hoghead you come across as a man who prides himself on his education and thinks he is an intellectual. I do not know if this is correct, but the truth is that is how you come across to me at least. I am not saying it is so however, but being honest about the perception.

Well, when you are willing to sell you daughter into slavery and refuse to eat ham, then I will assume you are living Scripture to the letter, no cherry picking. But then again, both Christ and Paul seem to have done some real cherry picking on these laws. Paul dropped all the dietary laws, and eventually Peter as well.

No cherry picking but…[Read more]

Where is your work of the spirit? I hope it is not all the criticism you have for all others but yourself. That certainly doesn’t qualify.

Hi T8,

God is not scientific despite your best efforts to teach that He is.

Yor boxes will never be BIG enough.

Nick, ‘sciences means ‘knowledge’. And without knowledge you can perish.

The word ‘conscience’ for example just means ‘with knowledge’.

There is certainly a thing called the knowledge of God. If we didn’t have that then we would be…[Read more]

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.

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…
