Emily, this origin hypothesis is inaccurate. Sure, you asked me how the idea first came to me that the trinity was wrong. But that first thought was not when I reached a definitive conclusion on the matter. That was nearly 2 decades later when I began to study religion in earnest. And I must...

Critical to Spiritual health, forgiveness. I’ve said in other threads that there is no Doctrinal Purity test to gain entrance to heaven. It’s all well and good to discuss and learn from each other about doctrinal matters but we ought to keep in mind that is intellectual. Why God tells us to...

I did not know that. Yeshua, it is. So, you are just inventing an origin for I-Zeus that appeals to your doctrinal sensibilities?

You pinpointed why people are turned off by the traditional denominations.

LOL Says the guy who can’t stick to the thread topic of the Book of Acts.

Untrue. Not being equal to God is THE EXACT OPPOSITE of being equal to God. the Father is greater than I. John 14:28

In another thread, you took a deep dive with someone who confused what God did with who God did it through. This model is profound. Throughout Scripture we see God doing things through others. That is the divine model. Just because angels and prophets do things at the command of God, or in his...

It's the same thing with lowering ones "Carbon Footprint." They don't even consider voluntarily not using their furnace, AC, cell phone, computer, SUV's, private jets, or mansions across the world.

I've been wanting to post the final verse from the Book of Acts to close this thread. It's amazing how Saint Luke's work is so strongly anti-trinitarian, he could not help make a parting shot with his last words about St Paul. openly and without hindrance proclaiming the Kingdom of God and...

One valid point in the film was the ratio of large meat eaters to prey, 100:1 in the wild. And how humans eliminating meat from their diet would dramatically lower our land demand for food sources. If the last US election was won by a majority of Americans who believe in this Socialist utopia...

Gosh. If you think Mark 9:38-41 is a weak argument for denomination, please enlighten us with an example of a strong argument for denomination - besides the obvious corruption of the Catholic Church? I really have no idea how you are connecting these 2 things unless you are totally blind to...

I just finished watching David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet, which is a Leftist Analysis of World Population Growth. Two points I want to explore: Confounding Fossil Fuel Economics with Population Growth Downplaying The Death of the West via Suicidal Birth Rates Near the end of the film...

In my Devotional Reading yesterday in 1 Chronicles, I came upon a passage that always disturbed me. It was when God, through the prophet Nathan, told David he will not be the one to build his temple since he has so much blood on his hands; that he was a man of war but the one who will build the...

You got it! Only caveat is that I am not a Judge but one gifted with discernment. The 1st separation is those who can 'meet standards WITHOUT accommodation' as you say. The whole 'accommodating' students while simultaneously advocating for EQUALITY is a shocking contradiction. One of the most...

A word is not a being. It is not the translation but John 20:31 that informs you that everything John wrote was to prove Jesus is the Messiah, which means NONE of what he wrote can be used, according to St John himself, for anything else - including the man-is-god thesis. John 20:31 The Voice...

Thomas responded to him, “My Lord and my God!” CEB Thomas responded to Jesus, “My Lord and my God!” CJB T’oma answered him, “My Lord and my God!” CEV Thomas replied, “You are my Lord and my God!” DARBY Thomas responded and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” DRA Thomas said to Jesus, “My Lord and...

Which contradicts 1 Cor 8:6, right?

You know Biblegateway has many more translations than the ones you selected. Naturally, if you remove all the evidence that goes against your doctrine, then it only appears that the evidence supports your doctrine. In any event, Paul made a statement of faith. Thomas was speaking for himself...

The Bible says Jesus was the first born of all creation and that there is only one God, the Father, which Jesus repeatedly affirmed. See John 17:3.

My friend, the Word of God is alive. I mentioned how most translations don't take it as you do. Make a Blessed Day.
