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. |

Is your faithfulness to your Unitarian concept as sound as the agreement you said you would abide by when you joined the forum? Did you, or did you not, agree to the following when you joined the forum? "Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing to the authority of the Bible, Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Whenever possible, postings should include supporting Bible references." Friend, I can assure you that the previous paragraph is not open or subject to your own personal interpretation!! Incase you overlooked it, it does say the deity of Jesus Christ, or do you twist that around also to mean something entirely different. The straw man concept is rater obvious and I think you are walking on thin ice! If that is enough you are without a doubt conducting the following, which is not aloud on the forum. “Pushing one's denominational bias” 2 Peter 3:15-16 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; [16] As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
