Too many different topics are being discussed here. Maybe let’s slow down a little so that there will be less confusion. Too many questions and too many topics and too many answers. :whistle::unsure:

I am following all of it. It is all about the same thing and the offshoots in thinking to it or that. People have different questions. :)

I am not a Docetist. I don't know what you are asking me.

What do you mean by biological child of God?
Click to expand...
you say the Father is Jesus' Dad.
and it was the Holy Spirit who made Jesus become a life, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, which is God.

so, if God is how Jesus was born, how is he a human being to you?

why isn't He like God, who made Him come to life?

I don't understand your question. Do you have the text in front of you?

You said in an earlier post that you thought it was God the Father who visited Abraham. How was Abraham able to see God and still live?

If God is Spirit then maybe Abraham did not see God. I don't know. I don't know what you are asking me either. You don't have to say God the Father. Just God. God became a Father when Mary conceived or when Jesus was born.

but only half, by this reasoning, we're discussing.

so, if he is only one half human from His mom, what's the other half of Him, since His dad is God?

Some people say half and others say whole or 100% or all or something. There are many variations. I don't know if you are asking me a question that I would play a determining role in.

you say Jesus is not God.
but if His dad is God, that makes Him God by biologics alone...in this specific discussion and unbiblical view we're having here.

God was always the Father or He would have had to change. Since He cannot change, He has always been the Father.
So if it wasn't God, who did Abraham see?

I am a Christian. I do not follow Christianity. This means that I accept the Bible but I do not accept Christian doctrines that are not found in the Bible.

NASB20

Christian
Acts 26:28 NASB20 - Agrippa [replied] to Paul, "In a short [time] you [are going to] persuade me to make a Christian [of myself.]"
1 Peter 4:16 NASB20 - but if [anyone suffers] as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

Christians
Acts 11:26 NASB20 - and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers of people; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

I am open to discussion of matters of this concern. If you think that I am out to lunch let me know. Otherwise I would just say I am a Christian and an adherent of Christianity.

Church doctrine, regardless of the denomination, and Christian doctrine are not necessarily one and the same. What parts exactly, of Christian doctrine that you're not an adherent of?
