Honestly, I cannot make out KJV. When I get the chance, I’ll read a modern translation and get back to you.

Are they Paul's words or the words of the Holy Spirit of God? If you read St Augustine, you would know that revealed truth does not have to come from the intent of the words that birthed the revelation to the hearer/reader by the power of the HS. If you have not experienced what I am talking...

The NLT puts it this way: 28 Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” Do you grasp the difference between MORE and LESS? Mary was less blessed for birthing the Messiah than everyone who hears the word of God (and puts it into practice).

You do not seem to grasp the purpose of a translation.

If the trinity were in the Bible, there would be no reason for the HS to reveal it in the 4th century.

You cannot actually believe that Jesus lied, held out is nature as the suffering servant of God was just a ruse.

What answer do you get?

I’ve elaborated in dozens of posts already. Let me simplify. What does a singular pronoun in a sentence signify?

As usual, you have things backwards. P1. The trinity is not in the Bible. P2. Moreover, there is much more evidence against the trinity in the Bible. C. Therefore, I reject the trinity.

Don’t tell me what I meant by what I said.

Words are not literally people or beings.

Is there no way to reconcile these schools of thought? Our entire justice system & morality is based on Free Will. Having said that, I am not limiting God, who exists outside of time, to know ahead of time, what all our choices will be. Should we let all the prisoners out and defund the police...

Circular reasoning. The KJV translators imposed their trinitarian idolatry onto the text. I doubt they were even conscious of doing it. If 3 agree, we all KNOW what that 3 MUST be, right? The trinity is not in the Bible. So, make it so. HINT: Changing the word of God is not inspired by the Lord.

You mean, man made doctrine in the 4th century.

The KJV has many errors. Well intentioned translators but fallible. The errors of the KJV is not why I do not read it. It's (near) Middle English is what disqualifies it for my use. It's virtually unreadable to me, very unpleasant. Another poster said they had to keep referring to the...

The logic is sound. If P2 were correct, C would be correct. You are confusing what is logical with what is true. But you are playing word games. Did you admit that it is plausible that James is the biological brother of Jesus, based on the text?

Agreed. Bad translations, trinitarian translations, falsely equate the LORD God with lord/Lord. CAPITAL <> lowercase. I've noticed Biblegateway.com does this with the word LORD when you copy and paste it, it converts to Lord in many cases. Very disingenuous. In devotional reading NSRV this...

LOL Generally speaking, words are not alive.

So, one of the ways one knows trinitarians are are projecting their doctrine onto the text is to rely on Jesus supposedly claiming divinity. I offer this verse for your consideration. Jesus: 54 If I were trying to make Myself somebody important, it would be a waste of time. That kind of fame is...

One of the things my church emphasizes, one of their mantra's is, God's job is results; Our job is obedience. In context it means that our job is to spread the Good News. How many are saved is above our pay grade.
