Qustion for anyone who cares to respond...
If Jesus didn't claim to be God, why did the Jews kill him?
Thanks,
Phil

Re: Trinity.
Hi Brenden, I'm popping back in to respond to your answer to my earlier post. So if I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that in this particular instance Jesus calling himself God's son means that He's not God the son? b) That Jesus pointed out the fallacy in their thinking by reminding th...

Re: Trinity.
OK Brenden, sorry about the delay, let me see if I'm understanding your question here: Let's consider what the Jews believed Jesus was saying. "The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God." Jesus answ...

Re: Trinity.
Morning to all... While I had a few minutes I thought I'd take a shot at clarifying my understanding of the topic at hand... I'm not here to defend the word trinity and it's accompanying baggage, so let me restate what I find the bible teaches: The Father is God The Son is God The Holy Spirit is God...

Re: Trinity.
Brenden, sorry I don't have the time to respond to all that you ask, I'll start at the bottom. I guess I'm not understanding the use of the word monotheism, maybe I'm wrong. I consider myself a monotheist. Here's my understanding of what the bible teaches: The Father is God The Son is God The Holy S...

Re: Separation of Church and state
You make some good points thrombomodulin. The end of my post, "Remember, we live in the fallen side of the Kingdom." was meant to acknowledge some of these problems. The "now, but not yet" aspect of living in the Kingdom of God in this fallen world is challenging at times. Let me take a little diffe...

Re: Trinity.
Homer I think I would take them to the scriptures, as I did in my post above, that demonstrate the the Divinity of Christ. Here's another example: Rev 1:8 “ I am the Alpha and the Omega ,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Here we see God the Father using the ...

Re: Trinity.
Let's look at a couple of scriptures... John 5:18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God . Now in this situation, John is acting as a reporter so to speak. So...

Re: Separation of Church and state
It seems to me that one of the God given roles of the state is to keep evil down to a dull roar. Romans 13:1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently,...

Re: Is the trinity "extra-biblical"
Brenden, how do you understand the command Jesus gave in Matthew 28:19-20? 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, t...
