The Codex Vaticanus gets its name from the place where it is stored the Vatican library. It is regarded as the oldest and rarest existing Greek copy of the Bible. It has been dated to around 350 AD. It’s over 90% intact which is incredible for a manuscript its age. The reason it’s rare is...

So how did we end up with changes and verses being deleted out of the Bible? Let’s review quickly: At the end of the 3rd century, Lucian of Antioch compiled a Greek text that achieved considerable popularity and became the dominant text throughout Christendom. It was produced prior to the...

I like the NKJV, the NASB95 and the Net Bible Full Notes Edition. The NET is available online for free. It has the most extensive notes I've ever seen.

I didn't mean to be disrespectful. My ex father in law was UPC and his beliefs were a lot like yours. Nothing defamatory or crazy about it.

I consistently find scripture that affirms the deity of Christ.

No I think he believes in a single deity. His belief is that Jesus is the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. Pentecostal Oneness.

You would know where to find Trinitarians who disagree with what I posted better than I would. It is good to provide opposing viewpoints but I'm trying to support my position.

Wrangler said "No, I'm untwising trinitarian double speak." But you're not responding to a Trinitarian.

I'm trying to support my position. Surely you're not going to post every variation of Unitarianism.

The Trinity matters because this is who God is. It’s who he always was and would’ve been even if there had been no you, no me, and no heavens and earth. The question isn’t first and foremost, “Is this practical?” or “Will this be on the test?” The question is “Do I want to know God?” As Fred...

Did you ever notice that even in John 3:16 you’re already wading into trinitarian waters? Don’t get me wrong—I’m not saying that the whole doctrine is here full-blown (you’ll need the rest of John’s Gospel to get the Holy Spirit, including a few verses earlier in 3:5). But just think about all...

Romans 9:5 tn Grk “of whom are the fathers.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. tn Grk “from whom.” Here the relative pronoun has been replaced by a personal pronoun. tn Grk “according to the flesh.” tn Or “Messiah.”...

1 John 5:20 tn The ἵνα (hina) introduces a purpose clause which gives the purpose of the preceding affirmation: “we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight (so that we may) know him who is true.” sn The pronoun This one (οὗτος, houtos) refers to a person, but it is far from...

Titus 2:13 tn Grk “the blessed hope and glorious appearing.” tn The terms “God and Savior” both refer to the same person, Jesus Christ. This is one of the clearest statements in the NT concerning the deity of Christ. The construction in Greek is known as the Granville Sharp rule, named after the...

2 Thessalonians 1:12 12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. tn Or “by means of.”

Colossians 2:2 tn Verse two begins a subordinate ἵνα (hina) clause which was divided up into two sentences for the sake of clarity in English. Thus the phrase “My goal is that” is an attempt to reflect in the translation the purpose expressed through the ἵνα clauses. tn BDAG 956 s.v. συμβιβάζω...
