    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Great point! I often say the gates of Heaven will not be breached by lip service. Anyone can claim anything. The action is the thing. And the first righteous thing is faith. I believe the divine standard is deliberately set beyond human capacity. I believe this is because he does not want us...

    Unanswered Question Concerning Jesus' Deity

    If this is true, 2 things: Jesus died in vain for death (total, not partial) is the penalty for sin. Jesus is not the firstfruits of the resurrection. 1 Cor 25:23

    Unitarianism vs Trinitarianism

    LOL. You are putting words in John’s mouth. Saying John understood that Jesus is God is at odds with him writing the most anti-trinitarian book of the entire Bible.

    21st Century Christianity - A brief manifesto for our age.

    So, what you are calling a democracy is actually a republic. A democracy is tyranny by numbers. Therefore, what the Buddha said remains valid, the beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name. You are in a dark place. Your mind, twisted by the penetrating depth of the evil of this...

    A Form of godliness

    We’re you? Sad that you have to pretend that Jesus was ever known as YHWH.

    21st Century Christianity - A brief manifesto for our age.

    Rule by majority. Not rule by majority. See the difference? Examples of anti-trinitarian ruling mechanisms: Veto Electoral Collage Jury requiring unanimous vote 3/4 for Amendment 1/5 to record votes on a bill (non-verbal ascension.) 18: Age Voting duty applies 25: Age for Representative 30...

    21st Century Christianity - A brief manifesto for our age.

    I already have. To simplify further, it comes down to RULING MECHANISM. Monarchy - Rule By Fiat or Proclamation by the Sovereign of Absolute power. Democracy - Rule by Majority. Republic - - Rule By Law. The Founding Father’s wrote about the detestable drawbacks to a democracy. They...

    Unitarianism vs Trinitarianism

    BINGO! Me too. The highest question is WHY. Without it, history is mindless.

    How do you do bible study?

    Wrong. Words are literally WHAT’s not WHO’s.

    Unitarianism vs Trinitarianism

    Most people hate history in general. Oswald Spengler said that nothing is more quintessentially philosophy than history. To have a fully developed word view that integrates all known facts takes a lot of work. For most people, ‘in the beginning’ starts in their lifetime. Anything earlier than...

    Unitarianism vs Trinitarianism

    I recall others but not their screen name. (I try to block it from my memory. :-)

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Sure there is! And I’ve demonstrated an example numerous times.

    Unitarianism vs Trinitarianism

    The reason he respects @GEN2REV view is because the real passion for the trinity is the man-is-god thesis.

    How do you do bible study?

    Yes, by the power of the literal word of God, things were created. A paraphrase of GE 1:1. Does not mean Jesus is God.

    How do you do bible study?

    The reason you have to do this substitution is because the Bible does not say Jesus is God. Supposing Figurative speech must be taken literally is in bad form.

    Unitarianism vs Trinitarianism

    I agree that the verse says believe that I am he. However, this is NOT a claim to deity. Rather, it is a reference to who Jesus explictly said he is, the son of God, his great “I am.” Mark 14:61-62 (VOICE) High Priest: Are You God’s Anointed, the Liberating King, the Son of the Blessed One...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    Powerful stuff there, Lambano. This is why I like to refer to many translations. I often prefer the VOICE: Everyone who has been born into God’s family avoids sin as a lifestyle because the genes of God’s children come from God Himself. Therefore, a child of God can’t live a life of persistent...

    How do you do bible study?

    The Scriptures mistranslated to advance a false teaching. Yes, some languages attach gender to words. The word "logos" in Greek is masculine but that doesn't change the fact that words are WHAT's not WHO's.

    Unitarianism vs Trinitarianism

    That verse does not claim Jesus is God. That you have to resort to changing God's word to support your doctrine is the dead giveaway that it is false. Make a Blessed Day.
