Far beyond that is the fact that the word "three" is never used for God in actual scripture (although nearly always used in the trinity creeds and definitions).

John 1:1 (1) The New Testament in an Improved Version (Unitarian) says: "the Word was with God, and the Word was a god." (2) The New World Translation (Jehovah's Witnesses) says: "and the Word was a god." (3) The Emphatic Diaglott by Benjamin Wilson (Christadelphian?) says in the interlinear...

My qualifications are that I have actually, deeply delved into John's use of all his "Colwell Constructions" for years before posting my studies. Other NT Grammarians have not done this. In fact, even many of those noted trinitarian NT Grammarians who do not accept the proper translation of...

From Post 1280 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: YHWH speaks: "I am with you"...

.......................... Ordinarily I would try to ignore your ignorant posts. But perhaps this will be of value to you as well as to others here. The word you 'ponyed out' in your above post as theos is, in reality, theou. And what does theou mean? Since it is a genitive noun it means "of...

If you would read my research, you would see that Colwell's rule is misused by trinitarians at John 1:1c. His examples are not truly parallel (usually using prepositional [usually genitive]- modifiers) to Jn 1:1c. Trinitarians who eagerly grasped Colwell's Rule after 1933, have for the most...

Is. 9:6 All Christians, I believe, accept this son as being the Christ. Some will tell you that since the meaning of this symbolic name includes the words "Mighty God, Eternal Father," then Jesus is the Mighty God and the Eternal Father." But there are at least two other ways this personal...

............................... They all have an unmodified anarthrous predicate count noun which comes before the verb. Trinitarian grammarians Wallace and Harner both listed them as parallel to John 1:1c.

H: Also found in Harner’s list of “Colwell Constructions”(end note #16, JBL) W: Also found in Wallace’s list of “Colwell Constructions”(Greek Grammar & Syntax) These are all indefinite nouns. All modern trinitarian Bible translations I have examined render them as indefinite! H...

............................. I have seen that John 1:1c is the most-accused verse in the NWT for 'falsifying,' but I know from an intensive study of my own that the NWT is one of the very few Bibles which translates it properly according to John's own usage: 'a god' or its equivalent. If you...

Third clear challenge to the trinity doctrine I have enlarged an important part of the second challenge above for those who have significant problems reading English: (B) Please show where in scripture God is ever described using the word "three." Now for part C (C) Please find a clear...

The Most High God is Jehovah alone (Ps. 83:18). Jehovah is often called the Father (but he is never called the Son, the Firstborn, the Only-begotten, the Christ or Messiah, etc. - even many personal names of Israelites in the Bible actually said "Jehovah is the Father": "Abijah,' `Abiah,'...

David in NJ wrote: "Anyone who says "the Word was a god" is speaking a lie whether they know it or not." 1. A lie is when the speaker/writer knows his statement is false but continues with it anyway. If he believes what he is saying (even if it is false) it is NOT a lie. He is wrong; he is...

CLEAR CHALLENGES TO THE TRINITY DOCTRINE "trinity ...1. [cap.] Theol. The union of three persons or hypostases (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost) in one Godhead, so that all the three are one God as to substance, but three persons or hypostases as to individuality. 2. Any symbol of the...

Thank you for your intelligent, informed reply. I respect those who honestly answer every aspect of another's post.

....................................................... When an exhaustive examination by anyone of John's use of "God" (ho theos) and all uses of his constructions which are truly parallel to Jn 1:1c are completed, it is apparent that John's intention for John 1:1c is "And the word was a god."...

Exodus 3:15 uses the Hebrew word elohe (instead of elohim). This is the "Hebrew possessive prepositional form of 'elohim' meaning 'God of'." So, the honest translation of Exodus 3:15 (and the many other such uses of elohe) is "YHWH, the God of [elohe] your fathers - the God of [elohe]...
