Authoritative reference. Apostolic writing is earlier and explains perfectly well how the earliest Christians understood their faith. In law, wouldn’t you rely on actual eye witnesses to an event over generations of the information being shared verbally?

So, Jesus did teach about the cross and his example, his death on the cross expanded that theme infinitely. The lesson is something like in keeping your life, you will lose it but in giving up your life, you will live eternally. Required, a pre-requisite is voluntarily giving up control to...

He did say you have to carry your own cross. What’s that about?

I like history. From the point of view of history, how the Christian faith evolved, creeds and doctrines changed, it’s worth reading about the Early Fathers. As far as spiritual guidance, one cannot beat Scripture.

You are very generous with my money. :oops:

In light of how the vast majority of scare mongering predictions are wrong, it is amazing how many zealots still believe the science is on their side.

Projecting. The trinity is not in Scripture and is a 4th century manmade doctrine.

For us, there is one God, the Father. 1 Cor 8:6 Eisegesis is to read into this the trinitarian god.

The man-is-god thesis began in the 4th century. It is foreign to the Bible writers and the monotheism of Christ.

A true believer. Climate always changes. I see now, you are not even making a pretense of blaming man or the internal combustion engine.

The hallmark of science is predictive ability. Regarding the hoax of manmade global warming, scientists predictions have been all proven wrong. Wrong Again: 50 Years of Failed Eco-pocalyptic Predictions - Competitive Enterprise Institute

Proof that Jesus is NOT God is that he is OF or FROM God. For some reason, trinitarians interpret these prepositions - of and from - as a verb, “is.” This contradicts Scripture. The Bible teaches that Jesus was a man (mere man, if you prefer) who was Anointed by God for substitutionary...

Your response, what you say we agree on, is false as it rewords my point in a sham Strawman. I find you’re too intellectually dishonest to have a meaningful conversation.

Yes, you do! Scripture only teaches God the Father. Scripture does not teach a trinitarian god, which is contrary to Scripture. No. Not sure where this ‘essence’ question comes from. God is essentially the Sovereign Creator of all things. Spirit, outside of time and space., he is essentially...

Pathological avoidance of answering questions. Why speculate contrary to what Scripture teaches?

Another one who pretends only they get to ask questions.

Crazy. Just crazy.

Not an answer to my question. Just change the subject when you realize your doctrine contradicts Scripture.

No Scripture verse teaches this. There is no God the son. There is no God the Holy Spirit. There is only God the Father and this is repeated in every Epistle. You could not have missed it. Why speculate contrary to what Scripture teaches?

In the beginning was not Jesus.
