Rick has a special problem here, as he does not affirm that "God was manifest in the flesh" is the scripture,

I have not problem at all with 1 Timothy 3:16, and what it actually states. 
What does 1 Timothy 3:16 actually "state".

Do you agree that the Bible preserved scripture verse actually states :

God was manifest in the flesh,

Or do you believe the "correction" of the "editors" who replace God with who/which/he/he-who etc.

Since this is a textual variance, only one can be what the verse "states".
Try, for once, to answer with integrity, Rick.
Which one is the preserved scripture ?

Does 1 Timothy 3:16 state the words :
God was manifest in the flesh,

Which means the versions that have who/which/he are corrupted.

Remember the Norris dance with the Westcott-Hort corruptions, the deadly embrace.

Rick Norris
If the KJV translators could use their reason, scholarship
, or other fallible means to pick out any errors in the differing manuscripts they used, then translators today must also be permitted to use these means to do the same. (Rick Norris, Unfound Scriptures p. 207)

Rick Norris - recent forum post
The proper identification and correction of any copying errors in the original language manuscripts can be as properly done by godly, believing Bible scholars, textual editors, or translators today (Rick Norirs, above)

And notice the word processing above, about what the verse "states".
He will not even say if the scriptures "state" an "only begotten" God.

Incidentally, the questions that Norris foolishly puts in bold above have long been answered.

First Jesus was indeed a person because He was after all, "God manifest in the flesh." You accept that reading as is from the KJV or NKJV, right?
Two things. First, Rick may "accept that reading" but he will not say that it is scripture, and who-he-which is a corruption.  That is the Norris Shell Game, a fancy dance he has played for awhile.

Second, orthodox Trinitarianism actually denies that Jesus was a human person.  In orthodoxy Jesus is only a divine person.  If you say he is a human person as well, you are, by orthodoxy, guilty of the Nestorian heresy.

Just a little FYI
 
Shalom,
