Top 10 Trinitarian Mistranslations In The New Testament (Part 1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- In this video, some of the biggest Trinitarian Mistranslations are explained. The video primarily focuses on verses that are translated in a Trinitarian way but do not have strong manuscript support for that translation. In fact, in many of these verses, a Unitarian reading is preferable and has more support in the manuscripts and the context. The speaker then asks the audience what implications these verses would have, if properly translated, on one’s understanding of the Trinity and God.
Verses: John 1:18; Acts 20:28; 1 Tim. 3:16; 1 John 5:7-8; Jude 1:5

The dogma of the Trinity is not found in Scripture.
@@aussierob7177 so it’s a lie then man made
@@aussierob7177 is not dogma but orthodox doctrine. You apparently are a heretic like Jehovah’s Witness?
I was raised (browbeaten) mindlessly into the Roman Catholic Trinity dogma. Graduating from RC grade school and high school. It just never made sense. I starting reading the bible and what spiritual deliverance and clearer understanding of the scriptures came to me when I saw the light. Jesus is THE Son of God and not part of a three headed idol.
How were you of the opinion that Jesus was part of a "three headed idol". That is not Catholic teaching .
Jesus is THE Son of God and GOD that is part of the Triune God of the Bible.
You, people, who deny this Jesus as God made flesh are antichrists. Plain and simple.
The God of the Bible Trinity: "Yahweh, Our God, Yahweh are one" whether you like it or not.

Tragically, the cult of the trinity is part of this world, involving itself in the political and military establishments of the nations. Whereas Jesus said that his followers are no part of this world. John 17:16. They are neutral and consist of an international united peaceful brotherhood. These are the true Christians. And as Jesus identified them, they only worship the Father, NOT Jesus, NOR a mysterious trinity. John 4:23.

The closer the manuscripts were written to Alexandria, the more Trinitarian they were. Remember that the Romans had many gods and they were OK with the Trinitarian viewpoint. They were trying to figure out who Jesus was. The church, overstepped their boundaries and did not listen to anything Jesus said, and came up with their own views of Jesus.
Basically lol. That is what hijackers do. Romans mixed their paganism with the Bible. They practiced Syncretism
Matthew 28:18 disproves the TRinity
Jesus was given authority by his father. If he's given authority, then he isnt co equal, and thus, the trinity falls apart
Trinity gods of babylon,three gods..
"The Church doesn't determine what the Bible teaches. The Bible determines what the Church teaches."
I wish Trinitarians truly understood this concept, and stopped superimposing the Trinity Doctrine or Theory upon the scriptures and their supporters.

Jesus called Himself God.

You don’t have a problem with the Trinity, you have a problem with the deity of Jesus. Trinitarians give Jesus the “rank” of God, one of several distinct entities of equal rank, but Monarchians agree with the Bible record that Jesus is the express image of the invisible God. As God in flesh, Jesus is more than deity - Jesus is Yahweh Himself!!!
Paul says that Jesus was the rock that followed behind( exodus). They need the godman like a drug. Nice video. 10 out of 10.

The term begotten simply means to be born again of the Fathers incorruptible seed. It doesn't mean to be born without a human Father.
Unfortunately many Trinitarians have been taught the tradition ‘the infallible inerrant word of God’. Any mention of textual criticism and they stop listening.
They like what it says the way the KJV was translated.
They also like the way the KJV is interpeted by catholic trinitarian religion.
this is absolute nonsense
The trinitarian interpolation of the KJV is the problem. They try to use it to prove they have three gods.

