1 | Does the Father have a God? | John 1:1 | STTIL | 137535 | ||
Be careful about which Unitarians you are talking about. There are Biblical Unitarians who believe just as you do about God and His Word, except for Jesus Christ being part of a trinity. Because it isn't allowed in this forum, I will not go into the details of that belief, but if one were to go to the Scriptures with meekness instead of preconcieved ideas made by man (Like the Nicene Creed) you might be surprised by what you find. The Nicene Creed came about because of an argument between a bishop and his assistant in the time of Constantine, although the trinitarian belief has its roots in Gnosticism, starting with Justin Martyr in response to the persecution of Emperor Trajan, trying to explain the Christian religion in term the Greeks could understand using phrases from the Greek philosophers Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates. Irenaeus, a bishop of Lyons furthered the view, along with Tertullian of Carthage. There are a few others along the way before the Council of Nicea met, made and signed the Nicene Creed. I can tell you this, if you think to convince a Biblical Unitarian to believe in the Trinity, it won't work. Most Unitarians are converted Trinitarians and most already know every verse you can show them in support of the Trinity, because they used them (the verses) trying to defend the Trinity themselves. Just FYI. |

STTL - I notice in your user profile that you list a Unitarian web site. If you don't mind, please answer a couple of questions. Are you defending Unitarianism? Do you accept or reject Trinitariansim and do you accept or reject the full deity of Jesus Christ -- is He the second Person of the triune God? --Hank | ||||||

Because I enjoy this forum, have found answers to my own questions by reading posts I will not put into any post any specific statements that are against the rules of this forum, (at least not on purpose). I suggest that if Trinitarianism is true it can stand up to Unitarianism. My personal belief in the Trinity isn't up for discussion. I will not debate the deity of Christ. | ||||||
4 | Does the Father have a God? | John 1:1 | Hank | 137550 | ||
STTIL - You are not being asked to debate the deity of Christ. You are being asked to affirm or deny His deity. The following question can be answered without debate of any kind: Do you believe in the full deity of Jesus Christ, yes or no? Were you to ask me the same questions that I asked you, I would have no hesitancy in answering them. Why do you? --Hank | ||||||
5 | Does the Father have a God? | John 1:1 | DocTrinsograce | 137575 | ||
The lack of an affirmation, though tacit, is a pretty clear affirmation in itself. | ||||||
6 | Does the Father have a God? | John 1:1 | Hank | 137608 | ||
Yes, it certainly is, Doc. It's fairly obvious that STTIL has no intention of answering the question on how he stands regarding the deity of Christ and, in view of this forum's guidelines, it's equally obvious why he doesn't answer the question. --Hank | ||||||
