    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    If Jesus is the Word, and God is the Trinity, then which God was the Word with? In this particular verse, the words "goings forth" can also mean origin. Many versions translate it this way and it would mean Jesus had a point of origin or a beginning and therefore would not literally be from...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    I believe, generally speaking, they do believe that they are the church. There are no shortages of old doctrines and writings they can quote, but what they cannot truly lay claim to is the Bible. There are many affirmations of the Trinity or the deity of Jesus in writings, but none in the Bible...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    There is a tid bit in 1 Thess. 4:14 that seems to be evidence that God and Jesus are not the same actor. 1 Thess. 4 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    If I may, since Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Heb. 13:8) then how did he become something he was not before? I just ask this as food for thought. The way I see it is that Adam was the first man, but Jesus is also a man. I believe Jesus is still a man now.

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Yes and amen. I think that is a great way to put it. On the other hand, I do like to share what I believe even if it is with those who will forever disagree. We are all on the same playing field called the Bible, but we are just not all agreeing what it means exactly. I think eventually it...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Unitarianism (which I also believe) is considered to be based more on conventional logic than on theological reasoning. For example, a Son is born and therefore did not exist eternally. On the other hand, in a theological or philosophical argument, the Son may have always existed, which defies...

    May I ask, are you a Binitarian?

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    To be fair, the Bible does not explicitly state what you claimed anywhere, especially in regards to specifically "three persons." However, God is described as one person repeatedly even though, as far as I know, the KJV is the only one that actually calls God a person in Hebrews 1.

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    According to Trinitarianism, God is one being that exists as three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is the standard, but it also depends who you ask. In any case, an interesting anomaly in Trinitarian logic arises immediately in John 1:1. The KJV says, "In the...

    Made Sinless Forever : By the Blood of Jesus.

    Unfortunately, being sinless forever isn't really a doctrine. I wish it were so. It would tidy things up a lot and be nicer, but the reality is that believers who go on sinning without repentance, regardless of whether or not they believe, will be held accountable for those sins and possibly...

    Thought for today

    The Bible is not very specific about a lot of things, but it covers a wide variety of topics. It's almost missing a lot of topics. It's also extremely abbreviated sometimes.

    AI Trolls?

    Yeah forum bots or chat bots have been a thing on forums for a long. Just with AI they are a bit more sophisticated and maybe a bit more difficult to spot.

    Absolute truth - Do we know what it is?

    Yeah but what does it all mean to you? Who ever said "you must understand it in X way or you got it wrong." Unfortunately Christendom cannot agree with one another what the Bible means.

    Absolute truth - Do we know what it is?

    Yes that's true, but I think people approach it from their worldview and experiences.

    Absolute truth - Do we know what it is?

    There are verses that might apply to specific people. Example: God wanted or needed to help some people repent while it's not necessarily true that God want or needs to help everyone repent. On the other hand, God desires all repent yet all do not repent. The way that comes to reason for me...

    Absolute truth - Do we know what it is?

    While it's true those verses exists, repentance is spoken of as a personal and deliberate choice one must make on their own throughout the Bible.

    Absolute truth - Do we know what it is?

    Probably a lot of different things depending on the context. There are some foundational and universal truths and then there are some things that matter depending on where someone is. God, independent of people, I don't know what the truth is that matters to God. Anything He wants I guess. He...
