    Jack,You said:Quote But when ever I expound my view to a certain individual here I get beat over the head that is not the common view among Trinitarians. This person needs to review what this site is all about.Maybe you wouldn't be called out on disagreeing with the mainstream trinitarians if you weren't CONSTANTLY classifying yourself as one of…[Read more]

    Irene,Unbelievable what all is happening in your family. If only we could see beyond this world and see that life continues in a much better place, perhaps that would bring comfort. Unfortunately we have to wait for that and trust that it is so by faith. These things are out of your control, Irene…just press on and encourage your family to…[Read more]

    Hi William,Can you please clarify something for me regarding this statement that you wrote:Quote The Father is best understood as being like our soul, embodying self (God in this case), exerting His will over His corporeal extension (the future begotten Son). So just as a human being's body provides our soul with its interface to the world, so the…[Read more]

    Mike,you said:Quote I believe that both instances of “dia” in Col 1:16 should be rendered as “through”.Can you show me where 'dia' is used more than once in Col 1:16?I asked:Quote All things came through the Son…right…not the Father?You replied:Quote Yes, that is my understanding.

    Mike,So would you please confirm for me that all things came from one person and through another person and therefore there were two persons involved in creation…right?Also, it seems that you would prefer the YLT's translation of Col 1:16 which says:because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those…[Read more]

    Mike,Trinitarians, nor myself believe that Jesus is the Father that He was begotten from which you don't seem to accept. The Nicene Creed does give the Son of God credit for all creation as being created BY the Son. From this phrase we see that the Son worked with the Father in the act of creation: “by whom all things were made.”Blessings,Kathi

    Keith,you said:Quote The only explanation is God is a plural being!Glad to have you back.  You speak of the unity a little differently than I do.  I would say that the explanation is that the Godhead is made up of more than one being, acting in unity as one God authority with their Holy Spirit, each being having deity nature.Blessings,Kathi

    Hi Ted,Yes, it has been a while…I'm doing great, thanks! I hope all is well with you too :)As far as what you have said, you are right that the forces of evil will be more deliberate. We need to meditate on God's Holy Word day and night and keep hiding His Word in our hearts, put on that armor daily and take up our cross and follow Christ. We…[Read more]

    Hi Mark,You might be surprised when you google things like 'sex with demons' and 'are vampires real.' The search results alone will make you question your original thought on this.
