    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    If you take Jesus at his word, then he says that he is not God, but he does claim to be God's son. Jesus doesn't refer to himself as "I am"; that expression is just part of a normal sentence. I don't find any evidence in the Bible of Jesus referring to himself by God's name YHVH nor by the "I...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    If you don't write proper sentences then I can't understand what you're trying to say. You're not making any sense to me.

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    You have obvously misread what I wrote! Verse 5 is referring to Jesus, verse 17 is not - it's referring to Christians. Rev. 12 has no correlation to Mary! Yep, that's what I wrote. The woman in Rev. 12 flees and is and is persecuted by the dragon (Satan). It doesn't say the woman was the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    1 Peter 1:3 (KJV): (3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, Peter is clearly stating that God is Jesus' God, and that God is Jesus father. 2...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    A simple explanation of Revelation 12 (there are more complex explanations involving the Church, Papacy and the Roman empire, which I find less convincing), Revelation 12 (WEB): (1) A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    That is not a logical deduction. Satan existed before Abraham too, so acording to your logic then Satan is also God YHVH. And all the angels too.

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Of course that's what I believe. In my last post I quoted Romans 10:9 (WEB): (9) that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. I wouldn't have quoted that if I didn't believe it! Acts 4 (WEB)...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Yes, that is correct, firstborn can mean chief as well as the first born. Exodus 4:22 (22) You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn, Exodus 13:2 (2) “Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal...

    John 10:18 (MKJV): (18) No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I have received this commandment from My Father. Jesus had the authority, and the command, from God to lay down his life as a sacrifice for...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    (Continuing) As Jesus said in John 14:10, “the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works”. John says “the word was with [pros] God” because the word proclaimed was the word God Himself proclaimed, through the man Jesus, and the...

    A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians

    Indeed. That's why I enjoyed watching the video on the YouTube "The Trinity Delusion" channel. It's nearly 43 minutes long, so to save viewers some time I've written up a summary of what it says: John’s Prologue Occasionally we may come across a different interpretation of a passage of...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Yes, Mary was blessed, but that doesn't make her the mother of God, who should be prayed to, etc. as the Roman Catholics do. Many other people are also blessed, as Jesus taught: Mat 5: (3) “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. (4) Blessed are those who mourn...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Why are you quoting a verse which states what the Samarians thought about a man called Simon who practiced magic arts, "And they gave heed to him, because that for a long time he had astonished them by his magic arts" (verse 11)? This was the man who offered Peter and John money if they would...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    It's not a woman who crushes Satan's head, it is the seed (offspring - Jesus) who will do that - Genesis 3:15 (Darby): (15) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    Indeed! Jesus said to the thief that day, that the thief would be in paradise and that Jesus would be with him there (similarly he is with all of us today). Jesus was not in paradise that day - he was in the grave for three days. The future home of the non-Christian is not the same future...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    And from Ephesians 2 we see that the Church is a separate new creation, created from a combination of Jews and gentiles: (13) But now in Christ Jesus you [gentiles] who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. (14) For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the...

    There is no evidence to suggest that he was a follower of Jesus. Certainly the other thief wasn't because he said, “If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!” (Luke 23:39). The man to whom Jesus spoke was a thief who admitted to his crimes, which doesn't sound like a Christian to me...

    Jehovah is either God or He is not, correct?

    God had His name plainly written nearly 7,000 times in the Old Testament Scriptures. It was the Israelites who first removed, or hid, virtually all of those occurrences, and our English translations mostly follow their tradition. But the Scriptures given by God don't hide His name. The...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    The "woman" referred to in Isaiah 54 is clearly symbolically referring to the nation of Israel, not a literal woman. Verse 7 and the last verse say: (7) “For a small moment I have forsaken you; but I will gather you with great mercies. (Referring to the regathering of the scattered...

    Christians are not under the New Covenant

    You have not explained it! You merely stated your interpretation. That doen't make it the truth, neither does it persuade me to believe you! You've not explained how you connect up the 144,000 Jews to be "sons". The 144,000 Jews, referred to as servants and not sons (Revelation 7:3), are...
