I think you probably need to take some time off. No one here is out to get you. I’ve already explained why I’m not persuaded by your arguments. There’s nothing you can do to change that. My recommendation for you would be to go to the “Christians Only” forums and discuss your ideas with...

“If your theology doesn’t change how you treat the grocery store clerk, something is missing.” - Trevor Sheatz

If they were, you wouldn’t still be here. You aren’t being persecuted by the moderators.

I’ve never sought your approval. The theologians I’ve quoted are trinitarians, not Jewish monotheists. I trust their arguments against you because they are sound and strong. They aren’t going after you. With your reasoning, that should tell you something. Only if and as long as I abide by...

I’m not persuaded by you, man. I’ve told you why. Even your own theologians don’t believe - aren’t persuaded by - what you’re asking me to believe. I believe what the people who lived in those days believed. That’s solid ground. I’m not seeking your approval. (You don’t and won’t have mine as...

I’m listening to them, not you. I know as well as they do that you’re reading your theology into the text, not out of it. It’s impossible for me to be persuaded by that. Trinitarians vs. you. I’m going with the educated trinitarians. If you can’t persuade them, you have no chance of persuading me.

I’m quoting trinitarian scholarship against you. It supports my position and rejects yours. When even trinitarian scholars reject your position, how much more am I going to?

“Christians have traditionally seen [Genesis 1:26] as adumbrating the Trinity. It is now universally admitted that this was not what the plural meant to the original author.” (Gordon J. Wenham, Word Biblical Commentary on Genesis, Vol. 1, p. 27) You’re reading your position into the verse. It...

Yes, but only functionally equal. “The Father is greater than I” (John 14:28). The Messiah’s God is above the Messiah. Your spirit is you. God’s Spirit is God. “The plural form of the verb has been the subject of much discussion through the years, and not surprisingly several suggestions...

She hasn’t been raptured. She posted this message on her YouTube channel today: As you can see for yourself, she has prophesied that it will be one more week before Jesus comes, and she invites her readers to stone her if her prophesy doesn’t come to pass. It won’t.

That can happen occasionally. Don’t beat yourself up over it. One of the good things about our “ten program” is that if either one of us gets behind a day or two, it’s not hard to quickly catch up and get right back on track. I finished today’s ten. *** @JLB thank you for encouraging him.

Offered for your consideration, a reading tip:

She clearly doesn’t understand what you’re saying. She hasn’t done the reading that is necessary to understand you and she isn’t going to. It was never her intention to slander you. Are you going to report her or show her mercy and grace?

Yahweh is speaking prophetically to someone who isn’t Yahweh. @David in NJ knows this is true. That is why he doesn’t, and can’t, see that it is the Father speaking here to Jesus, the Messiah, his Son. That’s why he doesn’t, and can’t, say that the AMP is correct. That is why he says, and must...

It bears repeating -> elohim is a Hebrew word which is always, without exception, plural in form but almost never plural in meaning. “Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, Son of the living God.” - Peter’s confession (Matthew 16:16). Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah, Son of the living elohim. In...

You were given the exact post number by another member where he introduced the phrase “one gods”. Mono -> one Poly -> more than one Monotheism -> one God Polytheism - more than one god

I just did.
