Yes and no. I’m a resident alien. ”Peter calls his readers to embrace a distinct way of living that flows from their identity as resident aliens.” (Paul Akin, The Missiological Motivation of 1 Peter”)...

The name of his God is written upon me. No feckless voice on an internet discussion forum - be it unitarian, binitarian, or trinitarian - is able to rest the promises of Jesus from me. Even were they to take my life from me, still the sure promises of the Messiah I would retain; the reward...

“We affirm that, as there are two conditions demonstrated by the prophets to belong to Christ, so these presignified the same number of advents; one, and that the first, was to be in lowliness ... Since, therefore, the first advent was prophetically declared both as most obscure in its types...

I had several pieces of advice that I would have shared with you last night. When I woke up this morning I felt in my spirit that I shouldn’t share all of them with you at this time. You’ve surely heard me encourage others to read widely, deeply, thoughtfully and critically. The advice I will...

“Do not repay evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless others because you were called to inherit a blessing.” (1 Peter 3:9, NET)

* Why did the church in the 5th century think it was necessary? * Yes, if the person wants to be a trinitarian and / or defend trinitarianism. That’s takes care of Chalcedon, and almost all churches say they are Chalcedonian. Let’s ask me the same question about Nicaea and Constantinople...

Submitted in defense of trinitarianism: ”… Christ possesses two ousaia. The first is the divine ousia which is and always has been hypostatic. The second is a human ousia which came into existence as an attached enhypostatic ousia. This is why theologians say that Christ is not a human person...

“There is only one person who is Christ, and that person is divine. Thus, there is no human person named ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’” (William Lane Craig, “Is Worship of Jesus Idolatry?) https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/question-answer/is-worship-of-jesus-idolatry/

In Trinitarianism he is not a human person at all!

“Jesus is a human person” is an anti-trinitarian position. The church in the 5th century was confronted with people like (and unlike) YOU. The Council of Chalcedon (AD 451) was necessary to defend trinitarianism - fully established in the Church since the Council of Constantinople (AD 381) -...

Does your article say that Jesus is a human person? No. Why?

A Trinity with a Jesus who is a human person isn’t the Trinity that has been taught by the Church since the 4th century.

But not a human person. Listen to the defenders of the Trinity!

Yes, but it also says that he is not a human person. Jesus cannot be, and isn’t, a human person in trinitarian theology. We have to know that before we can defend the doctrine of the Trinity.

“There is no reason why we could not have a living organism that could be truly human, or, to be more accurate, could possess a human nature, but not be a human person.” (Tim Staples, “Is Jesus a Human Person?”) https://timstaples.com/2019/is-jesus-a-human-person/

What? I’m posting a defense of trinitarianism in post #516.

Trinitarians who don’t believe it are trinitarians in name only. It has been the official position of the church since the 4th century. We can’t defend trinitarianism without believing it.

A question for the trinitarian reader: When is the last time you heard your (or a) trinitarian pastor say, “Jesus is not a human person”?
