Yes. I have read Hebrews 1 before. Thank you. What were you looking at specifically?

Why do you think Jesus is the creator in either John 1 or Col 1? The grammar doesn't necessitate that God and Jesus be the same person in the easy-to-read version's production of 2 Peter 1:1. If you will look at the very next verse, it's clear that they are not the same person. 2 Peter 1 2...

This verse is often misunderstood, quoted and/or cited by someone as a proof that Jesus is equal to the Spirit, but what does the local and remote context say? In 2 Corinthians 3, verse 3 refers to the "Spirit of the living God" therefore when the Spirit of the Lord is mentioned in verse 17...

I am here to discuss Scripture with other people so that I can learn new things and hopefully others learn things too. There is value in that. What you seem to be doing is using a stratagem in which you reference the same 5 or 6 verses repeatedly. We all have already read the verses you keep...

That would be begging the question. You're beginning with a reference to baptism and concluding it means something not stated in the Scripture. Do you see where a perceived Triune Godhead is neither mentioned or explained in the verse you referenced? You're beginning with a theology and then...

Translation: I can't refute your point about elohim referring to single individuals so keep changing the subject. When you are ready to get serious about this my door is open.

Whataboutisms don't address the topic.

Do you have a reply to what I just showed you?

Read this: Check out Exodus 7:1, Exodus 22:20, Judges 6:31, Judges 11:24, and 1 Samuel 5:7. Elohim can refer to single beings. Why elohim is a plural word and yet YHWH is clear about being a singular person who created alone is because elohim refers to intensification or amplification. That's...

We were talking about Genesis 1 before this. Hebrews 1 is not related to what we were talking about. What you're doing is essentially putting the cart in front of the horse.

I just hand walked you to the truth, having did all of the homework for you, and your reaction is to ignore everything I said and change the subject from the "us" regarding elohim in Genesis 1 to Hebrews 1? Not biting. If you want to stay on track then please answer what I said in my previous post.

Possibly a smear to discredit him or muddy the waters. Hard to say, but as far as I can tell there is nothing Valentinus said or taught in any of his surviving works.

Check out Exodus 7:1, Exodus 22:20, Judges 6:31, Judges 11:24, and 1 Samuel 5:7. Elohim can refer to single beings. Why elohim is a plural word and yet YHWH is clear about being a singular person who created alone is because elohim refers to intensification or amplification. That's why plural...

The Lord in Psalm 110:1, la·ḏō·nî as you rightly pointed out, refers to a human. This is one of those very rare words where there isn't a single exception to it being used of anyone other than humans in all of Scripture. The LORD speaking to the Lord in Psalm 110:1 is God speaking to the Son in...

There is good evidence that John 1 and Col 1 are being misunderstood. For example, in Acts 4:24-27, it's evident that John and Peter did not believe Jesus was involved in creation, by their prayer to God, the Creator of heaven and earth who is the Sovereign Lord. They only briefly mentioned...

I didn't mention all of the Gnostic writers. I don't believe in Gnosticism, but for all intents and purposes they were not Trinitarian. There is plenty of evidence they were right around there at the beginning of the early church.

God was clear He did it alone. Isaiah 44 24Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

Well, it's just as I said. Trinitarians don't hold a monopoly on their belief in the deity of Jesus. There is Oneness theology, there is Binitarianism, there is Modalism, there is Social Trinitarianism, and there are probably miscellaneous flavors of all of those and other theologies/schools of...

No it's not me. I might add, the author of that article promotes an idea that I don't agree with. The author actually believes Jesus is God, but not in the Trinitarian sense. He is most likely Oneness, but doesn't come right out and say it. His point is that church numbers are decreasing, i.e...

Gog and Magog doesn't seem to have happened. A lot of things don't seem to have happened, yet some things are said that suggest otherwise. Like Revelation 1:1 gives a sense of immanency about the things he talks about. It would follow that there should be an expectation of this happening within...
