Two wills or One will?

Trinitarian translation. See almost every other Bible. To prove it, see the
Trinitarian corruption of Ephesians 3:9 in the KJV which virtually no other
Bible has.
>Rev 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the
>Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."
See verse 1:1 for correction. Also chapter 7 where Jesus is standing in
heaven and the Father is sitting down, and Jesus takes something out of his
hand.
>John 8:24 "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins:
>for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins."

Is the blind guy Jesus healed in John 9 also God? He too said "I AM" when
asked a question. In the original Greek, the phrase means more like, "I am
what I claim to be". You know, Jesus said when asked who he was, "What I
have told you from the beginning". He is the Son of God who came down from
heaven, not to do his own will, but the will of his Father. He came from God
and returned to God. The Resurrected Christ is still in submission to God (1
Co 11:1-3, 15:20-28,
Rev 1:1). In John 6:30 (from memory), Jesus assures his disciples, "It is I,
do not be afraid". He LITERALLY said, "I AM" but they did not translate that
way. The wanted to convey the original meaning. "It's me" or "You know me guys!"
>Many more scriputre declare the Deity of Christ. Jesus declared His
>Deity; His apostles' declared His Deity. To say otherwise is to deny
>the Word of Truth.
What about the verses I mentioned above? Do you deny that Jesus and the
Father are distinct? See also Acts 2:32 for another fine example. There are
DOZENS just like it. I'm serious! Be honest with yourself!
