The Problem of Trinitarian Translation  [8 pages]
by Ray Faircloth rated at 1.6 (6 votes so far)

Does the Bible ever call Jesus God? It turns out that the smattering of texts which trinitarian apologists customarily offer as proof for Jesus' divinity have major manuscript and translation issues. Ray Faircloth takes on a journey to discover what the various alternatives are for understanding classic scriptures such as Isaiah 9.6, 1 John 5.7; John 1.18; Titus 2.13; 2 Peter 1.1, etc.

Commentary on Acts 7:45  [2 pages]
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, and John Lynn rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)

Although the King James English makes this verse a little hard to understand, it is saying that Jesus was the one who brought the Israelites into the Promised Land. This is a case of mistranslation. The name “Jesus” and the name “Joshua” are the same, and on two occasions the translators of the KJV confused them. This point is well established by William Barclay, a professor and author at Trinity College in Glasgow.

Commentary on Acts 20.28b  [1 page]
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, and John Lynn rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)

There are some Greek manuscripts that read “the church of the Lord” instead of “the church of God.” Many Trinitarian scholars believe that “Lord” is the original reading, because there is no mention anywhere in the Bible of God having blood. If the Greek manuscripts that read “Lord” are the original ones, then the “problem” is solved. However, it is the belief of the authors that good textual research shows that “the church of God” is the correct reading.

Commentary on Ephesians 3.9  [1 page]
by John Schoenheit, Mark Graeser, and John Lynn rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)

This verse is not a problem in most translations, because most do not have the phrase, “by Jesus Christ,” at the end of the verse. Apparently this phrase was added to some Greek manuscripts as debates about the Trinity caused some scribes to “augment” their position by adding to the Word of God, or it could have been a marginal note that was accidentally copied into some manuscripts.

More Inconsistencies In Trinitarianism   [7 page]
by Ray Faircloth rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)

Since the 4th century Trinitarians have claimed to be monotheists; yet if they worship God as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit then 3 co-equal Gods are being worshipped, each God being a separate and distinct person. This is tritheism and not biblical monotheism. Yet this anomaly is covered over by stating that it is a mystery.
