Thank you for your valuable on-point informative reply.

Any English translation of a verse or verses which are of essential importance should be analyzed by examining the Greek or Hebrew text. I have done so with most verses which are considered the best trinity 'proofs.'

Angelina, I don't believe any Bible translation today is totally accurate. Certainly paraphrase Bibles (and especially 'Amplified' Bibles) are most likely to distort the original meaning. I chose to quote a small part of Phil. 2 from this Bible because I thought it brought out what was...

Prolly.

You're welcome.

Re Msg #125. This is intended only as a helpful hint. There is no such word in English as "prolly." You probably mean "probably."

The problem with Phil. 2:6, 7 (part 3) Many trinitarians insist that this scripture proves that Jesus was (and is) “equal with God.” But all the real evidence proves just the opposite! Phil. 2:6 is, in reality, proof that Jesus has never been equally God with the Father! To begin with...

Hi, Scott. I'm giving you a link to my blog. It will take you to my study of John 10:30 ("One"). And if you have questions about my personal studies of other trinity 'proofs,' you will find them listed on the right-hand column of the blog page. There is also a verse and subject search...

Personal names in scripture which include more than one word most often have 'small' words added in translation. These include words such as 'is,' 'to,' 'of,' 'the,' etc. For example, Elijah means 'God Jah' (Jehovah). However most Hebrew scholars will add to it and render it in English 'God is...

................................................ "I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no savior [yasha]." - Is. 43:11, ASV. But is “saviour” (yasha in Hebrew, soter in NT Greek) really an exclusive title for Jehovah, or can it properly be applied to other individuals? If Jehovah...

The acc. marker found in Hebrew has absolutely nothing to do with Rev. 1:8 or Rev. 22:13.

Go to my #192 reply and click on the very last line. This will take you to the Hebrew of Isaiah 2:1 (the first in my list of examples) and its English translation. Hebrew reads from right to left, so you will see there that "a man ... took a daughter." In Hebrew it could read, in spite of...

Alef Tau is a direct object marker "The Aleph and Taw spell what is known as the accusative (direct object) marker (and scholars have known it for millennia - no mystery here). It is not translated since it is a grammatical/syntactical pointer. There is also an identical preposition in...

I have seen a few other references to the “aleph tau” found in OT Hebrew manuscripts and left ‘untranslated’ in all Bibles. Some Trinitarians have selected a verse where this usage is found in connection with God or the Messiah and claim that this is falsely left untranslated and should be...

Good post, Richard. Heb. 1:8 is a quote from Psalm 45:6 and it, like Heb. 1:8, is sometimes translated as "God is your throne" or "Your Throne is God." University of Cambridge professor and noted New Testament language scholar, Dr. C. F. D. Moule writes that Heb. 1:8 may be “construed so...

Harpagmos (part 2) The key to both these words (harpagmos and its source word, harpazo) is: taking something away from someone by force and against his will. And if we should find a euphemism such as “prize” used in a trinitarian Bible for harpagmos, it has to be understood only in the same...

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

"What is your point? Are you arguing against the Trinity? Or are you arguing aginst [sic] Jesus being God? You wrote a lot, but didn't say much." ........................... I believe my very first paragraph made clear what my point was. I am quoting trinitarian NT scholars to show that the NT...

DPM answers: "you are extracting one verse and then redefining its meaning according to your own views." "your posting is intended to take out of context and redefine the meaning whether its you or your promoting of the same. its ho[r]se dump at best." ...

Morphe - part 3 So one in the morphe of a slave is one who has the appearance of a slave (but may not be in actuality - thus, “taking the disguise [morphe] of a slave” - Phil. 2:7, Living Bible.). This is the obvious meaning of “form” here and it is still used in this sense even today. As an...
