    I appreciate your interest but I do wonder why you’re interested in my story. Before or after my conversion from trinitarianism to Jewish monotheism?

    He’s an agnostic. What are you anticipating his decision will be?

    In general, non-trinitarianism. In particular, Jewish monotheism. In their minds, “Christian” = “Nicene Christianity only”. Anything outside of that, again, in their minds = “non-Christian“. Yes. That’s right. The earliest followers of Jesus weren’t called Christians. It is because of that...

    Real Christians

    I’m allowed to post in any forum which isn’t labelled “Christians Only”. No. There are quite a number of members here who are registered “Christian” who don’t believe in the Trinity. They don’t have any restrictions placed on them about where they can post. I initially registered as...

    I’m a good listener. I’ll be around if you’d like to tell me about Jesus and the things of God. You have my ear.

    More on the deity of Christ

    Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. *** A word now to wise readers. What this man brazenly asserted about me isn’t true. I’ve never been, nor will I ever be, a relativist. Anyone who knows me knows that. Decide for yourselves. I don’t have anything further to say about his...

    All commentary is opinion. I’ve read yours. As with all commentary, I accept what I’m persuaded is correct and reject what I’m persuaded is incorrect. I also read something the other day that helped me and I’m sure will help others: “The blood of the Lamb silences the accuser.” - D.A. Carson

    Others have been and are persuaded. Success. Let everyone be convinced in his or her own mind.

    I’ve previously shown you from scripture, church history, and trinitarian scholarship that it is.

    More on the deity of Christ

    Dr. Witherington doesn’t reject the deity of Christ. I’ve spoken about that elsewhere. Among other things, I was a professor of theology and taught historical orthodox trinitarianism to college students.

    More on the deity of Christ

    I affirm Moses typology. You will find - as I’m sure you must have in the years you’ve been speaking with people about John’s Gospel - some unitarians, binitarians and of course trinitarians who will agree with your comment. It isn’t compatible with Jewish monotheism.

    More on the deity of Christ

    Dr. Witherington is a “true“ trinitarian. There are other “true” trinitarians who agree with him that Jesus wasn’t and isn’t Yahweh. I’ve quoted some of them on the forum. I’m not. I’m an ex-trinitarian. I’m now, and have been for many years, a Jewish monotheist, a Dynamic Monarchian; not a...

    More on the deity of Christ

    We’ve already discussed this. You see two persons (why not three persons?) in John 1:1. A Jewish monotheist sees only one person in John 1:1. Yes.
