God is a spirit person (see New Bible Dictionary - p. 427), which means that he does not have a material body, but a spiritual one: We read, “If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one” (1 Cor. 15:44; John 4:24). God, being an individual, a person with a spirit body, has a...
ELOHIM (Plural)
That the Hebrew plural is often used for a singular noun to denote “a ‘plural’ of majesty or excellence” is well-known by all Biblical Hebrew language experts and has been known from at least the time of Gesenius (1786-1842), who is still regarded as one of the best authorities...

“In this verse also God is in the plural and word one means united as one
The Shema doesnt have God in the plural either
The Shema is a bad translation to fit a theological belief"

Echad (‘Plural’ Oneness)
I have seen Deut. 6:4 - “YHWH [Jehovah/Yahweh] our God, YHWH [Jehovah/Yahweh] one [Echad] in Hebrew]” - rendered in several ways. (I prefer "Jehovah [is] our God, Jehovah alone.") Some trinitarians misinterpret this. They often say something like this: “At Deut...
D.K.: Fact is until Charles Taze Russell 1900 years after Jesus not one bible had the letter "A" in John 1!

How do we know that Thomas' exclamation is a praise directed to God the Father?
Thomas had said (verse :25) that unless something happened he would “not believe.” What was it that Thomas refused to believe? Was it that he refused to believe...
1 Jn 5:20 -
“We are in him that is true [alethinos], even in his Son, Jesus Christ. This [outos] is the true [alethinos] God, and eternal life.” - KJV.
Some trinitarians actually insist that the word “this” (outos) here refers to Jesus. In other words, “[Jesus Christ] is the true God...

#41 Faith, Believe
Bowman claims the NWT is attempting to “obscure the truth” by “the rendering of ‘exercise faith’ instead of ‘believe.’” (John 3:16)
But the word usually translated ‘believe’ in many Bibles (pisteuo) may honestly be rendered ‘exercise faith,’ which implies certain action on...

God and gods
Notice how many non-JWs understand that 'a god' and 'gods' can be used for God-serving persons.
The NIV Study Bible, Zondervan, 1985 clearly recognizes the truth about the lesser meaning of theos and elohim ('a god'):
"In the...
“I am told that the word "being" means that He has always been and always will be…”
But ὤν (meaning “being”) is also found at John 7:50 and 11:51, KJV and NASB.
John 7:50 - “Nicodemus (he who came to Him before, being [ὤν] (one of them) *said to them,”- NASB. Obviously Nicodemus hadn’t always...
Obviously I was wrong. You clearly won't examine and reply to anything (no matter how simple) that might contradict your mindset.
It is useless to try to get an honest answer from you. All one can do is answer YOUR statements and go on. You repeatedly talk about dishonest JW material, but...
