That’s your Appeal to Strawman to the Word is Alive, that we have to be instructed?! The HS of God is not an adequate teacher?!

Ridiculous. Peter is just a man and a dead one at that. Not too much work so dead men do.

LOL. My position is the Word of God is alive. Once you wrap your mind around that, recognize it’s powerful figurative language is not only true in context but out of context, put into the context of a living believer. The pastor of my Bible Study was fond of quoting the 1st 4 words of the...

You do like to do laps on ground already covered. A person or being is not a word; this is how I know the passage is figurative. See Brick House by the Commodores. A gal is not a brick house. Therefore, figurative. You are reading into the text of my post what is not there. The proper way to...

This reminds me of the Europeans who bought Long Island New York for ~$15 in beads. For a long time, many condemned the natives for undervaluing the property. Turns out, the did not own the land they 'sold.' A church selling salvation is like that.

I'll trust my own experience with the HS, the pastor and Saint Augustine over your authority. Thanks!

Any and all variants of Lord/lord (lowercase) are not God’s name. I was not looking for occurrences but how many different people or beings that title applies to. Again, lord Moses. Lord Joseph. Not too many people give credit where credit is due.

Honestly, I cannot make out KJV. When I get the chance, I’ll read a modern translation and get back to you.

Are they Paul's words or the words of the Holy Spirit of God? If you read St Augustine, you would know that revealed truth does not have to come from the intent of the words that birthed the revelation to the hearer/reader by the power of the HS. If you have not experienced what I am talking...

The NLT puts it this way: 28 Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.” Do you grasp the difference between MORE and LESS? Mary was less blessed for birthing the Messiah than everyone who hears the word of God (and puts it into practice).

You do not seem to grasp the purpose of a translation.

If the trinity were in the Bible, there would be no reason for the HS to reveal it in the 4th century.

You cannot actually believe that Jesus lied, held out is nature as the suffering servant of God was just a ruse.

What answer do you get?

I’ve elaborated in dozens of posts already. Let me simplify. What does a singular pronoun in a sentence signify?

As usual, you have things backwards. P1. The trinity is not in the Bible. P2. Moreover, there is much more evidence against the trinity in the Bible. C. Therefore, I reject the trinity.

Don’t tell me what I meant by what I said.

Words are not literally people or beings.

Is there no way to reconcile these schools of thought? Our entire justice system & morality is based on Free Will. Having said that, I am not limiting God, who exists outside of time, to know ahead of time, what all our choices will be. Should we let all the prisoners out and defund the police...

Circular reasoning. The KJV translators imposed their trinitarian idolatry onto the text. I doubt they were even conscious of doing it. If 3 agree, we all KNOW what that 3 MUST be, right? The trinity is not in the Bible. So, make it so. HINT: Changing the word of God is not inspired by the Lord.
