GOD IS ONE
There are many verses in the Bible that explain that God is
One. The Bible — both the Old and New Testaments — never
says there are three Gods, nor did the Trinity ever exist in the Old
Testament. The original copies of the New Testament are in
Greek, Egyptian Coptic, and Hebrew. None of them ever mentions
anything about the Trinity or that there are three Gods.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!”
(Deuteronomy 6:4)
The Bible makes it abundantly clear that there is only one
God. As commonly translated, Jesus quotes Moses in saying,
“Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one” (Mark 12:29;
compare with Deuteronomy 6:4). Paul tells us that “there is no
other God but one” (1 Corinthians 8:4) and that “there is one God”
(1 Timothy 2). The Book of Isaiah 46:6-9 stated: “God is one.”
Then how did the Trinity come about? For sure, it was not by
Jesus himself or by his apostles, who lived with him. They
witnessed everything he did or said. It is because of the fact that
the bibles we have today were written by a group of people who
never met or talked to Jesus himself, nor his apostles. The first
copy was written about 323 years after Jesus’ death. So the
accuracy, then, of these bibles cannot even be near 100%. That is
why you can see that the Book of John is different from the Book
of Mathew, and this is different from the Book of Mark and the
Book of Luke. There are many differences between these four
major books. The Old Testament is considered to be more accurate
by far than the New Testament. Many changes occurred in the
Bible throughout history, from century to century and from one
decade to another. It even changed from one language to another
and at the request of changing the Ten Commandments by some
of the pagan emperors of Rome to the pope, for example. That is
why there are about 27,000 different versions of the Bible existing
today in the world. There are many facts that have been dropped
off, either mistakenly or intentionally. There are some human
influences added to the Bible according to clergy or to the
translator’s desire at the time. This is beside the fact that there was
a great percentage of human errors made at the time because of
the lack of language skills and the knowledge of the clergy,
priests, or ministers who lived in Europe. They never lived in
Jerusalem or Egypt and so did not have a good command of the
Hebrew, Aramaya, or Egyptian Coptic languages. These
languages are where the first translated copy from Hebrew (Jesus’
home tongue) to the Egyptian Coptic language came. In reality, the bibles we have today were never written or seen by Jesus or
his apostles.
Isaiah 43:10-11 states the following. Verse 10: “Ye are my
witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen:
that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he:
before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after
me.” Verse 11: “I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is
no saviour.” Furthermore, Hosee 13:4 states: “God said, ‘Yet I am
the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know
no God but Me: for there is no saviour beside Me.’” And
Isaiah 46:9 states: “Remember the former things of old: for I am
God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me.”
Please note that there are 400,000 manuscripts, and none are
similar. All were written after Jesus’ life by at least 300 years.
There are 233 different English versions on the market, and none
of them is the genuine Bible. The English Standard Version , the
New American Standard Version, the New King JamesVersion,
the New International Version, the New World Translation
(Jehovah Witness), and all others, are not in any way the most
accurate version. The Authorized Version1611 — which
corrected spelling, was brought up to date in 1769, and is the Bible
we have today — all “new versions” are from two corrupt
manuscripts found in a trash can in a Catholic monastery. This has
been documented, and the research shows it. The hype is that the
“older manuscripts are better” and “more accurate,” and “this
verse should actually read as this new version,” etc.
While there are many numbers of versions of the Bible,there are eight primary versions found
in history. There is the Septuagint (250 A.D.), written in Greek.
There is the Vulgate (400
A.D.), the first version of the Bible, which was canonized at the
Council of Carthage in 400 A.D. and written in Latin. There is
Luther’s German Bible (1534 A.D.). There is the King James
Version (1611 A.D.). This is the most widely used version;
however, it has a large number of errors, given that none of the
writers had a decent understanding of Hebrew. There is the
Revised Standard Version (1952 A.D.). It was a literal translation
into American English that used the earliest possible text. There
is the New International Version (1960s and 1970s A.D.). This is
a very good contemporary English version. Another good
contemporary English version is the New King James Version
(NKJV). The Young’s Literal Translation is as close to the
originals as you can get. It was translated by Robert Young in
1898 A.D.
There are dozens of different English translations of the Bible.
Each one chooses different translations of various words to
express what the translation’s authors felt were most important or
most accurate based on the documents they had at the time.
Therefore, “there are several thousand different translations in
English alone, not counting translations in other languages”. One
commentator estimated that there are about 27,000 versions of the
Bible in existence today, and the number increases continuously.
