ALTER2EGO-to- AXEHEAD: Are you sure you want to use Hebrews 5:8 as proof of Trinity? Look at the context (the surrounding words). It's say Jesus was obedient to God the Father. That indicates the Son is inferior to the Father. Not only that, Hebrews 5:8 is reminding us that Jesus Christ...

ALTER2EGO to MARK S: What's the point of this verse? I don't get it. Please explain, as nothing therein suggests Trinity. It's simply saying that the Father (YHWH/Jehovah/Yahweh) and the Son (Jesus Christ) know each other well. The opening statement: "All things are delivered unto me of my...

ALTER2EGO -to- DRAGONFLY: You are cherry picking words and ignoring everything else (the surrounding words/the context) in all of the verses quoted above. Look at the context that I highlighted in blue. Then look at my explanation below. 1. Jeremiah 7:11 is a direct quotation of a prophecy...

ALTER2EGO to MARK S & DRAGONFLY: Look at the context (the surrounding words): "his name shall be called". Everything else after those introductory words "his name shall be called" are titles. Furthermore, the opening words to that verse of scripture are the biggest clue: "For unto us a child...

ALTER2EGO to MARK S: Continuing with the wall of scriptures you gave me at Post #9, look at the context (the surrounding words): "shall call his name". That's the red flag that this is nothing more than a name. In the Bible, all names had meaning back in those days. For instance, the name...

ALTER2EGO -to- MARK S.: No, it's not simple. You are ignoring context and cherry picking words that satisfy what you've chosen to believe. Thomas was not worshipping Jesus; therefore by default, Jesus was not accepting worship and blaspheming. If anything, Thomas bowed down before Jesus, which...

ALTER2EGO -to- MARK S: I haven't been on the forum for a couple days, and so today I will continue addressing the scriptures you posted to me at Post #9, which you feel are proof that God is a Trinity. Notice the three scriptures above from your list that you are using to support your belief...

ALTER2EGO -to- MARK S.: You are good at making cliche statements, such as the one I bolded in red in your post that I partially quoted above. Cliches won't help you escape the issues I am raising about the Trinity because there is no scriptural support for the dogma. The historical record says...

ALTER2EGO to MARK S: Am I supposed to take your word for it? Or are you going to present scriptures where it indicates: "God identifies Himself as YHWH, but also is called the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit"? This is a Bible discussion in which all are required to present scriptures to...

ALTER2EGO -to- BUTCH5: You're mistaken. The synonyms for "hell" are "Hades" and "Sheol" and "pit." DEFINITION OF HELL: "The abode of the dead, identified with the Hebrew Sheol and the Greek Hades; the underworld." http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/hell A correctly...

ALTER2EGO-to- AXEHEAD: The word "Godhead" is a fabricated word that did not show up in the Bible until the 14th century AD--in an English translation by John Wycliffe. I addressed this issue at Post # 30 on Page 1 of this thread. You will see it at the bottom of the post where I presented two...

ALTER2EGO -to- EPISKOPOS: Wait a minute, here. You just got through saying yesterday that God is not a plurality at post #29.

ALTER2EGO -to- MARK S. Try as you will, it won't do you any good. Whenever the ancient Israelites used Elohim with reference to Almighty God, they used it to emphasize God's magnitude and dignity and excellence, and it was ALWAYS with reference to a singular Yahweh/YHWH/Jehovah. Every credible...

ALTER2EGO -to- EPISKOPOS: I haven't missed a beat. You and Mark S. were the ones insisting that the word "Elohim" denotes multiple gods; remember? Now that I've debunked your reliance on "Elohim" as Biblical evidence for Trinity, you've decided to change strategy and make out as if I'm the one...

ALTER2EGO -to- MARK S & EPISKOPOS: You are both in error. Elohim is applied to a singular god as well as plural gods. "Elohim" is a Hebrew word. Hebrew does not follow the same rules for plurals as what we see in English. In Hebrew, the plural is found in the accompanying verb or adjective...
