    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    Absolute Sovereignty was given to him - God gave it. Jesus, after dying, ascended to His God. Jesus' place is at the Right Hand Side of the Throne not on the throne - that is the Throne of God. There is only One Immortal Soul, God - that means all else are contingent. As I have argued...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    If the category is military human, I would agree. But let us say miltary asset. Is a human Marine the same as an AI uav? We are the children of Sarai. Children of Promise. As Abraham was about to sacrifice his only begotten son isaac to God, so has God sacrificed His Only Begotten Son for...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    That is 200%. Does that make sense when 100% means all? Have you seen an Invisible God? Are you able to see beyond this timespace continuum? The demonstrable presence of Christ's Authority, Personality and Holiness is as close as you can get to God. Matt 4:7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    Now I am an agnostic snowflake obsessed with booty? Wow! I thought it was clear. My faith requirements are spelled out in the Apostles's Creed. No more. No less. What I know are what is in the the Scriptures. Understand?

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    I will assume this is meant for me. It is the other way around. The literal meaning is father of booty or father of eternity. Because of cultural Christendom, it was changed to everlasting father. I totally agree. It is certainly a sin to not adhere to the truth. Consider this definition of...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    No need to try again. A bunch of anecdotes do not make a theory. I don`t trust you and your knowledge. Causes dissonance in my worldview. Yes, I do not understand the godhead, but I suspect neither do you. I have no credentials, so I depend only on the Scriptures. Knowing something that is...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    Since you wish to discuss my unbelief, I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; I do not believe that Jesus said the Father was greater than He. I know it is written in the Scriptures I do not believe that Jesus said...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    Like I said אהיה "I am being" is used 43 in the OT. 12 of those are in reference to others not God. Once again slavishly asking to reinterpret the bible because of your doctrine. State clearly the principle by which "I am being" refers to God and "I am being" used to refer to others. Your...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    The message of the bible is very straightforward when read with an open heart, an insatiable hunger and a closed mind . An open heart to receive the Holy Spirit, an insatiable hunger for the flesh of the Messiah, a closed mind fed only by the blood of Christ. My worldview requires no...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    I will take that as a compliment, for as an agnostic has logic, you on the other hand not so much. I guess you are offended by the term "booty"? In that cases, get your mind out of the gutter. If you care to read past the ellipsis, you will find out explanation of the translation of...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    Exo 3 is when Moses was hmming and hawing about going to egypt asking what should he say. The classic line "I AM THAT I AM" that's it that's all. Basing my beliefs on people who want to kill my master is not a good thing. Judas Iscariot anyone? Berean Study Bible John 8:26 “I have much to...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    What is written in the Scriptures does not mislead, only the doctrines of men. The bible is inerrant, but the interpretations are rife full of inconsistencies. The bible and it subsequent copies are full of variances. From memory, for ~100000 verses, there are ~500000 variances. Does it...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    Extrapolating Jesus's "equal" authority on earth as co-equal nature is a stretch. In the subsequent verse John 5:19, Jesus explains His Status and Power vis-a-vis the Deity. Consider Gen. 44:18 Joseph's authority is equal to the pharaoh, but not of the same substance. (Berean Study Bible)...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    Very well. In response to #360. The phrase is a greek translation from aramaic/hebrew and in turn, a translation from greek to english. The significance of the tense of the phrase is not self-evident. All I see is Jesus admitting to be older than Abraham and not as the God of Abraham. (see...

    Understanding the Trinity as a doctrine.

    What you say is misleading. English was invented, I am guessing maybe pre 1000 CE. So "I AM" (english form) was never in the Scriptures, The hebrew "אהיה" (your english "I AM" is in the bible 43 times in the OT based on my count. How many times was this said by people other than God? 12...
