People talk as if "God" is a race of beings, a corporation, or a family name that is inherited. Others imagine that it is an invisible substance shared by several people. Is that really what the word "God" means in the Scriptures?

Early Christians read and quoted continually from the Greek version of the OT that existed in their time. The same word is used a lot in the LXX, and here I will cite some of those examples: So, what the facts show? Did the Christian writers of the NT believe that the Greek word προσκυνέω...

That is what you are saying about my posts. But the facts show something different. Look what you just said after that: And this you said before: So, who is attacking whom? I'm just glossing over your attacks and focusing on the important points of the topic. I can continue showing what the...

You have realized that some beliefs you have held are not biblical. It is wise of you to rectify your doctrines when you realize that you were wrong. Perhaps you should also study the subject of Jesus Christ further. Why does the Bible call him "the firstborn of all creation" in Col. 1:15, and...

I understand you're seeking a rationale for believing that Jesus had no beginning. This belief is part of the teachings you've received, rooted in religions that adopted the doctrine of the Trinity from the fourth-century apostate church. Since that time, the concept of a triune God and a Christ...

Continue reading the passage: Col. 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or...

Jesus himself said: John 6:57 (...) the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father (...) 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. (...) In this way he publicly acknowledged that his life had a beginning. When did Jesus' life begin, in heaven or on earth?

That is a common mistake: implying that Jesus had no beginning because he already existed at the beginning. If I say: "I was a Jehovah's Witness before you were born", or "I was in the Soviet Union at the beginning of its downfall" ... do any of these expressions mean that I have always...

Paul is talking there. Paul never considered Jesus to be God. While speaking to non-Jews in Athens, he utilized rhetoric about an "unknown God" whom the pagans feared, prompting them to erect an altar to avoid wrath. Paul explained to them that this unknown God was actually the Father of...

I think you didn't actually read the texts. Rev. 21:5 And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” 6 And he said to me: “They have come to pass! I am the Alʹpha and the O·meʹga, the beginning and the...

In Rev. 1:8 is God the one talking, not Jesus. Jesus is not called with the term Almighty, because Jesus has a God. The only one who can be Almighty is the God of gods: the Father. Meditate in the account in Rev. 5. It starts like this: Rev. 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of the One seated...

Again: that is false as demonstrated in the post you just quoted. Please, don't repeat the same. Stop playing and move to the next point. The Scriptures are clear. The triune-godhead is not a teaching of Jesus or any Christian who followed him in the first century.

That Jesus is a god, but not the God that no one has seen. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. 2 This one was in the beginning with God. ... 14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as...

You think that is Jesus talking, but it's not. The One talking there is God. In the whole book of Revelation, GOD, the Majesty of the Universe, is sitting on the throne. In chapter 5 Jesus, the Lamb, take a roll from his hand. After that, we read: Rev. 5:9 And they sing a new song, saying...

At the bottom of the page is the translation of each word in English. Most older manuscripts have "only-begotten god" instead "only-begotten Son" in John 1:18.

That is false. How could it be possible for God to demand that his servants know him and yet be a mystery to prevent them from doing so? John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. If God is a mystery as...

The apostle John, the one who lived longer, until the end of the 1st century, never believed in a "triune-godhead". In the year 96 he wrote about Jesus: Rev. 1:6 (...) he made us to be a kingdom, priests to his God and Father—yes, to him be the glory and the might forever. Amen.

You can visit this website and consult John 1:18 in some manuscripts, and you'll learn what you don't know about that verse. https://greekcntr.org/collation/index.htm?v=43001018

Read the whole chapter: John 1:14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of divine favor and truth. (...) 18 No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is at...

He did not say "I am more pre-eminent than Abraham," but rather "Before Abraham was, I was." The passage needs to be twisted to change the meaning like that. The dialogue is exactly about how long Jesus has been alive. Before Abraham? YES. That is the point that Jesus is making to them, to...
