    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...

    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...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    John tells us that no man has ever seen God (John 1:18, 1 John 4:12). ............................ "Yes, he [Jacob] wrestled with the angel and prevailed; He wept and implored His favor. He found Him at Bethel, And there He spoke with us," - Hosea 12:4, NASB.

    Understanding the Trinity.

    ........................................................ 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...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    .......................................... 1 John 5:7 Noted NT scholar, Dr. William Barclay, states the following about 1 John 5:7 as found in the KJV: "There is, of course, nothing wrong with it [if the trinity were really true as trinitarians like Barclay himself want!]; but modern...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    ........................................................... Acts 20:28 ("God...with his own blood") Trinitarians, for obvious reasons, prefer this translation of Acts 20:28 - "... to shepherd ["feed" in some translations] the church of God which He purchased with His own blood." -...

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    1 Jn 5:7 continued The highly respected (and trinitarian) United Bible Societies has published a commentary on the New Testament text. It discusses 1 John 5:5-7 as follows: “After μαρτυροῦντες [“bearing witness”] the Textus Receptus [Received Text] adds the following: ἓν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ὁ...

    The Three that Bear Witness 1 John 5:7-9

    1 Jn 5:7 The fact is that John did not write the words found at 1 Jn 5:7 in the KJV! And we must consider why trinitarian scholars and copyists felt compelled to add it to the Holy Scriptures. The only other Bibles which include this passage that I am aware of are the Catholic Douay Version...
