Jesus is a Jewish man; a unitarian.

You’re asking people to believe that a Jewish man - a unitarian whose own God is neither himself nor the Trinity - founded and is the head of a trinitarian church.

Then you reject Christ and the Christian faith?

All the Christian creeds confess the most holy trinity!

No.



You’re the same person who told me that only Roman Catholics are Christians.

yes that’s correct
There is only one covenant

and the divinity of Christ and the most holy trinity are Christian doctrines to reject them is to reject Christ and his Christian faith

Then why do you exclude non-Roman Catholic trinitarians from being Christians?

Acts 16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.

Paul was a servant of Jesus Christ who is the most high God! Acts 9:16

Jesus Christ and Paul are both servants of their God, the most High God.

See definition 1.

Definition of UNITARIAN

Cp. Jesus of Nazareth.

Athanasius Creed!
(From the early church)
Whoever desires to be saved must above all hold to the catholic faith.

Anyone who does not keep it whole and entire will doubtless perish eternally.

Now this is the catholic faith:

That we worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity, neither blending their persons nor dividing their essence. For the person of the Father is a distinct person, the person of the Son is another,
and that of the Holy Spirit still another.
But the divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty coeternal.

What quality the Father has, the Son has, and the Holy Spirit has. The Father is uncreated, the Son is uncreated, the Holy Spirit is uncreated.

The Father is immeasurable, the Son is immeasurable, the Holy Spirit is immeasurable.

The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal,
the Holy Spirit is eternal.

And yet there are not three eternal beings; there is but one eternal being.
So too there are not three uncreated or immeasurable beings, there is but one uncreated and immeasurable being.

Similarly, the Father is almighty, the Son is almighty, the Holy Spirit is almighty. Yet there are not three almighty beings;
there is but one almighty being.

Thus the Father is God,
the Son is God,
the Holy Spirit is God.
Yet there are not three gods;
there is but one God.

Thus the Father is Lord,
the Son is Lord,
the Holy Spirit is Lord.
Yet there are not three lords;
there is but one Lord.

Just as Christian truth compels us
to confess each person individually
as both God and Lord, so catholic religion forbids us to say that there are three gods or lords.

The Father was neither made nor created nor begotten from anyone. The Son was neither made nor created; he was begotten from the Father alone. The Holy Spirit was neither made nor created nor begotten; he proceeds from the Father and the Son.

Accordingly there is one Father, not three fathers; there is one Son, not three sons;
there is one Holy Spirit, not three holy spirits.

Nothing in this trinity is before or after,
nothing is greater or smaller; in their entirety the three persons are coeternal and coequal with each other.

So in everything, as was said earlier,
we must worship their trinity in their unity and their unity in their trinity.

Anyone then who desires to be saved
should think thus about the trinity.

But it is necessary for eternal salvation
that one also believe in the incarnation
of our Lord Jesus Christ faithfully.

Now this is the true faith:

That we believe and confess
that our Lord Jesus Christ, God's Son,
is both God and human, equally.

He is God from the essence of the Father,
begotten before time; and he is human from the essence of his mother, born in time; completely God, completely human, with a rational soul and human flesh; equal to the Father as regards divinity, less than the Father as regards humanity.

Although he is God and human,
yet Christ is not two, but one.
He is one, however, not by his divinity being turned into flesh, but by God's taking humanity to himself.He is one,
certainly not by the blending of his essence, but by the unity of his person.
For just as one human is both rational soul and flesh, so too the one Christ is both God and human.

He suffered for our salvation; he descended to hell; he arose from the dead; he ascended to heaven; he is seated at the Father's right hand; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. At his coming all people will arise bodily and give an accounting of their own deeds. Those who have done good will enter eternal life, and those who have done evil will enter eternal fire.

This is the catholic faith:
one cannot be saved without believing it firmly and faithfully.

Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of hosts!

How much of that do non-Roman Catholic trinitarians - whom you say are not Christians - agree with?

Jesus Christ and Paul are both servants of their God, the most High God.

not servant but SON

Personally I'm non-denominational because I don't need pastors and ministors to do my thinking for me..:)
There's only ONE we need-
Jesus said:-"You have one teacher, me" (Matt 23:10)

And he's easy enough to understand-
"And the common people heard him gladly" (Mark 12:37)

@theefaith believes only Roman Catholics are saved.
He believes they alone have the Truth. here are some things he has said.....


the one true church has a duty to defend the truths revealed by Christ! And to condemn all errors!

That's a bit hypercritical, sine the RCC is going to be Judged by God as the Harlot in Revelation.


mary is our spiritual mother and queen of heaven and earth!

Bible doesn't say any such thing.


the sovereign mistress of all the angels and saints!

No mention of any such thing in scripture.
Perhaps that's why they needed to make their own writings and call it equal to authority as the Bible.

Again, they will be judged by God as in the book of revelation.


to love Mary is to love salvation!

I can get a person saved by preaching Jesus ... NOT Mary.

Acts 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.


why care what the Jews (Christ killers) think? They have the spiritual mark of Cain for killing their brother Jesus

humm ... a Jew hater?
