Introduction (Misinterpreted Scriptures)

There are many Scriptures that are misinterpreted by Oneness Pentecostals. I have decided to create a list of the most common ones on this page. Some of these Scriptures are misinterpreted by most, if not all, Christians, but most of the Scriptures on this page are misinterpreted mostly by Oneness Pentecostals.

My breakdown of these Scriptures will follow this format: I will give the Scripture, then give the common misinterpretation, and then explain the correct meaning of the Scripture. I have listed these in the order that they appear in the Bible. Also, I use the KJV translation when I first quote each Scripture. I do this because the KJV is the translation most used by Oneness Pentecostals, and some of their misinterpretations come directly from a misunderstanding of the King’s English.

Disclaimer: I created this list of Scriptures from my own experiences in the UPC. I am not saying that the "misinterpretations" that I list are the views that are officially endorsed by the UPC or any other Oneness organization. I am only giving the interpretations that I heard time and time again during my years in the UPC.

A note on privacy: The only reason I require an email address is to cut back on spam. Your email address will never be shared or published. It will also never be used to contact you unless A) you request that I write you or B) you email me directly (in which case I will assume you do not mind me responding).

I have no problem with people using a fake name and email if you are concerned about your privacy, as long as you do not create a false identity just to harass other users. I track comments very carefully, and I reserve the right to delete them for any reason that I deem necessary. I very rarely do so, but it is my Web site and I reserve that right.

If you would like to easily create a private email address for use with this site then Gmail or any other free webmail service will work fine.
