Chapter 10: The False Trinity Doctrine

Page 53

The word “one” is not capitalized in the above verse, which I find curious. So, let’s compile a table of Bible translations. I’ll include Mark

10:18 since it and John 10:30 represent the words of Jesus Christ and have opposing meanings for the trinity doctrine. Those who insist on citing John 10:30 in the belief that Jesus is God, will have to reconcile their thinking with the words of Jesus Christ in Mark 10:18. Now take a few moments to

think about these two verses in the twenty translations shown.

Bible John 10:30 [Jesus’ words] Mark 10:18 [Jesus’ words]

KVJ I and my Father are one. [N]one good but one, that is, God. NKJV I and my Father are one. No one is good but One, that is, God. LIV I and the Father are one. Only God is truly good.

NLT The Father and I are one. Only God is truly good. NJB The Father and I are one. No one is good but God alone.

NIV I and the Father are one. No one is good--except God alone. RSV I and the Father are one. No one is good but God alone. NRSV The Father and I are one. No one is good but God alone.

NAB The Father and I are one. No one is good but God alone. NASB I and the Father are one. No one is good except God alone. GW The Father and I are one. No one is good except God alone.

NCV The Father and I are one. Only God is good. GNB The Father and I are one. No one is good except God alone. REB The Father and I are one. No one is good except God alone.

DB I and the Father are one. No one is good but one, that is God. YLT I and the Father are one. No one [is] good except One—God. AMP I and the Father are One.* [N]o one good except God Alone

WEY I and the Father are one. [None] good except One, that is God. WEB I and [my] Father are one. [N]one good, but one [that is] God SET Father and I are united. Only God is good.

With the exception of the Amplified Bible*, all other translations do not capitalize the word “one” in John 10:30. Is this important? I think it is to a point. The words “Him, him, Me, me, My, my, Your, your, One, and

one” are very intriguing in some verses. At least, from a study perspective, these words can present challenges to the casual Bible student.
