Therefore: this idea that when 'ho' or 'ton' is used in front of the word 'theo,' is only used in reference to the Father and never to the Son Jesus is just not scriptural.

The reality is this, if John had place the definite article 'ho' or 'ton' infront of the second occurrence of the word 'theos,' (in John 1:1). Then he would be teaching Sabellianism, and in so doing, he would also be contradicting himself in the same verse, because he used the word 'pros' [with], which means; the Word was INDEPENDENT of, face to face communion WITH the first 'theos' that the Word was along side. Notice: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with [the] God, and the Word was [the] God. |

Further proof that the nature of Jesus before he came to this earth was that of 'theos' [God] or [deity]. In Philippians 2:5-6 we see the Apostle Paul backing up and confirming what the Apostle John wrote.

Philippians 2:5 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. |

What was the mind of Christ that the Apostle Paul was exploring the Philippians to have? The context shows, that it is a mind of humility, to esteem others better than oneself (verse 1-4). Then, he demonstrates or he showed the humility of Jesus Christ. In the next two verses.
