LOL Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. You have to understand the Roman mentality. Politics before truth.
You try to impugn Constantine's motives by pointing to Governor Pilate? What's wrong with this picture? A Pope in the Middle Ages burned Huss at the stake. Therefore, all Catholic Popes are guilty of murder? Non-sequitur.
Very much disagree.....try studying history a little.
If you can't tell I've studied history, I wonder how in-depth into history you've gone?
The Johnny Appleseed of Truth.....part of my ministry is denouncing false beliefs.
You have a corrupt ministry. Denying the fundamentals of the Christian faith, and spending your time attacking historic Christianity in its many phases is not what I consider to be a "ministry!"
I would consider it *my ministry* to expose you as a false minister. I'm not hostile to you, but I must speak the truth, for your benefit as well as for the benefit of those who read your posts.
I was completely accurate without writing a book. A book on the topic would prove me right.
I do not know how you could be more wrong....are you using both hands?
Rudeness does not befit a Christian discussion. But perhaps you aren't Born Again? Someone who doesn't get the Trinity right may not get God or Christ right either?
Paul spoke about not ministering on somebody else's territory. It is indeed a problem when an imperial Catholic Church tries to overstep itself by interfering in the politics of an Empire or State. It is just as bad when the State tries to interfere in the religion of its subjects.
It is just as wrong for the imperial Church to try to interfere with independent State Churches. They should not extend beyond the borders of their own political confines. This is what was shown when the Holy Roman Empire tried to impose its way upon the emerging Protestant States. Ultimately, Catholicism had to relent and allow Protestant religion to root itself within their own independent States.
Boundaries are there to preserve the right of individuals and societies to choose for themselves what kind of government and what kind of religion they will follow. Many of the problems in churches have to do with overstepping boundaries in this way. I could give you example after example. But you do not seem interested, except in proving how "divisive" Christians are?
2 Cor 10.16 so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory.
LOL The Holy Spirit is the third person and it was that way from the beginning.
One of the problems caused by not giving the Holy Spirit a name.
There is the Holy Spirit but Yahweh and Yeshua have a holy spirit....meaning their spirit is holy.
You are confusing what it means for a *man* to have a human spirit and for *God* to have the Holy Spirit. They are not the same!
The Holy Spirit does not have a name because His personhood is not that kind of a personal distinction such as different human individuals relate to one another. He does not need a name other than the "Holy Spirit."
The Holy Spirit can indeed relate to the other Persons of the Trinity, but the Spirit of God is being expressed as God's infinite presence in local manifestations. As such, He is often represented as the "power of God," manifesting Himself in various places at various times. It is God operating from outside of the finite universe to show HIs power within the universe.
Being a finite manifestation, however, the Holy Spirit projects Himself in the form of a finite Person extending from infinite Deity, and must relate with the Father in this way.
