It’s a beautiful thing; a sight for sore eyes. Thank you Dr. Brown for extending a helping trinitarian hand. “f. The ‘New’ Orthodoxy “The year 381 marks the beginning of a new epoch of Christian history. … what Theodosius established was not simply early catholicism - embracing a moderate...

Where in history does orthodox trinitarianism become the “official” teaching of the Church? 381 A.D. The Church was founded as a sect of Judaism ca. 30 A.D. By 381 A.D. if you weren’t an adherent of orthodox trinitarianism then you weren’t in the Church. (“Binitarians, out of the pool!”...

“The adoption of the Nicene Creed in 325 and the Chalcedonian Creed in 451 stabilized the doctrine of the Trinity and Christ for over one thousand years. They made use of Hellenistic categories and thinking to do so. The important question to ask is not whether orthodox theology betrays...

The living God doesn’t have a God. The living God never had a God in the past, doesn’t have a God in the present, and will never have a God in the future.

I doubt that you would be interested in hearing my thoughts on that. I’ll confine my comments here to what happened in scripture. No one who lived in biblical times prayed to the Trinity. They prayed either to idols or to the God of Israel. When Jesus prayed, he prayed to the God of Israel...

The Trinity isn’t the living God, in scripture. The Trinity is the living God, in post-biblical trinitarian theology. Jesus isn’t the living God, in scripture. Jesus is the living God, in post-biblical trinitarian theology. Yahweh (the Father) is the living God, in scripture. Yahweh (as later...

That’s not what I wrote. You removed my punctuation mark, which changed the meaning. Why did you do that? The living God, his God, is the Father. The living God is Yahweh. “His” is referring to Jesus, not Yahweh. The living God, Jesus’ God, is the Father. Yahweh is Jesus’ God and Father...

I’m standing in the gap, alongside many others.

Can you say me it? Ideal / notional preexistence.

The living God, his God, is the Father.

A soft drink which has been made in my state since 1926. (When I was a teenager, my buddies and I called it “Kentucky Swamp Water”.) It’s actually quite delicious and tastes something like a cross between 7UP and Sprite.

I cannot even imagine facing off against a brother in Christ on a field of battle. My brother may kill me but I will not take up arms against him.

He’s determined to act with the courage of his conviction. He will be persecuted. (He was before receiving the draft notice.) He may be martyred. He’s prepared for both. I’m praying for him.

Would you have me kill fellow Christians living in other countries in warfare? What must Jesus think about his followers killing one another, and others, in service to the kingdoms of this world? Mine will be a minority opinion: Christians are to serve the nations we live in without inflicting...

I received information this week about a pastor who is a colleague of mine. He has been drafted. He’s a conscientious objector and he’s in serious trouble with the government. Where he lives, conscientious objectors aren’t tolerated. I’m not sure if he’s been imprisoned yet or not. He may be...

The one God is my savior. His name is Yahweh. “I, even I, am Yahweh, and besides me there is no savior.” (Isaiah 43:11) He has saved me, is saving me and will save me by means of a savior whom he gave me, and not only me. “Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who...

Come again anytime. I’ll leave the light on for you.