never build your entire theology

Worse yet is to build your entire theology on what the Bible refers to as the spirit of Antichrist which denies that Jesus is God manifested in the flesh.
Good job, brother!!
I say often to Christians, "Your version is your doctrine." Now there is a new bible version for the LGBT people.
For those who still believe "Jesus=God," read the Holy Scripture: Mark 12:29-34, John 17:3, 1 Tim 2:6, Eph. 4:6, 1 Cor. 8:6.
Be blessed. 🕎🙏
Yep, people put a little too much "faith" (lol) in English versions
Very clear and logical discussion of these verses and translations.
In Acts 20:28, the Greek word translated "his own" is an adjective. And that adjective modifies the noun "blood". There's no basis, other than theological bias, for separating "his own" from "blood" and then making "his own" the object of an additional prepositional phrase. What's more, the "his" has always referred to GOD...
Wycliffe: "...the chirche of *God,* which he purchaside with his blood."
Tyndale: "...the congregation of *God,* which he hath purchased with his blood."
Coverdale: "...the congregacion of *God,* which he hath purchaced thorow his owne bloude."
Geneva: "...the Church of *God,* which hee hath purchased with that his owne blood."
Bishops: "...the Church of *God,* which he hath purchased with his owne blood."
KJV: "...the Church of *God,* which he hath purchased with his own blood."
----------------------------
The unipersonal God _IS_ love. And the greatest demonstration of love is to lay down one's _own_ life for others. So the unipersonal God laid down his own life for us, all the way to the cross, purchasing the church with his own blood. And after he died for our sins, the unipersonal God raised himself from the dead, just as he promised: *_JESUS_*_ answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days _*_*I*_*_ will raise it up._ (John 2:19)
Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God _IS_ the unipersonal God - the God who _IS_ love - manifested in genuine human form. Repent of the heresy of -Biblical- Unitarianism, and receive the revelation of *the unipersonal God's **_self-sacrificial_** love.*
No one has seen GOD, because no one was living up to his ways and living an eternal life on earth
Thank you for this information. I hope people will share it as I am about to do. Love you Brother.
Thanks!
The content creator begins with John 1 :18 and explains that there is manuscript evidence for both renderings before giving his opinion on why 'son' should be the best option. However, he didn't fully explain which reading was found in the oldest manuscripts and seemed to see a contradiction in the text with the alternate view which he thought supported the Trinity. Is this a case of his own theological presuppositions getting in the way ? I disagree that the rendering 'only-begotten god' supports Trinitarianism. Indeed, I think the opposite is true as an 'only-begotten god' (Jesus) contrasts with the unbegotten God (YHWH). Indeed, the fact that people saw Jesus and that no man has seen God argues for Jesus being the Christ and not God Almighty. In the Greco-Roman world, someone who had been raised from the dead and exalted to heaven to the right hand of God would indeed be viewed as a god. Howevere, the term 'god' has a range of meanings and is applied to others in the Bible apart from YHWH. who is the ultimate, supreme, true God.
Having said that, I think his explanations for the rest of the scriptures are accurate and show how the presuppositions of Trinitarian scholars have influenced their translations.
There were other reasons within the context as to why "only-begotten son" is preferrable. One is that "only-begotten son" occurs three other times in the Johannine literature, but "only-begotten God" never occurs anywhere else. So, I wouldn't say theological presuppositions are driving that choice. Thanks for the comment.
@@biblicalunitarian : I understand why "only -begotten son" may be preferrable for you, but as you stated in the video, the jury is out on this one and "only-begotten god"is , I think, found in the oldest Greek manuscripts. My main point, however, is that "only-begotten god" does not support Trinitarianism.
To many people with a religious spirit will never understand the Holy Trinity or the Word of God because they are either stuck in there ways or blinded by Satan their Father. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Repent Greek word metanoia meaning change ones mind. People use their own interpretations instead of following Holy Spirit. If you don't repent before you die by putting your faith in Jesus Christ death on the cross for your sins, burial and resurrection on the 3rd day you will be casted into Hell/Lake of Fire and be eternally seperated from God. Jesus Christ is God but you are antichrist and deny his diety. 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
your kinda weird huh
Also, if Jesus is begotten, he is not co-eternal
So trinitarians contradict themselves whenever they say Jesus is the begotten son
Thoughts on RVIC version?
I thought you were going to deal with serious Trinitarian mistranslations, like Revelation 21:22, “But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.”
Trinitarians believe that God and Jesus (the Lamb) are separate persons. This explains why they would replace the word IS with the word ARE. Yup! They pluralized the verb IS (God the Lamb is the temple) into ARE (God and the Lamb are the temple). I’m just surprised that they didn’t pluralize the word TEMPLE!
Biblical Unitarian I read KJV only, you say we who believe in Trinity are wrong. Why is the name of God, Jehovah not in the N.T. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. I believe because Jesus is God, His blood saves us. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The Holy Spirit. John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. John 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. John15:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. Revelation1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. So you say the Trinity is not true , but Jesus is the word that created the world , explain the verses . Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
i prefer 1Cor 8:6 (KJV)
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

