    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Note that Rev. 11:15 says "the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ", that is, of God and of His anointed (Jesus). Clearly, once again, the Scriptures distinguish between God and His Son Jesus. It says "he" will rule forever, that is, God will rule forever, but God has chosen Jesus to rule...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    The WEB translates it as: (2) But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times. The Cambridge Bible Notes says: The passage will then become a statement...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Where in Acts does it say that? You could not become a member of the Church, and be a Christian, until Jesus had started his ministry. As Jesus said, Matthew 11:11-13 (WEB): (11) Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the...

    Jehovah is either God or He is not, correct?

    I do not worship God in ignorance. YHVH is not Jesus. You're just agreeing with the quote from Chuck Missler ("the Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed")! I do not reject Jesus and I do believe the Old and New Testaments. You are being libelous. He was the founder (with his wife)...

    Jehovah is either God or He is not, correct?

    You reveal your rather feeble level of intelligence by your own comments, if you think that Jane_Doe22's comments was in any way insulting. 1 Peter 1:15-16 (KJV): (15) But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; (16) Because it is written, Be ye holy...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Well clearly all of those commentators were mistaken! The woman is pregnant. The Church is to be Jesus' bride. So I wonder what Jesus thinks about his bride to be being pregnant? :eek: (The marriage supper of the Lamb doesn't occur until Revelation 19:6-9.) Verse 5 says: (5) She gave...

    Jehovah is either God or He is not, correct?

    Who is "you people"? If I had to guess, it sounds like you think that I am a Jehovah's Witness. I am not. (PS when I say "I am", I am not claiming to be YHVH - some people seem to think that's what saying "I am" means!) God's word to us, the Scriptures, the Holy Bible, is more than just the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    If you believe that Jesus was referring to God's name, then Jesus was saying "unless you believe YHVH" - but I think we both know Jesus was not trying to say that! WEB: (24) I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    If you take Jesus at his word, then he says that he is not God, but he does claim to be God's son. Jesus doesn't refer to himself as "I am"; that expression is just part of a normal sentence. I don't find any evidence in the Bible of Jesus referring to himself by God's name YHVH nor by the "I...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    If you don't write proper sentences then I can't understand what you're trying to say. You're not making any sense to me.

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    You have obvously misread what I wrote! Verse 5 is referring to Jesus, verse 17 is not - it's referring to Christians. Rev. 12 has no correlation to Mary! Yep, that's what I wrote. The woman in Rev. 12 flees and is and is persecuted by the dragon (Satan). It doesn't say the woman was the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    1 Peter 1:3 (KJV): (3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Peter is clearly stating that God is Jesus' God, and that God is Jesus father. 2...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    A simple explanation of Revelation 12 (there are more complex explanations involving the Church, Papacy and the Roman empire, which I find less convincing), Revelation 12 (WEB): (1) A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    That is not a logical deduction. Satan existed before Abraham too, so acording to your logic then Satan is also God YHVH. And all the angels too.

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Of course that's what I believe. In my last post I quoted Romans 10:9 (WEB): (9) that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. I wouldn't have quoted that if I didn't believe it! Acts 4 (WEB)...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Yes, that is correct, firstborn can mean chief as well as the first born. Exodus 4:22 (22) You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn, Exodus 13:2 (2) “Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    John 10:18 (MKJV): (18) No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment from My Father. Jesus had the authority, and the command, from God to lay down his life as a sacrifice for...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    (Continuing) As Jesus said in John 14:10, “the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works”. John says “the word was with [pros] God” because the word proclaimed was the word God Himself proclaimed, through the man Jesus, and the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Indeed. That's why I enjoyed watching the video on the YouTube "The Trinity Delusion" channel. It's nearly 43 minutes long, so to save viewers some time I've written up a summary of what it says: John’s Prologue Occasionally we may come across a different interpretation of a passage of...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Yes, Mary was blessed, but that doesn't make her the mother of God, who should be prayed to, etc. as the Roman Catholics do. Many other people are also blessed, as Jesus taught: Mat 5: (3) “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. (4) Blessed are those who mourn...
