of Jesus or rather I should say played down the Divinity of Jesus to a point in which they denied that Jesus was God the exact opposit of the teachings of the Apostles. In fact the Arian Christians went as fare as altering the form of baptism to suite their beliefs in which latter on druing the 4th century wasn't recongized by the Orthodoxy Christians as being a valid Christian baptism. The Arian form of baptism:

"In the name of the uncreated God and in the name of the created Son, and in the name of the Sanctifying Spirit, procreated by the created Son"

it already says that in john 1:1

Nah. You can accept Jesus's divinity without trinitarianism, it's not a problem.

You have to compare that with Genesis "let us make man in OUR image)

Jesus is not the word ,He is the only one that has ever live the word
