Trinity naysayers
The old testament was written in hebrew, the new testament in greek. you can look up words in either a greek or hebrew lexicon and get the actual meaning of those words in the original languages the Bible was written in. Words in hebrew and greek have different meanings than in the english language. There are many instances in the Bible where the text could not be properly translated into the english language because no english words existed for exact translation from hebrew or greek. Bibles today reference these differences to give the reader the exact understanding from the original writings of hebrew or the new testament greek. One of the first facts of this instance that blew me away was the first reference of the name God in the Bible; "And God created......" in the original hebrew language the word God refers to a plural pronunciation, as in more than one, as in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. If your plans are to study the Bible it will be very important to obtain hebrew and greek translators or a Bible with a lexicon built in. The english language is just to primitive to understand some of the revelations you will come across in your studies.
