Godhead

[Steven Avery]

Acts 17:29 (AV)
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God,
we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone,
graven by art and man's device.

Romans 1:20 (AV)
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made,
even his eternal power and Godhead;
so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:9 (AV)
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Colossians 2:9. Scholars often disagree with each other; what one affirms another denies. But of the three words used, there are some who affirm that each of the Greek words used has the meaning of "godhead".
Concerning the first example of Acts 17:29 "the Godhead" KJB and many others, τὸ θεῖον εἶναι ὅμοιον. Bauer, Arndt and Gingrich Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament 1957 list this word on page 354 and reference Acts 17:29. They define it as: 1. of the godhead and everything that belongs to it.
Concerning the Greek word used in Romans 1:20 θειότης,

(e.g. the KJV translates about 3 different Greek words as "Godhead" none of those words translating to "God" which is synonymous with Godhead),

Nonsense.
The three words are only slightly different.

You can say that Godhead is "the nature of God" but it is not the word "God" directly.
"Godhood" would be the slightly archaic form.

Surprisingly, Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1851-1921) is pretty decent on this
(the Trinity references are not really significant).

The fundamental meaning of "Godhead" is, nevertheless, no less than that of "Godhood," the state, dignity, condition, quality, of a god, or, as monotheists would say, of God. As manhood is that which makes a man a man, and childhood that which makes a child a child, so Godhead is that which makes God, God. When we ascribe Godhead to a being, therefore, we affirm that all that enters into the idea of God belongs to Him. "Godhead" is thus the Saxon equivalent of the Latin "Divinity," or, as it is now becoming more usual to say, "Deity."