@@bobbyadkins6983 are you saying that you do not believe in christ words?
@@rafaelo2215 I asked you first. I believe the Bible, old and new testament. Now answer my question.
I'm non trinitarian, but i disagree with my biblical Unitarian brethren on one point, their denial ofthe pre-existince of Jesus as the Logos or angel of Yahweh. Yes, trinitarian brethren draw the wrong conclusion from these verses that are used to teach Christ's prehuman life, but to me Jesus coming from heaven and having been with the Father before he came as a man is clearly taught.
Both extremes are inconsistent. Just because Jesus existed in heaven first doesnt prove the Trinity, just as the fact that there is no Trinity doesn't prove that he didn't exist previous to his human life. He was a spirit son of Yahweh of the highest order, separate and distinct from Yahweh, created by Yahweh as all other angelic sons were. He didn't exist before he was created, but his creation was heavenly before it was earthly. I think this is crystal clear from Scripture. God bless 🙏
I think Paul said / Philippians 2: 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
The main point of all that was written about Jesus in the Bible is to make hebrews to see WHO was among them.
The western people read the Bible way differently from that base of reasoning and messes it all up...
Unfortunately Christians dont understand that theres a difference between elohim and Eloheim and the Greek doesnt differeniate the difference at all.
Concordant Literal New Testament is a good bible to have by ae knoch
The biggest problem is people believe without question.
SO much eisegesis going on in Christianity(?).
Not trying to be rude, but oh my goodness, the pronunciation of the Greek words. It’s really bad. God is Theos -pronounced “they-os” with the accent on the last syllable. Son is pronounced “YOS “Yos” not hos.
There are different pronunciations of Greek. I am using the old Erasmian pronunciation which I was taught in Seminary, not the modern pronunciation.
None of this explanation would even be necessary if Christian’s actually ever read the Tanach (“OT”)
I mean it literally tells you…
Exodus 33:20 “But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.”
That right there tells me Jesus is NOT god.
A question I have is why is literally every Torah scroll around the world exactly the same no matter where you go. Written word for word. But the Christian Bible has soooooooooo many translations and texts added in and taken out? Makes one wonder why anyone would consider Christianity.
This verse alone should make one pause.
כֹּ֥ה אָמַר֮ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁ֤ר יַחֲזִ֙יקוּ֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה אֲנָשִׁ֔ים מִכֹּ֖ל לְשֹׁנ֣וֹת הַגּוֹיִ֑ם וְֽהֶחֱזִ֡יקוּ בִּכְנַף֩ אִ֨ישׁ יְהוּדִ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר נֵֽלְכָה֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם כִּ֥י שָׁמַ֖עְנוּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים עִמָּכֶֽם׃ (ס)
Thus said GOD of Hosts: In those days, ten people from nations of every tongue will take hold-they will take hold of every Jew by a corner of their cloak and say, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”
not really a problem because competent trinitarianism says that god is the trinity. no one saw the trinity
It’s simple there is a Father and a Son. Yahweh the Father and Yeshua the Messiah. The Son of God. How much more evidence do we have to bring to make a clear distinction between these two people. Trinitarians, ask yourself does believing in a doctrine really depend on my salvation? No it does not on the contrary, it does not grant salvation to believe in a nature of God. Believing that Yahweh raises Yeshua up from the dead and believing that he is the MESSIAH, does grant you salvation. “If someone acknowledges that Yeshua is the Son of God, God remains united with him, and he with God.”
1 Yochanan (1 Jo) 4:15 CJB
“Everyone who believes that Yeshua is the Messiah has God as his father, and everyone who loves a father loves his offspring too.”
1 Yochanan (1 Jo) 5:1 CJB
If you worship a three-headed god, have false Jesus, and a false gospel, are you a Christian.
trinitarians have nothing to gain to defend a doctrine that seems complicated. it's not even worth defending if you want to appease the world. the trinity has a unique view on god different from other religions and says god is greater than us for being 3 persons instead of 1. that's something incomprehensible to life-forms lower than god, but still logical, like a 4D cube. unitarians have everything to gain to make sure jesus' words aren't taken as infallible, but as just an opinion lesser than the father.
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." - from jesus in revelation
you have to actively go against the natural reading already from john 1:1 and literally the rest of the bible say that god, being all powerful, didn't make it clear enough that jesus was not god. this is some nigerian prince scam theology.

