Should we worship Jesus?

Many Christians today sincerely believe they’re doing the right thing by worshipping Jesus. Should we worship Jesus?

There are some verses that are often translated as though people actually “worshipped” Jesus. However, as mentioned above, accurate translations do not reflect that idea.

ACCURATE BIBLE TRANSLATION IS IMPORTANT

On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage”—Matthew 2:11 NRSV

“Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, ‘Truly, you are the Son of God'”—Matthew 14:33 NAB read more

The Greek Minor Prophets Scroll is pictured above.

The early Christians in the 1st century used both Hebrew and Greek (called the Septuagint, abbreviated LXX) manuscript scrolls of the Old Testament (OT). The early Christians used the Greek Septuagint Version (LXX) for much of their reading the Hebrew Scriptures, commonly known as the Old Testament (OT)., as reflected in many New Testament (NT) quotes from the OT. Most extant copies of the LXX have the Greek “kyrios” (“Lord”) rather than “Yahweh” (“YHWH” in Hebrew). Why? read more

What Does Judges Tell Us About God and the Trinity?

Is the Bible reliable?
What does Judges tell us about God and the Trinity?

It is claimed that Almighty God is a Trinity of three persons, the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit, in one God. What does the book of Judges tell us about Almighty God and the Trinity? Is the Trinity in the historical book of Judges? Surprisingly, there is a wealth of information in the Old Testament book of Judges that can help us to answer these questions.

THE BAALS

“The sons of Israel did what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh and served [worshipped, marginal reading] the Baals” (Judges 2:11 LSB). Notice that they served/worshipped “the Baals“. We can’t help but note the similarities between “the Baals” and the Trinity. read more

Is the Trinity in the Book of Exodus?

Is the Trinity in the Book of Exodus?

Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1075, a 3rd or 4th century CE manuscript showing part of Exodus 40" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_40">Exodus 40

Exodus is the Bible book that gives the history of the choosing of the ancient Israelites as God’s chosen people, or nation, and their entering into a special covenant with God to bind that relationship. The Trinity doctrine is often said to be the main doctrine of Christianity. If that is true, we should certainly find the doctrine in this very important Bible book. In this article, we’ll explore the question, “Is the Trinity in the book of Exodus”?

How Should John 1:1 Be Translated?

How Should John 1:1 Be Translated?

There is some controversy as to how should John 1:1 be translated. Trinitarians often use the verse to support their contention that Jesus is the eternal Almighty God. John 1:1 is often translated as, “and the Word was God”, and used to assert the Son of God, Jesus Christ is Almighty God? How about “a god”?

The traditional rendering in English is:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

There are many other variations of rendering John 1:1 which are more accurate according to the Greek text, both in translation or paraphrase, John 1:1c also exist: read more

Trinity Doctrine Jokes

Trinity Doctrine Jokes

 Since the Trinity doctrine is a joke, and is simply unbiblical nonsense, why don’t we look at some Trinity doctrine jokes. You’ll find that all of these Trinity doctrine jokes are in good taste, and meant to inform with humor.

“The Trinity: Try to Understand It, and You’ll Lose Your Mind. Try to Deny It and You’ll LOSE YOUR SOUL!” (anonymous quote, often attributed to Augustine).

We  keep looking for the Trinity God in the scriptures, but we just can’t seem to find him, reminiscent of Elijah making fun of Baal not showing up for the fire contest as to who is the true God:

“‘He’s a god, so maybe he’s busy. ‘Maybe he’s relieving himself. ‘Maybe he’s busy someplace. Maybe he’s taking a nap and somebody needs to wake him up'”—1 Kings 18:27 ISV read more

Children of God, Brothers and Sisters of Christ

Children of God, Brothers and Sisters of Christ

Picture

Trinitarians often refer to Jesus Christ as “God the Son”. According to the scriptures, he is “the Son of God,” but not “God the Son”. Christians are “children of God”, and “brothers and sisters”  of Christ (Matthew 25:40; Hebrews 2:11; Matthew 12:50; Mark 3:35; Luke 8:21), but never “children of Christ” in the scriptures. According to the scriptures, Christians are “born of God” ( John 1:13; 1 John 3:9; John 4:7; John 5:1,4,18), but never “born of Christ”. Christ has “brothers and sisters” (Matthew 25:40; Hebrews 2:11; Matthew 12:50; Mark 3:35; Luke 8:21), but no children. God has “children”, but no brothers (Romans 8:14,15; Galatians 3:26; Revelation 21:6,7). read more

What is the truth about God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit?

Does the Holy Spirit Have a Name?

Does the Holy Spirit Have a Name?

 Trinitarians sometimes claim the holy Spirit is person because of Jesus’ words:“Baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19 LSB), and conclude that the holy Spirit has a personal name. Therefore, we do well to ask, “Is the holy Spirit a person”?

EXAMINING MATTHEW 28:18-20

“Baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”—Matthew 28:19 LSB

If we take “name”t literally at Matthew 28:19, then the three have only one name, because “name” is singular, not plural. read more

Are “God the Son” & “God the Holy Spirit” Biblical?

Are “God the Son” & “God the Holy Spirit” Biblical?

JESUS’ EXAMPLE

Jesus left “an example” for us to “follow closely” (1 Peter 2:21 NIV), which we should endeavor to do, albeit imperfectly.

Jesus publicly confronted and exposed false teachers and their “false doctrines” (1 Timothy 1:3). For example: read more
