How “With God All things Are Possible” Is Misapplied

Jesus declares, “With God All Things Are Possible” (Matthew 19:26; Mark 10:27; Luke 18:37 LSB) —is a prime example of Biblical text being misapplied or weaponized by Trinitarians.
Trinitarians extract this verse from its straightforward Biblical context to force a complex theological formula onto the text. Trinitarians misuse this verse in two main ways:1. The “Proof Texting” of Two Natures (The Incarnation syllogism)
In the broader context of Matthew 19:26; Mark 10:27; Luke 18:37, a wealthy man asks Jesus how to inherit eternal life and addresses him as “Good Teacher.” Jesus responds: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.” Shortly after, when discussing how hard it is to be saved, Jesus says that salvation is impossible except with God. Trinitarians often link these verses together to form a rhetorical trap:- Premise A: Jesus says only God can save (Mark 10:27).
- Premise B: Elsewhere, the Bible says Jesus saves (e.g., Luke 19:10).
- Conclusion: Therefore, Jesus must be the very God mentioned in Mark 10:27.
2. Violating Strict Monotheism (The Shema)
In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus firmly upholds first-century Jewish monotheism. Later in Mark 12:29, Jesus explicitly quotes the Shema: “Yahweh our God is one Yahweh” (LSB margin). Why Is this a misuse of scripture?When Jesus uses the singular word “God” (Theos) in Matthew 19:26; Mark 10:27; Luke 18:37, a Jewish audience would universally understand this to mean God the Father alone. Trinitarians equivocate,“with God all things are possible,” by redefining the singular word “God” into a multi-personal “essence”, or “Godhead”, consisting of three distinct persons. When Jesus says, “with God all things are possible,” he is establishing a direct contrast between mortal humans and the single, sovereign Person of God the Father—not a Triune entity.Summary of the Contextual Meaning
