Subject: Is God ONE or is God THREE? |
Bible Note: Greetings, believer57 (the father) and David (the son). Again, I'm disappointed but not surprised at your response. I beseech you to not make this a personal battle. You write (amazingly): "Also, the simple fact that you "nay-say" the teachings of the early church fathers, in itself is a characteristic of a false prophet(Jude 1:8 "...speak evil of dignities.")...is it not..mon ami?" Adolf Hitler was a "dignity" to somebody, but he wasn't one to me. Again, you write (amazingly): "Now, why dont you understand the trinity? Either, I Corinthians 2:14, a demon spirit, or pride. You were probably tought this non-sence when you were a kid and are simply too pridful to consider the truth. It is amazing to me how many cultist will stay in denial just out of pride. When you finally say to God, not my will, but thine be done...thats when the truth will you like a ton of bricks. But you have to deny yourself before you can follow Jesus." I'm almost speechless. Again I think of Stephen, being chewed on by men who could not resist the wisdom with which he spoke. ("If you can't attack the argument, just go ahead and attack the man.") Again, you write (amazingly): "Lastly, as far as the salvation of a modalist is concerned, thats not my job, but I can tell you that your skating on thin ice." How do you know that? Again, I'm flabbergasted! There are many things that could be said about me and many things that could be said about you. But those things are not important when it comes to discussing the Bible. I am weary of painstakingly answering your questions only to have my answers casually brushed aside or improperly analyzed. If anyone else cares to take up this thread, be my guest. I repeat my earlier post by saying I harbor no animus for believer57. I truly believe we are at an impasse as far as this discussion goes. I will be happy to respond to logical and thoughtful analysis of my previous posts. I do not feel it is an effective use of this forum to have to repeat the statements that I made in the beginning of this thread. Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Preacher P.S. When researching the meaning of "huios", consider the "Sons of thunder", the "Son of consolation", the "sons of wrath", etc., etc. "It always helps to open your mind before trying put something in it." :) |
