(Philippians 2:6) who, although he was existing in God’s form*, gave no consideration to a seizure**, namely, that he should be equal to God.
* He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, Col 1:15
** “thing to be seized.” Literally“snatching.”
you will note that nowhere does this verse state that either Christ is God, nor that Christ entertained the idea that he should be equal to God, why are you trinitarians ignoring this fact and trying to fraudulently claim that it means something other than that?

I ask divesgeester to look up a single verse on a Hebrew online interlinear, 'what is there to discuss'. What's with that? Perhaps you and I are too used to this type of study and research, to actually try to get an understanding of the verse from the original languages. who can say?
I hate to say it but I think I have to agree...

Ok What does God form mean? BTW I used both the KJV and well the vastly superior NASB At least compared with the NWT 😉

Originally posted by menace71It means Manny that he is of course a spirit again and not human and he now has much more authority that he did not have before he decended to earth and then reassended. No where does this scripture say he was God and equal to him. Right???????????????

I'm beginning to think no matter how we answer or explain it's doing no good.
And of course you prefer those Bibles as they have been translated to support the trinity.
