Bible Note: Greetings, believer57. I am very disappointed but not surprised by your latest post. I will gladly entertain discussions about the Bible, but I reject post-apostolic writings as the basis for doctrines. That this is considered heretical is fatuous. I have submitted many answers and questions, sincerely seeking dialog, only to be brushed aside with a specious post that looks suspiciously like a convenient smokescreen behind which someone afraid of the truth may hide. You said: 'We have pointed out scripture after scripture that disproves this "Oneness" heresy, but it is obvious that you are not listening.' Au contraire, mon ami. I have attempted to respond to every significant point you raised. As of yet, you have not deigned to answer my responses. Surely if you have "truth" it will not crumble so easily before such "heresy". By the way, "heresy" is defined as: "a belief opposed to authoritative opinion in any area of thought". The only authoritative opinion relative to scripture that I submit to with respect to the formulation of doctrine is that of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. I harbor no personal animus for you, sir. Addressing me as "pastor" (i.e., the word pastor enclosed in quotation marks, implying that I'm not really a pastor) may give you personal gratification, but it does nothing to support your claims, and the attempt to vilify me is fairly obvious to me. But I forgive you. :) If I may suggest without offense to you, please attempt to answer the points that I have raised in my previous posts to you. Failure to do so is tacit admission of inability to do so, I'm afraid. Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Preacher |
