You have one heck of a nerve to keep demanding that people answer your questions. You do it because you are insecure and live in error. You are a heckler when you do that. You provoke people with your incessant desire and demand that others answer your questions because you do not like being opposed by those that do not back off. You are one of the biggest accusers on this site and you parade around in your sanctimonious sarcasm making demands from others and accusing them of your own guilt.
You know darn well that when it comes to providing support in the scriptures, my answers are usually loaded and if I give no scripture you know that I have the scripture and have mentioned many times that I am available to give them upon request. But you pretend and lie on this site that it is not so. You deliberately deceive people for your own purposes and that is not good. Your friend VW left for a time and you did not like that and you hold me responsible. But I am not to blame for his wounds or for yours that you both claim and hold the church responsible. You both have scores of inward issues with the church and body of Christ and you come on this site to exercise yourself your way as an independent believer.
Jesus Christ was God manifest in the flesh and if any deny this simply truth and mystery of godliness, that is the spirit of antichrist, and those that try to cover up their error with confusion are even worse in their pursuit to convince others. If you have one speck of decency or one once of grace in your heart, please do not ever ask me another question as long as you live, for I am not interested. I am officially cutting you off and treating you as one who asks and thinks like a heretic for many reasons. Whatever others think of this post will be between them and God but my conscience in clean on this matter. If you could see my face you would see an angry countenance but without sin and with great joy and peace in my heart.

As one who has observed these exchanges... you may somehow be at peace with yourself, but you make your exit from controversy as a dishonest, disingenuous, pouting child.
I adamantly affirm the Deity of Christ, and can thoroughly exegete that He indeed IS. But... Scripture doesn't demand that belief for eternal life. Nor does Scripture refer to the spirit of antichrist in this regard. In 1 John 4, the Apostle is referring to Gnostics who insisted Jesus didn't actually become flesh, which they believed was corrupt; rather that He was just an immaterial manifested projection of sorts.
LBG has consistently presented basic facts that you ignore, having deceived yourself into thinking you've somehow refuted his view. But this is normal for Trinitarians, who can't support their beliefs from Scripture and presume their perceptions are reality.
You likely won't respond to me, either, since I don't agree with your doctrines of men; but, for the record, you leave the topic with your opinions unrepresented and unsubstantiated. You haven't provided any scriptural foundation for your assertion that salvific faith must include the Deity of Christ; and your accusation against LBG is baseless personal.
You seem to be a person of general integrity and great zeal, even though I disagree with your views. You have not acquitted yourself well in this area, and LBG's simple assertions have gone unrepudiated, leaving you with limited credibility.
Why not just post Scripture or admit it's not specifically required in the Word? You've not ever done either that I'm aware of.
