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
The Fixed New Testament Text – a Huge Problem for Trinitarianism!
“There is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all”—1 Timothy 2:5,6 NIV
“Mediator. One who represents God to humans and humans to God–and who removes all alienation between them by offering himself as a ransom for ‘all'”—NIV Study Bible footnote on 1 Timothy 2:5
The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the mediator BETWEEN God and mankind.
“GOD-MAN” MEDIATOR CLAIMS
Trinitarians claim that Jesus is God, and their “God-man” also. How do they explain this apparent contradiction?
They claim that only Jesus could be the mediator because he is the “God-man”, that is, he’s “fully god, fully man”, they claim”, thus being part and parcel of both parties he represents.
Jesus is the Mediator between God and mankind. Yet, Trinitarians claim Jesus is also God, and call him “God-man.”Trinitarians say: “Jesus MUST be God in order to be our mediator.”
That is the crux of their argument. Since there is nothing in the scriptures to support such an idea, Trinitarians resort to equivocation by changing the meaning of “mediator”, since Jesus being the mediator BETWEEN humans and God (1 Timothy 2:5) presents a huge problem for their Trinity doctrine. (2 Corinthians 10:3-4).
Trinitarians ask: “If he did not share God’s nature, how could he bring us to God and God to us?”
“GOD-MAN” MEDIATOR CONCEPT IS SELF-DEFEATING
And the Biblical answer is…
“Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. THAT IS WHY HE IS THE ONE WHO MEDIATES a new covenant between God and people” (Hebrews 9:14-15 NLT).read more
The Trinity doctrine says, “the Son is Almighty”. Shown below are some scriptures that are used to prove Jesus Christ is Almighty God. Let’s carefully examine these in the light of the scriptures.
Isaiah 9:6 – “Mighty God”. Notice that the scripture doesn’t call him “Almighty God”. It calls him “Mighty God”. Jesus is powerful, but not all-powerful. Almighty God told Moses, “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh” (Exodus 7:1 NKJV). The verse also predicts: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given”. “Child” and “son”cannot apply to Almighty God because “God is spirit” (John 4:24), and “God is not human” (Numbers 23:19 NIV).
John 1:1 – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (NAB).
