    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Galations 3:16-19 (ASV): (16) Now to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. (17) Now this I say: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years after...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    It's "Lord Jesus", it's never printed as "LORD Jesus". The Old Testament Scriptures referring to Jesus are the verses referring to the promised Messiah, e.g. Daniel 9:25 (KJV): (25) Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Indeed, read John 5! Remove the Trinity tinted spectacles and see if you can spot the real truth! John 5:19-29 (WEB): (19) Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    You said Jesus was God, and God cannot die, therefore you cannot believe that Jesus died. Believing that Jesus is God only leads to confusion, because it is not in harmony with the Scriptures.

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    I have already been saved. Studying the Scriptures helps us to "properly handle the Word of Truth". 2 Timothy 2:15-26 (WEB): (15) Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth. (16) But shun empty chatter...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    There is no threesome in that sentence! There's just God and an unspecified number of other persons that God is talking to. It is illogical to deduce three persons are referred to in that sentence. So Jesus was with God, then he came to live on the Earth (sent from God), and later he returned...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Jesus said, John 4:24 (KJV): (24) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. He did not say "God is three spirits".

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Luke 6:12 (WEB): (12) In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God. Luke 4:8 (WEB): (8) Jesus answered him, “Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’” where Jesus was quoting...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    No, that commandment says "You shall have no other gods before me", i.e. you shall have no other gods that you consider to be greater than YHWH, or above or in front of YHWH. Believing that Jesus is YHWH's son who now has the same divine nature as YHWH, and that YHWH has given Jesus all...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    A small point - it was Paul, not Timothy, who wrote that. 1 Timothy is a letter from Paul to Timothy. Here's another verse confirming Jesus was dead - Romans 1:3-4 (WEB): (3) concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh, (4) who was declared to be the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    And Jesus replied, John 8:25 (WEB), "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning". And what had he been saying? Had he said "I am God" or "I am YHWH"? No. He had been saying that he was the Son of God. John the baptist testified that Jesus was the Son of God (John 1:34); demons...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Where did you read that? Jesus' Hebrew name is Yeshua, or Yehoshua/Jehoshua and it means "YHWH saved" or "YHWH is salvation" according to Strong's and the Online Bible Greek Lexicon. From the Wikipedia article for Yeshua: The name יֵשׁוּעַ, Yeshua (transliterated in the English Old Testament...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    And yet Paul tells us, in Hebrews 1:6 (WEB): (6) When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Why have you changed Lord to LORD and claimed that it is YHWH? It is simply Lord; it is not God's name. Why did you deliberatley leave out the rest of the sentence? Philippians 2:11 (WEB): (11) and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father...

    Still repeating the same old post over and over, eh? I count that's 15 times in this thread now. Please stop! :rolleyes:

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Seeing as it is nearly Easter (it's Good Friday tomorrow), it's a good time to consider the words of Jesus when he was hanging on the cross. He said, Matthew 27:46 (WEB): (46) About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    What did Jesus say was the greatest commandment? Mark 12:28-31 (WEB): (28) One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?” (29) Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Jesus interpreted it as follows, Matthew 22:31-32 (WEB): (31) But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, (32) ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?’ God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    So it's referring to God (all of God, not just a part of God) and the Lamb (Jesus). That's two separate beings - God and God's son Jesus. How do you find servants in 1 Corinthians chapters 12-15? I only see references to members of the body of Christ (the Church) and to every human being (the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    How do you deduce that from: (3) There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him. (4) They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. (5) There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God...
