And again - it's not about“bullying”.
Just try to control your lying and you won't have to deal with me.

I'm only here on a search and destroy mission.
I search out lies about the Church - and destroy them.

LOL got the visual of tights and a cape on a mission of search and destruction....

Funny!

Can you at least point me to the post?

Also - did I scare you off with my challenge?
Like I said in my LAST post – IF you have Scriptural evidence of Eve “acknowledging” her role as the “Mother of ALL the living” and Abraham “acknowledging” his role as “Father of a multitude of nations” – then PRODUCE it.

I’ll tell ya what – IF you can do that – I will formally apologize to you for accusing you of lying.
HOWEVER – if you can’t present this Scriptural proof – then YOU apologize to ME for lying.

Agreed??

Go back and reread. I am not going to do the work for you. I have presented it many times because you are so hard headed. I have presented the Scriptural proof.

Make sure you hold your breath waiting for my apology.

The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are three distinct Persons.

"Three distinct persons"?

Is that A scriptural quote?

Any other definition is heresy - and it's definitely NOT Christian . . .

Hummmmm. Surely something of such importance....you are using a Scriptural quote? Where is that in Scripture?

In other words - you WON'T accept my challenge because you CAN'T show me where you presented the Scriptural "proof" for your lies.

Pretty much what I expected from you . . .

The Trinity, as Shown in Scripture

1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these THREE are ONE.

The Father is God

One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Psalm 68:5

The Son is God
Isaiah 7:14

All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means 'God is with us').

The Holy Spirit is God
John 14:16-18

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you *ANOTHER Helper, that He may abide with you forever -- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
*This word in Greek means, “another of the SAME kind.”

And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to GOD."

Actually...the proof shows a plurality....not necessarily a trinity.

When Jesus says... "My Father and I"....that is a duality not a trinity.

Even in catholic dogma...the Holy Spirit is the love between Father and Son.

Your challenge is as much of a facade as you are. I have proven it many times and now you want a 'challenge'. Just go back and reread. Tell, me who does a Roman priest confess his sins to? The pope? Better give him a call.

No - it's a legitimate challenge.
YOU think it's a "facade" because you can't lie your way out of it this time.

ONE more time:
IF you have Scriptural proof that Eve "acknowledged" that she was "Mother of ALL the living" and Abraham "acknowledged" that he was "Father of a "Multitude of nations" - then let's have it.

Otherwise - you have ZERO grounds for demanding Scriptural proof for Peter "acknowledging" his God-given Primacy (Matt. 16:18-19, Luke 22:31-32, John 20:19-25).

So far, your case is as impotent as a Nevada Boxing Commissioner . . .

Then you need to address the DOZENS of verses that I presented.
Start with this one:

Acts 5:3-4
But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? "While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to GOD."


This passage acknowledges that the Holy Spirit is GOD Himself.

Sure - just tell me which post and I will reread it.
At least point me to the post.

If you can't do that - then you NEVER had a case - and everybody here knows it . . .

The Holy Spirit is a part of God. God is Spirit. And His Spirit is attached to Him. It doesn't have to be a separate person. My hand reaches out. It is a part of me. But it is not a separate person.

Another denial of Bible truth. The Holy Spirit is indeed the THIRD PERSON of the triune Godhead. You should search the Scriptures. Please note the words of Christ carefully and understand what He says:

But when the Comforter [the Holy Spirit, the third Person] is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father [the first Person], even the Spirit of truth [the Holy Spirit, the third Person] which proceedeth from the Father [the first Person], he shall testify of me: [Christ, the second Person] (John 15:26)

We know from Scripture that there are THREE DIVINE PERSONS in the Godhead: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, [the first Person] and of the Son, [the second Person] and of the Holy Ghost [the third Person] (Mt 28:19).

I am simply amazed at all the errors that are being presented by people on Christian forums. I trust you will acknowledge your error and believe the truth.

Really? That's the best you can do??
That would be as silly as Peter saying, "You have not lied to men but you have lied to God's foot!"

Pretty WEAK . . .

And, as I said - if you can't point me to the post - you NEVER had a case to begin with.
"Just shut up" is pathetic argument . . .

Suffice it to say - Peter doesn't have to "acknowledge" having God-given Authority for it to be true - just as Eve didn't "acknowledge" being "Mother of ALL the Living" and Abraham didn't "acknowledge" being "Father of a multitude of nations."

Case CLOSED.
