According to your theology, if his good deeds, like being a great father, gave to the Red Cross, ran an animal rescue shelter, he will get off because his good deeds will outweigh his adultery, after all, he never raped the women, and in each case it took two to tango and both got move and...

Yep. That's the point. We sin and will be found guilty in the Judgment. Letting people off crimes against God because of some good deeds goes against natural justice, and makes God unjust. Are you going to share heaven with Adolf Hitler who slaughtered 20 million people, because he got the...

Good that you have made that clear! :-)

You are being true to your theology that we will be judged on the balance between good and bad deeds and if the balance tips over to good deeds, God will forgive your bad deeds and let you into heaven.

None. The Scripture says, "There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:10).

:rolleyes:

I now have completed my analysis. Giving credit where credit is due, our friend has done a lot of work and research to try and justify his thesis, and I believe that he is sincere in this attempt to prove the trinity through a defence of 1 John 5:7. His thesis is convincing and has a lot of...

I really don't think that there was a removal of the Father Son and Holy Spirit from the original manuscripts because of anti-trinitarian heretics. I believe it was added to reinforce the trinity for true believers. Just because John did not originally write the sentence, doesn't make the...

It is interesting that Peter and Paul baptised believers in the name of Jesus, and there are no references of anyone being baptised with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit formula. That is not to say that baptising believers with that formula is wrong, because I was baptised that way. What I...

All these would have no problem with the addition to 1 John 5:7 in the manuscripts they had, because they would have a firm belief in the trinity, according to the Apostles and Nicene creeds which clearly stated that God was triune. So there is no support for saying that modern translations of...

This doesn't discount the possibility that the "Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit" were added around 250AD to reinforce the Church's teaching concerning the trinity. It is possible that it was added for sincere reasons - to counter modalism and "Jesus only" heresies that were invading the...

Nothing is proved either way in this section.

I've now done my analysis of part 2, and the actual Greek text I have makes things very clear to me that John is not teaching trinity in that part of his letter at all. Have a read of it.

Making a link between John 10:30 and 1 John 5:7 is somewhat tenuous. This is because "I am my Father are one" can be interpreted different ways. The literal interpretation could be that Jesus and the Father are exactly the same person. Another interpretation could be that Jesus and the Father...

I got my Interlinear Greek New Testament out and made an interesting discovery. I responded to part one of our friend's lengthy defence of the KJV version of 1 John 5:7, and you might find it interesting reading.

The 21st edition of Rberhard Nestle's Novum Testamentum Graece, the original of which was discovered after the Textus Receptus is, after generations of careful research by many scholars, is the more reliable Greek text. In this text, read from Alfred Marshal, The Interlinear Greek New...

Various Bible Interpretations in re: to the Trinity This one works.

edited. Duplicate post.

I will read it and analyse it according to my very opinionated theology! :-) Being "locked down" I have nothing better to do right now!

As you can see by my posts, I certainly don't compromise the gospel of Christ in any way, and I am soundly based on the foundation of Puritan Reformed theology and I will defend it to the max. I also am adamant that Genesis 1-11 is accurate history and not myth. I got banned for three months...
