Not an answer to my question about What does this 1 Corinthians 11:7 Scripture verse mean to you in terms of equality?

Going 100% against what Jesus says again! If Jesus says we must eat peanut butter, you will say the most important thing in the whole Bible is to not eat peanut butter. Jesus specifically said dissing him will be forgiven but dissing the Holy Spirit of God will not. Eat your peanut butter if...

We are not equally made. And we've covered this over and over again. One way you know we are not equally made is Scripture tells us we are not equally the glory of the other. Man is the glory of God but women are the glory of men. What does this 1 Corinthians 11:7 Scripture verse mean to you in...

You've referenced this 1 John 2:24-25 verse several times. Sadly, the OSAS crowd ignores verses that do not support their doctrine. I think it would be more humble and Christ-like to admit there are verses in the Bible that support opposing doctrines even though no verse explicitly teaches the...

A very creative interpretation of Acts 2:38 indeed. Seems more like a pre-requesite to me. I do not believe in magic, magical water or magical words.

Acts 2:38 contains more than the ritual baptism.

I'm not sure who is arguing for that. The Lord did not receive the Holy Spirit until he was Baptized. The significance of water is ceremonial and symbolic. Going under the water symbolizes death of our own life. Emerging from the water symbolizes our new life with the Spirit of God in us.

"Equality" tempts us with the sin of coveting, pitting unequal groups to aspire for victory disguised as 'equality.' Don't forget that in math, 'equality' is a constraint. (Coins, quarters and pennies of an equal $ value are unequal in weight). This thread is about 'equality' between 2 unequal...

I think people confuse literal for accuracy. I prefer thought translations, which translate whole sentences and even paragraphs not merely words.

Exactly. You realize diversity and uniformity are antonyms?

You just cannot accept the Bible does not explicitly teach Jesus is what trinitarians say. It does explicitly teach that he is the Messiah. You embrace dualism but not all Christians do. High Priest: Are You God’s Anointed, the Liberating King, the Son of the Blessed One? Jesus: 62 I am. Mark...

Christians do not deny the Son. It's just that trinitarians want to pretend Scripture explicitly teaches the trinity, when it does not.

On the contrary. You are willfully reading your man-made doctrine into the text, which detracts from the Good News. I rely on verses such as John 14:6. There simply is no verse that says The nature of God is a trinity - consisting of the F, S & HS - and if you do not believe this, you cannot be...

It's so important, not once is it mentioned.

There is no such verse in all of Scripture that says anything remotely similar to this.

Agreed. Not that trinitarian imposition onto unitarian text. The true God is alone not part of a triad.

Oh no. My prayers are with you.

It's irrelevant as far as the 1C is concerned.

Contradiction. In addition, 'equality' does not mean equal. See differences.

Wrong. Experiment. Go to a bank and see if they give you 50 cents for a $1 FRN cut in half.
