It's complicated. You don't need to convince ME! I don't even call it a doctrine...it's a tenet. I'm trying to show that there's a difference. Between denominations there could be different doctrine/teachings. But the tenets must be believed in order for that denomination to be defined as...

Trevor, no use going through this again. Of course God is everywhere. But He did come down to earth in the PERSON of the Son. 1 Timothy 3:16 16 Beyond question, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was [a]vindicated [b]in the Spirit, Seen by angels...

Right. Jesus said a person cannot love both God and mammon. You love one or you love the other... but to love both is impossible since we're taught to be transformed and not be conformed to the world. Romans 12:1-2 12 Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to...

Learn the Trintiy Warngler. Or stop calling yourself a Christian. Christians understand the Trinity. You don't seem to. Jesus is ONE PERSON. He has TWO NATURES. A HUMAN NAATURE. A DIVINE NATURE. Do I need to post again how the Apostles portrayed Jesus as being BOTH A MAN AND DIVINE? Maybe...

Why is it twisted? There are a few different ways of saying something. Let's check out Hebrews: Hebrews 1:1-3 1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 [a]in these last days has spoken to us [b]in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all...

Not funny GH. While Jesus was ON EARTH HIS FATHER was GREATER than He was.

No. It's like this: Our Presdident and sheriff, Trump. Trump is BOTH the President and the sheriff. Plain and simple English and it's the same in the other languages I know.

Actually @Brakelite is correct about the exegesis of the verse in question. Unfortunately some biblical language is difficult for we Westerners and lay persons. This is why it's good that there are thologians that can actually use hermeneutics to exegete. Here is a translation of the verse that...

Maybe I misunderstood. If so I apologize. However, yes, the CC IS the original church. Unless you could name another denomination that was around at the time. In a letter to Smyrnea, Ignatius of Antioch (my favorite ECF) first used the term CATHOLIC. It meant UNIVERSAL...however the title did...

@Grailhunter likes to use sarcasm. I do it myself at times. He DOES believe there are two Gods. THAT is the problem.

@Justified should stop talking math or philosophy with you. When YOU and I were discussing apples I pointed out that your premise was wrong. I SAID: IF we want t define apples AS BEING RED... then YES, every apple that is not red is not an apple. You never did reply..... Because, as ususal...

GH You just repeated that while Jesus was on earth, the Father was in heaven! I mean, where else would He be? So you agree with me. Jesus as the 2nd Person of the Trinity was on earth. Father was in heaven. The Son has always been in heaven as Person number 2. See. It works out just as Jesus...

The last days. Yes. New doctrine never before heard of. Starting around the 1500's maybe? Yes. It's called Reformed theology. THE LAST DAYS certainly were NOT when Jesus was speaking about the last days. But in THESE last days, which they probably are... many new and heretical beliefs abound...

Just saw this. Too late to reply. Marking it for tomorrow.... 'night

Just knowing you're around is encouraging! Now I'll say good night for the 2nd time (not to you) but this time I mean it !! :clmSmlx

Because it states Christian under their avatar. The reason they state that their faith is Christian is precisely so that they can use the entire Forum and not be barred from any sub-forum. Some truly believe they are Christian, and some truly know they are not. Admin cannot determine if a...

Agreed. :thumbsupx1 ANALOGIES never work when discussing theology. God is not like anything we know or really understand. Philiosophy doesn't help much either... I like to stick to theology and what the Apostles and early church taught. must go. 'might

Not following along...sorry. This popped up when closing down..... Jesus is NOT a multi-person. Jesus is ONE PERSON with TWO NATURES. And yet you say you understand the "nonsense" of the Trinity! And I haven't posted this in the past 15 minutes.

Is it common? I know that a fatherless family has children that will more readily turn to crime. This is a proven fact. But if you have the stats, OK. Agreed. Much can be said about this. Sometimes OTHER male models are BETTER than the dad. Yes sir. Agreed 100% Maybe it's a good idea to talk...

Right. 2, 4 and 5 are good. But how many churches do this? It's good to have a church family. But when the battles come we're alone. It's me and God - friends don't really help much except for some emotinal support. I'll be it's not enough in a llfe-long struggle. Just a few months had passsed...
