    There is a dispute

    Literally the NT Greek manuscripts read at Heb. 1:8: “Toward but the son the throne of you the god into the age of the age.” There is evidence that the proper translation of Heb. 1:8 (as well as Ps. 45:6) should be “your throne is God forever” or “God is your throne forever.” And yet we find...

    Our Lord Jesus Said He is God

    Rev. 1:7 - except for NIV, all Bibles I have examined which use quotation marks do not use them at Rev. 1:7. This shows (as does the context) that John is writing this verse as himself. The KJV (and a few others) did not use quotation marks at all, so one may decide for himself exactly who is...

    Our Lord Jesus Said He is God

    Repeat of post #3 for Davy. Although trinitarian-translated Bibles have traditionally rendered 'Immanuel' at Matthew 1:23 as "God with us," most other trinitarian sources I have found render it more properly as "With Us Is God." This was a common expression among the Israelites and those who...

    Our Lord Jesus Said He is God

    Heb. 11:3 does not say "through faith." There is no use of dia there. Simply the dative form of 'faith' (pistei) which means to or by faith.

    Our Lord Jesus Said He is God

    John 1:3, 10 John's (and Jesus' and all Bible writers') repeated use of the term "Father" for God stresses over and over that Jesus' Father (and our Father) is the ultimate source who, because of his will (Rev. 4:11) and his spoken command (Ps. 33:6, 8, 9; Ps. 148:5) caused (originated) all...

    Our Lord Jesus Said He is God

    1 Tim. 3:16 The NKJV (and the few other Bibles still based on the flawed Received Text) has rendered this passage as "God was manifested in the flesh" when it is quite clear that this was a change to the earlier manuscripts purposely made by trinitarian copyists around the eighth or ninth...

    True Trinity.

    John 14:9 John 14:1 - “believe in God, believe also in me.” 14:7 - “If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. v. 8) Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. v.9) Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    If that is a statement in your Bible, you really should look for a new Bible. "The LORD (Adonai—here the Lord Jesus) is at Your (Jehovah's) right hand; He (Messiah) shall execute kings in the day of His wrath." Most of the many Bibles which have removed the 6000+ uses of God's name have...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Trinitarians have been rendering John 1:1c into English as "and the Word was God" for hundreds of years. But it wasn't until 1933 that one of them came up with a grammatical reason for such a rendering (in spite of John's uses of parallel clauses which are translated differently by the same...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    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 translations today use a word which refers, not to God, but to Jesus: “he”...

    21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: - John 17:21, 22, KJV.

    Why the trinity?

    "God is one" is used frequently in the scriptures, but "God is three" never is. In fact, the word 'three' is never used for God.

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Is. 9:6 is usually translated in trinitarian-translated Bibles as: “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” - NASB. Even most...

    Gen. 1:26 - "Let US ...." There are a number of interpretations of this scripture given by Bible experts. The oft-used trinitarian explanation is only one (and probably the least likely). One other is that the only-begotten Son of God was present at this time. Another recognizes that the...
