* I’m not quite there yet, but I can see it from here. *

* More often than not. *

* Maybe that’s why Jesus was around two years old before the wise men from the east visited him. Maybe not. *

* Treating others this way in our conversations makes a difference. When we don’t, it sends a message: turning people away instead of attracting them. When we say we care but our words and actions signal that we don’t, people stop listening. *

I received another email from the author of The Battle Plan yesterday. In the email he discusses mistakes that he made as a young Catholic (high school age) in evangelizing. I’ll share the first one in this post, and I may share the others in future posts. ”I was debating when I should have...

To my readers. I don’t “skip over other passages” - I don’t skip over any passages - and I’m not “very selective in my reading of Scripture.” Jesus himself is a Jewish monotheist. All scripture supports Jewish monotheism. All scripture supports Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, the Son of the...

When you open with a false accusation nothing you say after that is going to be paid any attention to. Read the Catholic Battle Plan, and learn from it. As for Dr. Brown, I appealed to him in post #142 because he supports my position against you.

“To the only God” -> The Father. That’s precisely what a Jewish monotheist would say. Jude, a Jewish monotheist, sounds like an echo of Jesus, another Jewish monotheist. The Father is the only God of Jude and of Jesus.

More trinitarian commentary on Jude 1:25 offered in support of my OP. “But there is another peculiarity that I would point out in these words, and that is the unusual attribution to God, the Father, of the name ‘Savior’ - ‘the only God our Savior.’ …” (MacLaren’s Expositions)...

Thanks. I watched it years ago. I was gifted a DVD of the debate by one of the debaters. The logos is the word of God. 1 John contains John’s commentary on the prologue. I have it in mind to start a thread on it at some point.

I’m no longer registered as a Christian here. (I always have been on other internet discussion forums.) After a few trinitarian members here loudly objected to me being allowed to become a member of the Board, I changed my original registration from “Christian” to “Other Faith”. The consequence...

* Were they penguins? *

I get it. I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes at the stage you’re in. Just so you know, I’m a Jewish monotheist, not a trinitarian, who believes that Jesus is the promised Messiah. Most Christians don’t think I’m a genuine Christian. Sounds like you’re on your way. Acts 8:12 is the biblical...

* In that case I’ll go to Memphis. They serve up some great Barbecue on Beale Street. Would make for a good “last meal” if it came to that. *

Good morning. I hope you had a good night’s sleep. I’m still working but will be retiring for the night soon. Echad works exactly like “one” does in English and he’s correct that it can denote a singular entity (my major claim). What he calls “compound unity” I call modifying a collective noun...

When was the book / letter of Jude written? Let’s use a trinitarian website because, if you read my post #138 , you know why. (Unitarian websites would generally place it the same range but “unitarian” = DOA for trinitarians. There’s zero incentive for me to bring them to the attention of my...

“We proclaim what we are, finally, not by what we say, but by what we do.” - Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Meanwhile, back at the ranch (Jude 1:25) - “Our Savior - The word ‘Savior’ may be appropriately applied to God as such, because He is the great Author of salvation, though it is commonly applied to the Lord Jesus Christ. That it may have been designed that it should be applied to the Lord Jesus...
