Chapter 10: The False Trinity Doctrine

You must also interpret Scripture in the context of other Scripture and

within the greater context of God Almighty and His relationship to Jesus as His Son. Since it is clear that Jesus is speaking for God [v2] and sits at the right hand of God [v3], it must also be correct that the word “to” should really be “of” in verse 8 of the NKJV and other translations. The verse is

then correctly read “But of the Son, he [Jesus] says [to God Almighty], ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom?” Note that “righteousness” is the scepter of the kingdom of God. What about your own righteousness, do you have some?

The author of Hebrews is unknown and chapter 1 verse 9 complicates the discussion because it is esoteric in nature. Verse 9 [not shown] is out of context with the prior 8 verses and appears to be a repeat of Psalms 45:7. Back to verse 8. If this was interpreted to read, “But to the Son, He [God]

says: ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever’ ”— then, you are “making” Jesus God. You also have a direct contradiction with Revelation statements and the Seating arrangements at the throne. Consider Rev. 5:4-9 …

“So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. [5] But one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.’ [6] And I looked, and behold, in

the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. [7] Then he [Jesus] came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him [God]

who sat on the throne. [8] Now when he [Jesus] had taken the scroll [from God], the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb [Jesus], each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. [9] And they sang a new song, saying:

You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For you were slain,

And have redeemed us to God by your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation.”
