    "The word was a god"?

    I respect Robertson as a NT grammarian. But he is a trinitarian and makes clear 'errors' when it comes to defending trinity 'proofs.' Take the only part of your cut and paste which relates to my study of John's grammar: "in Joh_4:24 pneuma ho theos can only mean 'God is spirit,' not 'spirit...

    "The word was a god"?

    ...................................... There's a simple, foolproof way to find out. Why do you suppose no trinitarian dares do it?

    "The word was a god"?

    You can lead a donkey to water, but still cannot get him to examine your personal study of the grammar of John as it pertains to John 1:1c.

    "The word was a god"?

    Jn 1:1c has an unmodified "theos" without the article. Therefore, even some trinitarian scholars [the first 6 listed below at least] are forced to admit that this passage may be literally translated as "the Word was a god"! This includes W. E. Vine, p. 490, An Expository Dictionary of New...

    "The word was a god"?

    Choosing examples which are truly parallel to John's construction for John 1:1c Trinitarians who have used examples from John’s writings which they claim as parallel examples to John 1:1c, often use examples which are improperly used for this purpose. These include personal names, abstract...

    "The word was a god"?

    Johann (and helpers): So, how did I know that you would continue to avoid actually responding to the grammar of John as used in John 1:1c as shown in my study? Because you ignored it so many times in this thread alone, and now you flood the thread with other studies and "proofs" which also do...

    John 1:1 - Jesus is the Father or he's not the one true God?

    Elohim That the Hebrew plural is often used for a singular noun to denote “a ‘plural’ of majesty or excellence” is well-known by all Biblical Hebrew language experts and has been known from at least the time of Gesenius (1786-1842), who is still regarded as one of the best authorities for...

    "The word was a god"?

    ......................................... I don't recall that I have ever used "YouTube, everywhere" to show the truth of the trinity doctrine. I doubt you will honestly examine and comment on my study of John 1:1c. You have ignored that challenge so many times on this thread already ....

    Johann wrote #515: "You are no scholar, so leave John 1:1 and lean not unto your own understanding. I know the urge to sound to sound [sic] sophomoric and highly intellectual and to know all the answers in the scriptures is fleshly driven, mere intellectual, stoical knowledge, acquired gnosis...

    "The word was a god"?

    Johann #667: “Was the Word - John begins without hesitation, without genealogy, without apology, without doubt by describing our Lord's ‘ineffable Person!’ In three sweeping statements John presents the Word as fully God. ”The verb was (ēn) is in the imperfect tense which depicts continual...

    Hebrews 1:8 From the Greek

    Examining the Trinity: Hebrews 1:8 - “Thy Throne, O God” if we look at some respected trinitarian authorities, we also see a preference for the “God is thy throne” rendering. Oxford professor and famous trinitarian Bible translator, Dr. James Moffatt, has been described as “probably the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    A well-known "cult"-buster in the fifties - eighties. He particularly hated JW's and made most of his money attacking them. His books are still popular but still highly inaccurate. One of my studies answered many of his accusations. In fact, my very first study (1974?) investigated his...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    John 5:18 Here is how John 5:18 appears in its entirety: “For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal [ison] with God.” - NIV. You see, Jesus had just healed a man on...
