The reason he respects @GEN2REV view is because the real passion for the trinity is the man-is-god thesis.

Yes, by the power of the literal word of God, things were created. A paraphrase of GE 1:1. Does not mean Jesus is God.

The reason you have to do this substitution is because the Bible does not say Jesus is God. Supposing Figurative speech must be taken literally is in bad form.

I agree that the verse says believe that I am he. However, this is NOT a claim to deity. Rather, it is a reference to who Jesus explictly said he is, the son of God, his great “I am.” Mark 14:61-62 (VOICE) High Priest: Are You God’s Anointed, the Liberating King, the Son of the Blessed One...

Powerful stuff there, Lambano. This is why I like to refer to many translations. I often prefer the VOICE: Everyone who has been born into God’s family avoids sin as a lifestyle because the genes of God’s children come from God Himself. Therefore, a child of God can’t live a life of persistent...

The Scriptures mistranslated to advance a false teaching. Yes, some languages attach gender to words. The word "logos" in Greek is masculine but that doesn't change the fact that words are WHAT's not WHO's.

That verse does not claim Jesus is God. That you have to resort to changing God's word to support your doctrine is the dead giveaway that it is false. Make a Blessed Day.

Our conversation is over.

Doesn't change the fact that YHWH is the only god - who we relate to as father. Deut 6:4 (NOG) Yahweh is our Elohim. Yahweh is the only God. Other translations say God is one (singular) – and no translation says God is 3-in-one. Also, consider: … I alone am the Eternal, the only God. Isaiah...

You were taught wrong. Capitalizing words changes nothing. Not every time in the Bible does the word "word" refer to Jesus. John 1:1-5 are among those times. What makes it more confusing is many translations turn hotous, which mean "that" falsely into "he" and autou which means here or there...

This conversation has devolved to your epistemology lacking. Specifically, logic and definitions. Since you cannot grasp definitions, conversation is impossible. We need to be speaking the same language in order for a conversation to ocurr. And although you use the same words, you apply...

Peculiar answer to a 1 God believing person. Jesus died. And since he was God it means, necessarily, that God died. So, your answer to the question of who raised Jesus from the dead is his dead self. Nice! That sounds logical.

If Jesus is God, who raised Jesus from the dead?

We must have gone over this at least 6 times Mark.

This does not mean that Jesus is God. I suppose you’ve indoctrinated yourself to not even recognize John 1:1 could possibly mean anything else. Rest assured, if the monotheist Jew, John, meant Jesus is God, he would have said it rather than write the most anti-trinitarian book of the whole Bible.

The basic reason it is not taught is that it reinforces a fact trinitarians want to deny; that it was not the theology of the Apostles. It evolved violently over centuries as the Roman Empire of the West spread into Pagan mystics. To say there is one God in 3 persons is to pervert the meaning...

It’s not about practicality. A representative democracy is NOT what America is or ever was. I realize it takes more sophisticated thinking to embrace a good ruling mechanism that is not majority based. However, that is what a republic is.

But the converse is not true. The son’s words are not the Father’s. Jesus asked for the cup to be taken from him. God did not ask for the cup to be taken from him. Only the Father is God - according to Scripture, the word of God.

No verse in Scripture says Jesus is God. Why do you?

You are so ridiculous in taking it literally. The word of God is a WHAT, not a WHO. Even if of God means Jesus is not God. I am of Boston. Doesn’t make me Boston. I was just reminded the Apostles Creed does not mention the trinity or dual nature of Christ.
