isos does not mean “absolute equality of nature” - cf. Matt. 20:12; Luke 20:36 (esp. LB). Even the noted trinitarian authority The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology admits that ison (and its related forms) “indicates more strongly an external, objectively measurable and...

Although it has been rejected by even many trinitarian Bible scholars, some others attempt to force an interpretation of morphe (μορφῇ) that includes the idea of “essence” or “nature.” They do this only at Phil. 2:6 (Jesus “was in the form [morphe] of God”) because the true meaning of morphe...

.......................................................... There could be some doubt about the meaning of the word harpagmos if we looked only at the NT Greek Scriptures (since harpagmos occurs only at Phil. 2:6 in the entire New Testament). We would then only have the meaning of the source...

I was aware of some of the Early Church Fathers saying that (including Athanasius), but not of the Catholic Church itself. Thank you.

............................................ Some of the trinitarian sources which admit that the Bible actually describes men who represent God (judges, faithful Israelite kings, etc.) and God’s angels as gods (or a god) include: 1. Young’s Analytical Concordance of the Bible, “Hints and...

First, Dropship said correctly that JESUS never claimed to be God. John 1:1 has JOHN saying that the Word was theos. Second, the use or non-use of the article is not a designator for the predicate noun. But, for count nouns as predicate nouns, it is a sign that the P.N. is definite or...

Expressions in the Bible like ‘in Christ’ - “denote membership in Christ and his church ... 1 Thess. 4:16; Ro. 8:1; 16:11” - Kittel, p. 233, and #45 in ‘Hints and Helps’, Young’s Analytical Concordance. And sure enough, when we look up these scriptures, we see that they use en, ἐν, which is...

Philo died about 50 A.D. The Apostle John wrote his Gospel around 100 A.D.

Yes, as we have seen above, a large number of highly distinctive descriptions of the Logos by Philo have also been used by John to describe his Logos: Jesus! These terms are used by Philo alone, not by other trinitarian-proposed sources of John’s Logos concept! After discussing all other...
