On these two points we are very much in agreement :)

I do enjoy coming to understand other people's points of views, even those that I disagree with. Trying to understand your POV is why I asked, not to discover Truth. Especially when I'm trapped at work super late ;P I will admit that your answer very much confused me. But you have a good...

101G, I'm trying to understand your view here better. Do you believe that the Father, Son, and Spirit are all one person, taking on different roles? Thank you for taking the time to briefly answer my question.

How about we take this simple approach: Father, Son, Spirit: they are three different persons-- Christ doesn't pray to Himself, He prays to the Father. Agreed? (Yes, they are also one, God, acknowledging that). The person God the Son was born of a virgin. The person God the Father stayed in...

That type of formatting makes a person points clear, and is used newspapers, informational brochures, presentations, essays, etc. Helping people understand a point then allows a person to learn or have an informed discussion (rather than arguing without understanding what the OP was about)...

A) Main thesis, 2 sentences. B) 2-3 points I would like to talk about, 1 sentence each. C) Details about each of these points, spending a paragraph or post on each. Quite the opposite.

*shrug* I was just giving his to help convey your thoughts better to other people. If you're not interested, that's fine. Have a nice night.

Hindsight in indeed 20/20. May I suggest pulling out a two sentence summary of post #5, followed by any particular points (<3) you'd particularly like to talk about?

This is a very long post. A more concise summary thesis would probably be more effective, and then use the longer details for supporting information.

What is this discussion about?

The fact that some people are adamant pro-OSAS believers and some are adamant anti-OSAS believers is something that anyone who spends time of here will get loud and clear.

That takes lots of guts and humility to say and mean it. I haven't read the entirety of this thread, but for this point you have my admiration.

Don't call other people's relationships with divinity to be "fantasies" unless you're willing to also have your relationship with divinity called a "fantasy". We are called to walk with God, each person discerning right from wrong with Him. But not to pretend we understand another person's...

Already have :) And the Spirit is the one whom testifies of scripture in the first place. God is the Alpha and the Omega.

AND His Spirit. God is not dead. God is not mute. God lives. Loves each of us. Being a Christian is being His disciple, having that direct personal relationship with Him. That relationship is not a "cop out". It's everything.

Is God dead? If not, then why do you not talk to Him?

Ask Him. Test His words. Listen. That relationship is foundational to being a Christian: His disciple.

It is the ultimate answer, as He is the ultimate source of Truth and everything. All other things are lesser.

As I just said: God's Truth never contradicts itself. But He can contradict man's limited understanding of His Truth.

Ask God yourself.
