Don't blame it on the trinitarians, blame it on ignorance of Koine Greek.

If Mark wanted the sentence to mean "one person" he would have used the word soma, or a similar phrase.

Absolutely right as to unsustainable. And as to how "one person" would be written, if that was the author's point.

The point about the trinitarians is that they often like to insert "persons" as implied when looking at the New Testament text. And Roger is simply following in the same mode, and gleefully mangles the New Testament.

It would be interesting if Roger Perkins quoted Maury Robertson, or Bill Mounce, on his theory that "person" is the proper translation in a list of verses he would supply. (Note that he does not supply us with a list, however.) Or even simply in Mark 12:29. Clearly stating his theory, the verses, and their response.

Or if he would put his theory up on a b-greek forum.

My point remains unchallenged. There is NO YAH in the Gospels, or in the Epistles of Paul. I have no idea what you refer to as others perverting "his" truth, because there is no "his" truth. The writers of the Gospel, and the Apostle Paul felt zero need to be infatuated over the Hebrew verb, or need to even transliterate it into any of their writings. JAH, YAH, or Escobar, have absolutely no importance in the Gospel, or the epistles of Paul. Who and what he is? Jesus is the Only One we should care about, and His name is the only name which saves.
