John 1:1 is a mistranslation in most modern Bibles.

They break a rule of Greek grammar there. They say othe Word was Godo.
Not correct! Which is why many people are confused, such as they read
Luke 18:19 then see John 1:1. They totally contradict one another. So
what are the facts? What if I said:

There is Michael Jordan. Or,
There is the Michael Jordan.

Does adding otheo change anything?
Of course it does. And it is the same in the Greek language. Thus
Jesus is NOT God, but he is oa godo.

But there is no oao in the Greek language. However many Bibles add it
for clarity. Thus the early Coptic language renders it, othe Word was
a godo:

Other than the Jehovah's Witnesses Bible (NWT), here are some others:

"the Logos was divine." (MO);
"the Word was divine." (AT; SD);
"a god was the Word." (interlinear ED) ;
"the Word was a god" (NTIV).
"The Word was deity." (Simple English)

The Catholic Bible, New American Bible (NAB), says in a footnote on
John 1:1,

"Was God:lack of a definite article with "God" in Greek signifies
predication rather than identification".

Do the Catholic Scholars know their Greek? Many people believe so. Yet
they went for the Trinity and translated owas Godo. Oh well.

And the apostle John (who wrote John 1:1) near the end of his book at
John 20:31, mentions the final concluding comment about Jesus'
position as to God. He said that Jesus was the "Son of God", not 'God
the Son', nor 'God'.

Also read Luke 18:19.

The NWT is a LIE, systematically calculated to change what the Bible
says about important Bible teachings like the deity of Christ, the
eternal, conscious danger which awaits those who reject God's love and
mercy in Christ, etc.

Satan manipulated Satan's Witnesses to promote a false Bible and gospel
that claims you can be saved from eternal damnation while rejecting
God's love and mercy offered in Christ's atonement for our sins.

Satan wants men to experience conscious, eternal torment in hell, which
is why he manipulated Satan's Witness liars to try and brainwash people
with lies about the Bible and the gospel. Almost everything they say
about every important Bible teaching is a twisted lie.

The only true gospel that has power to save is that Christ died for our
sins and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9).
Every perverted gospel is false and drives souls to conscious, eternal
torment in the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:18;
Revelation 14:11; Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:11-15). If you deny
that Jesus is God, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

Our debt to God was nailed to the cross where Christ died for our sins (Colossians 2:14), and God demonstrated this fact by raising Him from
the grave (Romans 1:4). Now, God remains perfectly just while forgiving
those who put their faith in Jesus (Romans 3:26) and sparing them from
future wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10). It is a free gift for everyone who believes (Romans 6:23). Trust in the Lord and call on His name to
receive salvation (Romans 10:9-13):
