Knowledge does not advance by stifling questions. Rather, it is intense scrutiny that is the cause of truth to be discovered in that it cannot be refuted. Consider gravity. Not too many successful onslaughts. Yet, there was a successful onslaught to gravity. However, it is not gravity, per se...

I'm sorry animal, I did not catch this post until now. You seem to be a victim of violating the law of identity, lost in an incomprehensible collective of oneness. Notice the Freudian slip of the change from definite to indefinite article from one sentence to the next. Also notice the false...

I never understood that. That is beyond using pen names. I suspect your mother did not name you "Hidden In Him." :D

This reminds me of an episode of All in the Family I want to apply to you. Meathead: Everything you say is incomprehensible. Archie: That might be true but it makes a lot of sense. ;)

To whom do you suggest they prove their Statements of Faith? God does not offer proof but faith as the pathway to salvation. Take a relatively minor doctrinal issue, OSAS. IMO, there are verses in support and contradict. As @Taken has said today in several posts, one's belief does not affect...

I heard there are over 35,000 Christian denominations. Obviously, it is not practical to learn about them all before choosing one. Most people prefer not to travel too far. So my guess is proximity is a major factor in choosing a denomination, after family heritage. I was raised Roman Catholic...

I watched this some years ago. It is very moving and a testament to the power of God's grace.

This and angels comforting Jesus in the desert are 2 things that undermine the claim that Jesus was 100% man. Hardly ever do prophets and angels appear when I pray. YMMV.

You are not required to post in threads that don't interest you. :cool:

Nowhere is this in Scripture. On the contrary, Jesus said he has a God who is the only true God. Given that Jesus did not teach the trinity, why do you?

To say this, you must not understand math.

Welcome to the forum. :)

I totally relate! What you need is to shift from being a taste tester to embrace a purpose driven life. We all need this. I feel I mostly lost that after I raised my family and got divorced. I started a thread yesterday about being at the nadir after being at the mountain top. I'm afraid forum...

Agreed. There are a number of divisive posts on this Memorial Day. I wish Jesus were here already. In the meantime, I pray for God's children everyday - even those that curse me.

Re-read the OP. He explained it well. My 1st post (Post #10) in this thread explained fairly well also. I know Jesus is mortal. It is a historical fact that he died. This is how we know he is not God, who is immortal. See the difference?

I too have asked this question many times, most recently to 2 pastors in writing. The answers were disappointing to say the least, both saying Scripture is 'clear' followed by the usual vague verses that are nothing like The nature of God is a trinity - consisting of the Father, Son & Holy...

10 years after beating Muhammad Ali, Leon Spinks was homeless. In honor of the Obi Kenobi series starting this weekend, 10 years after beating Vader at Mustafar, Ben was doing menial work eking out a living, sleeping in a cave as a hermit. He was a broken, shell of a man, unable to reach out to...

Never is the title "Christian" meaningless. Perhaps less precise than <denomination> but as another pointed out, that may not fully reflect an individual's beliefs. I too like the idea of declaring denomination but for different reasons. I thought forums dedicated to denominational focus would...

Worst possible approach. Anti-Scriptural. I am a Biblical unitarian attending a non-denominational church (that formerly was Methodist). For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Cor 3:17

Trinitarians have a + dogma. While they agree with everything above, they assert he is also his own Father, who alone is God.
