Phil,
You may not want to agree with me but these two posters PPS and LBG are out to lunch. I have nothing to do with them. They are presumptuous and they purposely miscontrue everything you post. To me that is being deceitful and when they do it knowingly that is even worse. They do not adhere to one of the basic tenets of the faith and they can not be trusted. That is all on them and they certainly can be ignored and given no credence. They can talk into the air all they want, but they have no conviction as to their terrible error concerning God who was manifested in the flesh through the person of His Son. To response to them is fruitless and not profitable because they are deceived by their error.
As some have said in the past, 'SHAKE THE DUST and MOVE ON'.
Phil, give the doctrine of the incarnation of Christ as you understand it from the scriptures.
I've not misrepresented you or been deceitful in any manner. We've barely conversed, and your accusations are baseless. As for lunch... you're just another indoctrinated, ignorant, arrogant Trinitarian who can't support their extra-biblical belief they inherited from men. You can't present a thorough Trinity apologetic or exegete Scripture that God is three "persons".
I adamantly affirm the Deity of Christ. I just don't affirm your Filioque-Trinity error-upon-error. The dust on your feet is from walking around in the filth of men's doctrines. Go shake it somewhere else.
And if you're going to do any shaking, scripturally it should be to those who reject the Gospel. I believe Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh. I just understand the Logos in John 1.
Take your Tritheistic dust elsewhere.
My issue with you was saying LBG was of the spirit of antichrist and didn't have eternal life. You're wrong for saying so, and you can't provide Scripture to support your view. I disagree with LBG, but he simply stands on the literal bare essentials of the Word for salvation.
The surest sign of indoctrination is never being able to examine other views on a stand-alone basis rather than caricaturing them to one's own single view. You can't objectively comprehend anything but Trinity; and you can't defend it beyond your conceptual understanding, or even be honest about its weaknesses.
Trinity hinges on one extra-biblical word... person(s). The main issue stems from not understanding Logos in John 1.
I affirm Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. Trinis think He's 1/3 of God. You're the one out to lunch... for only a 1/3 nibble of the truth. Go eat the bread of life... not 1/3 of it.
