Who are the saints? The holy ones who will possesses the kingdom. Do you count yourself in their number? Who are the holy ones / the Lord’s saints at Jerusalem whom Ananias heard about, from many, that Saul had done harm to?

That’s fine. Thank you. So the Trinity you present to me is one YHWH and three YHWHs. x = YHWH 1x = 3x 1=3. Speaking as a retired civil engineer, all falls down. I appreciate the time you invested in spelling that all out for me. No. Three distinct Persons translate into being one God...

Father Fortman. “If we take the New Testament writers together they tell us there is only one God, the creator and lord of the universe, who is the Father of Jesus.” Pausing here to point out that he recognizes and acknowledges that the NT writers believed the one God is the Father, the...

I quoted from the translations which you said you use for apologetics. David and God were worshipped. Why was David worshipped? Yes. Jesus was born a king. Jesus of Nazareth is, as was placarded, the king of the Jews. Jesus of Nazareth is a man. If I were to ask you to provide...

A Christian kingdom is one which is subject to the Roman Catholic Church?

Is Jesus Christ a pope? No. Do you agree or disagree with that? (I assume you agree. My Catholic relatives (my wife’s side of the family) identify Peter as the first pope.) Is the pope considered an apostle by Roman Catholics? Yes. When a pope dies, there is a process in-place to identify his...

It will continue to happen as long as there are people who disagree on the answer to the question. A day is coming when everyone will know the answer to the question. Trinitarianism offers an answer. So do other theologies. I don’t know if you read or remember my Sunday School joke comment...

No. I’m under the new covenant. I like seeing Church history that was made. When, where, why, how and by whom the doctrine of the Trinity was made is very well-documented. That’s right. See again the quote from Father Fortman. The strength of Catholic scholarship, that which imo makes it...

Jesus, too, is a servant of the most high God; the suffering servant whom Isaiah prophesied about.

The trinitarian perspective, which, again, can be traced in Church history to post-biblical Council, not to scripture. It is so only on the authority of the Catholic Church.

“What is a heretic? The Greek word from which the English terms ‘heresy’ and ‘heretic’ are derived simply means an ‘act of choice’ or an ‘attachment.’ For a time, hairesis merely meant ‘party’ or ‘sect’ (from the Latin verb ‘to cut’) and did not imply any disparagement.” (Harold O.J. Brown...

Who is God? You’ve made it crystal clear that you believe God is the Trinity. In your eyes, I’m a heretic. “Treason is punishable by death and heresy is treason against God” Treason is punishable by death and heresy is treason against [the Trinity] Have I made it crystal clear to you that I...

Executing justice doesn’t always involve killing. If I’m ever put on trail for treason against the state, and if I’m found guilty, then I might very well be put to death by the state. I would, however, also point out that while death is a possible sentence for treason, it’s not the only...

Christ is my high priest and apostle (Hebrews 3:1).

You equate that with the Roman Catholic Church. I don’t. That’s a major difference between us.

Again, thank you. I’ve used a quote from Father Fortman several time. He points out that the apostles weren’t trinitarians. You seem to be saying, against Fortman, that they were.

Thank you. I made the connection from what I know about you but it was important for me to hear you say it. Who is God to you? It’s a great question. Who is God to theefaith? The Trinity. Who is God to Matthias? The Father. Who is God to Jesus?

I understand that’s what trinitarianism teaches. We can locate the source of the teaching in Church history. It comes to us from the Catholic Church. To believe it is to believe what the Catholic Church teaches. Do you agree or disagree with that? Council of Chalcedon. The doctrine of the...

The answer I was looking for and expecting was the Trinity.

You’re 100% Catholic. I’m 80% Catholic?
