Commentary on 1 Timothy 3.16 [2 pages]

Although the above verse in the NIV does not support the Trinity, there are some Greek manuscripts that read, "God appeared in the flesh." This reading of some Greek manuscripts has passed into some English versions, and the King James Version is one of them. Trinitarian scholars admit, however, that these Greek texts were altered by scribes in favor of the Trinitarian position. The reading of the earliest and best manuscripts is not "God" but rather "he who." Almost all the modern versions have the verse as "the mystery of godliness is great, which was manifest in the flesh," or some close equivalent.

Who do people say Jesus is? There are lots of opinions. But more personally, who do you say Jesus is? Jesus asked his disciples the same question. And the Apostle Peter gave the right answer. It should be the same answer for us today. Jesus was no ordinary man. He was "the Christ, the son of the living God." How will that fact change your life? Scriptures: Matthew 16:13-17; Psalm 2; Psalm 42
