If you are not really familiar with biblical languages, then I suggest you don’t try and get into  setting up some kind of argument based on the Greek text.  Going online and grabbing up something quick from some online site is no way near adequate.  The minute I see something like that, I know some amateur has jumped in way over his or her head.…

No, that isn’t at all accurate about the  actual historical development of the trinity.  Also, you have completely missed my b point about  organic unity and connectedness. Sorry, but you actually have.

Hoghead. I do not have to understand anything regarding the Trinity or Binity or Krishna, Buddha, or whatever. With regards to the Trinity I have…[Read more]

T8…..While God can’t be tempted by evil, he can be tempted by foolishness according to JESUS’ response to Satan, “you shall not tempt the LORD your God”. So while evil itself can not , perhaps other things can.

Without studying this indepth or just looking up the Greek, even if Jesus said we shouldn’t TEMPT (same word as tempt found elsewhere…[Read more]

Hi, t8,

If you follow along with the  substance metaphysics of the fathers, then God  is viewed as a  wholly simple being,  meaning no parts, no internal complexity, all alike inside.  This is the arithmetic concept of unity, divine or otherwise. And yes, that certainly would mean the if the Father is God, then the Son is automatically ruled…

You’re right, T8.  Ignoring hi9m is the way to go.  Meanwhile, his posts do encourage me to practice up on being witty.  For me, online forums are very good places to practice up on your communication skills.

Yes  it is true that there is a benefit to all things if we are in Christ. Jesus put up with all kinds of people and it is said that even h…[Read more]

It is another to call the church fathers all liars and those who hold with the Trinity all idolaters, etc.

The Trinity wasn’t taught by the Church fathers till later on. But Paul warned us about people from our own number who will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.

As for what the Church Fathers taught, you will not…[Read more]

Hello again, t8,

You brought into p lay one passage in Scripture which does present s subordinationalistic view of Christ.  However, there are other passages that do in fact identify Christ with God, such as the prologue to Jn. The Trinity is a central teaching in Christianity, due to these latter passages. The problem is putting them together…

You were the one who said that you think that some of the biblical writers are prejudice.

Well, then the question becomes: Why find them so objectionable? Also,  are you saying you have deep-seated homosexual impulses you are continually struggling to keep repressed? If so , better see a therapist.  Bad for your psychical economy to have to expend  so much energy in your defense system.  Also, if you don’t mind me asking, how much ex…

I don’t think you quite understand what I meant when I was talking bout the trinity.  What I was saying is that the Trinity is  rooted in Scripture.  The question about homosexuality’s a different kind of question.  Here, the issue isn’t whether it’s in Scripture , but whether one agrees with what Scripture has to say.

I wasn’t confused. Y…[Read more]
