It is the proper interpretation of the Gospel of John that everything he wrote was to say Jesus is the Messiah - and, therefore, nothing else. 20:31 makes this interpretation explicit. (Not narrow but explicit interpretation from explicit text.) The assertion that the Jewish mind equates the...

The exact opposite is true! What you are calling explicit is the ultimate example of figurative. Jesus is not even mentioned in the verse you site. That is how you know the verse is NOT explicitly saying something about Jesus. But you reject explicit because it doesn't fit your dogma.

Exactly correct - except not a complaint just an observation that claiming something is inspired by God - that others accept (such as Scripture) - is not the same thing as the RCC making unilateral proclamations of its own power - that others reject. See the difference?

You have no Earthly idea what explicit even means then. NOTE: The Holy Spirit absent?! Jesus is not even in the sentence. Jesus is a person not an attribute of person. Read and understand 20:31 where John explicitly tells us everything he wrote was for a purpose other than to proof the trinity...

I think you know. RCC is an abbreviation for the Catholics church. This was discussed in another thread. Yup, which the RCC is a part. Says you. The Orthodox Church says it is the Church that Jesus founded. It is the Church from which all the myriads of Protestant denominations and sects...

While true, what is your point?

You do not seem to discern councils of men recognizing what is God-given from councils of men claiming the power to give what only God can give.

Sadly, you are not judging the church by their fruit but by what they SAY they do. Of course, the RCC does not claim to contradict God's word; but they do contradict God's word. Again, in practice, they do. It's not that they claim superiority to God written word; it's that their doctrine of...

Not a one. You are aiming to manufacture your text by synthesizing it from many verses. You can "support" anything with this approach. This is why you cannot produce a single verse that explicitly teaches your doctrine. It does not exist. Instead you throw out many, hoping something sticks.

There is your sad lack of humility again. My boss is not an apostle, yet he has authority over me. What an abuse of Scripture! Your lack of discernment is appalling, friend. The fruit of the Spirit is peace, brother, not argumentative. To struggle for the faith (contend) is NOT to be...

There is no such verse! There are verses where Jesus explicitly admits God is greater, know more, sent him, told him what to say, raised him from the dead, etc. Jesus died. It’s one way to know he is not equal to God.

Wrong. You desperately reach for any verse that you think “supports” your false doctrine while denying it fails to explicitly teach your false doctrine. Again, the simple truth is the trinity is not in the Bible - not the word, not the doctrine.

Your posts are argumentative and do not reflect the glory of God. Worse, you do not have the humility to admit you do not have authority over me and many others.

And have been in one as long as I've known you on this site. I pray for the likes of you.

Not at all. If that is what you got from what I wrote, bless your heart.

How about if you worry about what you say. Let those who have authority over me worry about what I and those who are not you say.

Hmmm. I don't think that is an argument against Sola Scriptura. Any argument about Sola Scriptura must juxtapose the corruptions of the Catholic Church. For instance, there is not this passion that the authors of the Iliad are flawless. This is because no group is claiming superiority to the...

You really do confuse A and B. A. being on the same page with others. B. being one and the same being. Discernment, my friend. Pray for it and God will give it to you through his son.

Nowhere in Scripture is the trinity - not the word, not the doctrine. Funny how @theefaith just ignores this basic point for it undermines his cult.

Nowhere in Scripture is the trinity - not the word, not the doctrine. I submit the Great Commission was corrupted by trinitarians. That Jesus never said to bapitize people in the name of 3 but in his name only. The proof text is that is what the Apostles actually did. They obeyed the risen Lord...
