    Jesus Christ The Only Wise God

    1 Timothy 1:17 Some trinitarians present this verse as evidence of Jesus being God. They use the KJV (because its Textus Receptus is flawed here). “Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” - KJV. But the best...

    What is the name of the son per Matt 28:19?

    .............................................. David's sacrifice of praise in Ps. 86:6, 10-12 ASV tells us Jehovah alone is God. But is Jesus that "Jehovah only," that "God alone," (Ex. 22:20) to whom we must sacrifice (Heb. 13:15)? Psalm 110 itself tells us the answer. As the inspired writer...

    What is the name of the son per Matt 28:19?

    Sending someone or something "in my name" or "in the name of" simply means "by my (or his) authority. For example as used in Matt. 28:19: New Testament language experts tell us that “name” (onoma) usually refers to a personal name (or proper noun for a thing). So why do even some very...

    What is the name of the son per Matt 28:19?

    His name is Jesus of course. More important, what is the name of the holy spirit?

    What are the FACES of God? (Exodus 30:11-34:35)

    ........................................... Gen. 18:1-19:1 tells of three "men" who meet Abraham. These three turned out to be angels of Jehovah, and only one of them speaks for God (as in the burning bush of Exodus). Again God is properly represented by one, single individual even though it...

    What are the FACES of God? (Exodus 30:11-34:35)

    Faces of God When the Hebrew scriptures speak of the face of God, they invariably use the plural Hebrew word which is literally “faces” (e.g. Ex. 33:20, Num. 6:25, Ps. 10:11). Obviously, according to this type of trinitarian reasoning, to have “faces” God must be more than one person...

    What are the FACES of God? (Exodus 30:11-34:35)

    “Then the LORD rained down upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven.” - KJV. This one seems too ridiculous to bother with, but some trinitarians appear to be serious about it. It goes this way: when we read Gen. 19:24, we find there are two different...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Behold wrote: Thomas speaking to Jesus....>"My Lord and my God" Jesus speaking...."I and my Father, are One". John 1:1 says...."IN the Beginning was the Word and the word WAS God">. = Jesus is the "word made flesh" 1 Timothy 3:16 : says that "GOD was born of a virgin...(Manifested IN the...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    .................................... When Bible writers write that a number of persons are “one,” they consistently mean it in a figurative sense. For example, Paul includes himself and Apollos in a “oneness”: “He that plants [Paul] and he that waters [Apollos] are one” - 1 Cor. 3:6, 8...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    In its commentary to Exodus 3:14, the JPS Tanakh, Jewish Study Bible, Oxford Edition states: "God's proper name disclosed in the next verse is YHVH (spelled yod-heh-vav-heh. In Heb., in ancient times, the "vav" was pronounced "w"). But here God first tells Moses its meaning; ehyeh-asher-ehyeh...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    The Gospel writers have clearly shown Jesus applying the term ego eimi to himself and meaning “I am the Christ.” Mark 13:6 shows Jesus saying, “I am he [literally just ego eimi alone, ‘I AM’]” - NEB. The parallel account at Luke 21:8 agrees. But the other parallel account by Matthew shows...

    The Blood of God

    John 20:28 is a statement by Thomas who had refused to believe that Jesus had been resurrected. His statement is a phrase without subject or verb and if subject and verb are to be supplied by the translator, it could read “you are My Lord and My God.” It is more likely, however, that it would...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Jehovah [YHWH] is the Father: Isaiah 63:16. American Standard Version 16 For thou art our Father, though Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us: thou, O Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer from everlasting is thy name. Is. 64:8, ASV 8: But now, O Jehovah, thou art our...

    The Blood of God

    ............................................... Acts 20:28 There are 2 major uncertainties about the proper translation of Acts 20:28. Either one of those uncertainties completely nullifies any trinitarian "evidence" proposed for this scripture! First, even some trinitarian Bibles translate...

    Scott Downey in #322 above: Jesus Testifies to the Churches 12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” 14 Blessed are those who do His...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    .............................................. Rev 1:4-7 is John speaking to the churches. He notes that the men to whom he is writing will be serving his [Jesus’] God and Father. John stops his own words at the end of verse 7. Then God speaks: 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    ................................................. Worship The Hebrew word most often translated “worship” is shachah, and it is usually rendered as proskuneo in the Greek Septuagint version of the Old Testament. Unger and White say of this word: “Shachah ... ‘to worship, prostrate oneself...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    Curtis wrote (#307): “John hears a voice speaking, who says He’s the alpha and omega, the first and last, who is, and was, and IS TO COME, THE ALMIGHTY verse 8, and in verse 11 repeats that He’s the alpha and omega, first and last. “John looks to see who’s speaking, and it’s Jesus. ”Rev 1:12...
