Just read the last number of posts. I see the preference is to remain philosophical. This thread is about the practical. No one has answered how they show live to other denominations whose doctrines they don’t share. A lot of Sunday morning Christians here. Not too many Winter Soldiers...

My thoughts exactly. I think what we are seeing is the proverbial take the log out of your own eye to see clearly in taking the spec out of your neighbors eye. The post was a case study in cognotive dissonance. OP: Love those in other denominations. Post: Should we look the other way on violent...

Oy vey!

OK. This is a bit of a rant. I'm about sick of all these threads that bash on denominations whose doctrines aren't widely shared. At least 3 denominations are routinely targeted here: JW, LDS & SDA. I pray this thread may transform this community from theoreticians to putting into practice the...

Did they break your bones or pick your pocket?

@RedFan, Rev 1:5 says Jesus is the first born of the dead. First means the beginning of a series of like to follow. Is this true? In talking to trinitarians, it’s obvious they haven’t the first clue of the significance of the man Jesus - even though it is explicit Acts 17:31 because He has...

You agree that dwell does not mean is. Yet, you continue to argue a futile point?! Obviously, we disagree. You are trying to impose a tortured take on Phil 2:6 by denying, not only the "gloss" from Col 2:9 but the repeated and explicit proclamation in Scripture that Jesus is NOT YHWH as he is...

Double down on foolishness. It was funny - admit it. Not an attempt. Actually funny that I quoted you admitting you do not see! LOL:balloons: Regarding truncating a verse; I do it all the time so no one can get distracted by other parts that I am not drawing attention to. Jesus is explicitly...

You said it. LOL

You just like to go in circles. Your claim of ‘putting aside’ is contrary to ‘emptied himself’ of the translation. I know you want to assert your knowledge of Greek is superior to the English translations available AND presented. You don’t have eyes to see.

I speak English. Col 2.9 dwells in, like contents in a container.

If only it was written for you to see in black and white available in your native tongue for 4 centuries. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, Col 2:9

I sense you are setting up a trap with these questions, not asking to learn but as ammo to attack latter. The predictable "so."

Try the VOICE with a reference to a vessel. I used the word container. The REV is good also. 5Have this mindset in you that was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, though being in the appearance of God,c did not consider equality with God something to be grasped at,7but instead he emptied himself by...

Taking it too literally. Plenty of people hate themselves. In fact, most haters primarily hate themselves. They just project it on others. I think the Bible is talking about rational people. Psychology services are at an all time high AND overwhelmed by demand.

Great question! Worthy of its own thread. To not know self love and love of others is to not know the fullness of life.

Yea, that’s inaccurate. The Bible describes Jesus as a container where the Spirit of God dwells. Jesus emptied himself of who not what. In other words, Jesus emptied himself of God dwelling in him. The attributes of God is what God has but makes up who he is. What Jesus emptied himself of was...

Yes.

For some reason, you are reading the sentence as if it does not have a not in it. These 2 things are not the same: Equal Not Equal Rom 10:9 So you will be saved, if you honestly say, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. In the above verse who...
