God demonstrated the righteousness of inequality right off the bat in Genesis 1. He created light. Darkness is the default condition without the blessings of God. Not only did God then separate the light from the darkness, he proclaimed the light to be good. This is unequal with respect to the...

God chose the Levi tribe to be priests. This is not equal.

I am not talking about sinners. I am talking about equality. The weakness of your position is seen in your refusal to answer my question. Holy = unholy?

So, you believe Holy = unholy?

Claiming so is irrelevant to the point.

Wrong. Read elsewhere in this thread. It’s already been refuted. A lame and desperate reach using figurative speech.

I’ve answered this several times. You will just have to accept it. I do not care one iota which ‘Jameses’ is the brother of Jesus. I find your entire line of thinking absurd on it’s face! To be honest, I’m not sure the brother of James was an Apostle before the resurrection. For me, ‘James...

To embrace trinitarianism, you have to embrace all kinds of contradictions and accept all manner of redefinition of words. Son comes from the Father. There is no co-equal. And the Bible says this over and over again. 1 Corinthians 11:3 The Voice 3 But it is important that you understand this...

If the verse you cited is true, the repeatedly disobeyed.

This has been thoroughly rebuked. A word is not a being.

See the thread about why the Apostles disobeyed the risen Christ.

‘For us, there is one God, the Father.’ 1 Corinthians 8:6

As I said, I am no longer associated with the church by that name. So, I am a small unitarian. Rather than focus on the man-is-God thesis, focus on the basis is to reject the doctrine of the trinity; that there is one God, the Father (as 1 Corinthians 8:6 days). God selected a servant to to...

And how he did this was through obedience to God and accepting the Holy Spirit of God, which was prophesied to God’s servant, not God incarnate. Isaiah 53 comes to mind. The Bible is explicit on this point: one man brought sin into this world; one man atoned for it. Emphasis on man, not God...

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Oh? I look forward to you sharing this plain Scripture.

It’s this expectation of mental gymnastics that has turned me and many others, not only away from reading the Bible but from Christ. Such mental gymnastics is the opposite of the Good News. The Good News is not dogma; it is that God has revealed his plan for your salvation through his Servant...

Yea, figurative and literal. I am taking the text to be a literal brother, meaning biological. You are insisting the text be figurative so that brother means anything other than biological.

Because that is nonsense, circular reasoning. Jesus said to say X, Y and Z. For some reason, you are saying X = X, Y & Z. So, therefore to say X is to say X, Y & Z. This is the exact same thing as disregarding what Jesus allegedly said in Matthew 28:19!

What verse in Eph 3 says this? If this is so, then why Matthew 28:19? This makes no sense at all.
