God called me but I would not say by name. His Holy Spirit commanded me. One might say he called me, 'You' (need to do X).

Anyone read "When Jesus Became God?" It explains how Arians and trinitarians took turns in power, calling the other side heretics.

Without free will, the whole notion of sin is gone.

Not too many commands to mock, is there? A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding. Leave the presence of a fool, for there you do not meet words of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools is deceiving. Fools mock...

Why don't you play Angel's Advocate for a while? The Lord isn’t slow about keeping his promises, as some people think he is. In fact, God is patient, because he wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost. 2 Peter 3:9 (CEV)

Sad. I was recently reminded that it was not until the 4th century that Christians had compiled Scripture. How did they manage?

Repeating this does not make it true. Do you grasp that the 'man is God' thesis does not make a trinity? The Bible does not say Jesus raised himself; it says God raised Jesus. Does this mean anything to you?

No. The Bible does not say this. Even if the Bible did say this, as was pointed out in the OP, 2 does not a trinity make. Nonsense. Pure trinitarian nonsense. I am anti-trinitarian, not anti-christ. Again, the trinitarians hold to their idolatry so fiercely, they equate the two. Who raised...

The word heresy is thrown around so much as the worst that can be said about another, even Pastor Steve Cioccolanti from Australia said Christians say it over all manner of doctrinal differences. So, he provided the best standard of something that is heresy; that which keeps one from salvation...

what drew you toward Unitarianism? (not to be answered in a single post ...) Trinitarians are so captured by their idolatry, they cannot consider anyone accepting Jesus as their Savior while holding there is only one God who is one being/person. Indeed, the emotion behind the 'man is God thesis'...

This brings up a disturbing reality. It is possible to sin in heaven.

Powerful point. One way around this is the notion of accepting Jesus after death. One part of Christianity that bothers me is the idea that even the wicked will be resurrected, just for the purposes of on-going punishment. And that leads us to another way. We take 'eternal punishment' to mean...

Agreed. I hope to advance the conversation in a more congenial way. Biblical support for universalism is scant but not non-existent. Consider the idea that God does not want anyone to perish. What does this mean to you? For universalists, like me, it means the will of God is all-important and...

Thank you sir. I can do that in some forums but not others. It seems the reply button is not available in Christian-only forums.

As a unitarian, I reject the 3-person (or being model) for God. Where do you get the idea that God is in heaven? Jesus plainly says this. How then, to reconcile God's Omnipresent nature? For me it is simple. God is Spirit. His Spirit is Holy. So, while Jesus is closely tied to being 'of God,'...

It sure is OK. Glad for you!

Just signed up and see many great topics. For some reason, most of them do not show a reply button. At first, I thought maybe the thread itself was closed. Then I realized that is mostly not the case. So, Why Can't I Reply in Many Open Threads?

I am convinced James, Jesus' brother, is Mary's other children. That is, I have no problem with Mary having children after her first born son. Having said that, clearly the Bible is not a book to only look at literally. For instance, a Big league prophecy is the Messiah is to come from the line...

Hello All! Was not sure how to identify myself upon registering. Elsewhere orthodox are adamant that only trinitarians can be Christians. I had trouble finding a 'reply' but in other threads, which made me wonder if my registration is complete. Anyway, I look forward to many interesting...
