    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    It isn't often I agree with you, but I think you are on to something here. That Jesus said we can all have the same unity with Him add the Father, and even with one another, is a huge promise and flies in the face of the exclusivity of oneness so many ascribe to the Godhead.

    Magpies peck out eyes of people in Australia

    pryrwMagpies are cool. I played for a rugby team in NZ which had a magpie as it's mascot...yes, Magpies live in NZ too. When I moved here to Australia 8 years ago, the house we moved into had two resident Magpies which I fed now and again. One would sit on my knee while we "talked" to each...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Through compulsion and persecution against dissenters.

    Science is bringing us closer than ever to proving God is real

    Congratulations. You now understand the process of fetal growth and birth. But don't have the slightest idea from whence comes the life force that keeps a heart beating, it controls the breath, or heals the body automatically when it's sick. Oooh, that's genetics that evolved over millions of...

    An old testament reference I would give serious regard to is “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. ” Psalms 2:12 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Psalms.2.12 The question NT Jews...

    Science is bringing us closer than ever to proving God is real

    There is no science that explodes scripture.

    You people

    I think the evidence in support for a pre-incarnation Son is stronger than inference.

    Science is bringing us closer than ever to proving God is real

    A dream built on false science and supposition and ideological fanaticism.

    You people

    I think the equality question depends upon where you are coming from. There are 3 main options. Mathias's, as a messianic, as he explained above, the Trinitarian perspective that assumes all 3 members of the Godhead as being perfectly equal, and those who summer described as semi Arian, who...

    Why is ISLAM : Dedicated to destroying Israel?

    Sounds like a parallel to the same crazy nonsense that many teach about Israel doing stuff before Jesus comes back.

    You people

    Should they? The Father spoke loudly like a trumpet at Sinai, and Israel quaked and kept their distance. The Father spoke again at Jesus's baptism, but the Jews were too deaf to hear. Interesting don't you think, that the Father does have a form. And the Son was His image. The Father isn't some...

    The deepest human desire. - The longing to be safe at home.

    I think we, like the prodigal, would go anywhere where our Father is. It just happened to be home. But if the Father wasnt at home and we wanted to be at peace with him, we'd go anywhere for that wouldn't we?

    The Jews who sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, (supposedly) but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. John 5:18 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/John.5.18

    Is your faith defined by what you DON'T believe? - The anti-doctrinal stance

    How about anti lie? “10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who...

    Science is bringing us closer than ever to proving God is real

    A wolf will also eat you if you are alone in the wild. A gorilla in the wild will not tolerate you if you get too close. How many millions of years did it take for species to learn empathy? In the meantime, how did they survive? Survival of the fittest supposedly. But then after millions of...

    Science is bringing us closer than ever to proving God is real

    Science can never explain love. The self sacrificing acts of love on behalf of others. Science is predicated on self preservation. Survival. The very opposite to the nature of the God Who created all things. Science can observe one species surviving due to dependance on the death of others. It...

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    I believe that was precisely what I was saying. And yes, the scrutiny over appetite is absolutely valid. It isn't sidetracking or deviating. It's a God driven challenge to overcome the flesh. “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. ” 1 Corinthians...

    Turn the other cheek, or turn over some tables? - When do we do what?

    You won't find an example of any incident where Jesus reacted in self defence. He did react in His Father's defence... "You have made My Father's house a den of thieves".

    If churches are failing, how can they be improved

    Getting it right about Israel isn't going to cure the church of worldliness and lukewarmness, but it certainly will force apart the current Zionist links between church and state. That can only be a good thing. Who is true Israel? Is it the physical nation fighting for its existence in the...

    We Are Acts 29

    I would draw your attention to Revelation 14:6-12.
