I am aware of John 17:5 and then right before that in John 17:3 it directly says that only the Father is God. That means Jesus isn't God if John 17:3 is accepted on its own ground. As far as the pre-existence of Jesus, we should determine in what sense Jesus pre-existed. Whether it be literal...

The Word could either possibly be a god or something godly. I personally believe that Jesus didn't pre-exist as a being known as the Word simply because there is nothing clear in the Old Testament or New Testament about Jesus pre-existing. This is also supported by the Greek. What was Jesus...

Well said, and even Jesus said such himself. Matt 27 46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Then in Psalm 22, know who the God Jesus referring to is? :)

You could quote an infinite number of versions/translations of Isaiah 9:6 and the result wouldn't change. The matter is Isaiah 9:6 doesn't call Jesus mighty God. It says he will be called that and then he was never called that. Isaiah 9 6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and...

A Christian is a person who believes in Jesus Christ and follows his teachings. So the answer to your question is going to be based on if they actually believe in and follow Jesus' teachings. After having looked through what the beliefs of the Latter-Day Saints are on their website, I have...

Didn’t happen by anyone with any authority. God didn't say it, Jesus didn’t say it, the disciples didn’t say it. That’s a clue Isaiah 9:6 isn’t translated correctly. Here’s how Brenton’s Septuagint Translation (LXX) words it. Esias 9 6For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose...

John 20:17 says that Thomas' God is the Father. Therefore, when Thomas said "my God" in John 20:28 why would that change? The word "prayer" doesn't appear there in the Greek. Calling out or speaking to someone isn't praying to them, whether they be the Son at God's right hand or otherwise...

Jesus and other men given authority by God to forgive sins: Matthew 9 6But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” Then He said to the paralytic, “Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.” 7And the man got up and went home. 8When the crowds saw this...

Saying what someone will be called isn't the same thing as calling them that. Once again, Jesus was never called "mighty God" in the Bible. Nor was Jesus called the Everlasting Father. If you have the scripture showing otherwise, would love to see it. No one in the universe has found it...

Some translations of Isaiah 9:6 say the child would be "called" mighty God and then Jesus was never called that. Actually, Jesus went on to deny being God. Jesus also isn't the everlasting Father. If Jesus is the everlasting Father, then that would mean the Son is the Father and your theology of...

Me too.... if we can only figure out what the Scriptures are. The manuscripts don't even teach exactly the same things. lol so here we all are and no one really agrees with each other very often anymore. Personally, I think the Old Testament is the best place to begin, but to each their own I...

I really feel like the Bible may be more corrupted than we can possibly know. So much has been lost to time and there is precedent for a deliberate alteration to Biblical manuscripts. Apparently, it's extremely easy to turn the word "he" into "god." It literally takes just adding a line because...

Where there are two mentions of the definitive God, the Father YHWH, and another god in the same context there is typically a distinction made in the Greek so it's clear one is God Almighty and the other isn't. This appears in John 1:1 and John 1:18 in some manuscripts. John 20:17 compared to...

Bottom line is you have nothing explicit about Jesus pre-existing his birth. Just theology, doctrine, belief, etc. There are no Old Testament examples of Jesus saying or doing anything. No. The "angel of the Lord" is demonstrably not YHWH. The angel of the Lord and the LORD are having a...

YHWH and the three men are not the same person. Numbers 23:19 and Hosea 11:9 says God is not a man. Where do you see Jesus saying or doing anything there? I think you may be trying to say the "angel of the LORD" is God, but not according to Scripture. Isaiah 63 8For He said, “They are surely...

Not a denial, but a necessity to understand John 8:58 this way. Jesus, the Son of God, Messiah, or whichever name you prefer to call him is completely missing in action in the Old Testament, and before Abraham, saying or doing anything; that’s okay, too. If you feel or believe otherwise, please...

"I am" the English translation of the Greek words ego eimi. These words appear all over the New Testament and often depend on the context. When these words are used in context of humans, such as is the case in John 9:9, where a man said "ego eimi" the translators rendered this into English as "I...

1 Corinthians 15:47 doesn't contain the word Lord. 1 John 5:7 doesn't exist. It was added much later. 1 Timothy 3:16 doesn't have "God appeared in the flesh" in the earliest and best manuscripts. It's very misleading and I couldn't recommend the KJV for those reasons. The RV is much better.

They are issues because they are not contained in the best Greek manuscripts and were found to be later alterations.

These are probably some of the biggest issues I've seen in the KJV. There are a number of smaller, less important, issues as well. 1 Corinthians 15:47 1 John 5:7 1 Timothy 3:16
