The resurrected Jesus comes to John with a letter to 7 churches. To the last church, The Loadeceans, He says :I am the alpha and omega, the beginning of the creation of God”, The KJV is the closest to the original Greek. If that is so, ,are we to rethink some root doctrines?
Hi Davidl,
Yes you should rethink your idea of trinity.
Jesus Christ is the beginning of the creation OF God.
Nick, I fervently read the NT when Father made himself known to me in 82, I formed my non Trinitarian belief in a short time. This one verse very few Trinitarians will discuss. The resurrected Jesus makes a very self explanatory statement, saying he was the first act of creation by God. That’s what that sentence says. If the trinity mob agree then there goes the trinity. The original Greek words translate into those words in this verse, there is no way it can be changed only to suit someones own theology.
Hi davidl,
Not the first ACT of creation.
But trinity is a quite unnecessary addition to what God has taught.
It perversely complicates what is a beautiful relationship between the Father and the Son that we are invited to partake in.
DavidH,
The AV of the KJV is not the closest to Koine Greek though it is based on a different text group than most modern versions. I does word some things closer to the original but those things are often harder to understand because we do not speak that version of English anymore.
I use the AV of the KJV despite my knowledge it has some technical flaws. I just try to avoid using debatable Scritures as premises, evidence, to base my conclusions on.
