    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    How can it not be if the passage says it it?

    Pick a card. Any card. When I say “card” I mean verse.

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    “Here is the LORD’s proclamation to my lord …” (Psalm 110:1, NET) “… NET chooses to use lower case here in the Psalm (‘my lord’) due to its original context, even though we now know it to be ultimately fulfilled by our Lord.” Psalms 110 “Original context” should always be a priority in...

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    “and didn’t inquire of Yahweh. So he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.” (1 Chronicles 10:14, WEB) Yahweh, in some sense, killed King Saul, who committed suicide by falling on his sword. “Yahweh says to my Lord …” (Psalm 110:1, WEB) The same Yahweh who killed...

    WHO IS GOD.................?

    That one faith would be the one Christians believed in the 1st century: pre-Apostles’ Creed, pre-Nicene Creed, pre- Athanasian Creed, pre-Chalcedonian Creed, pre-all of the post-biblical creeds. You’re speaking about the Assumption of Mary. No one in the 1st century is talking about that. I...

    Did Christians invent the Trinity-2

    Thanks. Saul did in fact fall on his sword. “Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.” (1 Chronicles 10:4) The chapter was in my Bible reading plan yesterday. I thought about you when I read verse 14. “So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the...

    @RLT63 did the Trinity kill King Saul (1 Chronicles 10:14)?

    WHO IS GOD.................?

    It’s a Jewish writing. Written by Jews for Jews. Let’s assume, just for the sake of discussion, that “all of Maccabees” never existed. What essential would be lost in knowing “Who God is”?

    WHO IS GOD.................?

    In keeping with the topic of this thread, what would Protestantism “throwing away” (I’m trying to think of it from a Catholic perspective) Daniel 13 and 14 cause Protestants to give an explanation of “Who God is” that differs from a Catholic explanation of “Who God is”? What essential...

    WHO IS GOD.................?

    How about - from the Council of Chalcedon (in modern day Turkey, in 451 A.D.) - the Chalcedonian Creed? 400+ years after the Acts 2 historical event? The early Church didn’t know anything about it. It’s far removed from the Christianity they knew and lived. Christianity Board, by policy...

    WHO IS GOD.................?

    I’ve read Daniel 13 (and 14) in a Catholic translation of the Bible. What essential does it contain about “Who is God” that Protestant readers need to know?

    WHO IS GOD.................?

    I believe it continues beyond his return. You listed three. Aren’t there more in your tool box?

    Jesus and the savages.

    Non-Trinitarians, Please Answer This

    Welcome to the forum. The identity of the mediator is very clear. Who is the one God?

    I will when I find it. It’s in 1 of 50 boxes. I’ve looked in 12 boxes so far. When I get home this afternoon I’ll resume the search. It’s only a matter of time. What will you do after I post it?

    WHO IS GOD.................?

    What I was pointing out is that the apostles weren’t teaching the three creeds you listed, so the Church wasn’t hearing the teaching of those creeds. The apostles (Jews) and the Church (Jews) lived and died without ever knowing anything about those creeds. That’s just a simple historical...

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    When I was teaching, I used the article as a handout to my students. They were trinitarians and non-trinitarians. I thought then, and still think now, that it was / is beneficial to all.

    What does Colossians 1:16 mean when it says "For by him were all things created..."

    Thanks. I thought that might be the case. I provided a link to the article in post #335. It’s better to hear it directly from the source. The article should answer your question.
