The passage I gave you is from the Geneva Bible. What does that say to you about the Geneva Bible? That it is disrespectful? Jesus is not an “it” and I have never referred to him that way.

@theefaith I have something else that I’d like to ask you about. When my mother-in-law died her children removed everything in the house and sold it. Among the items that were removed - and none of the children wanted, so I asked for it and it was given to me instead of being thrown away - is a...

That’s not what the priest who conducted the funeral masses said about my father-in-law and mother-in-law when they died. They were both baptized Catholics and the priest said (I’m paraphrasing) that our hope for them should be that their time in purgatory would be short. That aside, how does...

“Thanks be to God for sending him.” How many persons are in this proposition? Who is “God”? Well, if “God” is the Trinity then three persons sent “him”. Who is “him”? The proposition, as stated, doesn’t identify who the “him” is. “Him” is a singular pronoun. “Him” is one person. Well...

Who is Jesus to a non-trinitarian? Peter, a Jew, is a non-trinitarian. Peter, who do you say Jesus is? “You [Jesus] are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” A trinitarian reply to Peter, as helpfully provided by a trinitarian in this thread - “That He was and is. You’re so close. … If...

John 1 3. All things came into being through it, and apart from it nothing came into being that has come into being. Who does this speak of?

Loved hearing your story. So much better to hear Muslim and Christian thinking about one another as friends rather than enemies. That’s not to downplay the major (and serious) differences but to focus instead on peacemaking. In the situation you describe, real dialogue is possible. I was trying...

Against my better judgement, I’ll answer your questions about the incident. It wasn’t. It was his answer on only one occasion; to the question about the most famous non-trinitarian in the world today. No. No. No. There was no reason to. The entire class - trinitarian (including the...

So you must have established a good relationship with the Muslim. That’s what happened in my case. One day at work I overheard a conversation about religion between a Muslim co-worker and an agnostic co-worker. It didn’t end well for either of them. When the agnostic left the office I told...

I had a trinitarian professor when I a college student who challenged his students to think, not just memorize and repeat what they were given. Before every class he would write something on the chalk board (dating myself now) that would challenge his students to think. He spent the first five...

Who is Jesus to a non-trinitarian? That depends on what kind of non-trinitarian the non-trinitarian is. At one end of the spectrum, non-trinitarians believe he is Almighty God. At the other end of the spectrum, a fictional character. Those are the extremes. There are, of course, various...

You remind me of “CS”. You may or may not be him but you would easily pass for him. The last word is yours, if you want it.

Well, I think they’d pick up on that pretty quickly. Ironically, it might cause them to pray for you even more. I care what Jesus-rejectors think. Occupational hazard, I reckon.

I understand and appreciate the sentiment. They might very well think the same about us and our God. What do you think the odds are that they would listen to anything that you had to say to them about God and Christ after that?

About to finish reading “Who Made the Moon? A Father Explores How Faith and Science Agree” by Sigmund Brouwer. Just started reading “When Being Jewish Was A Crime” by Rachmiel Frydland. Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read critically.

If poison ivy had legs it would chase you.

See my comment in another thread this afternoon on watching a donkey show.

I have too. I did. I hope you did too. Has a Muslim ever asked you if you would like he or she to pray for you? If not, what would you say if they did?
