    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    So you don't want to give futility a rest? If it was absent, why has it been a accepted by the majority of scholars and Chriatians for at least 1700 years? In Matt.3:16-17 Father, Son and Holy Spirit were present 1 Pet. 1:2. F, S, HS Eph. 2:18. F, S, HS 1 John 5:7 For there are three that...

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    Yes, I know this is your view. Okay then, that's it. I'm not going to go back and forth with my attempt to dissolve that apparent contradiction - keep it. This particular debate always ends in futility. But let's not get emotionally upset about it. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    I quoted Psalm 2:7. I explained that biologically, Jesus was conceived in Mary's womb and born and on that day He became the Father's Son. This does not nullify His pre-existence as the second person of the Triune God, )the WORD, Who emptied Himself, became flesh and dwelt among us) before the...

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    No, that Jeremiah 1:5 scripture pertains to Jerimiah and can be applied to all created humans, not Jesus. Jesus had glory before the world existed, which was more than a father's twinkling in his eye, or just a thought, as you compared it to.

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    See, you avoid the question, can't answer, fumble and disregard it. > Answer the question: How can He possess all authority (power) in heaven and on earth if He is not God? When Jesus was a man, He relinquished His authority and glory temporarily, and so as a man (who represented us as not...

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    I do admit that Jesus was born and on that day, He became a Son. Yet that does not quite touch upon His pre-existance before the world existed AS ... ??? Answer the question.

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    You guys (@APAK, @Matthias also ) never answer these questions: Jesus was given His glory back after His mission, the glory He possessed before the foundation of the world existed! ( John 17:5) > So what does that mean? What glory? What status ... an angel? This glory that Jesus had and...

    Trump Compared to Augustus Caesar

    Opps, I just woke up. My apologies, I jumped the gun and did not read the article, just what you wrote sounded like a negative liberal portrayal and I gave a knee-jerk response, went into defensive mode. Sorry. Pax Americana? Still, don't think so. His intentions are similar but we have to ask...

    God begets God?

    @APAK Don't twist it around to imply we are all headed for perdition/ destruction. I never implied that about Non-Trinitarians. You believe that Jesus died our your sins, was buried and rose on the third day - right? You follow Him, right? Jesus said, If you believe in Me, you'll be saved...

    Peace and War

    Wars and rumors wars. Jesus said they must take place. When sin and evil are present, they must be warred against or at least be restrained. The Holy Spirit restrains evil through us. Angels fight demons to protect us. We fought for our freedoms to make a great nation. Israel has a long...

    To Speak Evil Of No Man, To Be No Brawlers, But Gentle, Shewing All Meekness Unto All Men.

    #1. Are you aware that principalities refers to not only angels but demonic prince's in charge of certain areas of the world, like China, Russia, India, Islamic countries, who keep people away from Christ and in stuck in false religions? To be subject to demonic powers is detrimental. I think...

    God begets God?

    I have to confess it is the first time I've heard anyone claim that Jesus was a Unitarian. But hey, it's getting late in Texas. You have a good night sleep!

    God begets God?

    Doesn't it seem odd that He would lead the majority of Christianity to believe Jesus is God and a minority not. He is not whispering in your conscience the same words as He is to me. Honestly, He is the Spirit of Truth and would not do tteaxg one person truth and another a lie. So one of us is...

    God begets God?

    The Holy Spirit is the voice I hear in my conscience, so yes I will follow His guidance. He puts thing in perspective for me. Thanks to Him I have a clearer conscience.

    God begets God?

    97% of the Body of Christ ( of which there are 2.7 billion) believe Jesus is God and in the Trinity. Looks like your theology on that subject is made of straw! I'll side with the majority - thank you very much.

    God begets God?

    @Matthias You made the point, that God had no beginning, Gid does not beget God. What you can't still grasp is the concept of God becoming a human as in "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us". The second person of the Triune God, emptied Himself into a fetus, whom was begotten and thus...

    God begets God?

    Nice try, but lacking in discernment, rich in deception though. Let me ask you a question. If Jesus is God, wouldn't Satan try to deceive people to think He wasn't and for what reason? Yes, He would. Why? In order that He is dishonored, degraded to someone of lesser status than God and to...

    God begets God?

    God did not beget another God, He begot Jesus, the only begotten Son of God. "Yet I have set My KingOn My holy hill of Zion.” “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You". Psalm 2:6-7 Jesus' physical flesh was formed in Mary's womb, NOT HIS...

    Is it prideful or arrogant to claim to be "born again"?

    What is your assessment of all those scriptures? There is a common message that most perceive. And you wouldn't even have to be born again to discern it, since the message goes out to all. Jesus offers eternal.life (salvation) - if you believe in Him and if not, the judgment of death...

    Is it prideful or arrogant to claim to be "born again"?

    And there it is, Universalism! That is a nice thought, everyone gets saved, even Satan. But that is not what the Bible says. >>> Educate yourslef!<<< Mark 3:29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”— Mark 16:16 Whoever believes...
