Isn't it though? My church says that statistics show the last part of a converts life that they turn over to God is their finances. Now, I'm not saying I tithe 10% myself. But I do recognize it as a spiritual issue. Christ gave all for us. What are we willing to give to him? ALL for ALL seems...

Sure you do. And you don't get math. The identity is 3 x 1, which does not equal 1. Fortunately, Scripture is explicit on the matter. There is only "God the Father" and this is unmistakenly in every Epistle. The reason there is no other God (such as, "God the HS" or "God The Son) is because...

More nuanced? I can say I will get my wife another cup of coffee. That's different than somone else actually did. See the difference?

I must have missed that. On what grounds did this go to a governmental court?

Thank you for this post. The disconnect is the claim that YHWH's name appears 200 times in the NT. I'd love a reference or translation that affirms this. Thanks! :)

You mean like Peter did? I really don't understand your proto-thought question. No such thing ever happened. Trinitarians confuse prepositions (OF, 'O, FROM, IN) with verbs (IS).

Ever hear of a converse statement? It is when you change the subject and object of a statement. An example is "all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares." It is an important factor in logic, in identifying what is true and what is not true and why it is not true. I believe...

Huh? You deny Satan is the Adversary who is a fallen angel?

I also say no. 1 Corinthians 15:23-28 is what I call Christianity's End Game. It says when all things are under his authority, then the Son will put himself under God’s authority. It means not all things are yet under his authority for death is the last enemy to be destroyed is death, which...

Very sad. I know persecution of Christians is extremely under reported. Many in Christians do not realize how bad their brethren have it around the world. Thanks for sharing this with CyB.

Wording of ’study’ suspicious.

Not sure how you come to the exact wrong conclusion. A Blacksmith forms his creation by using an anvil. An anvil is not the Blacksmith but only a tool, through which the Creator creates. Best we drop this now. Don't want to hijack your own thread. Too bad you were not able to add insightful...

Colossians 1:16-17 New Living Translation 16 for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through...

We've been through this before. You are relying on a bad translation. The word is not BY but THROUGH. What do you think about the total v partial sacrifice of Jesus? Having said that, this is not the point of this thread, right? I appreciate your question of what constitutes allowable...

Great question! Glad you started this thread. The devil's machinations are insidious. The threat of us combating totalitarian regimes, like in the Islamic world, is that we abandon our principles of individual liberty and limited government. The 1st Amendment only applies to so-called hate...

No struggle at all. Just understanding a different paradigm. I hold trinitarians downplay the one God of Scripture, YHWH, by sharing his glory in violation of 1 Timothy 1:17. At the same time, the justification for the Spirit of God to be a separate person from God is abuse of personification...

In my opinion, this is the best post you ever made.

Well, some people substitute "career" for vocation with the "just" implied when "job" is invoked. To say a professional position is "just a job" means the expectations are not fulfilling the vocational desire. I suspect this is what the priest was getting at, which is a statement of humility.

We rebuke each other. Your stubbornness in pretending John 1 is the only place is Scripture that tells us who Jesus is can be seen by anyone reading this thread. If you were humble, all you'd have to do is admit from the start, that of course there are many places in Scripture that tell us who...

To quo que. Can’t disrespect what does not exist - no matter how much you pump it up with faux outrage. Getting back to the OP; the KJV is obsolete and now the worst English translation available, especially since we don’t talk that way anymore.