Trinitarian doctrine is OT not NT. If you’re arguing that this is exclusively a NT issue you have zero credibility.
There is no trinity in the Tanakh. Not a single guy who spoke directly with God was a trinitarian, nor was it anywhere taught by anyone.
I'm not arguing that this is an exclusively NT issue, and the Trinity is certainly not in the OT.

What do you think of the new world translation?
I find that the REV, NWT, LSB, and 2001 translation are by far the best out there!!!!
Honestly, I haven't read too much of it, but in the places I've read it's not too bad, yea the 2001 Translation is pretty good too. As a translator of the REV I'm a little biased haha!
@@fkrsnofficial6095 I have my qualms with the NWT but it does have some very good explanations for their choices in wording in translation and exceptionally thorough scholarship, and I like that it has footnotes for how certain verses could be rendered in different ways too. I appreciate that.
Informative and enjoyed the brief testimony after the breakdown of the passages. Some will dismiss the facts altogether because it’s just too hard to accept our translations could have and/or stem from Trinitarian bias/corruption.
It’s much more comforting imagining that JW’s (with their NWT) are the main group guilty of making the Bible conform to a preexistent set of theological beliefs.
The NWT is no worse than the KJV. Just different biasis. At least they use God's name instead of hiding it.

@@bobbyadkins6983 how can jesus be the trinity when the trinity is jesus god :s
So just like the Gnostics, this Unitarian HATES the Preserved word of God in English(KJB) because it doesn't fit his Blasphemous Unitarian Presuppositional view of God?
Trinitarians are the ones who are blasphemers by adding to God's Word.
dang thats a lot of big words strung together
so when did Jesus speak English?
I don't hate the English "KJB" but rightly understand that it is a translation of an original text in a different language, so the goal is to get to the original meaning, and English translations are just a tool to do that. I genuinely hope you are willing to fairly evaluate evidence against the KJV-only movement, because there is a lot.
Arguments against the KJB are absurd, We can definitely agree on one thing, That the KJB is a Trinitarian Bible?
While you are right that the Trinity is invented theology and is not taught by scripture you are deluded into believing that Jesus is not God incarnate because the scriptures acknowledge this numerous times as well as Jesus himself numerous times if you do not believe that he came from heaven because he is God and not a man you all die in your sins Jesus told us this explicitly human beings come from the earth we are created on the earth and we come from it the breath of God is added to our flesh here on this planet just like it was for Adam. Christ did not come from this planet he came from heaven the eternal abode and he said if you do not believe that he did you will die in your sins the fact that he came from the eternal abode by him by itself proves that he has got incarnate. There's much more proof of this in scripture of course but this one truth refutes all ideas that Christ is not God in human flesh it is critical that you come to believe that he is because according to his own words if you do not you will die in your sins. May God help you see the truth.
@@NephilimFree You are deceived. Christ admits that the Father is greater than he is and that he cannot do anything of his own initiative, and that his authority was given to him by his Father. So if Jesus is the Father as you thus contend, then who is he talking about when he refers to the Father who gave him everything he has and who does he pray to and deflect the glory and worship to? Whose will is he appealing to in his request for the cup to pass away from him? Himself? He sends himself an angel from heaven while on earth? He sacrifices himself to himself? Seriously. Think about it.

@@chronic_daydreamer Your false theology does the following:
1. it denies that God himself suffered the penalty for sin that we deserve and that another created human, like you and me, suffered it instead. This is impossible since God cannot punish one of his creations for the sin of another, just like a human judge cannot punish one person for the crime of another. Each person is judged for their own sin, never for that of another. God has stated that he cannot commit this immoral act:
Deuteronomy 24[16] The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Matthew 16[27] For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Isaiah53[5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
2. It denies that Jesus is divine, that he is God made visible (manifest/phanaroo) in human flesh:

I conceded all five of his ten points and still believe in the Trinity! Here are a few reasons why:
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us."
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
"I and the Father are one."
"For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily."
"He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature."
"Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.'"
"Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ."
"Whoever has seen me has seen the Father."
"To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen."
"This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God."
"Thomas answered him, 'My Lord and my God!'"
"Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ."
"Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped."
"Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone."
"But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me."
Don't forget the Old Testament!
"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...'"
"And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?'"
"Draw near to me, hear this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret, from the time it came to be I have been there. And now the Lord GOD has sent me, and his Spirit."
"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced..."
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
"Then the LORD God said, 'Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil...'"

