    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Thanks. In fact, none of them said, or even implied, it.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Which trinitarian theologian or scholar I quoted do you think said, or even implied, “Jesus is not merely human in His personhood”?

    Who Do You Worship?

    I’m certain of it. Do you feel the same way about WWJD? That’s why I didn’t put quotation marks around my words.

    Who Do You Worship?

    I thought this was an interesting piece. Before I finished reading it I wondered to myself, “Is this going to be a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ presentation or a ‘do as I say, do what I do’ presentation?” It wasn’t long until I received the answer to my question. “… Jesus taught about worship by...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    You heard what the International Catholic University said. You categorized it as “very clumsy” and “quite astounding”. My favorite part of your post is when you asked, “What does it even mean?” It means that you don’t understand what they’re teaching. They are the guardians of the Council of...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Jesus is not a human person - in trinitarian theology. “But Christologies from below evade the real mystery, namely, that Jesus is truly human yet he is not a human person, but a divine person, the Son of God, who reveals the still deeper mystery that God is a Trinity of Persons.”...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    You’re doing exactly what I said you would do.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    “The hound of Jewish monotheism” is a moniker which a trinitarian derisively pinned on me some years ago. The hound of Jewish monotheism is the Messiah’s theology. So do I. What I’ve foisted on you is the commentary of orthodox trinitarian scholars and theologians - Catholic and Protestant...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    I’m saying it in refutation of the Chalcedonian Creed. You say Jesus is a human person. Those who comprised the Council of Chalcedon oppose the idea that Jesus is a human person. The Catholic Church opposes the idea that Jesus is a human person. Protestant trinitarian denominations oppose the...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    All I’ve done is quote trinitarian scholars and theologians who are in agreement with Chalcedon against you. It’s their statements which you are calling “strawman arguments”.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    The one God is the God and Father of Jesus Christ, not the Trinity. My point is that trinitarians should be on the side of Chalcedon.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    I’m not a trinitarian. You should be asking @PinSeeker. I’ve been defending Chalcedon against his assertions.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Those whom you are labeling “false trinitarians” are trinitarians who are faithful to historical orthodox trinitarianism. I deny what they teach too, but not for the reason you do. I’ve identified them by name and posted links so that anyone who is interested can verify the information for...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    It’s really quite simple.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    I think it would be helpful if those who are saying that the historical orthodox trinitarian theologians and scholars - Catholic and Protestant - I’ve quoted are not correct in what they are saying would post trinitarian theologians and scholars to support their assertion.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Your beef is with trinitarians who are telling us precisely what the doctrine teaches. You say they’re wrong. They have history on their side.

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Jesus is not a human person - in trinitarian theology. I’ve used this article ever since it was published. The author is a trinitarian (Reformed) professor. Students - trinitarian and non-trinitarian - have commented how helpful it was to them in gaining a better understanding of the doctrine...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    I’m just parroting what trinitarian theologians / scholars say about the doctrine. I agree that what they are saying is what trinitarianism teaches. The quote from Schaff explains why trinitarianism teaches - has to teach - that Jesus is not a human person.

    Who Do You Worship?

    I’m absolutely convinced that he is, that it is implied in the verse, but technically that doesn’t meet the request he made for the exact phrase “Jesus worshipped” in scripture. That’s, apparently, the only thing that would persuade him.
