inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> \u201cBecause we were born a child &#8230; Eternal Father, Prince of Peace\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There are several key verses that Christians usually use to prove the biblical origin of the Trinity. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A closer look at these verses clearly shows that they do not prove the Trinity, but rather the monotheistic message of God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">One of the most frequently quoted passages from the Bible is Isaiah 9: 6-7, from which Christians conclude that the Messiah must be the Incarnate God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The passage states:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cFor a child is born to us, a son is given to us, and the government rests on his shoulder; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">and he is called Miracle Advice, God Hero, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace; <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">so that his reign would grow great and there would be no end to peace on the throne of David and in his kingdom, that he would strengthen and support it from now on through eternity. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The zeal of the Lord will do that. \u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The fact that Isaiah 9: 6 has been misinterpreted can be seen from the fact that nowhere else in the Bible is Jesus called \u201cEternal Father\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Since the Trinity doctrine teaches that Christians &#8222;should not confuse people nor divide beings&#8220; (Athanasian faith), how can they accept that Jesus should be the &#8222;Eternal Father&#8220;? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Let us consider additional facts impartially:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">First, all Hebrew verb forms in Isaiah 9: 6 are all in the past. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example, the word that the Christian Bibles translate with \u201cand he is called\u201d are the two words &#8218;vayikra shemo,&#8216; which translates exactly: \u201cand his name should be\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The word \u201cvayikra\u201d is the first word in Leviticus 1: 1, and there it is translated correctly &#8211; in the past tense. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The King James Version translates the same verbs everywhere else in Genesis 4:26 and Isaiah 5:25 in the past. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Only in Isaiah 9: 6-7 will these verbs be translated in the future!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Note that it says: &#8222;A child was born to us&#8220;. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This is an event that has just taken place, not a future event. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Isaiah does not make a prophecy here, but tells a story. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A future event would say a child will be born to us, but that is precisely what the verse does NOT say. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Christian translations take advantage of the word &#8217;son&#8216; by assuming that it is a prophecy for the Messiah and the names of a divine son.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Second, the small word &#8222;is&#8220; is usually not mentioned in Hebrew. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Rather, &#8222;is&#8220; understood. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For example, the words \u201chakelev (the dog) and\u201c gadol \u201d(large) when put together in a sentence mean\u201c the dog is large \u201d, although no Hebrew word in that sentence represents the word\u201c is \u201d. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A more precise translation of the name of that child would be: &#8222;A wonderful advisor is the Almighty God, the Eternal Father &#8230;&#8220;. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This name describes God and not the person who bears the name. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The name Isaiah itself means \u201cGod is redemption\u201d, but nobody believes that the prophet himself is God in a human body!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Third, according to some Bible scholars, the term &#8222;mighty God&#8220; is a poor translation. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In English, there is a clear distinction between \u201cGod\u201d and \u201cgod\u201d, the Hebrew language cannot do this because it only consists of capital letters. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Hebrew word &#8222;God&#8220; had a much wider range than the English. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some suggest that a better translation for the English reader would be: &#8222;mighty hero&#8220; or &#8222;divine hero&#8220;. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Both Martin Luther [from whom our German translation comes] and James Moffatt translated the sentence in their Bibles as \u201cGod-hero\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Fourth, according to the New Testament, Jesus was never named by any of these names during his lifetime.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Fifth, if Isaiah 9: 6 is used to refer to Jesus, then Jesus is the Father! <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And this contradicts the Trinity doctrine. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Sixth, the fact that the New Testament does not cite this passage shows that even the New Testament writers did not associate these verses with Jesus.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Seventh: the passage tells of the miracles that the Lord performed for Hezekiah, the king of Judas. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Preceding verses from Isaiah 9 are about Israel&#8217;s great military triumph over its enemies. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">At the time it was said that Isaiah had written the passage, God had just freed King Hezekiah and Jerusalem from a siege by the Assyrians under General Sennacherib. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The liberation is said to have been accomplished in a spectacular way: an angel went to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 soldiers in their sleep. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When Sennacherib woke up, he found his army very decimated. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">He and the remaining soldiers fled, where he was killed by his own sons. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(Isaiah 37: 36-38). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Chapters 36 and 37 tell of Isaiah <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">how steadfast Hezekiah has remained in the face of Sennacherib&#8217;s mighty army and his blasphemous speech against God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When everything seemed lost, Hezekiah continued to trust the Lord, and for that he was rewarded with a magical victory. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is interesting that the statement \u201cthe zeal of Mr. Zebaoth will do so\u201d that we find at the end of Isaiah 9: 7 occurs only in two other places in the Bible: Isaiah 37:32 and 2 Kings 19:31 . <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">These two passages are about the wonderful salvation of Hezekiah from God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Therefore, in view of the above, Isaiah tells of God&#8217;s defense of Jerusalem during the Assyrian occupation. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Soncino&#8217;s comment also says the chapter is about the fall of Assriens and the announcement of the birth of Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When everything seemed lost, Hezekiah continued to trust the Lord, and for that he was rewarded with a magical victory. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is interesting that the statement \u201cThe zeal of Mr. Zebaoth will do this\u201d, which we find at the end of Isaiah 9: 7, only occurs in two other places in the Bible: Isaiah 37:32

inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(part 2 of 4): \u201cHis name should be Immanuel\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Hebrew name \u201cImmanuel\u201d can be translated as \u201cGod with us\u201d or \u201cGod is with us\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some people, based on Isaiah 7:14, believe that because Jesus was called Immanuel, Jesus should be God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23 are often read around Christmas. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">They say: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Isaiah 7:14 \u201cThat is why the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin is pregnant and will give birth to a son, whom she will call Immanuel. <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Matthew 1:23 &#8222;Behold, a virgin will be pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will be called his name Immanuel,&#8220; which means that God means with us. &#8220; <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">First, the prophecy states that his name will be Immanuel. \u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It does not mean &#8222;he will be Immanuel&#8220;. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Second, Maria never called her child \u201cImmanuel\u201d as required by the prophecy. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">According to the Bible, she called him Jesus as instructed by the angel of God. <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Matthew 1:25 \u201cand he did not touch her until she bore a son: and his name was Jesus.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Luke 1: 30-31 &#8222;And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found grace in God.&#8220;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Third, when we read the context, the birth and naming of the child Immanuel were a sign of King Ahaz that God was with his people who were attacked by two rival kingdoms. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(Isa 7: 10-16). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The promise was fulfilled by God (2 Kings 16: 9). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The name &#8222;God is with us&#8220; means God will support us. [1] <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The name fits perfectly if the child&#8217;s name should show King Ahaz that God is by his side.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Isaiah 7: 10-16 \u201cAnd the Lord spoke again to Ahaz, saying, Demand a sign from the Lord your God, be it down below in the height! <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But Ahaz said: I don&#8217;t want to demand it so that I don&#8217;t try the Lord. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Then Isaiah said: Well then, you hear from the house of David: Is it not enough for you that you make people tired? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Do you have to make my god tired too? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Therefore the LORD himself will give you a sign: See, a virgin is pregnant and will give birth to a son, whom she will call Immanuel. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">He will eat butter and honey until he knows how to reject evil and choose good. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Because before the boy learns to reject evil and choose good, the land will be desolate, before whose two kings you dread. \u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">2 Kings 16: 9 And the king of Assyria listened to him and went up to Damascus and conquered it and led the inhabitants away to Kir and killed Rezin. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Fourth, Isaiah 7:14 in current Hebrew does not say that a virgin would give birth, but that a young woman is conceived. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Hebrew word almah used in Isaiah 7:14 means young woman or girl, not virgin. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Hebrew word for virgin is b&#8217;tulah. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The RSV (Revised Standard Version) Bible is one of the few Christian Bibles that use the translation &#8222;young woman&#8220; instead of replacing it with the word &#8222;virgin&#8220;. <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, a young woman is pregnant and will give birth to a son, whom she will call Imman&#8217;u-el.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Fifth, if something is \u201cnamed\u201d by a certain name, it does not mean that it is literally what it is called. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Hebrews consistently used symbolic names in the Bible. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Many names would cause big problems if they were taken literally. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Jerusalem is called \u201cthe Lord of our righteousness\u201d and Jerusalem is obviously not God (Jer 33:16). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In Genesis 32:30 we are told that Jacob called a country \u201cface of God\u201d. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Abraham called the mountain on which he wanted to sacrifice Ishmael \u201cthe Lord will provide\u201d, but no one would believe that the mountain was God. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Accordingly, no one would believe that an altar was God, even if Moses called it that: \u201cAnd Moses built an altar and called it: &#8218;the Lord my field sign&#8217;\u201d (Ex. 17:15). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Do Christians believe that Elias was \u201cGod Jehovah\u201d <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">or Bithiah, a daughter of Pharaoh, the sister of Jesus, because her name means &#8222;daughter of Jehovah&#8220;? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Do Christians believe the Dibri and not Jesus, which was &#8222;Jehovah&#8217;s promise&#8220; or that Eliab was the real Messiah because his name means &#8222;My God is my Father&#8220;? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Or would you say that Jesus Barabbas, who according to the Christian statement had come around the crucifixion and was released, (Matthew 27: 15-26) was the son of God because his name means \u201cJesus, son of his father\u201d? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Of course not! <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">who, according to Christian statements, had come around the crucifixion and was released (Matthew 27: 15-26) was the son of God because his name means \u201cJesus, son of his father\u201d? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Of course not! <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">who, according to Christian statements, had come around the crucifixion and was released (Matthew 27: 15-26) was the son of God because his name means \u201cJesus, son of his father\u201d? <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Of course not!<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We can conclude that this prophecy in Isaiah is only related to Jesus because Matthew quoted it and not because people called Jesus Immanuel during his lifetime. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Even if his name had been Immanuel, this name does not necessarily reflect the meaning, as it does for the names of other people who are related to God (in the Hebrew form of El or Yah). <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To make the claim that Immanuel means that Jesus is God in the flesh and blood of his people is merely an example of how the Trinity doctrine imposed manhood with the help of &#8222;crooked&#8220; prophecies of the message of Jesus. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Footnotes:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">[1] \u201cThe name Immanuel can mean &#8218;God be with us&#8216; in the sense &#8218;God help us&#8216; Interpreter&#8217;s dictionary of the Bible, vol. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">2, p. 686. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">(part 3 of 4): Alpha and Omega <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some people say that because the same titles &#8211; alpha and omega &#8211; are used for both God and Jesus, this proves that they are one and the same. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It is also said that these expressions mean the eternity of father and son. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On closer analysis, however, we see that this view poses various problems. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Isaiah 44: 6 \u201cThus saith the LORD the king of Israel, and his Redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first and I am the last, and apart from me there is no God.\u201d<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Revelation 1: 8 \u201cI am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, says God, the Lord who is and was and who is to come, the Almighty.\u201d <\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Revelation 1:11 \u201cI am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Revelation 22:13 \u201cI am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">First, the Book of Revelation is an unbelievable book. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Early Christians and elders of the church &#8211; Marcion, Caius of Rome, Dionysius of Alexandria, Amphilocius of Iconium, Gregory of Nazianzus, Cyril of Jerusalem, Synod of Laodicea 360 AD &#8211; argued about it.
