The US definitely has a Christian heritage, and when I pray for the nation I even say "O God, who hast been pleased to magnify Thy name amongst our ancestors, and to distinguish them by the particular marks of their piety, continue the same mercy to us, we beseech Thee: that now, in these days...

The Satanic translation shows itself for what it is from the beginning of Genesis and the beginning of John with "active force" for Spirit of God (a deliberate mistranslation) and "a god" for "was God." The people who produced it were not even Christians so I am not surprised that it is that way.

Actually I rephrased what you said, agreed with you, and refuted one thing you said. I agree with you on all points except one in the second sentence I believe. Clearly you didn't read it. In all this time you have simply stated things Trinitarians believe as if it refutes them. None of this...

I responded to all of that far above. In this thread posts #971 and #973 of mine respond to these.

A verse like you made red and bold, not the doctrine. The doctrine is necessary to be there, those exact words are not.

You said person and being are synonyms, are you walking that back now? For if by beings you mean persons then absolutely, God the Father and the Lord Jesus are different beings. You seem to believe that they are not synonyms though.

Non-Trinitarians can be saved, and in fact I have witnessed the salvation of one most likely who was holy like the Prophets of old and whose life was so grace-filled it assisted in the salvation of many others, so I'd disagree with that. Moreover I do think that the Trinity is taught in...

God is in control: so it means He permitted this evil. It does not mean Islam or true or that Muhammad is any more than a false prophet (among many other evil things he did). If God's sovereignty meant what you seem to think then it would mean a contradiction: God both hates murder and murder...

The Trinity is not the Son, but either way it is moot because Yahweh is a name for the Godhead not a Person in it. Prove A1-4 from Scripture and show me where I assert B1 because I assert the opposite. As for C1 I read them simply although you manifestly exclude me from "anyone." As for C1...

Wonderful! It just so happens that is one of the many uses which is perfectly consonant with Trinitarian teaching. So amen: God the Father and the Lord Jesus are different persons. At this rate one day we'll say the Nicene Creed together.

Quoting two verses plainly out of context is a really bad and unbiblical argument. 1) The first is from Deuteronomy 4 where Moses says, "Now, Israel, listen to the rules and to the regulations that I am teaching you to do, in order that you may live and you may go in and you may take possession...

Back to the Apostle's baptismal Creed, "I believe in one God the Father almighty, creator of Heaven and Earth, and in His Son..." To the Nicene Creed recited every Sunday: "I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible..." Back to...

I believe He did teach it, and I do hold to the doctrine to proof. If it was shown to be false then I would change my position (and my Church). I was seriously going to join a non-Trinitarian Church before so it's not as if this is just something I inherited and haven't thought about.

Has nothing to do with your personal language usage, words have a multitude of senses. You could just open a dictionary quote which pre-defined sense you mean. "Being" by itself has at least 5 pre-defined uses.

I believe that the Father is God alone. This is also a Trinitarian claim. Not sure why you act like they did not see this verse when debating it with non-Trinitarians for centuries, but I believe that, amen to it. The Lord Jesus said it, how can it not be true? He is Truth itself! As for your...

Without defining what you meant, except when you equated it to the word "person." Now I hope you are already aware that Trinitarians distinctly confess Three Persons, so saying that "they are different persons" to us is simply affirming what we already know and confess. That's not a revelation...

Disproving any of it's central claims. One could go for it being a contradiction (many have but that is hard to prove), one could go for it not being in the Scriptures (this is hard to prove due to definition issues), and so on. Claiming things that Trinitarians do believe already and saying it...

In any discussion it is necessary to define what you mean by an important word because as I knew beforehand when consulting a dictionary: there are multiple ways the same word can be used. Your refusal to define exactly what you mean when there could be clarity otherwise is odd to me. I can and...

It's a sin but an extremely common one unfortunately. Many do it though sadly, some likely without knowing the error. May God have mercy on them and bring them out of that.

I have seen clips of that show (mentioned above) and yes it is better than that by far.
