That’s right. If we’re persuaded that’s what they did, then let’s toss our Bibles in the trash can and follow whatever “mythological Jesus” we cook up. Or throw in with the atheist. The Jesus the New Testament documents and discusses had a very real impact on the apostles and disciples of that...

Knowing that the NT writers tell us that he was begotten, and knowing what being begotten means, what is your answer to your question? I’m asking you to tell me, Was Jesus created?

With that knowledge you’re able to answer your question for yourself, without any input from me. To Jesus, too. Replace “God” with “Father”. I understand that. It’s something that you need to work on. I agree. But what difference does it make if the historical reliability is questioned...

That takes us back to the Council of Chalcedon, 451 AD. Does Christianity ask him to?

What was it in what I said that caused you to ask that? God and God? Who is God? In trinitarian theology, he isn’t a god. The testimony of scripture is that the miracles actually did happen. Now we are back to the issue of evidence. And if we aren’t going to believe the Bible, what are we...

Jesus was begotten. By God. Circa 4 BC. Scripture assigns multiple titles to him. Do you think he is a god? I think that’s probably true. Ask them if it is or isn’t the historical doctrine.

“Every sunrise is another gift from God and another opportunity to live faithfully. Don’t just coast through today. Run your race with endurance, fight sin, love Christ, serve others, and keep your eyes on the finish line.” - Scott Roberts

It means God is his father. If I recall correctly (and I might not), you attended a Baptist Church when you were younger. An article from a Baptist theologian for your consideration: https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/question-answer/was-christ-a-divine-human-person/ The bad old days...
