Mistranslation Verses-Trinity Edition

                                                              Mistranslation Verses-Trinity Edition

1 Timothy 3:16 King James Version 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

NOTE: Trinitarian scholars admit that there was tampering by scribes. The earliest manuscripts has "he who."


Zechariah 12:10 New International Version 10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on ME, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

NOTE: The original Hebrew is unclear. Other translations such as the RSV uses "him " instead of me. Many translations disagree with Zechariah 12:10, but how it is quoted in John 19:37 and Revelation 1:7, scholars are agreement that it is "him", not me. In context, this is about one in a relationship injured for God-The Messiah. Luke 2:35 states that Mary's soul would be pierced by a sword. So it isn't illogical to apply this to God the Father feeling pain for the death of Jesus.


Acts 7:59 King James Version 59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

NOTE: This is not in the original Greek. It's an insertion due to tampering of the text.



Romans 9:5 New International Version 5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

NOTE: This passage can be translated in various ways. See RSV and Moffatt translations. The original Greek text didn't have punctuation. The translations focus on two themes Christ being God or God the Father being praised. The margin notes for revised version of the KJV margin states that "Paul never leaves monotheism." Based on the context, it appears that Romans 9:5 follow a similar structure to Rom. 1:25; 2 Cor. 11:31; Eph. 1:3; 4:6; 1 Tim. 6:15. These examples support that Jesus is not God. That God the Father is being acknowledged here. It would be very unusual that Jesus would be declared God out of nowhere since God the Father is the subject. This would be out of place considering that the verses before Romans 9:5 focus on God the Father's redemptive plan for the Jews. It would not make sense for Paul to offend them with a triune god since he spoke in a way to win them over in Romans 9:2-3 RSV.

Luke 1:47 New International Version 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior

NOTE: God, the Father, is called “Savior” in Isaiah 43:11; 1 Timothy 1:1; 2:3; 4:10; Titus 1:3; 2:10; 3:4; Jude 25. God the Father is the author of salvation. In addition, there are human saviors/deliverers in Nehemiah 9:27, 2 Kings 13:5; Isaiah 19:20; Obadiah 1:21. It is not limited to Jesus.



Colossians 2:2 New International Version 2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,

NOTE: Translations vary. See the KJV translation for example. Based on the Greek, some Trinitarian scholars have even rendered it as " the mystery of the Christ of God."

Hebrews 4:8 King James Version 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

Acts 7:45 King James Version 45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

Jude 1:5 English Standard Version 5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

NOTE: Jesus is a mistranslation in these passages. Jesus is the Greek name for Joshua, which is a Hebrew name. The Old Testament in the wilderness has Joshua leading the Israelites into the wilderness.
For Jude 1:5 scholars, confuse Lord with Jesus. The Lord Yahweh is intended here. Otherwise, it is Modalism.


1 Corinthians 10:2-4 King James Version 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

NOTE: Translations vary between drink, drinking, and drank. The Greek word akoloutheō can also mean "to follow after" in terms of time. The word them is not in the Greek. It is added for readability purposes. There is no evidence of a supernatural rock stalking the people anywhere else in the Bible. It is begging the question. This passage should be rendered as such. See below.

1 Corinthians 10:2-4 Rendered Version 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they long to drink of that spiritual Rock that FOLLOWED AFTER: and that Rock to be was Christ.



1 John 5:7-8 King James Version 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

NOTE: Translations vary. A scribe confused a margin note for scripture and added it to one of the major manuscripts. The surrounding context doesn't even fit either. Many Trinitarian scholars fully admit to this.

