I do and will respond this evening to it in more detail.

It’s interesting how fully the ignore feature works. Implied is people I have put on ignore are posting in this thread contrary to the Spirit of the OP. They just want to pontificate their doctrine without analyzing a stand alone idea and deduce where that leads.

Great topic! Just had numerous emails exchanged with my pastor on point.

Strawman. A word is not a him or he. See John 6:60.

No. The heart of OSAS is to deny the pre-requisite action, work, necessary BEFORE grace is established. To double down on this, OSAS invented a time independent forgives for sins yet to be committed. That OSAS is not universalism reveals the inherent contradiction. Action on our part is...

A word is not a who. That is how you know it is figurative. All prophets speak the word of God. The Word (of God) is not a who but a what. The same Greek words are used in John 6:60 that is translated ‘this’ word not ‘who’ word. Jesus is the prophet Moses wrote about who God would put his words...

Action. Needed. Denying. The heart of OSAS.

No. Work. Works. Not the same. What do you not understand about this? No one gets grace without first doing the pre-requisite internal work. No one. Not even Jesus got the Holy Spirit until after he took action, to go to the Immerser and get immersed. This prerequisite work is not a one and...

I am a Trinitarian Apostate.

Hearing is an action, a verb; work, it is. And this denial of necessary action on our part is at the heart of OSAS.

Absolutely not! Work <> Works. What part of this do you not get?

This has been on my mind for a while. If someone is living right with God, they show it by living with such humility as to bring tears to those who are paying attention. I'll start off sharing 3 examples. Rush Limbaugh: Just heard the podcast by Bo Sneardly. The day he announced to his staff...

You're welcome. It also happens to be what my congregation teaches. Anyone can say they believe anything. It is meaningless without action. Action separates real faith from lip service death. Of course, Jesus is the Savior. However, this is who he is, not what he does (present tense). This is...

It is amazing how frequently trinitarians refer to this figurative prologue that does not even mention Jesus while ignoring Jesus explicitly saying his Father is the true God @ John 17:3.

Irrelevant to the point, which is there is one God, who alone is LORD and this is the most important commandment. Some Jews. It does not change the fact that Jews wrote the OT & NT and Jesus fulfills the Jewish prophecies for Messiah. That is, there is not another religion that Jesus fulfills...

My post contained more than the word ‘weak.’ Not sure what evidence you are looking for. My post went on to analyze why the claim is weak. There is a battle song that includes ‘from the shores of Tripoli,’ which implies the US Marines fought at Tripoli. In fact, I read a book a few years ago...

I have it right. All men are created, begotten. Some are adopted. We and Jesus were both begotten (created) and adopted.

I will when. Have more time to review. Are these the lengthy posts you made? One response is Elohim means heavenly beings and is not a term limited to a trio.

You got it totally backwards. The evidence against Jesus being God is overwhelming. This text is explicit. Trinitarians desperately attempt to assert explicit texts like John 17:22 and John 20:17 ought to be superceded by vague or figurative texts, like John 1:1, where they can suppose their...

Absolutely not! One, as in one being. We know this because Jews, who wrote the entire Bible, reject the trinity to this day.
