    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    I didn’t see “human person” when I skimmed it. I did see “human being”. Jesus isn’t two beings. He isn’t a deity being and a human being. One of the Catholic articles I’ve posted makes this point. In trinitarianism, he is a deity being only, and the deity being took on impersonal human nature...

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    Following is a list of all 195 occurrences of the Hebrew word adoni in scripture. We can use any translation with the list. If the translation doesn’t say “lord” then the translation is incorrect. Genesis 18:12 Genesis 23:6 Genesis 23:11 Genesis 23:15 Genesis 24:12 Genesis 24:12 Genesis 24:14...

    Have you been taught that Jesus is not a human person?

    Psalm 110:1 does refer to the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    What about the article confuses you? Dr. Craig is telling us straight up what trinitarianism has taught since the 4th century. Catholic scholars tell us the exact same thing. Have you heard it in the churches you’ve attended? I seriously doubt it.

    *** That’s right. Jesus himself is a Jew. He didn’t think of himself as a non-human person. ***

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    Trinitarianism strikes back - here via a Baptist scholar, because JAT isn’t properly trained and equipped to do it: ”There is only one person who is Christ, and that person is divine. Thus, there is no human person named ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ Jesus is a divine person, and medieval theologians...

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    I think David and many others besides and in addition to him thought they were anointed. I don’t believe any of them believed that they themselves were the Messiah.

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    The point in scripture about Jesus is that he is “the Christ, the Son of God” (John 20:31). That’s it. That’s all. For more than that we must go outside of scripture to post-biblical interpretation of scripture. That’s where the Ante-Nicene Fathers enter the picture. People like Justin Martyr...

    Jesus is the son of God and the son of David (and the son of Abraham).

    David’s master / lord, the Messiah, is a human person.

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    Masoretic text (Hebrew) - adoni = lord (English) Septuagint text (Greek) - kurios = lord (English) adoni = kurios = lord. Yahweh speaks to my adoni / kurios / lord. Yahweh speaks in the prophetic oracle to a human. The link places the Hebrew and the correct translation in English side by...

    Jesus is claiming to be the Messiah. He isn’t claiming to be Yahweh.

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    The Hebrew and the Greek are correctly translated in English as “lord”. David was not inspired to write “Yahweh says [or said] to my Yahweh”. Yahweh is speaking to someone who is not Yahweh.

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    All of the Hebrew manuscripts say the same thing in Psalm 110:1. Mark is probably reading from the Septuagint (the Hebrew Bible translated into Greek). The Septuagint agrees with the Hebrew. The translators are showing their bias again. Why is the [unnamed] Messiah called “my lord,” in both...

    Bible Gateway lists 19 Spanish translations. Salmos 110:1 - Bible Gateway 13 of the translations translate Psalm 110:1 incorrectly; 6 of the translations translate Psalm 110:1 correctly.

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    That’s a great point. I don’t read Spanish but on a whim I checked to see if the the Lockman Foundation publishes a Spanish translation. Yes, they do. Do they repeat the mistranslation of Psalm 110:1 in their Spanish translation? Yes, they do. Bible Gateway passage: Salmos 110:1 - La Biblia...

    Good points. What do you think about NKJV mistranslating Psalm 110:1?

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    Of course. The prophecy in Psalm 110:1 is ultimately fulfilled in him. Any attempt to intentionally misreport the Hebrew is an intentional attempt to mislead readers.