Hebrews 1:8 English Standard Version 8 But of the Son HE SAYS, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” Psalm 45:6 Revised Standard Version 6 Your divine throne endures for ever and ever. Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity; 

NOTE: The Greek word Theos can be rendered as godly or divine. See 2 Corinthians 1:12 (ESV), Hebrews 12:28 (KJV). Therefore, it isn't off base to say that this can mean "O divine one or godly one" for verse 45:7 as well. This passage has been translated in an very unclear way. First, the word  " O" for "O God" and "He says" is missing  in the Greek.  This is why the "He says" is in italics in the NASB translation. Second, the KJV, ESV and NIV and has "YOUR KINGDOM" while it says "HIS KINGDOM" in the NASB and Amplified Bible. The NLT avoids this problem altogether, so as you can see all the translators are confused about what is truly being said here. Because of translator bias and the lack of clarity across translations, we must look at the original quote in Psalm 45:6. The RSV has a good translation, which makes sense. In the original context of Psalm 45, it's about a king is being called God on his wedding day, possibly Solomon. This king is a human king in 45:1,5,13,15. He is blessed by God in 45:2 and has a wife in 45:8-9,12. Both him and Jesus are a son of David/God. Kings were considered sons and representatives of God. They were image bearers. Both sit on the throne of David, which is the throne of God.  This doesn't make the Psalm 45 King/Solomon God. He is given divine authority. Jesus is the Greater Solomon and fulfillment of this prophecy. See 2 Samuel 7:14-16. When Jesus got exalted in Heaven, God the Father gave him His throne like how Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord in 1 Chronicles 29:23. So Hebrews 1:8 is not calling Jesus God, but a declaration of Jesus' divine authority. God doesn't have companions. There is no contest 1 Chronicles 29:23 English Standard Version 23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king in place of David his father. And he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him. 

Hebrews 1:8-9 Rendered Version 6 YOUR godly (divine) throne endures for ever and ever. Your royal scepter is a scepter of equity; 7 you love righteousness and hate wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed YOU with the oil of gladness ABOVE YOUR FELLOWS.

1 John 5:20 King James Version 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

NOTE: Pronoun proximity doesn't always determine the subject of a context. One example is in Acts 7:18-19 KJV. It has Joseph as the closest noun, but this text is referring to the other evil king in the previous verse.  Another example is in Acts 4:10-11 KJV. If the word "this" in the last sentence is the closest noun or pronoun, that would make the healed man the  stone who was rejected by the builders. This is not true. Jesus is the rejected stone that has become the true cornerstone. A third example would be 2 John 1:7 KJV. If the same logic was used as above, it would make Jesus the deceiver and antichrist, which we know is not true. Furthermore, the "true God" is in reference to the Father, never Jesus. See 2 Chronicles 15:3; Jeremiah 10:10; John 17:3 and 1 Thessalonians 1:9. This is the same John from the gospels as well. Not all Trinitarian scholars see this verse talking about Jesus as God.

God-Head Verses 

Romans 1:20 King James Version 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

Colossians 2:9 King James Version 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

NOTE: The Greek word is Theotes for Romans 1:20 and Colossians 2:9., not Theios like in Acts 17:29.  In 2 Peter 1:3-4, the English word should be divine, not Godhead, so there is an inconsistency here and clear evidence of translator bias.  Theotes/Theios is about the Holy Spirit indwelling with the New Covenant believer. See John 3:34. A divine nature doesn't make us God, so why would Christ be God? The fullness of God doesn't make Christ God because clearly he was lacking the fullness to begin with. Believers have the fullness of God. It doesn't make them God. See Ephesians 3:19. 

Acts 17:29 King James Version 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

NOTE: Acts 17:29 has the Greek word Theios, not Theotes even though both English words say Godhead. In 2 Peter 1:3-4, the English word is divine, so there is an inconsistency here and clear evidence of translator bias. Theotes/Theios is about the Holy Spirit indwelling with the New Covenant believer. See John 3:34. A divine nature doesn't make us God, so why would Christ be the exception. The fullness of God doesn't make Christ God because clearly he was lacking the fullness to begin with.

