Lol, you call me a waffler and then immediately prove yourself to be a sidewinder.

Please answer the question yes or no:

Do you believe that all of the teachings of the Meshiah in the Gospel of Luke apply to you?

Yes or No?

Here we are on page three of your thread and you have still not yet begun your argument(s). Why not just start with John 1:1? Surely you have some sort of argument with the common Trinitarian interpretation and understanding of that passage, correct? Below is the Greek text with links to the lexicons provided at biblehub,com.

Show us all why the following Greek text is theologically incorrect.

John 1:1 Greek Study Bible (Apostolic / Interlinear)
Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος.

------------------------------------------------

For future reference:
The following Hebrew text from the Vatican Library is theologically correct.

"not a Unitarian"...

Another ill-informed stab in the darkness. You never even made it to the actual point that was being hinted at because of the magnitude of your ignorance of the scripture. You had a fairly simple verse with a mere seventeen words and yet you have apparently never even taken the time to find out what each word actually means in its context within the statement.

Clue #2 — G4314 πρὸς -vs- H5973 עם, (for example, study the 2Chr 24:4 Hebrew text).

Clue #3 — "Epiphanius goes on to say that he had heard of Hebrew versions of John and Acts kept privately in the treasuries (Geniza?) at Tiberias".......

1) How do you decide which teachings are for you and which teachings are not for you in Luke?
2) Do you believe Jesus is God? Yes or No?
1) Because Acts 9:15, Rom 11:13, Rom 15:16, 1 Tim 2:7, Gal 2:7-9 teaches that Luke is not sent to teach me how to enter Heaven

Prove me wrong please :)

Scripture is the teacher

The teachings of Jesus that apply to how we today will enter Heaven tomorrow are taught by the Apostle He selected
Acts 9:15
Rom 11:13
Rom 15:16
1 Tm 2:7
Gal 1:11-12
Gal 2:7-9
Scripture is the teacher... unless the Scripture is someone other than Paul?

You did not answer either one of my questions:
1) How do you decide which teachings are for you and which teachings are not for you in Luke?
2) Do you believe Jesus is God? Yes or No?

Moreover, regarding your response quoted herein above, you appear to enjoy creating more work for others to do which you yourself appear to be not willing to do. Why is that? It is your responsibility to quote the passages in their contexts and expound the reason(s) why your claim is true. So, to be straight, your sidewinder topic-shift claim appears to be that the five passages you have referenced teach you that Luke is not sent to teach you how to enter heaven, (which has nothing to do with my question). Therefore quote the passages yourself with contexts and expound from those passages the reasons why your new claim is true.

3) Why did you ignore question #2?

I believe Jesus is the Word made flesh
John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Do you reject the teachings of Paul ?
No. But I do find him somewhat hard to understand. Peter seems to agree:

2Peter 3:15 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

When I find doctrines that only come from Paul... I question that.

I accept what Scripture teaches.
Acts 9:15, Rom 11:13, Rom 15:16, Gal 1:11-12, Gal 2:7-9
Do those verses teach you that Paul is your Apostle & Minister & that he teaches you the gospel ?
If not then why not ? TIA
