Origin and History of the Books of the Bible by Professor C. E. Stowe, 1868, pages 78- 79. “...in Colossians 2:2, our common text reads, To the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ, but the old Greek manuscripts read, To the acknowledgment of the mystery of the God Christ; and so there are other diversities between the old text and the present one;”
Zechariah 14:9 “And the LORD [I AM] shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, [I AM] and his name one.”
The early Church only had One God that had one Name that they revered. The One Lord and his Name I AM, Yeshua or Jesus was their primary doctrine. Even Trinitarian scholars admit to the historical fact that the real original Church believed in one God and baptized in the Name of Jesus. People reject the One God message because they also reject and hate the very Name of Jesus! They will do about anything but be baptized in His Name. See Matthew 10:22, Matthew 24:9, Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17, Acts 5:28-29, Acts 5:40-42, Acts 9:15-16, Acts 15:25-26.
The Conclusion of Matthew by Dr. Hans Kosmala, 1965, Chapter five: “It is, therefore, not surprising that in the early stages of the spreading of the gospel we find only the expression το όνομα 'Ιησου̃ (or with the prepositions διά, είς, έν, ένεχεν, έπί) in all vital connections. The following list is by no means complete: The name of Jesus is spread abroad (Mk. 6:16); Christ is being preached where his name is not named (Rom. 15:19f.); one cannot name his name unless one departs from iniquity (2 Tim. 2:19); the apostles speak, preach, and teach in his name (Acts 4:17f.; 5:28, 40; 9:27, 29) or about his name (8:12); one prays (John 14:13, 14; 16:23, 24, 26), one thanks God in his name (Eph. 5:29; Col. 3:17), one calls upon his name (Acts 9:15; 1 Cor. 1:2); one drives out evil spirits (Mk. 9:28; 16:17; Luke 10:17; Acts 16:18), heals diseases (Acts 3:6, 16; 4:7, 10), and does signs and wonders in his name (4:30); one gives judgment in his name (1 Cor. 5:3-5) and exhorts by his name (1 Cor. 1:10); one suffers, is reproached, and hazards one's life for his name (Acts 5:41; 9:14,1 16; 15,26; 1 Peter 4:14); one must believe in his name (John 1:12; 2:23; 3:18; 1 John 3:23; 5:13; Acts 19:13); his name must be magnified (19:17) and glorified in us (2 Thes. 1:12), every knee should bow at his name (Phil. 2:10), for his name is above every name (2:9). In fact, everything one does in word and deed should be done in his name (Col. 3:17; c.f.e.g. Mk. 9:41). It goes without saying that one has remission of sins through his name (Luke 24:47; Acts 10:43; 1 John 2:12), is justified in his name (1 Cor. 6:11) and has life through his name (John 20:31); there is no other name whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Naturally, in those (early Bible Church) times, baptism was also performed in the name of Jesus Christ (see above IV).”
