Here is what is said of Ambrose in the document by Gill linked in the OP. I agree with him also!
10. Ambrose, bishop of Milan, after having said many things in opposition to Arius, Sabellius, Photinus, and Eunomius, observes, that “when you speak of a Father, you also design his Son, for no man is a father to himself; and when you name a son, you…[Read more]Lightenup replied to the topic Job 2:7 Viewpoints of belief and unbelief in the forum Truth or Tradition 13 years, 4 months ago
Pierre, to see what you have done, just read the judgements that you make towards me in nearly every post that you make to me. The false judgements abound. What I said about thinking you were like Job's friend is completely true, btw. I read what you posted in the 'Eternal Sonship' thread on Tuesday morning and related you to Job's false accuser…[Read more]

Pierre, are you saying that you were 1/2 of a man in your marriage?

1 man + 1 woman = 1 flesh.That is 1 + 1 = 1In your view, that must be 2, not 1. You go argue with God about it, not me. Mike,Marlin corrected me because He knows that to be God, one cannot have a beginning, in which I agree and I don't think Jesus had a beginning. What He seems unaware of is that the word 'begotten' in and of itself can just mean…[Read more]

Mike,You may have one god but it isn't the God of Jesus. Jesus' God is not His creator. Btw, the disciples believed in the Father AND the Son too and both are 'the theos.'Jesus said, “Believe in God, believe also in me.”

Pierre,You picked up some bad habits in reading Job, I believe. I was just thinking the other day that you sound a lot like Job's friends that falsely accused Job and needed forgiveness, ha. They thought they were so smart, but it turns out they were not.

Pierre,You say that you stick to scriptures but I showed you just the other day that God blinds the eyes of men and you didn't believe it, in fact, you told me that I was making God out to be wicked. I was merely quoting scripture. You stick to your own misunderstanding of scripture.I find the understanding of the early church fathers valuable to…[Read more]

Yes, Kerwin, me too! Also pray for truth to reign here on HN and that the soldiers of Christ would prepare for battle, working together against the enemy instead of fighting each other.

Pierre,Quote God his lord of lords and if Christ his lord of lords ,why would it say that God is lord of lords Why do you write 'his' for 'is' sometimes?Anyway, take your question to YHWH and wait and listen for Him to answer you. Ask with a whole heart, not one that leans on your previous understanding.

Marty,Yes, you should never worship Jesus just because you should. That would just be religion. It is an expression of a contrite heart.
