On the other hand I have posted many OT and NT Scriptures that emphatically state God is one and that Jesus is a man.
To use passages such as the passage from I Peter, and Acts 2, as a proofs that Jesus isn't a preexistent being would indicate to many people a lack of understanding of scripture, because they don't contradict that claim.
The Bible never stated that abortion is wrong either, but it does claim that killing people wrongfully is wrong.
The Bible may not have a clause for the Trinity, but scripture is clear with us that Jesus is before all things and through Him all things were created. Paul goes a step further to say all living creatures and so on were created by Him. Jesus claims to be "I AM" and says that He was before Abraham.
John 1:18 tells us that Son is God. The Spirit proceeded from God and is one substance with God, the same goes for Jesus. Jesus is higher than the angels. So on, many more verses. The overall picture is clear.
Is the Greek being misinterpreted in all of these verses and passages? We have the oldest Gospels and Letters to date and their written in Koine Greek.The newest Bible translations based on these don't tell us a completely different story.