Granville Sharp Verses 

The Granville Sharpe Rule applies when the Greek word kai (the majority of time it is translated as “and”) joins two nouns of the same case, and the first noun has the definite article and the second does not, the two nouns refer to the same subject. Unfortunately, it is very complicated consisting of six rules with exceptions upon exceptions. Rules #2-#6 are highly criticized by scholars. It assumes that there is only one way to read and interpret a text. This so-called rule of grammar cannot be proven for a first century usage and it only works in the New Testament. It's not a reliable system because it is bias, self serving, and requires a lot of grammatical juggling in simpler terms. It won't produce objective results.

Acts 20:28 English Standard Version 28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. 

NOTE: Some translations have "Lord" instead of God. The ASV translation is one example. The majority of New Testament references for Lord applies to Jesus, not God the Father. This is to emphasize Jesus' exaltation in Heaven. Jesus the Lord Messiah pays with his own blood, which makes sense here. Alternatively, if the church of God  is intended here, God the Father's own blood/offspring paid for sins. The common expression for "my blood" can refer to a child, specifically here for son. "He or she is of my blood." It doesn't mean God the Father was crucified or that Jesus is God. 

Ephesians 5:5 English Standard Version 5 For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 

NOTE: Translations vary. There is an "of" for both Christ and God. This cannot be used to support or refute the Trinity. There is too much ambiguity. It simply acknowledges that Jesus and God are separate beings. 1 Corinthians 15:25-28 shows that Jesus and the Father are separate beings, who are authority figures in Heaven. It is a suzerain-vassal rulership. 

2 Thessalonians 1:12 English Standard Version 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

NOTE: The Granville Sharpe rule doesn't apply. ASV, ESV, KJV, NASB, NET, RSV, and NRSV refutes this. A comma can easily be placed after God. 

1 Timothy 5:21 English Standard Version 21 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without prejudging, doing nothing from partiality. 

NOTE:  The Granville Sharpe rule doesn't apply. Translations vary. There is an "of" for both Christ and God. This cannot be used to support or refute the Trinity. The High Priest charged Jesus before God in Matthew 26:63 and Paul to Timothy in 1  6:13-14, so charging is a common thing in the Bible. This shows that they are two separate beings. Interestingly, angels are charged over the Holy Spirit, which further supports that it isn't a person or God himself. 

Titus 2:12-13 English Standard Version 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of THE GLORY of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ 

NOTE: The Granville Sharpe rule doesn't apply. Jesus is THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER/The Father's Glory. See Matthew 16:27; John 7:39, 17:5; Hebrews 1:3. The Glory of the Father can be considered a title. It's nothing unusual with calling God the Father savior because he is the source of the plan of salvation. A comma can be placed after God or before Jesus. 

2 Peter 1:1 English Standard Version Greeting 1 Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF our God and Savior Jesus Christ 

NOTE: Translations vary. The Codex Sinaiticus (the earliest manuscript) uses Lord and NOT God, so it resolves that problem with Jesus being God. Alternatively, Jesus is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THE FATHER. The Father's Righteousness.  It's nothing unusual with calling God the Father savior because he is the source of the plan of salvation. The Righteousness is a title that belongs to Jesus. The original Greek doesn't use commas. A comma can be placed after God or before Jesus. See 2 Corinthians 5:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 1:30. Compare this to Titus 2:12-13.  Trinitarian scholars insist that the Granville Sharp rule applies here, but are inconsistent with its usage in 2 Thessalonians 1:12. 

Jude 1:4 King James Version 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying THE ONLY LORD GOD, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 

NOTE: The Granville Sharpe rule doesn't apply. "The only Lord God" doesn't have God in the original manuscripts. It was added by scribes much later. The ESV, NASB, and other translations correct this blunder. 

2 Timothy 4:1 English Standard Version Preach the Word 4 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 

NOTE:  The Granville Sharpe rule doesn't apply. Translations vary. There is an "of" for both Christ and God. This cannot be used to support or refute the Trinity. The High Priest charged Jesus before God in Matthew 26:63 and Paul to Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:21 and 6:13-14, so charging is a common thing in the Bible. This shows that they are two separate beings.
