1 Peter 3:15 – Sanctify Christ As Lord

Isaiah 8:12,13 – Ye shall not say – A confederacy! of everything of which this people may say. A confederacy! And their fear, shall ye not fear or regard as awful: Yahweh of hosts, him, shall ye hallow, – And let, him, be your fear, and let, him inspire you with awe. — Rotherham’s Emphasized Bible translation. 1 Peter 3:14,15 – But even if you do suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear, and do not be intimidated, but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you. — New Revised Standard Version Many of our trinitarian neighbors would like for us to believe that Peter is calling Jesus “Jehovah” in 2 Peter 3:14,15. They evidently compare this scripture with Isaiah 8:12,13, and conclude that since Isaiah is speaking about Jehovah (Yahweh), then Jesus must be Jehovah. Peter does not directly quote anything from Isaiah 8:12,13, but some of ...

Jude 1:4 – The Only Despotes

For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. — Jude 1:4, New American Standard Jude 4 pareisedueesan gar tines anthrwpoi hoi palai SLIPPED INTO BESIDE FOR SOME MEN, THE (ONES) OF OLD 3921 1063 5100 0444 3588 3819 progegrammenoi eis touto to krima HAVING BEEN WRITTEN BEFORE INTO THIS THE JUDGMENT, 4270 1519 3778_2 3588 2917 asebeis teen tou theou heemwn charita IRREVERENTIAL (ONES), THE OF THE GOD OF US UNDESERVED KINDNESS| 0765 3588 3588 2316 1473_8 5485 metatithentes eis aselgeian kai ton monon PUTTING ACROSS INTO LOOSE CONDUCT AND THE ONLY 3346 1519 0766 2532 3588 3441 despoteen kai kurion heemwn ieesoun christon MASTER AND LORD OF US OF JESUS CHRIST 1203 2532 2962 1473_8 2424 5547 arnoumenoi (ONES) DENYING. 0720  -- Westcott & Hort traansliterated Interlinear We have been asked the question: “Wh...

Acts 7:59 - Did Stephen Call Upon God?

(We are in the process of updating this study -- Ronald R. Day, Sr.) From time to time, Acts 7:59 is cited from the King James Version as proof of the trinity doctrine. Oneness believers may also cite this verse from the KJV as proof that Jesus is God. The KJV reads: And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. The claim is made that Stephen called upon God, who is "Lord Jesus". The trinitarian may claim that this proves the trinity doctrine, although in reality there is nothing in the verse as it appears in the King James Version that speaks of Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as being more than one person, or that Jesus is a person of Jehovah. As throughout the Bible, the trinitarian dogma has forced into what Phillip stated. We should certainly note that in the King James Version , the word "God" is in italics in Acts 7:59, which means that even in the Textus Receptus , there is no word in the Greek tex...

The God (Supreme Being – The Might) Of Jesus (Scriptures)

There is only one Mighty One (God, EL, THEOS) who is the source of all might in the universe, and who is the only true Supreme Being as being that Mighty One. (John 17:3; 1 Corinthians 8:6) The following scriptures, obtained from the World English Bible translation, directly speak of the God of Jesus; please note that Jehovah (Yahweh), the God of Jesus, of necessity has to be unipersonal, not tripersonal: Psalms 45:7 – You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows. Micah 5:4 – He shall stand, and shall shepherd in the strength of Yahweh [Jehovah], In the majesty of the name of Yahweh his God: And they will live, for then he will be great to the ends of the earth. Matthew 27:46 – About the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Mark 15:34 – At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying...
