The term “Godhead” is used three times in the King James Version of the Bible, and means “the very essence or complete nature and attributes” of God … not just one of them or some of them … but ALL of them.

The three Greek words that were translated “Godhead” are:

The Greek word “theios”

– Strong’s # 2304

The Greek word “theiotes” – Strong’s # 2305

The Greek word “theotes” – Strong’s # 2320

The verses were the words are found are as follows ….

Acts 17:29

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

Romans 1:20

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 (theiotes); so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:9

For in him (Christ) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead (theotes) bodily.

Now, let’s run back through these verses again and see what they would look like by replacing the word “Godhead” with the words, “very essence or complete nature and attributes” of God (which is what the “Godhead” is):

Acts 17:29

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that his (“very essence or complete nature and attributes”) is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

Romans 1:20

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 (“very essence or complete nature and attributes;”) so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:9

For in him (Christ) dwelleth all the fullness of the (“very essence or complete nature and attributes” – of God) bodily.
