Jesus and His God

1 Corinthians 12:4 - Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:5 - There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord. 1 Corinthians 12:6 - There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all. -- World English Bible version . The above verses are sometimes referenced as claiming to present all three persons of the triune Godhead. Evidently, what is being imagined and assumed is that the word "spirit" in verse 4 is in reference to the third person of the triune Godhead, and the "Lord" in verse 5 is in reference to the second person of the alleged triune Godhead, and that "God" in verse 6 refers to the first person of the alleged triune Godhead. Of course, in reality, "God" in these verses refers to only one person. There is nothing in these verses that presents "God" as being more than one person, or as being three persons. Paul is here explaining that although there ar...

By Ronald R. Day, Sr. -- Much needs to added to this study, but I have decided to present what I have already completed. A term often used to describe the trinity is that of "Godhead." Trinitarians often refer to the "three persons of the Godhead." On one site we are told that "God is one and that there are three distinct persons within the Godhead." And then it is claimed: "It is important to know where Scripture presents the members of the Godhead as sharing in the divine nature equally, meaning that one is not somehow more divine than another and underscoring that all three members are fully and equally one-and-the-same God ." Of course, in reality, we do not find anywhere in the Bible anything about there about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as being three persons, or even more than one person. He is always presented as being only one person. On another site, we find a quote 1 John 5:7 from the King James Version and states: "Obvio...

Acts 8:37 - Then Philip said, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God." -- New King James Version This verse is sometimes given to support the trinity doctrine. As it appears in the King James Version and some other translations, however, we find that "God" is referring to only one person, and Jesus is spoken of as being the "Son" of that one person who is "God." We find nothing at all here (or anywhere else in the Bible) that presents the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as being more than one person. Thus, the trinitarian actually has to create some assumptions that have to be added to, and read into what is stated in order to "see" trinity in the verse. What the trinitarian does is imagine, assume, add to, and read into the scriptures that God (the Supreme Being) begets God (the Supreme Being), just as a human being begets a human being, and thus...

 Acts 10:34 - Peter opened his mouth and said, "Truly I perceive that God doesn't show favoritism;  Acts 10:35 - but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.  Acts 10:36 - The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ -- he is Lord of all. -- World English By Ronald R. Day, Sr. (This study needs to be edited) These verses are sometimes cited as proof that Peter called Jesus "God." Actually, "God" appears only once in these verses, and it is obviously referring to only one person, that is, the God and Father of Jesus. -- Ephesians 1:30. Evidently, however, something in these verses is being interpreted to mean that Peter called Jesus "God". Directly, Peter calls Jesus "Christ," which means that he believed Jesus to be one whom Jehovah God anointed, not that Jesus is Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Rather than identifying Jesus as being the...

John 9:35 - Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"  John 9:36 - He answered, "Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?"  John 9:37 - Jesus said to him, "You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you."  John 9:38 - He said, "Lord, I believe!" and he worshiped him.  By Ronald R. Day, Sr. (this study needs to be edited) The above verses are often presented with the claim that the blind man called Jesus "God".  We have found no explanation for this claim regarding these verses, but since it is obvious that the blind man did not speak of Jesus as being "God," that something this man said is being interpreted to mean that he called Jesus "God."  What title did the blind man call Jesus by? Not "God," but "Lord." Evidently, then, what is being imagined and assumed is that is that "Lord" means "God." Let'...
