Yes sir. Except you don't want to hear ALL scripture but depend on what you believe to be true. You're looking for excuses to what Jesus plainly stated. When He said I AM...He said EGO IME.....EGO EIMI which simply means I am.... but taken to its full meaning in Greek, it means I AM, I WAS, I...

@Behold @walter Here are some more early church theologians BEFORE the council of Nicea.... and there's even more....: Polycarp (AD 69-155) was the bishop at the church in Smyrna. Irenaeus tells us Polycarp was a disciple of John the Apostle. In his Letter to the Philippians he says...

YOU said you listened only to the words of Jesus. I posted ONLY words that Jesus spoke. YOU do not listen to the words of the Apostles unless you agree with those who wrote what I posted in no. 202 You like to believe what you like to believe and what makes some kind of sense to YOU.... You...

There's your problem Behold. You like to believe what YOU like to believe... even if it's not the same as what the Apostles taught. If you do not believe Jesus is God... and you're following a mere man... what makes you think THAT is Christianity? And if Jesus is God... HOW is Jesus God...

If a person does not agree that Jesus is God... He cannot be defined as Christian. I agree with @Matthias ... Christianity is fractured. It has lost its definition. I don't disagree with God about anything.... How does one disagree with God? The Amalekites being wiped out could be discussed...

This is NOT true Behold. And your last sentence is WRONG. To be considered Christian one MUST believe in the Trinity... one must believe that Jesus is God. One must believe in at least one of the creeds. Jesus was believed to be divine from the beginning..... should I go ahead and post what...

I'm very familiar with Gavin Ortlund. The early church certainly did not look Protestant due to the fact that it was more compact in its belief system. On some doctrine they all agreed. On some doctrine there was SLIGHT disagreement.... It took some time to sort out all ideas and teachings of...

I'm not going to get into this Walter....because, apparently, you do not believe in the Trinity and to be considered a Christian a person must believe in the Trinity. Yes. Jesus HIMSELF stated that He is God. Jesus said MY FATHER AND I ARE ONE. Not one like you and I might be one. ONE IN...

Hi Riven Haven't seen you in a long time..nice to see that you're still here. You say you never met THE MAN in person... How many years you gotta be on these here forums before you figure out THE MAN is GOD??? Jesus was perfect because He was God. So what could we possibly not like about Him...

I hope we have something in common. I love God Father, God Son and God Holy Spirit. :okbro

I'd have to say that anything THE APOSTLES taught will necessarily have to be found in the bible. I don't believe Jesus taught them anything weird that is not found in scripture. However, I also believe that some on these Forums believe stuff Jesus never taught and they think it's found in...

Simple. Orthodox (small o) is just good, ole' plain Christianity the way it was taught in the early church and which dictated the belief system for this religion/faith. Christianity, these days, could mean anything. Some believe it means that they follow Jesus - whatever that means to them...

Some detail would be appreciated...

Is it? I don't know. Right now I'm trying to keep away from too much news. Right now I can't handle what's going on in the world... I find it very disturbing and I have a great feeling of helplessness. I'm told that we Christians are not supposed to worry... unfortunately for me...I seem to be...

Jesus surrendered His human will. His divine will was exactly the same as the Father's will. Yes. I have to agree. There was a reason why infants were baptized in the early church. Augustine changed this reason in the 5th century. Today, baptizing an infant is a mockery, as you've stated...

Well, actually, Paul did instruct the Thessalonians to hold to what they were taught both in writing and ORALLY. He was referring to traditions...a tradition, in this case, means a teaching. Otherwise, generally, I agree with you post. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 15 So then, brethren, stand firm and...

LOL I agree Hillsage. No kidding around with you! And here's how you could make better use of your time... try to study what it means to be a Christian. Stop adding weird ideas to a religion that is ALREADY established and which just requires FOLLOWING by those that believe that Jesus is God...

There is no governmental solution to poverty. Socialism doesn't work. Imagine universal income. Might seem really nice at the beginning... but then will persons have to meet certain "goals" in order to be able to obtain this income? Maybe we'll be given social points that have to add up to a...

Except that between 2012 there has been a great shift in the thinking of humans. Have you seen what goes to university these days? Are these regular humans as we knew and loved them? Or are they brainwashed to believe whatever come down the pike? Also, we're being made more and more poor as time...

Add George Orwell to the list. And some others that don't come to mind right now.
