Subject: How do you define cult? |
Bible Note: I only cite Psalm 8:4 and Hebrews 2:7 to show angels are "godlike" as is Jesus. As for your translation of 1 Tim 3:16, you better get a more modern translation. Note the following: Because Sinaiticus was among the oldest original-language manuscripts, it not only revealed that the Greek Scriptures had remained essentially unchanged but also helped scholars to uncover errors that had crept into later manuscripts. For example, the reference to Jesus at 1 Timothy 3:16 in Sinaiticus reads: “He was made manifest in the flesh.” In place of “he,” the majority of then-known manuscripts showed an abbreviation for “God,” made by a small alteration of the Greek word for “he.” However, Sinaiticus was made many years before any Greek manuscript reading “God.” Thus, it revealed that there had been a later corruption of the text, evidently introduced to support the Trinity doctrine. The NIV translates: "Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory." The truth is not disappointing. See what Jesus will accomplish with the authority the Father has has temporarily given him at 1 Cor 15: 24-28. Sincerely. |
