Do you even understand the term "personal studies"? These are my personal studies with little or no reference to WT information. (Originally I had a beginning comment which stated that I was purposely avoiding evidence presented by the WT and, instead using mostly trinitarian scholars and...

Wow! I guess your point is that the majority of trinitarian-translated Bibles render statements in the text in a trinitarian-supporting manner! What a revelation! Who would ever have guessed it? The truth is that no trinitarian-translated Bible should have chosen a non-trinitarian rendering...

.............................. John 10:18 - Nobody takes it from me; I lay it down of my own accord. I have the right to lay it down, and I have the right to receive it back again. This is the command I received from my father.’ - NTE. Exousia may also be rendered as ‘authority’ or ‘right.’...

I do not believe this expression by Thomas is an address to anyone as stated by trinitarians. If he had addressed Jesus with the intent of saying something further (e.g. “My Lord and my God, how have you returned to us?") it would be considered an address. But there is no indication of any...

Thomas had said (verse :25) that unless something happened he would “not believe.” What was it that Thomas refused to believe? Was it that he refused to believe that Jesus was equally God with the Father? There is certainly no hint of this before or after Thomas’ statement at John 20:28...

Quoted From Ps. 45 In addition to these admissions by trinitarian translators concerning Heb. 1:8, we need to look back at the Old Testament Hebrew scripture (Ps. 45:6) that Paul was quoting when he wrote Heb. 1:8. The RSV renders Ps. 45:6 as “Your Divine throne” and a footnote...

"the 'theos [h]en o logos' (John 1:1c)" How even a beginner NT Greek student could mistake ἦν as [h]en is strange indeed. Examining the Trinity

If we look at some respected trinitarian authorities, we see a preference for the “God is thy throne” rendering. Oxford professor and famous trinitarian Bible translator, Dr. James Moffatt, has been described as “probably the greatest biblical scholar of our day.” His respected Bible...

Is. 48:16 - Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD [Jehovah], and his spirit, hath sent me. - KJV. Commenting on this scripture some trinitarians will say: "The speaker of Is. 48:16 is...

The “evidence” here is supposed to be that Peter first says that Ananias lied to the Holy Spirit. Then he turns around and says that Ananias lied to God. The supposition being, evidently, that the one lie [or deception] could only be directed to one person. Therefore the Holy Spirit “must” be...

Harpagmos (Phil. 2:6) Now notice how these two very trinitarian Bibles have rendered it: 1. “He did not think to snatch at [harpagmos, ἁρπαγμὸς] equality with God”[1] - NEB. 2. “He did not think that by force [harpagmos] he should try to become equal with God” - TEV (and GNB). We...

"Begotten," "Created," and “Father” as Used in Scripture The Hebrew word yalad means "to bear, bring forth, beget"- Gesenius, #3205, but it can be used (as the equivalent English word also can) for "cause to be." For example, when God says he "begot"/"fathered" (yalad) the nation of Israel...

“Only God can forgive (aphiemi) sins,” say certain trinitarians, “and Jesus forgave sin, Mark 2:7. Therefore, Jesus must be God!” So, John 20:20-23 “proves” that the disciples also must be God, right?

Mantey letter to WT "I have a copy of your letter addressed to Caris in Santa Ana, California, and I am writing to express my disagreement with statements made in that letter, as well as in quotations you have made from the Dana-Mantey Greek Grammar. (1) Your statement: 'their work allows for...

Gen. 19:24 ("Jehovah rained down fire ... from Jehovah") "Then the LORD rained down upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven." - KJV. This one seems too ridiculous to even bother with, but some trinitarians appear to be serious about it. It...

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 is [often] seen as evidence for the doctrine of the Trinity, a plurality in the Godhead." - Theopedia...

There are at least two other ways this personal name has been interpreted by reputable Bible scholars. (1) The titles within the name (e.g., “Mighty God”) are intended in their secondary, subordinate senses (e.g., “a mighty god”). (2) the titles within the name are meant to praise God the...
