Forbid it Lord that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul my life my all

Isaac Watts

Just make sure you've got the right God.

Also consider God is love. But love cannot exist without others to love. So apart from the trinity God could not be love eternally.

25.43 ἀγαπάωa; ἀγάπηa, ης f: to have love for someone or something, based on sincere appreciation and high regard—‘to love, to regard with affection, loving concern, love.’ἀγαπάωa:

Please show how three persons, each called God in scripture, at Jesus' baptism, were one person.


I have already done so, and you didn't listen. Why would you have me do it again?

You do not align with any of the historic trinity doctrines.

I align with the Trintiy doctrine that is found in the Bible; which is indeed a book of history among other things.

Try telling the cashier your lettuce morphed into your celery, and that morphed into your box of cereal at the checkout, and you are paying only for one item.

This shows again that your doctrine is Tritheism and not real Trninitrianism.

Forbid it Lord that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul my life my all

God is love = love between persons throughout the bible. One person = absence of love.

Thanks for sharing Your mathematical equation...nothing new....but still comical.

Why did Jesus pray to his Father in heaven, if he, the Son was the Father?

Who heard the Teacher, mankind's Example, Jesus, praying to his Father?

And what did the mankind student learn from his Teacher Jesus?

Have a party, stuff your gut and have a beer before Death?

Didn't you learn anything from Jesus, the Teacher, the Example, for how a man should pray to God before his impending death?

:eek:

Someone must have or it would not be part of scripture.

Gee Dave....that's a hard one....lol

Don't you read and study scripture?

One who exists eternally, does not retain memory of an other, who does not exist eternally.

If you can not remember a person, are you going to fret and wonder if you loved someone you do not remember them existing? :rolleyes:

And you missed the point....

WHY DID Jesus pray to his Father.....
Just before He was to be taken to His death?

Why did he pray "if it be thy will" followed by "thy will be done"? If it was already his will?

Love doesn't exist apart from loving others.

History is not to be avoided. But neither are those in it to be elevated to biblical level as you do.
How does truth ever change? If it was true then, it's true now no matter who wrote or spoke it.

Who says everything they spoke as truth?

Calvinism by Calvin is definitely not the truth.

Catholics elevating the Catholic Church is not true.
Who said Calvinism is true? Who's elevating the Catholic Church calling the Papacy Antichrist?

Dave L

Wasn't Calvin a reformer and one of those you elevate? Were not the creeds you so love established by Catholics?
The Reformers were Augustinians, not Calvinists. The Catholic Church didn't morph into the Antichrist until around the 9th century.

The Catholic Church is not and never has been the antichrist.

The Augustinians is a Catholic order of hermits that still exists today.

Vicar of Christ = in place of Christ = Antichrist. Plus the Papacy matches the profile of the Antichrist.

As I already said, the Pope is an antichrist, but not the Antichrist.

There are many antichrists in the world.

And he does not match description of the AC.

The AC will not be revealed until the restrainer is removed.
