Quote Putting it another way:• The Godhead is the only true God.• Each specific member of the Godhead is the only true God.• Therefore, the members of the Godhead are the only true God, whether individually or collectively. So, Jesus is called “God” or “mighty one” a few times. Jehovah, the Almighty is called God more than a thousand times speci…[Read more]

The context helps us to draw the right conclusion from this. Shortly before Jesus’ death, Thomas had heard Jesus’ prayer in which he addressed his Father as “the only true God.” (John 17:3, RS) After Jesus’ resurrection Jesus had sent a message to his apostles, including Thomas, in which he had said: “I am ascending . . . to my God and your God.”…[Read more]

It's not my opinion. It's the opinion of the dictionary's of the world.A mediator is not one of the parties that it mediates between.

PART OF THE FORTOLD APOSTASY:Not until the fourth century C.E. did the teaching that the holy spirit was a person and part of the “Godhead” become official church dogma. Early church “fathers” did not so teach; Justin Martyr of the second century C.E. taught that the holy spirit was an ‘influence or mode of operation of the Deity’; Hippolytus…[Read more]

I looked up the word blasphemy. The first definition I came across was: “blasphemous language (expressing disrespect for God or for something sacred)”–www.wordnet.princetonSo disrespect for God “or” something sacred. “Sacred” can be defined as something made or held holy. God’s holy spirit is…holy, sacred.Done.

You ask: “Then why does your Bible say Jesus is a God. Is he a false god?

The additional occurrence of this phrase (Alpha and Omega) in the King James rendering of Revelation 1:11, does not receive support from some of the oldest Greek manuscripts, including the Alexandrine, Sinaitic, and Codex Ephraemi rescriptus. It is, therefore, omitted in many modern translations.The first verse of Revelation shows that the…[Read more]

The expression, “Look! I am coming quickly,” in verse 12, does not require that these aforementioned verses apply to Jesus, inasmuch as God also speaks of himself as “coming” to execute judgment. (Compare Isa 26:21.) Malachi 3:1-6 speaks of a joint coming for judgment on the part of Jehovah and his “messenger of the covenant.”

While the term “Holy Ghost” occurs some ninety times in the King James and Douay versions, it is actually an Old English term, “ghost” being derived from the German word geist, meaning “spirit.” That is why the expression “Holy Ghost” does not appear in modern translations.The term “spirit” is used in seven different ways in the Bible, and is a…[Read more]

A comparison of Bible texts that refer to the holy spirit shows that it is spoken of as ‘filling’ people; they can be ‘baptized’ with it; and they can be “anointed” with it. (Luke 1:41; Matt. 3:11; Acts 10:38) None of these expressions would be appropriate if the holy spirit were a person.In the Bible the holy spirit is personified, but this is…[Read more]
