Personality is the same as saying personal identity. Jesus, His personal identity, is a separate distinct being from the Father. Trinitarianism denies this. Trinitarianism teaches that the Son and the Father are inseparable. In the words of an orthodox priest, the Trinity is... "We maintain...

I am thankful to @theefaith for his candor in describing the true nature of Catholicism, unlike other Catholics on this forum who choose to hide certain realities behind Their bluster. @theefaith has no qualms about openly admitting that his church has, in the past, used force of arms, torture...

And according to Catholicism... You in particular... The utter removal of free conscience. Which is why the Catholic Church despises the US constitution and why Protestants in America should be deeply concerned with the ordinance of Catholics in government. Freedom of religion and freedom of...

My mother is dead, just like Mary. No-one will find me by going to my mother.

Jesus claimed to be the Son of God (John 3:16, John 5:25, 9:35-38, 10:36, 11:4, see also Matthew 22:41-46). Certain of the Jews regarded His claim as blasphemous (Mark 14:60-65 John 10:36). They knew He was claiming to be God (John 5:18, 10:30-33). It...

You seem to think that 'begotten' means created. I disagree.

We are not deprived however of our choices. We can choose whether we live according to the spirit or the flesh. If, as I suggested earlier and did happen as recent unfortunate headlines informed the world, leading lights of the faith have chosen to walk according to that flesh, have lived their...

Jesus said so long as we abide in the Vine, then we are assured of our salvation. And there are sure indications that we may know we are actually abiding in Him, and not presuming based on preconceived ideas. "If you love Me, keep My Commandments". Obedience. If one is not living a life of...

No. There are ways of using it that are wrong.

Uh huh. So, to have a conscience and living according to what you believe scripture teaches according to conscience, in the eyes of Catholicism is worthy of death. No where in scripture is there any indication that the church is to carry out capital punishment upon anyone who believes different...

I've built the presupposition, or behold?

All of a sudden @theefaith , we get three long spam posts full of religious superstition and assumption laden upon presumption. Are you going away somewhere? Is this a final unload of residual information overload?

You promote this garbage and have the audacity to defend your church's murder of heretics? Seriously? And you wonder why the reformers thought your church needed reformation. So blind.

And how does that scripture justify genocide?

You think He can't defend Himself?

So, the possibility of having ones name scrubbed from the book of life is merely a scare tactic? An empty threat? The person who has an adulterous relationship with a mistress and does without repenting only suffers in this world? And no need to write an essay on "we can do what we like". That's...

Right. So folk like crooked televangelists and big time Christian apologists and pastors etc who fleece their flocks , because they are born again right, can commit adultery, lie, steal, discredit the name of God, and yet not be a sinner because for them, there's no more law right?

But the question is, who was He before His incarnation?

@theefaith before quoting the so called "Apostolic fathers' I suggest you test their teachings in accordance to scriptural criteria... "To the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, there is no light in them". Isaiah 8:20

Until you recognise the divinity of the Son of God, any discussion on the efficacy of the atonement vis a vis God/man/both is pointless. In the beginning John opened his gospel by writing “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”...
