Bible Question:
Dear saints, The above verse, preceded by "This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses." Acts 2:32 NASB, speaks clearly of the Tri-Une nature of our God, or the Trinity. In the statement of faith of our sponsors is written, "We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary." This is a clear statement of the Three-in-One God. Call it what you will, but this is the faith of Christianity from the very beginning of the Lord Jesus' ministry on earth. Any attempt to 'unify' or 'combine' this basic, ubiquitous doctrine into 'One Entity' is not in keeping with the Bible, nor with the creed of our sponsors and purpose of this forum. I am forthwith boycotting any further discussion of the 'Oneness' or 'Jesus-only' topics. Further consideration of this line is without merit, and will only hurt this forum, and the saints in this fellowship. Will you join me in stopping this unwise waste of time? Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: I join you. Whereas I am in agreement with Charis in his posting of Tue, 05-08-2001, 10:23am; and whereas I must obey the following Scriptures: 2 Tim 2:14 "Of these things put them in remembrance, charging [them] in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear"; 2 Tim 2:16 "But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness"; 2 Tim 2:23 "But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes"; and 2 Peter 3:16 "as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction"; Therefore, I have determined to take the following action: I join Charis and Hank in that I am forthwith boycotting any further discussion of the 'Oneness' or 'Jesus-only' topics. -JVH0212 Tuesday, -05-08-2001, 1:00pm |
