.................................................. Instead of clear, simple statements that God is three persons who are equally the one God, trinitarians most often compare one scripture with another and manage to “discover” that God is three equal persons. So here is a tongue-in-cheek example...

"holy spirit," being in the neuter gender in NT Greek, is properly referred to with neuter pronouns ("it," "itself," etc.). The Encyclopedia Americana tells us: “The doctrine of the Holy Spirit [as a person who is God] is a distinctly Christian one.... the Spirit of Jehovah [in the OT] is...

...................................... 1 Jn 5:20 (“We are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This [outos] is the true God, and eternal life.” - KJV) That is the trinitarian interpretation of that scripture. Remember, I specified "clear, undisputed scripture"...

The only clear, undisputed scripture which speaks of the only true God is Jesus' prayer at John 17:3. And that is that the Father is the only true God.

The faith that leads to everlasting life belongs to God. Jesus himself in prayer to the Father: "Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ." - John 17:3, NAB ('91).

The scripture says Stephen saw the glory of God and and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Since the Father is God alone [Jn 17:3], you are technically correct, but still misquoting the scripture. Acts 7:55 - "But he [Stephen], being full of the Holy Spirit, looked intently into heaven...

In answer to your post 178 and again above: Butch5 wrote above: "In Genesis we have Jehovah on earth and Jehovah in Heaven. Clearly two separate beings. 'Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all...

Scripture does not say "God was manifested in the flesh"! 1 Tim. 3:16 ("He who was manifest in the flesh") - most Bibles. 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...

Matthew wrote: "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one." The word "three" (unlike "one") is never used for God in scripture. Michaelvpardo wrote: "Scripture very plainly calls our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifested in...

I'm surprised that you would use this spurious version of 1 Tim. 3:16. See: Jesus IS God in the flesh!!

Where did I choose "6 or 7 Bible translations"? If that is an example of your reading ability, it may not be worthwhile trying to discuss with you.

The only correct "Bible," as best we can discover, would be the W&H; the UBS; and the Nestle NT Greek texts. And for the OT, the Hebrew text, Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS). What makes you think that biased, imperfect men have translated any single Bible 100% correctly? If I had to...

Post #152 above: “Scripture never calls the LORD the Father. Nor our LORD and Father. And since Scripture does say Jesus Christ is the true God and eternal life. So, I'll say Jesus Christ the Son and true God from now on.” ….………………………………… Ps. 89:26 “He shall cry unto me, Thou art my...

For those KJV only folks, see: Ps. 83:18. "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth."

David in post #482: And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and...

Noted Bible scholar Joseph H. Thayer gives these 5 meanings for the NT Greek word Pneuma (“spirit”): “1. a movement of air, (gentle) blast.”.... “2. The spirit, i.e. the vital principal by which the body is animated.”.... “3. a spirit [person], i.e., a simple essence, devoid of all grosser...

............................................................ In the Old Testament (OT) it is clear that the inspired Bible writers intended holy spirit to be understood as an invisible, powerful force from God. Even many trinitarian scholars will admit that. (We can even see the same...
