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. (Yes, people have done that; yes, I can see who they are; and yes, I have given them one warning and then banned them.)

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.

A note on debating ("trolling") and Bible studies: The comments are for comments. They are not for debates or for posting Bible studies that you have written. If I find people debating then I will give them one warning and then ban them--even if their views agree with mine. If a person writes a Bible study then I will delete it--even if it agrees with my views.

With that said, please do not be afraid to comment. The trollers know who they are. If you're afraid that you might be one, then you're probably not =)

If you would like to share an article or Bible study then please host it on a different site and then post a comment here linking to your article. If you have any questions about how to do that then I will be glad to help you--even if your article or Bible study disagrees with my views. I am not out to censor anyone, but at the end of the day I reserve the right to delete comments for any reason that I deem necessary.
