Hehehe. I see you've gone far. Ok, I'll bite, starting with the Trinity.

New International Version
Ps 45:6: "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom."

Who is referred to in this Bible verse?
Like many prophecies in psalms, it applies to two persons. First is David then by extension Jesus who is the eternal king from the line of David.
The right translation for that however is; "God is your throne forever and ever". It indicates that the kingship is divine and it will last till time indefinite. See also psalm 89:29.
Besides the bible itself states that there are many gods. Satan is a god, the angels were called gods, moses was called a god and the pharisees were also called gods. God is a title like king. It means powerful one. Jesus is a mighty god, John 1:1,2. But there is to us one God ALMIGHT, Jehovah; "yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live." 1 Corinthians 8:6.

The talk about "many gods" is just being half-clever here. The text says "O God", not "gods". The main point I see here is that the NWT ("the right translation" to you) renders Ps 45:6 differently. (Note that almost every transaction, including the KJV, disagree with the JW translation here).

Now, how about John 1:1? What do you say about the fact that JW inserts an article "and the Word was a god" even though there was none in the original text ("and the word was God"wink?

Janosky:


The Catholic Church Jerusalem Bible Psalms 45:6 will help you out,Sir.
This is the authentic genuine rendition of Psalms 45:6.
"Thy throne given of God/ God is your throne" similar to saying "God is your Strength or your strength is from God."

The Masoretic Text is far older than any Trinitarian rendition of Psalms 45:6 in English Bibles.

Also, Luke 1:31-33 confirmed the authenticity of the Masoretic Text of Psalms 45:6.
The Screenshots sheds more light on this verse.

Shalom.
We're using the Jerusalem Bible now? Thinkmoney, let's see if this man still relies on the Jerusalem Bible in his response to my last post. That should fault my argument that the JW use advanced tricks and mind techniques and not sound logic.

@ John 1:1 the writer leaves the readers to discern what he meant there, going by the scriptures known by the Jews the Messiah is not God Almighty but a messenger SENT by the Almighty.
So none of Jesus's disciples could ever think of Jesus being the Almighty God after all they've through with him.
He often pray to someone {John 11:41,42} he always refer to the one he's praying to as greater than him {John 14:28} he always tell them about his father who is also their father {John 20:17} therefore any Jewish disciples of Christ would have concluded that Jesus is the messenger of their God who is to come in the manner of Moses {Act 3:22 compare to Deuteronomy 18:18,19} God Almighty made Moses like a God before Pharaoh of Egypt (the greatest king of the time who is also revered as a God) {Exodus 7:1} that's why the NWT appropriately rendered that verse in a way that any reader could understand:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god.

Moses WAS once a God and if Jesus is the messenger that would come in the manner of Moses then he is also a God for he will perform many mighty works that only Moses could be remembered of all the prophets who have lived before him to perform great works of that sort!

Oga, did the Catholic Church new Jerusalem Bible contradict your rendition of Psalms 45:6-7?
Oga, did the Hebrew/ Jewish Masoretic Text (older than any of your Trinitarian rendition of Psalms 45:6-7) in agreement with the Catholic Church New Jerusalem Bible?

Oga, say the truth abeg you

Bros, your claim is not true.
Is the truth you confirmed at Psalms 45:6-7 of the Jewish Masoretic Text & New Jerusalem Bible (supported by Luke 1:32 & 1 chronicles 29:23) approved by the Trinitarian Catholic hierarchy not sound logic to your heart & mind?

Oga, just tell Nairaland you have made up your mind to believe Trinity when genuine evidence of Psalms 45:6-7 is against it.

Thank you Janosky. You really helped to make things clear here.
Are you a witness. I am not anyways, but I see they are the closest to how the bible described the organisation of God will look like.

