    @Justified misunderstandings.

    The authorities are wrong. The article is an indefinite article, and that is the true rule. Applications of arthrousness are also inconsistent so far.

    @Justified misunderstandings.

    Name are not introduced in English with a definite article. An idefinite article or determiner serves this purpose. YHWH has the blood of the yearling lamb/goat on his sword. Many of which you give are not so. Aristotle says its a function of grammar including prepositions. Whatever. What...

    @Justified misunderstandings.

    No, it's indefinite. A noun, or onoma either has an indefinite article or not. Personal names are not indefinite in Greek, but do not carry the article, same as in Hebrew. Which means it does not need an introductory definite article. You have it all backward. The beginning is already...

    @Justified misunderstandings.

    It is indefinite and make more sense that way as an introducing article. It isn't consistent to say in the beginning unless the article is indefinite. I made a typo. Everything which can be stated according to Greek letters individually can be a word or rather LOGOS. But the word that is the...

    @Justified misunderstandings.

    It is not a definitive article. Rather, you repeated scholarly error which has persisted for at least 4 centuries. Whatever... But saying in a beginning is wrong under old scholarship also. This is inconsistent. In fact, it ignores that many old languages don't need a definite article, but...

    @Justified misunderstandings.

    @Justified said It can ever be "a god." You just assumed that I wouldn't translate it "the God." The theos is not being used in any English sense as you might think. Furthermore, the Greek of John 1:1 Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν καὶ θεὸς ἦν means, in the beginning, it was...

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Scholarly are wrong about the Greek article. It is an indefinite article. I can argue it is them which don't accept the reality. Granted, it is an honest mistake based on middle age English syntax.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Actually, I am rediscovering the syntax. Why trust the "theologians"?

    Is it okay to blame God for stuff that is his fault?

    It won't do you any good.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    It is not explicit and seems pagan Hellenistic in areas.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    I get a lot tolerance here, but it would seem that I would get the same tolerance in the unorthodox theology forum. Still the only reason you call JWs non-Christian is because they are non-Christian in their morals often enough.

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    You think unitarianism doesn't deserve respect?

    Can One Be Christian and Not Believe In The Trinity?

    Being unitarian, I found if I don't slander, and make decent rebuttals, the board doesn't care much. Respect the "orthodoxy", and perhaps they will respect that you believe differently.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    Your interpretation is poor. Jesus was saying if someone considered their parents too much rather than disregarding them; miseo is the verb, that they were unworthy and shouldn't follow him. It is not as you view it, lamely. There seems to be no hyperbole in any your quotes of scripture. Move...

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    God despises and disregards the wicked. If we are righteous, we will have his consideration. A God without hate or disregard of evil, is one without consideration for the righteous.

    "Before Abraham Was, I AM"

    A limited and feeble definition. You quoted a word using a modern Greek lexicon. The classical definition was far different. Explain that. It means to think according to a specific thought. Perhaps it only has to do with reasoning, not consideration. Agape is consideration as "love" and thou...

    If Christian Universalism is true, what's the point in evangelism?

    The perfect question. Where something can be done to redeem a person is often rare, and most people are not evil; evangelism is overrated.
