    Yes. My claim is that Jesus is a human person, contra orthodoxy. When asked, most people respond that when they read the Bible they see and understand that Jesus is a human person. Education allows people to make an informed decision. That’s fine. I appreciate the feedback. I believe the...

    I agree that this is a human tendency. Well said. The choice in the Bible is between Yahweh and idolatry.

    You’re missing the point. @marks isn’t an orthodox trinitarian. The vast majority of people who claim to be have only a shallow idea of what historical orthodoxy teaches. They’ve never truly heard it. They’ve never truly seen it. It isn’t taught to them in church and they haven’t invested any...

    The beauty of the OP is its appeal to the witness of post-biblical church history. More time and attention should be focused on it. Everyone should read the Ante Nicene and Nicene writers. It’s impossible to read them and come away not knowing what is and what isn’t settled Christian orthodoxy.

I asked the question of so many of my friends recently and almost all, save for only one, gave me the wrong answer. Some even became indignant for my even asking the...

    I keep saying “historical orthodox trinitarianism”. That covers the Council of Nicaea (325), the Council of Constantinople (381) and the Council of Chalcedon (451). That is “orthodoxy“. That is where what constitutes Christian orthodoxy was finally settled on by the Church. That’s what you’re...

    I’m simply regurgitating the teaching of historical orthodox trinitarian teaching. It’s what trinitarianism has taught since 451. Sure. Trinitarians decided what Christian orthodoxy is. The powers that be on this platform have decided to make a stand for it. Orthodoxy does not make the...

    More on the deity of Christ

    Orthodoxy teaches us that Jesus is a divine Person, not a human Person. The orthodox Christian scholar I quoted is “making a stand for orthodox Christian beliefs.” That is the explicitly expressed desire of the Board administration and moderators. TAHOT.
