It’s very easy to understand why Jesus cannot be a human person in trinitarian theology. (Philip Schaff explains it succinctly in his History of the Christian Church.) I quote their own theologians to them, which is something their clergy should do for them. The most common reaction I receive...

When true trinitarians turn a blind eye to it they are sending a message about its importance, or rather its unimportance. I wouldn’t send that message if I were a trinitarian. When I speak as a Jewish monotheist standing in their shoes, I don’t. The contrast between trinitarianism and Jewish...

I’ve taken a peaceful attitude (Romans 12:18) toward them on the forum; publicly with all and privately with administrators and moderators who have contacted me. The end here may still be the same for both of us.

I had bookmarked this on X / Twitter back in August, intending to ask about it here. I became distracted by other things - on and away from the forum - and forgot all about it. “THIS IS HOW THE VIRGIN MARY DIED ACCORDING TO SAN JUAN DAMASCENO, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH …”...

Death of the body, not death of the person. According to scripture (1 Timothy 6:16), God alone (the Messiah’s God) inherently possesses immortality. It is something, a gift (Romans 6:23), which he has given to Jesus and will give to others, not to all, in the future. How does that fit with your...

To my surprise, a further word on the matter. An incident from the past nagged at me while I was sleeping. Hebrews 9:27, the death of Mary, and e-martyrdom. A few years I ago I asked a Catholic (on an internet discussion forum which no longer exists) about the death of Mary. The Catholic...

Christians and non-Christians celebrate and refrain from celebrating Christmas for a variety of reasons. For many it is a stressful time. With that in mind, I offer this:

Thank you for reading my post. We discussed this a couple of weeks ago. While considering how to reply to this post of yours, I recalled your posts, #796 and #799 in particular. In light of these facts, I’ve decided that the wise course for me at this time is “steady as she goes” with what I...

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed yesterday (which I finally got around to checking a few minutes ago.) ”You should know this as Catholic “ https://x.com/vitus_oss/status/1868381793554231371?s=61 ”And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?” (Luke 1:43...

“Doctrine doesn’t just motivate discipleship. Doctrine ‘is‘ discipleship. To be a disciple (discipulus, mathetes) is to be a learner in the school of Christ. Contemplating, internalizing, and passing on sound (= healthy, life-giving) doctrine is what it means to follow Christ.” - Luke Stamps
