There are some verses that non-trinitarians like most, because those verses say about both Jesus and "The only God". Have a look at them:
Jn 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
(NIV)
Kor 8:6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
(NIV)
Tyt 2:5
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
(NIV)
But they haven't noticed, that one of them is against their interpretation. It is that:
Kor 8:6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
(NIV)
If they claim, that The Father is the only God and in this way Jesus isn't God, let them be consistent!!! If Jesus cannot be God then Father cannot be Lord, because Lord is only one, and Jesus is this Lord! Let's look at similar verses:
Jude 1:4
For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign (gr. 'despotEs') and Lord (gr. 'Lord').
(NIV)
In this verse Jesus is called only Sovereign and Lord although the Father is called both Sovereign and Lord as well:
Act 4:24-27
24. When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. "Sovereign Lord," (gr. despotEs) they said, "you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.
25. You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: "'Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
26. The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord (gr. kurios) and against his Anointed One.'
27. Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.
(NIV)
Non-trinitarians seeing those verses:
Rev 19:13-16
13. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
15. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
(NIV)
have to say that Jesus is the Lord of His Father, because He is a greater Lord than His Father!
If Jehovah's Witnesses insist that in verse Act 4:26 should be JHVH, let's show them that verse:
Ps 8:1
1. O Jehovah our Lord, how majestic your name is in all the earth, You whose dignity is recounted above the heavens!
(NWT)
What is more, seeing this verse:
Mr 12:29
29. "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
(NIV)
non-trinitarians have to say, that the Bible contradicts itself!
