Do you even know what a quantum state is lol?
It's a condition where a light bulb is both ON and OFF at the same time.
This state is only theoretical, because whenever you look at it, it clearly expresses itself in being either ON or OFF.

The state is in all possibilities only towards to our knowledge.

Also, it works only in a quantum level (particles). A light bulb cen never be in such a state.

In this realm of existence yes, but outside of space time this is not true, all three exist as one at the same time.

I don't know what a Unitarian is, but here is what I am. I believe there is only one God expressed in three persons - The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost. The Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Ghost is God... does that make me a Trinitarian?
But this expression is valid only for 2000 years, right? Before and after this creation, there will be no Father and Son, but "person number 1, person number 2" without any possible distinction between them?

Thats possible, we cannot know how God "works". For now (and maybe for ever) it will remain a mystery.

Lame answer.... but I'm getting used to that. No explanation, I'm wrong because you say I'm wrong.
You asked whether whether your theology was wrong or your understanding of Physics.
I know your theology is a problem (the physics issue is irrelevant here).

As for the explanation of why - you have already received that in great detail.
Why do I need to rehash everything.
As for you now saying that you believe God is three persons that is decidedly not what you said before.
You most expressly said this: "There is one God period. God is capable of being the Father in heaven at the same time he is the son earth. God is not bound by space time, he is in heaven and in earth at the same time - One God the Father in heaven, One God the son on Earth at the same time. The same being in two places at the same time... this is quantum physics."

That is the unitarian position.
(Apart from the irrelevant reference to quantum physics, that is.)

I remind you that the above quote was your explanation.

This expression is valid for eternity because God is out side of time, there is no past, present and future for God. I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but there is no person number 1, number 2 etc. They are all the same person, ONE GOD, but there are distinctions between each. God is in heaven as the Father but the same ONE GOD was on earth at the same time the Father was in heaven.

The Father in heaven has a specific role, the Son has specifc role so there are distinctions betwen them but they are the same God. This is why I say God exists in a quantum state, he is "the light on and off at the same time". He is Father in heaven at the same time he is Son on earth.

I like the quote, I meant it exactly as I said and neither of the 2 statements contradict the other... your understanding of the 2 statements may be contradictory but that is irrelevant.

I read up on unitarianism and they DO NOT believe what I said above, not anywhere even remotely close to what I said.

The Holy Spirit is in it and eagerly awaits the sinner to change them into the image of Jesus Christ. And please don't refer to our LORD as an "it".
hmmmm. pot/kettle?

You know, I never thought I'd be "defending" KJV1611, but I think you guys are being nit-picky and harsh for no reason at all... from what I've read, he believes exactly the way scripture states it... at least as far as we humans can comprehend. He's NOT saying anything heretical at all. I suspect you are all saying the same thing, just using different terms.

This silliness needs to stop. Constant nit-picking over jots and tittles. :rolleyes:

Why does anyone have a problem with this?

Am I missing something?

“mongenes”: Mono: only, Genes: generation, thus...only begotten.

I believe what is written in the Authorized Version of the Holy Bible.
And that way I avoid all the devilish confusion corrupt bibles and philosophers present.

The confusion many of you posters have seems to arise from at least three errors.

1. Erring in not knowing the holy scriptures.
If you read modern versions you are not reading the scriptures of a God.

2. Erring in not believing what is written.
That is, even when you do read the authorized scriptures you error in not believing what is written.

3. Erring in not knowing the power of God.

For example, some casually say the Holy Spirit this, and Holy Spirit that, not understanding that “Holy Spirit” is found one time in scripture.
And that it occurs only once for a precise reason.
Which understanding never occurs to casual readers such as the haters of the Authorized Version are required to be.

Or, as another example, read the discussion about only begotten Son in this thread. In it a poster claimed monogenes meant unique.

When it’s obvious that, the only begotten Son of God, is unique because of being the only begotten.
But, obviously begotten refers to generation.
As for example... Abraham offered up his only begotten son...Isaac.
Which teaches precisely what God means by Jesus Christ of Nazareth being his only begotten Son.

But someone philosophied that there wasn’t any dna of God involved in Jesus’ birth. Which of course is absurd.
You all know that the woman doesn’t have the male chromosome (Y), right?
So, how was a male body produced in the case of Mary, the virgin?

When you read that the a Holy Ghost “overshadowed” Mary, at the conception, what do you think that means?
It means that you and I have no understanding of that act of conception because it is thing hidden by God.

When you read, Jesus Christ came in the flesh, you should understand that he was already Jesus Christ when he came. He didn’t become Jesus Christ at some later time, such as at his baptism by John the Baptist.
And, it is important to read carefully since, if you reason incorrectly about Jesus Christ having come in the flesh then you end up agreeing with the spirit of antichrist.

Some always say they know about error in the Authorized but they never present a evidence of error.
The Authorized is accurate. And this thread proves what a waste of time it is to search for error in the Authorized Version. But then to turn to modern corrupt versions and swallow the blatant lies in them is shameful.

I can't take it seriously anymore so I'm just reading it for the entertainment element.

Nah... we're still brothers... even though we don't agree on the whole KJVO stuff.... we all have enough to discuss/argue about without going after semantics. :)

Hebrews 1:5
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Notice it says that “I will be”
and “he shall be”.

You also believe that Father-Son releationship in Trinity is only temporal and only because of bodily incarnation?

No it's not. All the major excepted versions have been shown to have inaccuracies, since perfect translation from one language to another is impossible. We all pretty much knew that going into this debate. Whether or not those inaccuracies constitute errors is opinion, not fact. The Onlies have failed to prove that the KJV is the only version in the only language blessed by God. Jesus is still the one and only Savior and way to the Father, according to all the versions.

I suddenly have a craving for popcorn.:)
