Again, the AV has followed the syntax of the original and contains two distinct ideas concerning Christ. Anyone with a proper understanding of both Greek and English grammar knows that a possessive pronoun attached to the second of two nouns does not indicate two persons. A British citizen might say, we eagerly await the arrival of the great queen and our Majesty, Elizabeth II.

Maybe in Mormonism (which is probably part of how Joseph Smith got his ideas.... ).

All jokes aside, please stop the AVolatry.
