No. If you’re familiar with the history of Church Councils, as I believe you probably are since you’re Roman Catholic, then you’re aware of the presence of unitarians at others. See above.

”It is a simple and undeniable historical fact that several major doctrines that now seem central to the Christian faith - such as the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of the deity of Christ - were not present in a full and well-defined, generally accepted form until the fourth or fifth...

Though not at all surprising, I like the clear distinction he makes between God and Jesus.

See the New Testament. See Acts 15. Jesus and the apostles were considered heretics by their fellow Jews. What would he and they think of persons who moved the church away from their unitarianism to trinitarianism?

Christianity, as all serious students of its history know, began as a sect of Judaism. Judaism is unitarian, not trinitarian. Christianity began as a unitarian sect. Those same students also know that, over a period of several hundred years, Christianity officially ceased to be a unitarian...

Peter, like Jesus, is a Jew, a unitarian. “The New Testament offers no new doctrine of God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is now the God and Father of Jesus Christ. Thus all Old Testament theology is implied in the New Testament.” (The Oxford Companion To The Bible) The God of Abraham...

My favorite verse in the Bible, and one that I constantly draw great encouragement from as I read and follow Jesus, “A disciple is not greater than his teacher, but everyone when fully trained will be like their teacher.” (Luke 6:40)

Tough times ahead yet for Jerusalem; then returns the king to sit on his father David’s throne there.

I miss it already.

Yes, I truly believe.

When you say “God’s creation began in the first century” it sounds to me like you are speaking about the new creation. Is that correct?

YHWH, the God and Father of Jesus Christ.

This suggests to me that the origin of Jesus is in the womb of his mother. Does it to you?

”6. Origen’s Helpful Suggestion. It was the many-sided genius of Origen that helped to solve the problem. Origen, like Tertullian, was strongly opposed to Monarchianism with its emphasis on monotheism to the exclusion of hypostasianism and tri-personality. Abandoning the view of the Apologists...

Are you able to reconcile it with Wuest’s comment about “a birth that never took place”? Wuest is calling upon Origen, not scripture.

I didn’t say anything about Wuest losing his marbles. Do you see or not see the birth of Jesus in Matthew and Luke? Thanks. Now your motive is clear.

Jesus himself has a God. See, for example, John 20:17.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. You must have misunderstood something I wrote.
