Thanks William for your explanation although I don' think it is trinitarian. It sounds more like modalism to me but I could be wrong.Here is a copy of the Nicene Creed that unites the vast majority of the churches that consider themselves Christian. I was wondering if you would say if you agree with this or not. If not, would you please bold out…[Read more]

Mike,Do you think that the Lamb is holy?(I didn't have to search for that song, it is one of my fav's

BD,you said:Quote God has given many testimonies of many sons and none of them are literal son. So if you do not believe God you have made Him a liar,do you even know what it means to be th son of God?There is one who is a literal Son and He is the only begotten Son/only begotten God.There is definitely a distinction between the only begotten…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ Sep. 23 2012,03:49)As God works in our life He reveals truth to us at the appropriate time. Early in my relationship with God He showed me that many, if not most, Christians set their doctrine on an extreme of a pendulums swing, but truth is found in the balance. I remember when I first encountered that the teaching of the…[Read more]

Frank,you said:Quote No, what you have presented certainly does not lend any “help” in this matter!Sorry you think so. Nevertheless, I have found a great deal of support from the early church on John 1:18 saying 'the only begotten God.'I don't want to argue this with you.
