    "The word was a god"?

    I’m interested enough in what the Bible says to not misrepresent the truth which is that not all translators agree with you. I’m also interested enough to see a clear pattern of corruption in trinitarian translation.

    "The word was a god"?

    I am aware that most translations read “Your throne O God.” But like I said not all do. Right within your Biblehub list you linked is this translation. Mace New Testament “but to the son he saith, "God is thy throne for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of equity.” 2 more...

    "The word was a god"?

    I don’t know Koine Greek. All I can do is examine and compare translations. Hebrews 1:8 is rendered “God is your throne” by some trinitarian translators. That seems to be the case with many verses used to support the trinity. I can’t find any disagreement about Deuteronomy 6:4 (except most...

    "The word was a god"?

    Why did you skip Hebrews 1:9? “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

    Non-Trinitarians, Please Answer This

    You seem to be seeing the throne in Revelation 22 as a literal elaborate chair that God sits on. Do you think that the Creator actually has a body like ours that would sit in any kind of chair? Is there also a literal river in heaven with literal trees lining it? What kind of fruit grows in...

    "The word was a god"?

    James Moffatt's New Translation of the Bible and Smith-Goodspeed's An American Translation both say that the Word "was divine." The translations by Boehmer, Stage, and Menge all say the Word was "of divine being." John J. McKenzie, S. J., writes in his Dictionary of the Bible: "Jn 1:1 should...

    "The word was a god"?

    As has been shown, even Greek scholars disagree on the grammar of John 1:1. There are trinitarian translators who feel the absence of the definite article before Theos in John 1:1c distinguishes it from the previous usage that has the definite article. This leaves John 1:1 as just another...

    "The word was a god"?

    Aunty Jane explained what you need to know about the difference between The Theos and Theos. That difference is shown in these 2 translations. James Moffatt New Testament "THE Logos existed in the very beginning, the Logos was with God, the Logos was divine." Goodspeed New Testament "In the...

    "The word was a god"?

    You are so certain what Paul wrote. Do you have an original manuscript of 1 Corinthians? If he was quoting the Hebrew he would have used the Tetragrammaton. Even if he was quoting the Septuagint, in his time it would have used the Tetragrammaton. It was later when the church replaced the...

    We told him to stop

    When do you think the 1,000 year reign began and ended? Do you think that death and the grave have been done away with? When did the war of Armageddon happen? When did we see the fulfillment of Revelation 21:1-4? As to “shortly” remember 1 day to God is 1,000 years. It’s been less than 2 days...

    We told him to stop

    Why do you think Revelation 20 has already been fulfilled?

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    That is similar to claiming that “us” in “let us make man” somehow means 3 and that the three are coequal and coeternal. Quite a stretch.

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Agreed. Greek philosophy included Syncretism, the merging of multiple religions. Alexander the Great tried to unify the various religions in his empire to promote peace. Triune gods are common in history among the Egyptians, Babylonians, Hindus and Buddhists. Those who worship the Father...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Rich What are your thoughts on the origins of the trinity and how it was introduced into Christianity?

    Divinity of Jesus!

    There is no indication in the account that Peter assigned James to run that meeting. It must be one of your many human traditions that tell you that. You certainly are all in on the Catholic Church. I’ll acknowledge that.

    Divinity of Jesus!

    In Acts 15, Peter gave his testimony when the elders and apostles met about circumcision, but it was James who expressed the decision. “After they finished speaking, James replied: “Men, brothers, hear me. 14 Symʹe·on has related thoroughly how God for the first time turned his attention to...

    Satan was right? Egads!

    Thanks for your comments. A couple points: A) King David was repentant. He both deeply regretted his sin and stopped doing it. God is very willing to do the same for those who decide to live in harmony with what Jesus taught us to pray for: “Hallowed (make holy, sanctify) be thy name.” B) The...

    Satan was right? Egads!

    We agree on many things. I completely agree making Jesus God minimizes what they both did. I can’t agree with you that those who fail to sanctify God’s name, who support its replacement in His own Word, those who accept and promote elevating Jesus to a trinity, those who believe that Jehovah...

    Satan was right? Egads!

    How does John 1:1 show the Logos to be eternal. God has no beginning. The beginning that John refers to is the beginning at Genesis 1:1, the beginning of the heavens and the earth. The Logos was not God there, he was “with” God. God created all things through him. He didn’t create on his own...

    Satan was right? Egads!

    Rich, the end of Romans 9 has Paul referring to the Jews who were stumbled over Jesus Christ. If they rejected Jesus, how could they be part of the Christian congregation? Their zeal for God was not only inaccurate but also wrongly motivated as they were only concerned about their righteousness...
