I honestly don't understand Arianism or any of its sister heresies on the nature and divinity of Christ. The non-Trinitarians point to Scripture saying there is no evidence for God's Trinitarian nature, yet John 1:1 is as succint and to the point as possible. Jesus is the Word. He is with God and He is God. You can't say it any more clearly.

The best I've seen from the non-Trinitarians are some Old Testament verses and claims that the Bible was translated in a corrupt fashion or revised at a later point, not with a shred of proof of course.

John 1:1 is such a powerful verse that the Jehovah's Witnesses, the flagbearers of Arianism today, went out of their way to fraudulently re-translate it. Obviously, they didn't think it was some obscure, allegorical statement that could just be shrugged off.

Pul-eeze!

Not even a nod to Timothy and Galations?

John 1 isn't all that big a bugaboo but it requires some mastery of FUNDAMENTAL research and interpretation skills that 95% of those on this thread have demonstrated that they lack.

The mere fact that someone leads off with John 1 shows that they are willing to build or support doctrine based on one scripture and ignore dozens of clearly written contradictory scriptures.
