Bible Note: Well, if you are going to build your theology incorporating one verse, without examining the rest of Scripture, have fun while it lasts! Any Christian theology MUST incorporate the entire text of the Old and New Testaments and be internally consistent (i.e. no contradictions). Only a Trinitarian theology does that without having to do some really heavy duty explaining away of very lengthy passages of Scripture that for the last two millenia have convinced men that God is one, and yet three separate subsistences are identified as God. I think it is the height of human pride to claim to have some relatively new revelation about the Bible that contradicts 2,000 years of sound Biblical scholarship. This, of course, is not proof that everyone who has come before couldn't be wrong, but it makes that scholarship worth a great deal of examination before rushing to such a sober (and possibly damning) conclusion. I am not going to re-hash another argument for the Trinity in this thread. Feel free to look at 80 percent of the answers I have given in the last week and jump in there. --Joe! |
