    Understanding the Trinity.

    I would be very worried if my worship were a majority one! Matt. 7:13-14, NASB 13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and...

    The Case For The Triune GodHead!

    Isaiah 9:6 see my study here: Examining the Trinity: Isa. 9:6 "Mighty God, Eternal Father" ...................... Micah 5:2 Some trinitarians tell us Micah 5:2 (or 5:1 in some versions) teaches that Jesus has always existed ("from everlasting" - KJV). And since only God has existed for all...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    ................................................... Why do you insist that it is I who is struggling with the meaning of Heb. 1:8. I have provided an impressive number of trinitarian scholars to give you a probable non-trinitarian rendering of Heb. 1:8/ Ps. 45:6. How is it my fault they...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    ............................................. Heb. 1:8 translated from Ps. 45:6 Psalm 45 is celebrating an Israelite king’s marriage, and the psalmist applies the words of Ps. 45:6, 7 literally to an ancient Israelite king. In fact, the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    .................... Many names in the Hebrew OT are praises to or comments about God Himself. Unfortunately, Most Hebrew names which are comprised of two or more words lack verbs, prepositions, etc. These were understood by those who lived at that time, but modern translators must fill in...

    King James Version Only...?

    .............................................. Psalm 83:18 “That they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, Art the Most High over all the earth.” - ASV. “That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.” - KJV. 2 Kings 19:19 “Now...

    King James Version Only...?

    ............................................... ELOHIM Many trinitarian apologists will tell us that the Hebrew word for God (Elohim) is plural because it shows that God is a trinity. For example: "Among Trinitarian Christian writers it...

    King James Version Only...?

    ................................................... Yachid A few trinitarians insist that not only does echad mean “plural oneness,” but that, if singleness were intended by the Bible writer, the Hebrew word yachid (dyxy) would have been used at Deut. 6:4...

    King James Version Only...?

    .......................................................... Echad (‘Plural’ Oneness) I have seen Deut. 6:4 - “YHWH [Jehovah/Yahweh] our God, YHWH [Jehovah/Yahweh] one [Echad] in Hebrew]” - rendered in several ways. (I prefer "Jehovah [is] our God, Jehovah alone.") Some trinitarians...

    The Trinity

    ............................................ The age-old problem. Don't need to examine anything - - I already know it all. What a shame. IF you would even take the massive effort of clicking on my links for the pronouns in NT GREEK, you would find that auto means (not 'self' as in Latin)...

    The Trinity

    ........................................ "Auto means SELF.... "it could be a HIM, HER, IT" Look it up, please: Mastering New Testament Greek (biblicalelearning.org) See 3rd person pronouns Lesson 6 (ntgreek.net) see 3rd person pronouns Greek Pronouns | New Testament Greek Study...

    The Trinity

    ....................................... Personification of things is very common in the NT. Ro 8:26 - the pronoun auto is neuter and refers back to a noun (‘spirit’ in this case) which is also in the neuter case. So KJV and a few others properly translate auto in this verse as “itself.”...

    The Trinity

    ...................................... A NT language expert highly respected by trinitarians tells us that Bible phrases beginning “in the name of...” indicate that the secondary meaning of “authority” or “power” was intended by the Bible writer. - p. 772, Vine. Therefore, Matt. 28:19 actually...

    Divinity of Jesus Christ!

    Yes, and the fact that it has faded so quickly in comparison to the rest of the 'theta' shows that the bar was a forgery which used a less permanent ink than the original.

    The Case For The Triune GodHead!

    ............................................ It is true that the word for God (theos) in the New Testament is masculine, and masculine pronouns (“he,” “him,” “himself”) are always used with it. The word “Father” is also in the masculine gender in the original Greek of the NT, and masculine...

    Divinity of Jesus Christ!

    ............................................................... 1 Tim. 3:16 (“God was manifest in the flesh”) As this is translated in the KJV it makes Paul say that Jesus is God “manifest in the flesh.” Although the KJV translates 1 Tim. 3:16 with “God” as above, nearly all other...

    The Trinity

    GodsGrace wrote (#430): 1. Jesus said He was going to His God because God IS HIS FATHER. Jesus eminated from God. This is what non-trinitarians cannot understand. Christianity believes that Jesus was BEGOTTEN, NOT MADE... Not Made means that Begotten DOES NOT mean made...

    The Case For The Triune GodHead!

    ....................................................... Arius believed that Jesus was created by the Father and is not equal to God (as did most of the Bishops at the Council of Nicea). I agree with that. There are some other things he believed which I don’t agree with. I also agree with the...

    The Case For The Triune GodHead!

    You're mistaken. God is love (feminine). Jesus is called a lamb (neuter), Rev. 14:1. I'm sure that with just a little effort you can find more. Even most (if not all) Ante-Nicene Fathers understood proverbs 8:22 - 30 as describing Christ. I believe they understood the language better than...

    The Trinity

    GodsGrace wrote: "In the year 180, when Christianity was still pure, Irenaeus taught this: For with Him were always present the Word and Wisdom (Jesus and the Holy Spirit, as He is called in the O.T.) the Son and the Spirit, by whom and in whom, freely and spontaneously, He made all things.
