An Appeal to Strawman is a logical fallacy where one re-states his opponents argument in weaker terms - then attacks that weaker argument. The metaphor is like fighting with a scare crow rather than an actual man.
To be a Christian does NOT mean you believe he is God. To be a Christian is to follow Christ.
This is how we use language. Other examples: Aristotlean, Reaganesque, Trumpster are all terms where people follow the ideas of the man. In no case, do the followers of the man believe he is God. Hence, Christ followers are not called Godian.
Trinitarians usurp the term Christian and want it to mean Godian, demanding one believe a man is God.
Wrangler, I'm not going to go back and restate what I said.
I'm more than sure you didn't catch my drift.
I don't have time to fight with scarecrows.
I don't have time to fight.
And thanks for the language lesson...
Is that a strawman, BTW?
It was decided by others, not me, what constitutes a Christian.
Not only does it mean a follower of Christ...thus ChristIAN...
It means that person believes Jesus is God in the flesh.
A Christian is supposed to believe in the Trinity.
And that Jesus always existed.
That He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
That each person of the Trinity has their own work to accomplish.
That Jesus died and was resurrected.
And some other items I can't recall right now.
You may not agree with one of the above.
This is between you and God...He is a merciful God and will be happy that you're following Him, however that may be.
I repeat: This is why I stated that I NEVER say someone is not saved because they don't agree with the above list.
This is for God to know, not me or anyone else on this board.
And again, I repeat: Christianity MUST have a definition, or it will lose all meaning.
We're not allowed to change the definition after it has been in use for 2,000 years.
