Jesus plainly calls the OT the “word of God”:(Mat 15:5-6 NASB) “But you say, 'Whoever shall say to his father or mother, “Anything of mine you might have been helped by has been given to God,” {6} he is not to honor his father or his mother.' And thus you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.Also, Jesus considered His words…[Read more]

I would have thought that too much thinking and not enough praying by theologiansled to the false trinity theory in the first place.this is just silly Nick….. in your desperation to both avoid answering questions by asking other rather innane questions,…[Read more]

To all those open to the leading of the Holy Spirit and the truth about what Hebrews teaches concerning the Trinity and the deity of the Son in the book of Hebrews:The Christ of Hebrews is as fully and truly human as everywhere else in Scripture—he shared our humanity (Heb. 2:14), was made like his brothers in every way (2:17), was a descendant o…[Read more]

I agree that 1 Jn 5:7 is spurious….. Elwell says “The words from “in heaven” (v. 7) through “on earth” (v. 8) are only found in a few Greek manuscripts, none dating earlier than the fourteenth century. Furthermore, the passage is not quoted by any of the Greek church fathers. The textual data suggest that these words were absent from the…[Read more]

naaa.. just bored at the flimsy argumentation and constant muddy thinking, eg constantly committing the genetic fallacy, poisoning the well, etc …… talking to you guys is something like banging one's head against a brickwall…. even if we disagree on the Trinity, at the very least it would be nice to see some people actually learn to start…[Read more]

hey there WIT… I don't think I would put my belief as that of “escaping” the body, in fact, I am sure I never said that…. I do not adhere to the Gnostic belief that the physical is evil at all….

as an aside, we must always keep in mind the Genetic Fallacy, that is, to deny a certain proposition or set of propositions based simply and merely on their source. So if the Gnostics believed X, X is not false simply because Gnostics believe it. To illustrate this further, many atheistic materialists and Liberals hold that with the disintegration…[Read more]

Jill, lets put it this way… let me ask you 3 questions about your religion….1. How many gods are there?2. Was the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross sufficient to atone for all our sins? 3. Was Jesus born of a virgin?

just that you don't believe in a Trinity after all, you believe that there are and will be literally millions of gods….. and that Mormonism is guilty of the most heinous act of engaging in double talk, taking Christian words and phrases and then redefining them with out being open and honest that they have done so….. thus, by speaking…[Read more]
