The doctrine of salvation by grace was at stake at the council of Jerusalem; which is why Paul and Barnabas fought so hard to preserve it. If the opposite decision had been made, there would be no Christianity except as another sect of Judaism. Every believer in Jesus Christ would be required...

I say to you truly that the Trinity is now revealed in the things that I have written about it to the saints; for those who will receive the understanding of it. Eph 3:3, How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, Eph 3:4, Whereby, when ye read, ye...

And yet the Bible teaches that there is one Kurios (Lord). Here it is important to make a distinction between Kurios and kurios. When the word is not capitalized, it may indeed refer to anyone in authority. But when it is capitalized, it is referring to that one who is in ultimate authority...

Doctrine was definitely affected by the decision made at Jerusalem's council.

Yes, that is correct. I am not disagreeing with the scriptures but with you. So if you don't want to agree to disagree on this issue of the hypostatic union, come over to my side. Because I ain't budging. The hypostatic union is sound doctrine.

And yet, isn't the Lord, God, according to Mark 12:29 (kjv), Acts 4:24, and Matthew 11:25, and Luke 10:21? This, coupled with the understanding that there is one Lord (Ephesians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 8:6), should tell you that God purchased the church with His own blood, even if you do go by these...

If you feel comfortable rejecting the kjv's rendering of the verse, I suppose I should say, more power to you. But I will only say to you that in these other translators you are heaping for yourself teachers to tell you what your itching ears want to hear.

Okay, I will take those things into consideration; although one of them, getting on my knees and serving those I love, is something that I am doing, whether you are willing to accept that or not. I don't hate anyone.

This is where we will have to agree to disagree; and perhaps part ways. And again, we will have to agree to disagree. For I strike no difference between the two.

How am I going to change if someone doesn't tell me the nature of my problem? What is your purpose in telling me that I have a problem, if it is not an attempt to take the speck out of my eye?

What exactly is it about my response that you consider to be offensive?

Sorry about that. I am certain that even in Mormonism, the teaching is that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of the Lord." I do not say this as an excuse but as an explanation. I do not claim to be perfect and I know that I can be abrasive in my dealings with certain people. I...

Actually I am in agreement with you. The one Spirit, both inhabits eternity and also dwells in the human flesh of Him who holds the title "the Son of God." Now consider the doctrine of the hypostatic union. In it, the humanity of Christ and His Deity are intertwined. He is both 100% God and...

I'm sorry about that. I pray that my words will still have the desired effect that the Holy Spirit intended for you to receive by them. 2Co 11:6, But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

And this: 1Co 12:3, Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Furthermore, I would bring up the following scriptures: Mat 11:25, At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Luk 10:21, In that hour Jesus rejoiced in...

"lord" may be applied to anyone in authority; however, "Lord" can only refer to one Person mentioned in the holy scriptures. Eph 4:5, One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 1Co 8:6, But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom...

The Deity of Christ is a doctrine that is essential to salvation (see John 8:24; John 8:58; John 8:59, John 10:31-33; Exodus 3:14). The Jews understood Jesus' claim to be God...they picked up stones to stone Him for blasphemy on more than one occasion for statements that He made to that effect...

All done nicely to explain away sound doctrine of the holy scriptures. I would point out to you that in Acts 20:28 it says that God purchased the church with His own blood. Mal 2:10, Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his...

Can you reiterate this a little more clearly? Your statement is too vague for me to grasp. Yes, the Son inhabits eternity with the Father (John 1:1); after He descended and then ascended to again be outside of time. The Father is that Spirit. Have you never read John 4:23-24? There is one...
