So, the article missing before god in John 1:1c means it was YHVH? Just wondering, I don't believe so, yet.

What is your purpose in shooting down the New World Translation? It is fine in its attempt to put the Divine Name where it belongs and also where it most likely belongs. In fact, it is the only scholarly work where the Divine Name is put back into the Christian Greek Scriptures. And you admit yourself that it should be in there over 100 times. What do you get from criticizIng the NWT?

I think it should be said, too, that when a name or title HAS the definite article, that person or thing is THE ONLY ONE. Like "the Nicodemus." That Nicodemus is the only Nicodemus that is the Nicodemus mentioned. "The god" is the only one. It is not like the next "god" that has no article, either.

There is strong evidence that the Divine Name was in the Septuagint version that Jesus and his disciples used.

There is a fragment, kept in Cairo, from the first century B.C. which was available in Jesus' day and which includes the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) throughout the New Testament.
