How is that co-equality if God the Father is doing His own thing while the Son doesn't get to decide?

Yes exactly like a Phoenix from paganism, an idol. Someone died then they resurrected themselves therefore they didn't die. Creates a problem for who or what the sin sacrifice is exactly in Trinitarianism. Did the Son of God die for sins? If so how? Would love to see someone from the other side...

I agree. The theological argument begins with a stated belief and then attaches verses to the belief for supporting evidence, but it's impossible to begin with verses and then attach the doctrine to it. Why? The doctrine is neither explained or described in the Bible. Jesus and the apostles...

The fact that Jesus is still a man is the elephant in the room after all of the debating is done. A man as God, even with the hypostatic union, is idolatry and yet the Bible makes no distinction between Jesus the human and Jesus the Son of God. The resolution is being offered, but very few seem...

John 3:16

I would offer you that it's more nuanced than that. According to Genesis, their sin did not have a direct effect on creation, but according to what is written it was God who initiated the curse that applied specifically to Adam, Eve, and the Earth. Nothing about this effecting the entire universe.

Yes. I have read Hebrews 1 before. Thank you. What were you looking at specifically?

Why do you think Jesus is the creator in either John 1 or Col 1? The grammar doesn't necessitate that God and Jesus be the same person in the easy-to-read version's production of 2 Peter 1:1. If you will look at the very next verse, it's clear that they are not the same person. 2 Peter 1 2...

This verse is often misunderstood, quoted and/or cited by someone as a proof that Jesus is equal to the Spirit, but what does the local and remote context say? In 2 Corinthians 3, verse 3 refers to the "Spirit of the living God" therefore when the Spirit of the Lord is mentioned in verse 17...

I am here to discuss Scripture with other people so that I can learn new things and hopefully others learn things too. There is value in that. What you seem to be doing is using a stratagem in which you reference the same 5 or 6 verses repeatedly. We all have already read the verses you keep...

That would be begging the question. You're beginning with a reference to baptism and concluding it means something not stated in the Scripture. Do you see where a perceived Triune Godhead is neither mentioned or explained in the verse you referenced? You're beginning with a theology and then...

Translation: I can't refute your point about elohim referring to single individuals so keep changing the subject. When you are ready to get serious about this my door is open.

Whataboutisms don't address the topic.

Do you have a reply to what I just showed you?

Read this: Check out Exodus 7:1, Exodus 22:20, Judges 6:31, Judges 11:24, and 1 Samuel 5:7. Elohim can refer to single beings. Why elohim is a plural word and yet YHWH is clear about being a singular person who created alone is because elohim refers to intensification or amplification. That's...

We were talking about Genesis 1 before this. Hebrews 1 is not related to what we were talking about. What you're doing is essentially putting the cart in front of the horse.

I just hand walked you to the truth, having did all of the homework for you, and your reaction is to ignore everything I said and change the subject from the "us" regarding elohim in Genesis 1 to Hebrews 1? Not biting. If you want to stay on track then please answer what I said in my previous post.

Possibly a smear to discredit him or muddy the waters. Hard to say, but as far as I can tell there is nothing Valentinus said or taught in any of his surviving works.

Check out Exodus 7:1, Exodus 22:20, Judges 6:31, Judges 11:24, and 1 Samuel 5:7. Elohim can refer to single beings. Why elohim is a plural word and yet YHWH is clear about being a singular person who created alone is because elohim refers to intensification or amplification. That's why plural...

The Lord in Psalm 110:1, la·ḏō·nî as you rightly pointed out, refers to a human. This is one of those very rare words where there isn't a single exception to it being used of anyone other than humans in all of Scripture. The LORD speaking to the Lord in Psalm 110:1 is God speaking to the Son in...
