The Shema is my creed; the creed of Judaism. The Shema is not a trinitarian creed nor is it the New Covenant / Testament.

Thank you. To say that it was a splendid time for all would be not to say enough about it. You may or may not have heard me say that I was raised Southern Baptist. You may or may not know much about Southern Baptists. In that trinitarian culture the “term” brother” carries a certain and...

I say that you cannot hear me and I’ll resume posting later this afternoon or evening, God willing.

It’s Grandparents Day in the USA. Is it also in South Africa? I’m stepping out to celebrate the day by having dinner (lunch, if you prefer) with my wife, daughter, son-in-law and grandson. It is a great blessing from Yahweh for a man to see his children’s children. Yahweh is not a created...

Yes. It is correct that I said the Messiah is a “created being”. I didn’t think it was necessary to say that trinitarianism teaches that the Messiah is not a created being. I’m thinking now that maybe it is, for your benefit and possibly the benefit of others. In trinitarianism, the Messiah is...

I’ve stated on a number of occasions that it is. As that isn’t clear in your mind, I will state it unequivocally here. My creed - the only creed which I hold to - is the Shema.

Are you able to count in Hebrew? If so, then you’re aware that echad is the cardinal number “1”.

Not in the Shema. If you do then you are saying to me and to our readers that you believe “one” is modifying a collective noun.

Christianity Board does. I hold to only one creed, and it isn’t the one which Christianity Board does.

Your ears truly are deaf in regard to me, but that will not prevent you from making evil assertions about me. Are you married? If not, have you ever attended, seen or read about wedding vows? When the bride or the groom says in response to the minister’s question “I do” the bride or the groom...

Concerning the one God, his God, it is expressed in the Shema. In order to be a trinitarian, mustn’t a person’s God be the Trinity?

John is taking his readers back to the Genesis creation account in his prologue. He is taking us back to the work of the Father (see the first line in the Apostles’ Creed). The same God is at work in the new creation, which is where John then moves his readers forward into in the telling of the...

Trinitarianism doesn’t. I do. Jesus is a human person. Jesus is not a human person. - Trinitarianism.

It was forced upon me on a discussion forum by a trinitarian whose intention it was to harm me. He was calling me a dog. What he intended for harm, my God intended for good. From the day that he publicly denigrated me, you will always find it in my tagline on discussion forums. I’m not the...

Yes. Why is it that you cannot understand me?

That’s right. Do you remember the story behind it?

Have you read what Tertullian - a “trinitarian” whose concept of the Trinity is incompatible with historical trinitarian orthodoxy - said about heretics?

I think the first detail you should look into is trinitarianism insisting, as it must, that Jesus is not a human person. In my experience, 80% (maybe more) of trinitarians are unaware that trinitarianism requires Jesus not to be a human person. In the classroom setting, very few of my...

I firmly and irrevocably believe that the one God is one in being, one in person - the Father. I understand Jesus as firmly and irrevocably believing that his [and my] God, the one God, is one in being, one in person - the Father.

If you don’t go by the trinitarian philosophy but by what the scripture says then you don’t go by the trinitarian philosophy affirmed by this Board. Personally, I don’t have an issue with that. I don’t go by trinitarian philosophy either. I go by what scripture says and understand it through the...