Do you agree with the conclusions in the video? What are your reasons if you disagree?
In a very real way, the Word, which was with God, and was God, has been made flesh in Jesus Christ. Deny this all you want, but "Christianity" without a divine Jesus is idolatry -- plain and simple.
Jesus can still be divine and not be God. Angels are divine. Some acts of intervention are divine, ad nauseum.
@@migtvill I think you've missed the entire point of the New Testament. The Jews of old, and the Christians of the new covenant era, didn't/don't worship creatures. We don't worship angels, semi-divine figures, lesser divinities, or human beings. We worship God alone. The Biblical testimony is clear: there is God, and there is everything else. And the gulf between them is infinite. Although the New Testament makes it very clear that Jesus was and is a real human being, it is equally clear that he is much more than a human being. Jesus is not just some highly exalted prophet or "angel." Revelation 5 describes a kind of worship of Jesus that would be idolatrous for a Jew or for a Christian were Jesus not, in some way, fully God while at the same time fully man.
I was once a unitarian myself. But I came to see that the Scriptural testimony is absolutely uncompromising in terms of what constitutes true and acceptable worship before God. Christianity is not about human beings or angels saving mankind. It is about the work that GOD has done. Jesus receives divine worship because he is God in the flesh.
@@wordwarrior1974He never suggested or even inferred to worship anyone other than God. In fact, if he is doing this to separate worship away from Jesus, then it's because this issue matters to him and in sincerity, succint and direct to the very point you are saying. To worship only God. You made a point as if a divine thing was only God. You should have been more specific on your first statement. Now, you are making it out to be that he is saying to worship Jesus if he is not God. Which at no point in time did he say. Please refine your arguments or your thinking and I doubt very much you heard him out entirely.
@@wordwarrior1974As far as the text for worship of the Lamb, read Revelations 20, where God concedes His throne to the Lamb for 1000 years. Meaning literal or symbolic, Christ reigns for a limited time.
@@migtvill I take full responsibility for not being clear, if there was anything that I said that was not clear.
As I said, I was once a unitarian, so I know the arguments inside and out. I did not mean to imply that this guy is saying to worship Jesus even though (in his view) he is not God. You missed my point entirely. A unitarian may agree with me that only God should be worshipped. And he may claim that the New Testament doesn't present Jesus as God, and therefore Jesus shouldn't be worshipped (at least not "as God"). But the New Testament would disagree. The New Testament DOES present Jesus as God. When you see the patterns of Old Testament passages being applied to Jesus in the NT (numerous examples); recognize that certain Old Testament passages could ONLY be fulfilled by Jesus (for example, Zechariah 14); that language is used in the New Testament indicating that Jesus is God in the flesh; and that Jesus is exalted to a place that is not compatible with monotheism if he were NOT God; then it becomes clear what his true identity is. I invite all unitarians to think on this, pray on it, and above all study Scripture in a translation that has not been compromised. See the UA-cam channel "Truth is Christ" for why the King James has been signed and sealed by God.
Read the KJV, the most accurate translation among all bible versions. There is no such thing as the only begotten God for God exist Himself, and no one knows how God existed. It should be begotten Son as read in the KJV. God the Father called the Son also God. In OT, the Son was also called God. The Trinity is indeed taught in the bible.
No, it is not. That is a pagan catholic lie. It began in 381 A.D., when the trinitarian religion was invented. No one ever believed that God was a trinity until then. Jesus did not believe, that God is a trinity. The Apostles did not believe that God is a trinity. The Hebrews, Israelites, and Jews did not believe that God is a trinity.

Care to discuss why 'the' son of man is always referred to in the 3rd person by Jesus?
Let me know.
Shalom.
The New Testament does make it pretty clear that Jesus is the Son of Man, but I’ve heard an interesting hypothesis that perhaps Jesus didn’t actually _know_ he was the Son of Man during his lifetime, and that only after his resurrection did God make him the Son of Man/reveal that to him. Many critical scholars think it’s possible or even likely that Jesus preached about a coming Son of Man who wasn’t himself, so perhaps that’s true. 🤷♂️
@@dalesajdak422 - I have a different explanation. Most are quick to hear 'son of man' and assume a 'complimentary' context. The same goes for 'sons of God - psalm 82 clearly indicates otherwise.
With regards to 'a' son of man, it is pointed out in Numbers 23:19, that the 'son of man' needs to repent... and thus a binary 'gate' appears - FOR or AGAINST.
We know that the son of man has a quandary with 'faith', and that it requires faith in order to please God.
I then found an interesting example in Ezekiel. When Ezekiel is called, the Lord tells him (son of man) to STAND and THEN He would speak with him. It is then the 'spirit' that enters Ezekiel and CAUSES him to stand. And THEN Ezekiel could hear the Lord speaking to him.
As such the son of man is a 'thing' as much as a person. It is a thing inside EVERY person. The 'son' of man is our Lord, the 'master' that is within us. This is what the LORD speaks to.
Thus when David says (in the spirit as Jesus adds) the Lord is speaking to David's 'son of man' and thus the LORD is giving David instruction on what he would like him to do.

