Generic God. The minors: unitarian, binitarian, trinitarian.

With Christians being unitarian, binitarian and trinitarian, how are we able to live together in unity?

How do you feel / what do you think about rebaptizing @RLT63?

She means they are the same person.

My Baptist pastor was a very nice man, but he had no formal theological training. He was bi-vocational, not that there’s anything wrong with that. (Unlike him, I had formal theological training. I was bi-vocational too, so maybe that is a bias of mine.)

When we harmonize it with the Messiah’s unitarian theology, the God of the Shema remains who he always and forever is, the Father.

I accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. My pastor consigned me to the fire of Gehenna after I rejected trinitarianism. The Church said Amen and we parted ways amicably. I was allowed to officiate at my grandmother’s funeral at her request - graveside only. The Baptist pastor and his assistant were...

Thanks. My background is in the Southern Baptist Church. Are you aware that Baptists aren’t creedal? Are you aware that other Christian denominations also aren’t creedal? Are you aware that some non-denominational Christian Churches aren’t creedal?

Baptists, as you know, aren’t creedal. I never even heard of the Nicene Creed until attending a Bible study lead by my Baptist pastor. He never mentioned it from the pulpit and, of course, we didn’t recite it in Church.

The Nicene Creed is an important step in the post-biblical formulation of the doctrine of the Trinity. Church history documents that even many Nicene Creed affirming Christians in the 4th century were unsure about the Holy Spirit. Binitarians have no problem affirming the Nicene Creed.

Nicene Creed - 325 A.D. Conclusion of 1st century - 100 A.D. Number of Nicene Creed affirming Christians running around the Middle East in the interim? 0

Based on an interpretation of scripture. An interpretation , at that, which was unknown in primitive 1st century Christianity.

lol! The only deity Paul and John wrote about is the Messiah’s God. Everything else is idols. The Messiah is divine / godlike.

“Scripture is clear that all humans have worth and deserve protection because they are created in the Image of God, His masterpieces. The Biblical standpoint is plain and distinctive, children in the womb are just as much a human at the point of conception as those who are already born. This is...

His deity is his Father, the God of the Shema. You aren’t defending the historical Jesus. You’re defending a 4th century theological construct.

How many Nicene Creed affirming Christians were running around Jerusalem (or anywhere in the world) in the 1st century?

What would that mean to a 1st century Jew who believed that another 1st century Jew was the Messiah promised by their God? Connection with 4th century trinitarian theology? None.

Jesus and the NT writers weren’t trinitarians. Reading scripture as if it is transmitting 4th century concepts results in a story that would be unrecognizable to 1st century Christians.

Non-binding on those who went before; non-binding on those who came after and do not acknowledge their authority. In other words, not binding on all people. Resolution not acknowledged by all people.
