ESV markets itself as the most literal translation available. NSRV is the only translation approved by Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and Protestants. The Bible is highly figurative, rendering adherence to literal translations a bit silly. Frankly, a literal translation does not render proper 21st...

No. This is not how language is used. One simply says A is A. No other need to reference form - unless one has an agenda to abuse language.

I read 6 translations and often refer to the one I was recently reading when something comes up in online conversations. I've found depending on the verse, certain translations come alive for me more than others. The translations I read are: CEV - Read Devotionally (Love Most Ps 82:1) NLT -...

Form? There are several verses that star God chose Jesus as his servant. No form in the text. Acts 17:31 Complete Jewish Bible 31 For he has set a Day when he will judge the inhabited world, and do it justly, by means of a man whom he has designated. And he has given public proof of it by...

First, there is absolutely no verse in scripture that states Jesus is God, period. There are many verses that explicitly state God is alone, the LORD, our Father. And there are many verses where Jesus himself said God is greater than him. As for the implied verses ... Trinitarians deliberately...

Jesus is not God, fully or otherwise. The way we know this is that Jesus died. From Scripture, God the Father is associated many, many times. NEVER in Scripture is Jesus referred to as God the Son. Jesus said this over and over again, that his Father is God. Jesus is, as I am, a son of God. He...

God never declares Himself as 3 Persons of the Godhead. If you do not understand "You shall have no other gods before me", then you cannot understand how God declares himself the LORD alone in the most important commandment. “Listen, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone Deuteronomy...

None of the Apostles called Jesus their God. (Sad reliance on non-explicit verses). John 1:1 does not even reference Jesus. Unbelievable!

That is not true at all. I quoted the relevant part of the verse, which is about God, who alone is the Father. (Note the use of single quotes) I know you are desperate to find a distraction, 'For us, there is one God, the Father.' To this, you attempt to distract. I get it. I'll leave you to...

Again, where is that in the Bible? Nowhere. I'm not sure what kind of threat you think this is but you can call me whatever you want for it makes no difference to me or the master and savior I serve. The only God is Jesus' God. Not any more than the rest of us. Why do you even ask?

Thank you. I'm glad I hesitated posting in this thread. The posts contain assertions, not even arguments. So they are exceedingly weak. Your question is invalid as it has a flawed implied premise. Since the trinity is not in the Bible - not the word and not the doctrine - one cannot rationally...

You and your word of the day. Still, you fail to grasp the definition of your own word.

You are only occasionally hijacking a thread by introducing verses other than what the OP is about, Acts 2:36.

A poster said this. Not the word of God. See Acts 2:36.

The Word of God, nonetheless.

Fascinating. Why you are hijacking a thread not about this is clear. You don’t want to address Scripture that undermines your doctrine.

Another attempt to divert by referring to another verse not the subject of this thread. This most famous verse says Jesus was created, made and begotten by God. Trinitarians want to change the meaning of the word "begotten" to mean something other than made and created (specifically pro-created)...

This is trinitarian doctrine contrary to all of Scripture, including the only verse under discussion in this thread. Acts 2:36. Anytime one reads "God" in a passage juxtaposed with Jesus, one should read "in his unitarian nature. God, in his unitarian nature made Jesus. This is what Acts 2:36...

Re-read the question of the OP and the many linguistic analysis posts. God made Jesus ... Ergo, Jesus is not God.

Having received a revelation from the Holy Spirit, I am a witness to this question. In my case, the Words I received were for individuals, not the world. So, while my Revelations were for specific people, I believe Scripture is meant for man universally. Hope you understand what I’m saying here.
