I do understand if folks cannot grasp the totalitly of the GODHEAD .
However its blasphemy to remove scriptures . SO how come i see a group
that purposefully removed THE to A , removed GOD to a god . Because i do understand
if one d oes not at first grasp the concept of HOW this is possible .
BUT TO PURPOSEFULLY change scripture WAS A FAT LIE And TOTAL blasphemy .
There is no truth to your accusations Amigo....no one removed or changed anything.....what we did was correct something that was there all along in the Greek....incorrectly translated into English way back, in order to support a doctrine that didn’t become “church” doctrine until hundreds of years after Christ’s death.
What most people do not understand when reading John 1:1 in English, is that it doesn’t say that in Greek.
Do you want to perpetuate an ancient lie, or would you rather investigate an inconvenient truth?
SO if f olks do not understand it , SIMPLY STILL BELIEVE what is written . BUT DONT JW remove it to your own destrution .
And there you have the reason why this doctrine is still “believed” by those who simply swallow what is fed to them without allowing the real facts to speak for themselves. These facts have been hidden for centuries, but in these last days, have been revealed before God, (Yahweh/Jehovah) brings the curtain down on satan’s entire world system. You can see what is coming, but can you look back and see where the rot began?
Guess what i seem to notice about all the false religoins
Not a one of them BELEIVES the WORD became flesh or was G OD .
Can we examine the verse in question, that created this doctrine in its original language? Because for centuries, trinitarian bias in translation, has created a lie about the very nature of God, that is perpetuated to this day, and which will lead the majority to their destruction.....the devil will never allow God’s truth to be accepted by the masses, whom he has had completely under his control since time immemorial.
Look back in Bible history and realise that God’s people have always been a minority....never a majority. The devil has the majority, and his favourite tactic is mimicry.
Look back to the first century and see that Jesus and his disciples were a hated minority....did that make what they taught, wrong? Or was it that satan used the corrupted religious system back then to dissuade the majority from following him, and actually listening to his teachings? Prejudice is an ugly thing, and breeds iniquity. In Jesus’ case it led to murder.
So John 1:1 needs to be read and understood in the language of the day....
Here is the Mounce Interlinear translation...word for word....read it carefully...
“In
en the beginning
archē was
eimi the
ho Word
logos, and
kai the
ho Word
logos was
eimi with
pros ·
ho God
theos, and
kai the
ho Word
logos was
eimi God
theos.”
You will see the word “ho” means “the” so we have “ho logos” and “ho theos” plainly stated there....but with the second mention of “theos”, there is no definite article “ho”.
Since the Jews had stopped speaking the divine name, (Yahweh/Jehovah) in Greek (a culture with many gods, who all had names) the only way to identify this nameless God of the Jews was to call him “THE God”.....”ho theos”.
Examine the verse and see how many times “ho theos” is used, and when “theos” alone is used. These have two different meanings when God and his son are mentioned in the same verse. They are differentiated because Jesus is never once called “ho theos”. Which means that in Greek, Jesus is never called Yahweh/Jehovah, “God” with a capital “G”.
Correctly translated John 1:1 should read....
“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with Yahweh and the Word was divine”.
Once you understand that ignoring that very little word (hardly noticed by those who have been indoctrinated with trinitarian theology) changes the entire meaning of the verse, you can then see other verses where it is also ignored or mistranslated. (John 10:31-36 in Greek is a case in point)
It also explains how the Son can be “with” his Father, and has been from his beginning. (Col 1:15; Rev 3:14)
God is an immortal, eternal Being who had no “beginning”.
It is the Word (theos) who became flesh, not “ho theos”.
Rendering “theos” as “a god” is also correct, not because Jesus is some kind of lesser God, but because of his divine origins....it simply means that he was God-like...and who can deny that?
The word “theos” in Greek can mean any god, goddess or divine personage, as Jesus demonstrated in John 10:31-36, where he pointed out that God himself called human judges “gods” (theos) meaning that they were divinely appointed to act on God’s behalf.
“Theos” isn’t another word for Yahweh...it is a general term for divine beings or those appointed by God for a specific purpose.
Satan is called “theos” in 2 Cor 4:4, so we know that it doesn’t just mean Yahweh.
Did you know the major problem ISLAM has with christanity.
THEY TOO PREACH quite adamantely JESUS was not GOD , In fact HE was not even THE SON of GOD .
You wanna know why this push to remove the diety of CHRIST
came upon the protestant realm , as of late . cause they DESIRED TO MERGE the religoins
and so OUR JESUS had to b ecome more like the jesus islam knows . OOOPS .
And guess from whence this sprang , IN LARGE from the vatican , the RCC .
aint that something .
It’s a shame that you recognize so clearly the role of the RCC in the corrupting of the Christian Faith, but it isn’t a recent thing.......the corruption goes way back...so if you fail to remove their primary doctrines from your beliefs.....the trinity, immortality of the soul, and hellfire are a corruption of everything Jesus taught about the nature of his Father and their relationship, as well as the resurrection.....which is a return to life, not a continuation of it. The dead do not go on living. They “sleep” unconsciously in death, as the Scriptures clearly state. (Ecco 9:5, 10; John 11:11-14)
Hellfire is devilish.....and paints God as cruel and sadistic....he has no reason to keep the wicked alive only to torture them in flames forever.....death was the highest penalty one could pay for any crime committed in Israel....the incorrigibly wicked will simply not be included in the resurrection that Jesus himself will conduct. (John 5:28-29) The “hell” that Jesus spoke about was “Gehenna” which to his Jewish audience meant no resurrection.....eternal death.
If only people would undertake a study of the Bible, rather than the distorted picture that is painted by the multitude of church systems....which bear no resemblance to God’s truth, at all.
Those who know how the devil works will not be taken in by his deceptions any longer....in these last days, God will “draw” them to his truth (John 6:44; 65)....he wants quality not quantity....which is why “few” will be found on the road to life....(Matt 7:13-14; 21-23) Be aware of the danger in holding a majority view. The majority will be found on the wrong road....blissfully ignorant of their destination....shocked at Jesus’ complete rejection as those he “never knew”.
Its time to wake up.....
