Quote (seminarian @ July 26 2006,23:32)ALso E-Maniac,Now you've got to stoop to posting someone else's long winded nonsense as a response?  Son of God means just what it says and is NOT exclusive to our Lord Jesus.  Read Luke 3:38 which lists ADAM as the Son of God.  Christ is also referred to as the Last Adam.  You trinitarians have reversed the…[Read more]

Quote (seminarian @ July 26 2006,23:44)E-Maniac,“HASTINGS Dictionary of the Bible by Schribners, on page 1015 under the topic: “THE TRINITY–The Christian doctrine of God as existing in three Persons & one Substance is NOT DEMONSTRABLE BY LOGIC OR BY SCRIPTURAL PROOFS…” According to Mr. Hastings, one would have to use ILLOGICAL AND UNSCRIPTURAL…[Read more]

Hastings answers one of your exact questions semmy…. after reading this, will you still rely on this source?”The other objection to which importance attaches is the answer of Jesus to one who addressed Him as 'Good Master'—'Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God' (Mk 1018). It is not obvious why Jesus should have o…[Read more]

semmy, why do you follow the teachings of man so much? Is Hastings (or any of the contributors to the dictionary)infallible?

Quote (seminarian @ July 26 2006,23:17)Uh oh E-Maniac,Sure sign of a white flag is when you start in with “it is not necessary to fully comprehendGod…”  You can't win this debate scripturally so you drop down to this?  So predictable.The pastor of education said the exact same thing when he saw the trinity doesn't lineup with scripture.  …[Read more]

Also, no one (including Nick) has adequately dealt with the passage in Isaiah and John. Saying that Jesus was the figure upon the throne in Isa. 6 says not only that He was upon a throne, which alone would not account for much, but it is said that this figure was both Adonai and Yahweh. These 2 terms of deity are used in the first 8 verses and…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 26 2006,00:57)Hi E”quite simply really, for Jesus' being the Son of God in no way contradicts that He is also God the Son….. “So God the Son is not the God that Jesus is the Son of? Or is he really a son at all is he has never been begotten of God?twas brilig in the slivy tove…….

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 26 2006,00:41)Hi E, You say”Lastly, since I brought up Isaiah 6 above, you might be interested to know that this is another passage that proves the Trinity doctrine. For who is it that Isaiah sees in the chamber? Isaiah says it is none other then the great Adonai! For when the multitude asks in John 12:34 who the Son of…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 26 2006,00:06)Hi E, Jesus is God according to you and he is a human being. Does that make God a human being? I thought there are three persons in one being so how can one be a being in himself?”That is why you can quote a scripture like “for us there is one God, the Father” and it watch it roll off them like water on a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 26 2006,00:03)Hi E, Thank you for admitting you do not understand what you teach. Should we teach what we do not understand?” I admit I do not fully understand how can be 3 in person and 1 in essence, how there can be only 1 God, yet the Son and Holy Spirit have attributes of deity attributed to them… and while I may…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 25 2006,22:42)Hi E, If you wish to be effective as a warrior for Christ, you must be reborn into the Son of God, and you must abide within the whole counsel of God and not stray into intellectual byways and myths like trinity theory.”for it is only 1, myself, who has, with the strength of the Lord and the power of His…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 22 2006,21:57)Hi cubes,. Here is what Matthew wrote about Jesus. He recognised the Servant promised and sent by God to be Messiah and saviour.Matt 12.15f”15But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and (A)He healed them all, 16and (B)warned them not to tell who He was. 17This was to fulfill what…[Read more]