Ok, @Janosky have given a very logical and sincere response using other translations that are traditionally leaning towards trinity.
You see, Devil is crafty and powerful. He has been using many means to fight and obscure the truth in the bible. Some translations possibly due to limited knowledge or even mischief, have in some areas confused the message of the bible. Some where written hundreds of years ago and have not given diligent consideration to how language changes overtime. This translations need serious updating.
There are much more older bible versions though that are in the original, hebrew, aramaic and Greek languages. Diligent study of theses texts and the traditions, culture and language style of the time they record, shows that the bible have no contradictions whatsoever. They are consistent with the message that Jesus is a lesser partner of God the father. Jesus depended on him for power and authority. Jesus begged him to make the gloom fate pass over. Jesus trusted him to raise him back up. Jesus explicitly said he is lesser than him. Jesus even told Satan that this almighty God is the only one worthy of worship. Satan couldn't have tempted this God the father...with what? He dey madt?

Oga, you want to hear the truth?
Did any Jew say their human king is "O God" ?
NEVER!!!
Rather,( @1 Chronicles 29:23, Luke 1:32) the king's throne is from God.
That is the long & short of Psalms 45:6-7.

Your Trinitarian mentors rendition "O God" is NOT the genuine Hebrew text of Psalms 45:6-7.
I have shown you the Screenshots evidences that most Trinitarian devotees & translators DISAGREE with your rendition "O God."
Yet, you love to argue against the truth. grin

JuanDeDios:


Now, how about John 1:1? What do you say about the fact that JW inserts an article "and the Word was a god" even though there was none in the original text ("and the word was God"wink?


1st Point.
Oga, JWs did NOT "insert an article" 'a' @John1:1.
JWs reflected the genuine Greek meaning of Theos @John1:1.
The same way your fellow Trinitarian devotee, Bill Mounce reflect Theos @ Acts12:22-23.

2nd Point:
Your fellow Trinitarian devotees REMOVED it.
Do you know why?


Greek Theos mean "a god"/"God".(screenshot).
@ John 1:1, your fellow Trinitarian devotees REMOVED definite article "the/ho/tov" @ John 1:1 because they loved Trinity more than the Bible truth.
But they NEVER removed the same definite article @ Acts 12:22-23, John 14:1, John 4:24, Bill Mounce Greek Interlinear. grin grin

3rd Point:
1 Corinthians 11:3, Bill Mounce Greek interlinear,Ho Theos (the God) is the Head of Christ ("a god" @ John 1:1).
Deuteronomy 10:17,Ho Theos (the God) of gods is the Head of all gods,his sons/Jesus, Acts 3:13.
@ Greek John 14:1 & Greek John 1:1, is Jesus Christ ho Theos (the God)?
NEVER !!!
@ John 1:1, the Word was a god, divine nature NOT ho Theos, his God & Father.
Read the Screenshots evidences thoroughly and note the rendition of Emphatic Diaglott Bible & Bill Mounce Greek interlinear bible.
By the way, Bill Mounce is a Trinitarian
.

That is nutrient. Blood is not a nutrient. The components of nutrients don't get destroyed by digestive enzymes in the gut, but the components of blood get destroyed by digestive enzymes in the gut. So, blood you take by mouth goes into the large intestine where you can remove it at the toilet.

That is why you can't get HIV by tasting Hiv-infected blood.

What you guys are doing is not obedience to God. It is ignorance. The digestive enzymes destroyed blood components and send them out as waste products.

Blood is not nutrient. Nutrient enter into the body, but blood does not because the blood you eat is a waste product.

I didn't see blood transfusion in what the OP posted that led to this thread and my original comment which you attacked was not on blood transfusion either so who is guilty of lacking focus here.

People generally represent themselves with their expressions and so most of the words coming from you are actually representing you so when you hear yourself mention words like "quote out of context " " misrepresentation " " misinterpretation " just know that you are merely echoing what you have been doing for ages which is now ingrained in your subconscious mind. You might be happy to point fingers at someone else and proclaim those words without actually knowing that you are exposing yourself and your ignorance which is laced with huge mind caging ego.
You are a free moral man believe what you want and stop attacking other persons believe and practice
