What is a prophet?

Do you think the owner, administrators, moderators and staff are using me to sell the forum?

I’m certain of that. I don’t know about that but I’ll take your word for it. I learned most of what I know about the Bible from trinitarian mentors. There’s a very nice member of this forum who informed me this evening that I lack reading comprehension. I’m confident that reading...

Thanks. Some of the finest people I’ve ever encountered in that regard weren’t Christian, and didn’t claim to be. Test the spirits. A lot has to go into that. You’re unique in my experience. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’ve never met a trinitarian who used the word as seldom as you...

I publicly discussed the matter with a staff member. Due to the reassurance I received from the staff member in that conversation, I’m posting in all sections on this forum with a clear conscience. I had offered not to.

The most consequential thing people are wrong about is the identity of God.

Yes. What is your definition of “a prophet”? One question. What do you have to show people? One question unrelated to this post of yours. Does this mean that we will be keeping “Trinity” in our vocabulary?

I’ve read a large number of your posts. I don’t think you’re mean. Your premise is that I don’t possess reading comprehension. It’s a false premise. I never could have been an engineer, a college professor, a pastor if I lacked the ability to read comprehensively. The search for the...

Until we strip them of customary, mutually agreed upon, definition. Once that’s destroyed, we enter into the “what in the wide, wide world of sports is a goin’ on here?” arena of our modern day culture - “What is a woman?” - a large and growing segment of our society doesn’t think it means what...

Words have meaning. Without agreed upon definition, words could mean anything, everything and virtually nothing at all. If we agree on the definition / meaning of the words used, yes. What if we left it at that? Could we do it? Should we do it?

Thanks. That’s what trinitarians, binitarians and the majority of unitarians do. I asked because I didn’t want to put words in your mouth. Approaching the NT with the OT background; the Hebrew word davar is why I read it differently than you. I believe that’s also why the translators of the...

Yes or No.

“In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God. This same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made. In it was life, and that life was the light of men. And that light shineth in the wilderness...

I was asking you if you agreed with @Taken or not. You replied with a tap dance. That’s fine, but I was just looking for a simple yes or no. o_O Is that the royal “we” (plural of majesty) or do you have a club?

With historical orthodox trinitarianism on the ropes - ironically, at the hands of “trinitarians” - who can even say what a trinitarian truly is any more? It’s slowly becoming, for practical purposes, an undefined (meaningless?) term. I commented earlier this afternoon in another thread that...

Me? I’m pretty sure @Taken knows I’m not in agreement with him. If he didn’t know before, he knows now.

An acronym for “historical orthodox trinitarianism” - @Behold calls it “Classic Trinity”. While we’re on the subject of acronyms, I coined this one a couple of decades ago: TAHOT - “Trinitarians Against Historical Orthodox Trinitarianism”. Good points.

That locates you in the “maybe, maybe not” column, at least for the time being. Perhaps @Taken will provide additional information to help you decide whether the two of you are in agreement or not. P.S. I probably should add that it may not make any difference to one or both of you if you’re...

I’m not @ScottA. I have more in common with you than I do with him.

That’s a clear statement of what you believe. These days, “Trinity” can mean just about anything. HOT isn’t dead, but it’s dying.