If by "divinity of Jesus" you mean "100% God and 100% man," no I do not believe that. The scriptures never teach it, and it is a pure contradiction. He is never identified as a God-man.

As they say different things, they cannot all be infallible. This is why doing your own research is important.

Jesus claims Son of man not Ancient of Days.
Daniel 7

and he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.

Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man ➡️seated at the right hand of Power and ➡️coming on the clouds of heaven.”
11:37 He's basing it on what Jesus said in John 5:46. "If you believe Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me", and I say that's pretty good evidence that he was in fact there.
@@williamstier6445 Moses did write about Jesus.
Deuteronomy 18:17-19
And the LORD said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And *I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I COMMAND him.* And whoever will not listen to my words that *he shall speak in my name,* I myself will require it of him.
Peter says that is Jesus:
Acts 3:21-23
Jesus … whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. Moses said, ‘The LORD God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’
John 1 creates super amounts of issues for non-trinitarians since the Word is recognized as creator of all things and then also recognized as Jesus. From Genesis one we know God created all things. But saying that Jesus revealed an unseen God is not contradictory. Why? Because divinity is unseen. Also Jesus revealed the God who has not been seen. That is not strange to say if He is God. It does not have to mean that God was never seen even after Jesus revealed him. It would be like me saying my biological father was unknown to me but my father made himself known to me. Or something like that.
Also in Acts 20 if you are saying it is either God or Lord then you have an issue. The Lord is recognized as God. So if there is one Lord and he has been recognized as God then it would seem someone called lord (in the sense of the verse in Acts 20) would be God. Same of Ephesians 4 or Thomas declaration that Jesus is Lord and God. Of course, God does not have blood to shed except in the one person of Jesus. So it would ot make any sense that there would be another passage that says that God (besides Jesus) shed his own blood. No Trinitarian would argue for that. Just making a statement that other passages say Jesus shed his blood does not really help unless you already assume by that that Jesus is not God. but really I do not show that you prove that this verse really speaks about Jesus unless you add more than what is in the text itself and interpret the text in just a certain way.
You also making a jump to say "blood of his own" is referring to Jesus. It could still just mean his own blood. You did not really give a good reason to just state that "his own" refers to Jesus. You have to insert something that is not in the text "son" to make it sound like it works.
Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.”- Isaiah 44:6
Then there is Jude. So Lord in one place you say is not God and then in Jude it is God? But Jesus is called Lord all the time in the NT. Ephesians 4 is one major one. So a textual variant of Lord does not help you.
Yes, Lord can refer to Jesus or it can refer to God, it depends on context. This is not something new I am proposing. Also, the reason to believe that "son" is properly supplied in Acts 20:28 is the similar phrase "his own son" τοῦ ἰδίου υἱοῦ in Rom. 8:32.
Do you see how in this verse you quoted, there can be no other God, besides the Father - “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.”- Isaiah 44:6
God uses singular pronouns and said there is no other God. He does not use "we" which God should if he consists of three persons, he uses "I."
LORD capitalized is from the tetragrammaton...YHWH. written approximately 7000 times in the OT. To say LORD and Lord have the same meaning is erroneous. Deuteronomy 18:15-19..the LORD says to Moses, l will raise up a Prophet like yourself( Moses ) and l will put my words in His mouth. That Prophet just so happens to be the Son of God, the Messiah. Psalm 110:1... David writes..the LORD says to my Lord sit at my right hand. YHWH says to my king or ruler. The word Lord does not mean God. The capitalised form LORD refers specifically to YHWH..the one and only true God as Jesus ( Yahshua) states in John 17:3 . Remembering that God is Spirit and it is the Spirit that gives life. HalleluYah.
