Good Stuff here Nick & Cubes,I've been debating with an author who seems to be trying to put a different spin onwhat the son of Gods means. I used the example of Christ's geneology in Luke whereAdam is also called the son of God. Is he some diety? Uh, no!Cubes, you did a good job here listing references to angels:Gen 6:2 That the sons of God sa…[Read more]

Amen Sultan & Nick,H, what you said about more transcripts being available to KJV translators is not true.Since many of the revisions of the KJV Bible, there have been the discovery of theDead Sea Scrolls and many other reliable codices older than what was used to translate the KJV.They are also not infallible and even REMOVED a portion of…[Read more]

E-Maniac,“HASTINGS Dictionary of the Bible by Schribners, on page 1015 under the topic: “THE TRINITY–The Christian doctrine of God as existing in three Persons & one Substance is NOT DEMONSTRABLE BY LOGIC OR BY SCRIPTURAL PROOFS…” According to Mr. Hastings, one would have to use ILLOGICAL AND UNSCRIPTURAL data in order to prove a trinity.

ALso E-Maniac,Now you've got to stoop to posting someone else's long winded nonsense as a response? Son of God means just what it says and is NOT exclusive to our Lord Jesus. Read Luke 3:38 which lists ADAM as the Son of God. Christ is also referred to as the Last Adam. You trinitarians have reversed the meaning and added “God the Son” to…[Read more]

Uh oh E-Maniac,Sure sign of a white flag is when you start in with “it is not necessary to fully comprehendGod…” You can't win this debate scripturally so you drop down to this?

Is 1:18 & E-Maniac,I can only recommend that you spend some time in a real library to see what those whocreated the trinity doctrine, aka the Roman Catholic Church, did in the history of men.There is not enough time nor is it our job to educate you on the origins of these falsebeliefs and the teachers who promulgated them.They lie, deceive and…[Read more]

Hi Kenrch,You wrote: “God is a Spirit the Holy Spirit has both Father and Son (John4:24).”Actually what scripture says is that God made Christ a life giving spirit. says, “So it is written “The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam, a lifegiving spirit.” We all know Christ is the last Adam.So the Bible is not saying the Holy Spirit…[Read more]
