God guides us to the truth throughout our lives; He doesn't reveal all of the truth to us instantly. We are all at different stages along that path, so it's not surprising that there is some disagreement among Christians. 1 Corinthians 13: 9) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10)...

God is a spirit (John 4:24) and God's spirit coming upon or into people is God at work (or God's spirit at work, God's holy spirit). Ephesians 3:20) Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, The Holy Spirit is...

Colossians 1:15 (WEB, MKJV, ASV, Darby, etc.): "who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation". It looks like it's only a few modern translations like NIV, NLT and NKJV that translate it as "over all creation". Emmanuel means 'god with us' not 'Yahweh with us'. Jesus...

No, but it does show that the Scriptures were altered in an attempt to falsely insert support for the man-made doctrine of the Trinity. Irrelevant. The apostle Paul denied the Trinity: "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus...

And yet the original subject of this thread was to show that the Trinity text was added centuries after Matthew wrote his Gospel. It originally did not contain the words "baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit".

You keep repeating those collection of words without any explanation of why you grouped them together and what they're supposed to mean. It's meaningless! To teach that there is only one almighty god, and that there is no other god, or being, that is His superior or His equal. A more proper...

That's a poor translation. The "Word was God" could (and should) be more accurately translated as "Word was a God", "a god was the Word", "Word was divine" or "what God was, the Word was". See John 1:1 - Wikipedia which mentions that an Eastern/Greek Orthodox Bible commentary notes: This...

Yes. But I still don't understand what your're saying by, or how you came up with:

Where do you get that from? And what does it mean or prove?

I believe I have been acting like the Bereans. I have spent many, many hours searching the Bible to see if the Trinity doctrine is correct, and I have concluded that it is not correct. Luke (in Acts 17) commends the Bereans for not just believing what others told them, but instead they checked...

I will continue to disbelieve the Trinity while nobody is able to reasonably and logically defend the man-made doctrine, and because there is so much evidence contrary to the Trinity doctrine in the Bible. Isaiah 1:18) “Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh: ...

As soon as men made it up the Trinity! There was opposition to it for a long time.

That's for you to decide, by doing your own Bible study. In Acts 17 (MKJV): 10) And the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. They, when they arrived, went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11) And these were more noble than those of Thessalonica, in that they...

No, I can't see how I have misinterpreted it. The Scriptures are meant for everyone, and certainly all Christians, not just some elite group who want to tell others what they should and shouldn't believe.

I would say that Jesus is good, but Jesus is humble and therefore would not claim to be good. Jesus said, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:29). Matthew 19:17 (WEB): He said to him, “Why do you...

So are you now arguing that Jesus is not a divine person (and therefore is not God)? You really must be confused! God anointed and appointed His son Jesus to be the saviour of mankind. That is why there is no other name than Jesus (Yeshua) by which we can be saved. God's appointed person for...

An alternative conclusion is that when most biblical scholars wrote concerning Matthew 28:19 they did not have access to the information about the Hebrew translation of Matthew (which was only translated into English in 1987), and the sources of quotes of Matthew 28:19 in early writings. Paul's...

We can only be come confident that our interpretation of the Scriptures is correct if our interpretation is in harmony with the Scriptures. So if we find a verse or verses which don't seem to fit with our understanding then we should question if our interpretation was correct or not. If we...

Hmm. What you said in post #270 was: I don't see any mention of you referring to catholicism there. :confused:

See my reply in post #58. In that I wrote: I don't think it still exists (that I know of) but in 1380 a Spanish Jewish Rabbi called Shem-Tob ben Isaac Shaprut published a work called Eben Boḥan (The Touchstone) in which he included the complete Gospel. As I mentioned in my first post, in 1987...
