We must remember that the Old Testament was written before the concept of the Trinity was made by man 4 centuries after Jesus' ascension.

My question had nothing to do with this. In other words, you cannot answer my question by merely repeating your doctrine. I know you believe Jesus is/was not merely an effigy of God. Yet, you are so silly as to not realize the verse you relied on, indeed stated that. Hence my question of...

It depends. It depends on how receptive the audience is to the options. St Paul did not talk about being 'all things to all people' because one approach always worked the best with all people.

There are no other ways to kill than to death. :p

Typical trinitarian tactic: don't answer questions but presume you are entitled to keep asking questions of your own.

Yes but do you get the impression in reading the posts that there is universal agreement that God does create evil?

Do you know the difference between your likeness being shown or manifested on the news and you actually being on the news?

I find it peril to question the HOW of the almighty's plan.

What is evil in this context? It cannot be against God's will if God creates it. It seems to me that evil in this context is another way to identify the horrible and inescapable Wrath of God. When almighty God, the LORD of Heaven's Armies, has committed his infinite power to your destruction...

No. That is an appeal to duality, denying the exclusive nature of Jesus being a man and only a man when it explicitly says he is a man. Not one time does the Bible actually identify Jesus as the God/man or God. As @Aunty Jane pointed out, all verses you rely on have to resort to inferring it...

Yes, I meant a scientist who is a Christian.

Why do you squander your life on such unprofitable threads? You know better than God? And you dare assert God's limitations? That, my friend, is blasphemy. Look it up!

The answer is as obvious as could be. God said some things and did not say other things. While much of Scripture is figurative, I submit the important things are explicitly stated. Paraphrasing the most important explicit statement in the whole Bible is Love God. Love others. The obvious...

Praying for you!

No. I did? Who was that? To be honest, I don't know what a Christian Scientist is but it sounds good. You hang with an intolerant lot eh? On the radio today going to the gym a church ad said one does not have to make themselves perfect to go to their church. It seems like you go the other...

And that offends you? In the dichotomy of ultimate reality, there is heaven and Earth. God is in heaven, right? Where are other Spirit beings? Also in heaven. Man is not in heaven but Earth. In this way spirit being are god like without being God. Indeed, angels are divine as all heavenly...

Equal to the man Adam.

You did say that and are denying the agency of God and his long track record of delegating his work to his servants, such as the man Jesus. The Bible explicitly says the man Jesus and never says the God Jesus. This means nothing to you.

It is the worst translation available in English for 2 reasons: the FROM is more flawed than any other; the TO is from half a millennia ago and no one speaks that Kings English anymore. Certainly not in 21st century America. It is the most important and influential book ever written in the...

Saying that is an assertion but you say it as though it were conclusion. What verse says that only God can be the suffering servant and Anointed? None.
