Examine the Verse
Mark 1:24
This verse is claimed to imply support to the Trinitarian belief in the the
pre-existence and/or divinity of Jesus Christ.

	saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” (Mark 1:24, New King James Version)
	Trinitarian Belief in God and Jesus Christ:  Trinitarians believe in the Trinity, that God is the "Triune God" existing as three persons― God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, but one being. All three are eternal with no beginning. Members of the Trinity are co-equal and co-eternal, one in essence, nature, power, action, and will. Trinitarians believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal second person "God the Son", who took on a human body and nature and became both man and God.  Thus is Jesus is fully man and fully God simultaneously.
	Apostle's admonition, warning and unique way of teaching: 1. No prophecy of scripture is a matter of personal interpretation. (II Pt. 1:20, NAB) 2. Do not go beyond  what is written. (I Cor. 4:6, NIV)  3. We do not use words of human wisdom. We speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. (1 Cor. 2:13, NLT)

	Points to Consider:
	1.  How can the above verse be understood to mean that Jesus Christ is God when the verse did not say that Jesus Christ is the "Holy God"? 2.  The verse clearly say that Jesus is the "Holy One of God" 3.  Why is Jesus the "Holy One of God"? See answer at John 10:36 4.  Is the verse really about the divinity of Jesus or something else?
