Best Answer

Dios is both Spanish and Latin. The Bible was originally written in three languages, Hebrew and Aramaic for the Old Testament and Greek for the New Testament. So you will not find Dios in the original language of the Bible, but you would find it many times in a Latin Bible or a Spanish Bible.

I must differ-

The reference to

Dios is found in Acts of the Apostles, chapter 14:

verse 13.

"When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they

shouted in the lycaonian language, 'The gods have

come down to us in human form! ' Barnabas they

called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because

he was the chief speaker.

The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside

the city..."

From the Greek, we find the letters: Delta-IotaOmicron-

Sigma

Dios according to The Bible and the Analytical

Lexicon to the Greek New Testament means of

Zeus!

From the text, we find that the misguided

polytheists were ready to make sacrifice to two

human beings on the instigation of the priest from

the pagan temple of Zeus. The two apostles in their

admonition to the Greek view of G-d gave all the

glory to the Creator, the lord of the heavens and

earth.

"Friends, why are you doing this? We are mortals

just like you, and we bring you good news, that you

should turn from these worthless things to the living

G-d, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea

and all that is in them. In past generations he allowed

all the nations to follow their own ways; yet he has

not left himself without a witness in doing good giving

you rains from heavens and fruitful seasons,

and filling you with food and your hearts with joy."

It must be noted here that any reference to man

becoming G-d or G-d becoming man is not brought

up as a point of clarification at a time when this issue

of the divine nature of the Messiah should have been

taught if that was truly the message of salvation.

What we see is that the Living G-d is the focus and that idolatry as well as the pagan principle of G-d assuming human form is refuted. G-d did not

become a man so that He would lie nor die!
