    It is our death He died... the second death.

    No what? That Jesus is the fountain of life,? “For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. ” Jeremiah 2:13 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Jeremiah.2.13 “10 Jesus answered...

    The TRUE Meaning Of The Little Horn Prophecy For the End

    You didn't seem to notice that my last post wasn't based on reform beliefs, but on Scripture. Prophecy. Not because I am being persecuted, but because the papacy fits every single criteria that prophecy demanded of any potential candidate for the title, antichrist. A single Pope is not the...

    Perhaps the most interesting observation to help us understand the meaning of the entire suffix “-genes” (“-γενής”) in “monogenes” is to see other Greek words where this suffix exists. Notice how, when added to the prefix, in each case and without a single exception, “-genes” results in the...

    Do not human children inherit the same nature and gene of their parents, and are thus born human? Ought not the only begotten Son of the Father also inherit the "gene" of His Father, and therefore rightly be called God? Did not Jesus say, "the Father has life in Himself, and has given the...

    My point in focusing on the indivisibility of the trinity as taught by most churches, is that it of necessity reduces the death of Jesus to a hoax, because if there was yet a part of Him that remained attached to the Godhead, them He didn't really die.

    That indivisible unity between the 3 members of the trinity is intrinsic to Trinitarian belief. If you do not believe in that indivisible unity, a unity that can not be divided and in which no one member can separate from the other 2, then you are not a Trinitarian in the strict sense.

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Yeah, the scriptures tell us that much. But doesn't explain the mechanics. It tells us what, but not how.

    From the pen of Ellen White

    Continued.... Christ was to die as man's substitute. Man was a criminal under the sentence of death for transgression of the law of God, as a traitor, a rebel; hence a substitute for man must die as a malefactor, because he stood in the place of the traitors, with all their treasured sins upon...

    From the pen of Ellen White

    There is nothing which will weaken the strength of a church like pride and passion. If one engaged in the work of God does things in contradiction to another engaged in the same work, that is strife and variance. If we do this to be esteemed or to exalt self, it is vain-glory, and death to...

    Further to the above... And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou has sent. John 17:3 Everywhere in the NT, it is explicitly taught that God sent His Son...that the Son came forth from the Father... that being the case, it is simply...

    Then all you are left with is an insufficient human sacrifice. In fact, no sacrifice at all because your Trinitarian belief demands that all members of the Godhead are irrevocably connected to one another and cannot be divided.

    There are many assumptions being made to sustain such an idea. Sons of God are not always angels. The faithful descendants of Adam were sons (and daughters) of God. The unfaithful children of Cain were the daughters (and sons) of the devil. Christ spoke to the spirits of men who were in...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Sperm? And create a straw man? We aren't told how the Son of God became a human being. We just know that He was born of a virgin, and lived without sin. “Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he...

    You are the one with the issue. I have never claimed Christ was alive while dead. Christ died. Utterly, completely, fully dead. Otherwise we are not redeemed. He died the death that we must die if we refuse to repent and accept His mercy and His death in our place. Death is not a life at a...

    I agree in part. Like death being sleep. But disagree with you on what the passage actually means. Christ did preach to the spirits in prison, as you say, in bondage to sin, and He did it in Noah's day, through the Spirit of Christ in Noah. Just as Christ preached through all the prophets...

    I know that. Oh, I understand that very well, and it of you had been a little more humble you would have seen it in my posts a long time ago, because it is tired to the fact that He is God's Son. Angels and men, no matter how pure and how holy, could not offer their lives. As a sacrifice...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Why is it that you acknowledge above the Father the Son, and thy holy Spirit yet deny the trinity, but acknowledge my acceptance of the Father, Son and holy Spirit, yet accuse me of being Trinitarian? “29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom...
