    Father alone is God

    1 Tim. 3:16 ("God was manifest in the flesh") As this is translated in the KJV it makes Paul say that Jesus is God “manifest in the flesh.” Although the KJV translates 1 Tim. 3:16 with “God” as above, nearly all other translations today use a word which refers, not to God, but to Jesus: “he”...

    Jesus and helpful notes on the Λογος (Logos) of John 1:1

    John 1:1c - "a god" W. E. Vine, (although, for obvious reasons, he and the rest of the trinitarian scholars listed here, choose not to accept it as the proper interpretation) admits that the literal translation of John 1:1c is: “a god was the Word”. - p. 490, An Expository Dictionary of New...

    I don't mean to offend anyone but can someone explain why the Trinity doctrine is held as a central

    Three views were advocated at the Nicene council of 325 AD. (Actually, the real question to be decided at this council was only the first step by Alexandrian philosophizers [and their Roman sympathizers] toward establishing a new doctrine of God. The question here was only, “Is Jesus...

    The Holy Spirit as a "she"

    We should be aware that every important, oft-mentioned individual in both testaments has a personal name. God is YHWH (Jehovah/Yahweh/Yehowah); God's only-begotten Son is Yehoshua/Iesus; the Holy Spirit's personal name is ?????. That's right this extremely important 'person' is never given a...

    The Holy Spirit as a "she"

    In the Old Testament (OT) it is clear that the inspired Bible writers intended holy spirit to be understood as an invisible, powerful force from God. Even many trinitarian scholars will admit that. For example, p. 269, The Catholic Encyclopedia, 1976, admits: “In the OT the Holy Spirit means...

    Trinity: True or False?

    “The Emperor himself presided over the critical session [at Nicaea], and it was he who proposed the reconciling word, homoousios (Greek for ‘of one essence’), to describe Christ’s relationship to the Father (though it was probably one of his ecclesiastical advisers, Ossius [Hosius] of Cordova...

    Trinity: True or False?

    Father alone is God

    "So what about John 3:16 or John 3:18 ?? Do you want to explain what John 3:16 mean ?? "By the way, the word ‘begotten’ in John 3:16 is a fabrication and that’s why most of the English-translated versions of the Bible you have today (except the King James Version) has removed the word...

    Name of God is God

    The only personal Name of God, “Jehovah” in customary English form (or possibly “Yahweh/Yehowah” in ancient Hebrew form), has been removed in most “orthodox” translations from all (or nearly all) the 6000+ places it actually occurs in the ancient manuscripts of the Old Testament! The...

    Father alone is God

    "5. And when you refer to John 1:14, notice that there is no definitive article which means its a descriptive sentence, not definitive. Its a uniqueness, not definitely "the only born child of God". And if you want it to be that, then the Bible has a discrepancy." What about the article use...

    So Jesus is not God?

    Is. 9:6 is usually translated in trinitarian-translated Bibles as: “For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His shoulders; and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” - NASB. Even most...

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    William Dool Killen (1806–1902) lived from early 19th century to early 20th century. Joseph Barber Lightfoot (13 April 1828 – 21 December 1889) lived from early 19th century to late 19th century. In fact, Killen's words were from his rebuttal of Lightfoot.

    Watchtower: Jesus is not "a god"!

    “I and my Father are one” Trinitarians want to believe that Jesus was implying that he and his Father together make up one God. But there isn’t even the slightest suggestion that he intended the word “God” to be understood as being included in this statement. Instead, context and NT Greek...

    So Jesus is not God?

    Despite Trinitarians finding 'proofs' in the Gospel of John of Jesus being equally God with the Father, they can't explain why John clearly states that the purpose of his Gospel is to declare [not the blockbuster, essential information that Jesus is God] that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God...
