    Your Throne O God

    .................................... "What you have done, as you do, is to force your personal theology, into what the Bible actually says!" I prefer to think that you just don't read before you criticize. (see posts #5 and 6 above). The alternative is not good. "my personal theology" did...

    1 John 5:20

    True God (continued) Here, then are all the uses of “the true God” to be found in the entire Holy Scriptures (according to Strong’s; Young’s; and the New American Standard Concordances): (1) 2 Chron. 15:3, 4 says: “Now for a long season Israel was without the true (alethinos -...

    1 John 5:20

    ......................................................... Who is the “True God”? John 4:24 tells us we must worship God in truth (aletheia in the Greek text). There can be no doubt what “truth” means here. It can be properly contrasted here...

    Your Throne O God

    Quoted From Ps. 45 In addition to these admissions by trinitarian translators concerning Heb. 1:8, we need to look back at the Old Testament Hebrew scripture (Ps. 45:6) that Paul was quoting when he wrote Heb. 1:8. The RSV renders it as “Your Divine throne” and a footnote provides this...

    Your Throne O God

    .................................................................. Literally the NT Greek manuscripts read: “Toward but the son the throne of you the god into the age of the age.” No one should deny that the title theos (NT Greek word meaning “God,” “god,” “mighty one,” “divine,” etc.) can...

    Which translation do you think is the best English translation?

    "those names or the tetragrammaton were completely removed and replaced with the words God or Lord." And by whom and from where and when was the tetragrammaton removed?

    Which translation do you think is the best English translation?

    ............................... Then it would include all the thousands of places where God has used his name. These would include those which transliterate it as Jehovah (traditional English form), Yahweh, Yehowah, or the literal YHWH. 'LORD' or 'Lord' is not an honest transliteration of...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    From Post 1280 (and repeated by him at 1440 above) by Kermos above: All three of the phrases "I AM" in Exodus 3:14 are eyheh; therefore, the Word of God assigns the name "I AM" to YHWH God. Now look at these other TaNaKh scriptures which use ehyeh and see how "I am" is the accurate translation...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    #1355 above: We can find a number of translations and commentaries of Titus 2:13 which render it as referring to two persons: 13 lokynge for that blessed hope and appearynge of the glory of ye greate God and of oure Sauioure Iesu Christ - Coverdale 13 lokynge for þe blessed hope & appearinge...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Is Jesus ‘Alpha and Omega’ in Rev. 22? Now look at Rev. 22:8-16. John is identified as the speaker in 22:8. The angel speaks in 9). The angel apparently continues speaking in 10). The angel may be still speaking in 11) --- or it could be John or even someone else (as implied in verse 10 in...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Christophany wrote a convoluted post concerning "first and last" and "Alpha and Omega". “First and Last” The Greek for the “first and last” at Is. 44:6; 48:12; and Rev. 1:17. Actually you might prefer to call this a “description-confusion trick”...

    Before Abraham Existed I AM

    .................................................... .................................................... Hebrews 1:8 The 'original copies' of Heb. 1:8 (P46 is the earliest - first to middle part of second century) says Ὁ θρόνος σου ὁ θεὸς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος. (θεὸς is in its abbreviated...

    Before Abraham Existed I AM

    Not only is the wording of Ex. 3:14 not "I am" but "I will be" [ehyeh] in the Hebrew OT and "the being" in the Septuagint version, but everywhere else in Moses' writings the Hebrew (ehyeh) is rendered in nearly all Bibles as "I will be." We know that some of the Jews wanted Jesus killed for...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    "Why did they fall to the ground?" Two hundred (at least) Roman soldiers were also there who probably didn't understand Jesus' language. And even if they did understand, they surely wouldn't understand that a mistranslation of a Jewish OT word (ehyeh, Heb. or ho own, Sept.) meant that Jesus was...

    ˒ĕlōhı̂m: Plural Persons, or Majesty?

    Forget it, Wrangler. He's already proved that he is not open to honest discussion or real evidence. Post #3 above: Elohim The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia says: “It is characteristic of Heb[rew] that extension, magnitude, and dignity, as well as actual multiplicity, are...
