You don't getbit do you
the main difference between people on these websites(on the whole, not all) and the vast majority in churches is, that those in church who would never dream of coming on these websites don't spend most of their lives discussing head theology, and reading up hugely of the pre trib rapture, revelation, Babylon, ontological/economic trinity/osas, the noahide laws etc, because they don't make a god of head theology driven by the little grey calls

Hence, they are far closer to the most important doctrine than many on these websites.
They don't condemn people in most instances for standing on the plain words of Christ when he walked this earth

Many on these websites have been trapped by the ego of the little grey calls

You need to learn the different between the mind and the soul. The mind doesnt have ego.
And all theology is head knowledge including yours. So your problem isnt this website. Its your doctrine.

Well, you finally answered one of my questions. If you ask me, you're way over due for a break.

You asked me to repost my question to you, I did, and guess what, you didn't reply again

Zone, I don't get it. All that reading up of theology/doctrine you have done, should have been a doddle for you to answer the question
Maybe I'd better put you on ignore as well. No debate to be had, best to move along

No.

The Trinity is a title given to God.

Like water really.

Water has three forms it appears in:

Vapor - gaseous form
Ice - solid form
Water - liquid form

No matter what form water takes in it's realistic instances, it is still water. Same with God; The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit are all God's titles. But God is still God - not three separate entities, just three different forms.

Like Water which takes on different forms according to circumstance, God took on these three forms for various circumstances, mostly to first introduce God as the true God ( The Father was known as Jahova in the Old Testament and showed his authority here and there to demonstrate that amongst the false gods of that time, he was indeed the true one.) The Son was the form God took in order to come in the flesh as Jesus Christ, who behaved like a son of God to give an example for God's people / children and too partake in the great sacrifice to fulfill the Old Covenant and establish the New Covenant so we may gain eternal life in our times.

Lastly is the Holy Spirit which is the " depth " of God if you will, sent down in our generation times to bring enlighten his children with wisdom and understanding of his holy word so they may know the way to salvation.

This is the final step in the trinity, and the Holy Spirit is the one today's Christians should be paying attention to, because he will be our savior in the last days, hence Jesus's proclamation about 2nd coming Christ.

If you don't know the name of the Holy Spirit, you cannot recognize your savior in this age. Jahova was the Father, Jesus was the Son...the Holy Spirit has a physical name on the earth only those who are asking for will know.

Seek and you will find.

God Bless.

Do you utterly condemn as unfit to be a minister any preacher who will not stand in the pulpit and plainly state what to you is the foundational belief of the faith, and one that will not plainly state from the pulpit if a person believes jesus is the son of God, but not God Himself they cannot be saved with that belief, and are therefore damned and will go to hell(your belief)
whoa whoa whoa....slow down mark.

can you show me anywhere i said people who believe Jesus is the Son of God "are therefore damned and will go to hell (your belief)"?

For I am assuming you passionately believe it is the fundamental responsibility and obligation of a minister to plainly state from the pulpit what is and what is not acceptable belief unto salvation concenring the person of who Christ is and the consequences of getting it wrong
what gave you THAT idea?

let me adjust that for you:

i "passionately believe it is the fundamental responsibility and obligation of a minister to plainly PREACH from the pulpit THE WORD OF GOD...full stop."

Will you answer the above now Zone?
FORTHRIGHTLY
Doesn't it cut you up inside every time a mniister refuses to plainly state from the pulpit what to you is the core of Christian faith
And is there not anguish in your heart if a minister plainly refuses to state to their flock loudly and clearly what is and what is not acceptable belief as to who Christ is unto salvation and the consequences of getting it worng
what?
are you alright?

it cuts me up "inside every time a minister refuses to plainly PREACH THE WORD OF GOD from the pulpit"

Are you not grieved and driven to despair for the flock where this is not plainly and clearly stated from the pulpit

You should be, i would be if I believed what you did
you have me confused with someone else.

i'll tell you what does cut me up and grieve me...if people are making a specific point of teaching ARIANISM.
when the Bible doesn't teach it.

Personally I could never sit in a church if the mniister refused to plainly state salvational belief plainly and clearly and the consequences of getting ot wrong, that's just my opinion though
it took me a long time to find a church where the minister just let the Word of God speak.
prior to that i had "ministers plainly stating" what THEY thought the Bible said.

are you going to ask a question i can actually answer?
or not?

Fine
But if you believe a person must believe Jesus is God Himself unto salvation, a belief he is simply the son of God is unacceptable belief unto salvation, please answer the simple question placed before you
Thanks

Well sorry if i am(offensive). And if i am it was after you made claims about my disposition and emotions
which you were wrong about. Then did it one more time.

I did answer your question a few times and i did show scripture where Jesus made clear claim to being God.
And you didnt respond at all. While singing over and over noone has and all that.:p
Well i think your right though that i should leave the thread. That sounds wise.

I can only repeat Abiding
Please give me the plain scripture where Christ claimed to be the one true god Himself and contradicted his words in John17:3
Thanks

Nope that is simply not true, as I have many times stated, please try and be honest

My only problem here is with people who insist you MUST believe Christ is God Himself unto salvation

Please try and speak honestly concerning me Zone

Take your time

BTW
As we all know you believe a person must believe Christ is God Himself unto salvation, it is obvious you don't want to answer the question, just prevaricate
But if I am wrong, and you do not believe a person must believe Christ is God Himself unto salvation just let me know

i'm going to start at the beginning of this thread.
i'll take as long as i want to do it.

i am still unclear as to what your SINGLE most pressing question is.
you keep saying there's ONE question.

is it :

1) is Jesus God?
2) does someone have to believe Jesus is God to be saved
3) do i condemn ministers for....."____________________________"

so make up you mind what your REAL question is.

you can either restate it clearly, with no monkey business, or not.


IS THIS IT?:

"Do you :

- utterly condemn as unfit to be a minister any preacher who
- will not stand in the pulpit and plainly state
- what to you is the foundational belief of the faith
- and one that will not plainly state from the pulpit
- if a person believes jesus is the son of God
- but not God Himself
- they cannot be saved
- that belief
- and are therefore damned and will go to hell (your belief)"

because this is BOGUS, and a set-up...with this tagged at the end - "(your belief)"

ask your own question based on your OWN beliefs. don't frame a fake question based on what you say I believe or think or say.

i'll check later to see if you start making sense.


bye for now

hahaha.....this is awesome.
not going to work on me though Mark.

your fatal flaw is "a person must believe"

not what a person WILL believe when presented with the undiluted uncorrupted Word of God < LOGOS.

please don't tell me you're not an Arian on purpose.

cuz ya are.
