Re: John 1:1-18

Why do you all assume anger on my part? I have only been offering observations not just on my part... but including over 100 plus non-Trinitarians with whom I have had the experience to post with over the last several years. To say that one of you was accepted with open arms shows me that church wo...

Re: John 1:1-18

Paidion, I have the feeling you are being yelled at. What do feeling have to do with truth? I have the feeling you are being yelled at. Seemingly, Homer. And with so many presumptions. Presumptions are only Presumptions when You suggest, I have not actually lived out these truths, have not actually...

Re: John 1:1-18

You ask.... "By what authority do you pronounce that one has to be a Trinitarian in order to be a Christian?" What planet are you living on? And I now ask, "How can you be so cock-sure of yourself, so as to impolitely ask what planet I am living on?" Or did you consider my original question to be i...

Re: John 1:1-18

Paul, I am curious what your position is regarding who is a Christian and the Trinitarian doctrine. Is it your position that the Trinitarians are not saved and that your position (or those that hold your position, whatever it is) is the only belief acceptable to God? Or, alternatively, do you consi...

Re: John 1:1-18

However, if you are talking about church creeds, such as the COUNCIL OF CHALCEDON (451 AD), part of which you quoted, I simply believe the framers of such creeds were in error. I subscribe to the early Christian teachings such as we find in the New Testament and in the writers of the second century...

Re: John 1:1-18

You failed to understand your own creeds when you made your post above... I asked who you were addressing, Paul, because I couldn't see how this statement applied to me since I don't have any "creeds", at least no formal ones . So what are these "creeds" of mine which I fail to understand? Traditio...

Re: John 1:1-18

Paul said: You failed to understand your own creeds when you made your post above... The creeds are extra-biblical documents and not authoritative . They were forged on the anvil of theological conflicts, which were often politicized. Their goal was to unify one group of people as "the true christi...

Re: John 1:1-18

As I understand it, Jesus was TOTALLY human while on earth. He was not a "God-man" hybrid. In being born as a human being, He had divested Himself of ALL of His divine attributes (Philippians 2:6-8). The only thing He retained of His former existence was His identity as the Son of God. While on ear...

Re: Westminster Catechism

I think that's splitting hairs -- don't you "become the Christ" when you are anointed? Put in other words -- don't you "become anointed" when you're anointed? Exactly what I'm saying... Why do you think Jesus never preformed a miracle until he was anointed??? Because he could not!!! Jesus needed Go...
