Pastor John, thank you for your in-depth study* on the pronoun, “it”, for the Spirit of God. Maybe other non-trinitarians knew the specifics of the “it” truth, but I think most do not. And the masses of Christianity are in complete darkness on it. I am happy to know that the Spirit pronouns are not “he”, “his”, “him”. What a relief! This is a prayer answered.
In your write-up on that issue, you were graciously hesitant to accuse scripture translators. I tend to see a sinister plot in this by our old enemy from the Dark Ages. The Church of Rome is tenacious in its efforts to regain every power it once had, not excluding the power of persecution. The Trinity is their most foundational dogma. It would be another two centuries after the Arian conflict that they gained the power to punish criminals and heretics, but the Trinity god was at the bottom of every abomination that ascended from Nicea’s bottomless pit. I am a Seventh day Adventist, and we are seeing a revival of non-trinitarianism in our denomination. We were non-trinitarian at our start in 1844 until Ellen White died. After her passing, almost immediately moves were made to make the denomination Trinitarian. Now that is our official stance. But, the Lord is waking up Adventists. I’m thrilled to see it.
I see your concern that the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever, has been tampered with. But the truth will prevail. Jesus will make sure of it. We live in a multi-dimensional deception today. Deception and corruption are attacking Protestantism today. The Bible certainly is under attack. Thank you for your contribution to the sword of the Lord. If we suffer with Him, we will reign with Him. Godspeed.

Thank you, David, for writing. I am only presenting the evidence that is there. It is astonishing to me that more people are not pointing it out. Please stay in touch. I believe that it would please God for us, and many others, to surrender our hearts together to His dear Son and be made one, as He and His Son are one.
To prove that there is no doctrine of the “Holy Trinity” in the Bible is easy, really. But what are we to teach instead of that doctrine? I think you would enjoy my online book “God Had a Son before Mary Did” at goingtojesus.com.
Take care and God bless. Please feel free to contact me personally with any comments or questions.
Your servant in Christ,
Jdc, sr
