Anabaptist Apologist

This is a word study I did when I first began questioning the Trinity after reading Jesus' words in John's Gospel (20:17). __________ The Isaiah 9:6 Prophecy Isa 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
