I agree that it likely did not, since the police officer was married to a Laotian woman. If he was a hardcore racist, I doubt if he would have been married to a minority. By the way, there was a similar death at the hands of police officers of a white person. They even joked about it as he...

Additionally, I believe it is wrong and counter-biblical to glorify violence in any way. However, there is a certain sense of justice that is part of the image of God that humans bear, however distorted this image is.

Luke 3:10-14 10 And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?” 11 And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” 12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?” 13 And he said...

Romans 13:1-7 1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For...

In light of the riots which are occurring on a daily basis, the Christian should ask himself whether the use of deadly force for self protection, and the protection of one's property, is biblical in some circumstances. On one hand, Scripture says that we should be able to accept wrong from our...

I wrote the original post before I realized that riots have spread to cities within 2 hours from me. I will admit at this point I struggle with bad feelings about those who have decided destruction is an appropriate response to this case of police brutality. Our society really does not need...

You do not believe Jesus is the only begotten Son of God? Where do you get that from? And, if you believe that the Son is not eternal, then how can you claim he is God? One of the attributes of God is eternality. And, Jesus is the eternal son of God. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the...

How can you have love between a Being and his hand puppet, the flesh of Jesus, in your theology? Yes, we believe that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three Persons which eternally have lived in relationship.

So the Father and Holy Spirit have ceased to exist? In other words, God has taken the other puppets off his hand, and donned Jesus only? The Father and the Holy Spirit no longer exist, and the immutable God has changed? By the way, there are three distinct minds, but they are one in purpose...

The recent police killing of an unarmed black man is disgusting. There was no excuse for his death. The police officer used a technique that caused his death, and he deserves to be punished. Massive protests have occurred throughout the nation. Some have involved burning buildings...

By the way, cults have their own pridefulness concerning knowledge, and prideful people fall prey to them. In this way, intelligent, vain people are deceived by cults like anti-Trinitarian groups. It appeals to their vanity. They love being part of the "elect" who know "the truth", and I am...

Of course he is. That is because there is only one God yet three Persons, each co-essential and co-eternal. In one sense, you could say that the fullness of God dwells in me, because the Holy Spirit is in me. He mediates the presence of both the Father and the Son actually. You can't...

Your questions don't even make sense to me on this topic. How in the world can you claim the Holy Spirit doesn't witness to Jesus? It is the Holy Spirit who applies salvation to the believer. He is the one who gives the believer the gift of faith. He regenerates the person, causing him to...

My academic and professional credentials are none of your business, but I have a bachelor of science degree in business administration focusing in accounting from a respected university. I worked with financial analysis systems for years before having health issues that forced me to quit...

There were three distinct Persons at the baptism of Jesus. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. The three Persons share the same essence, which is spirit. However, the claim that one spirit = one Person is a false claim, in regards to the nature of God. Three Persons share the one Spirit. Jesus is a...

Christianity teaches that there is one God yet three Persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each are co-essential (sharing the same essence) and co-eternal. You cannot split God into two different natures, and claim that one nature had a relationship with the other nature. This is incoherent...

Distinct persons witness. Whether they are spirit or not is irrelevant. At the baptism of Jesus, the Father witnessed to Jesus with his voice. At the same event, the Holy Spirit witnessed to Jesus by the dove resting on his head. By the way, this is another set of verses that the Oneness...

There is a continual effort to split God into two different natures during the Incarnation, rather than acknowledging that there are three distinct Persons within the Triune God.

Here's some James White debates or discussions with Oneness Pentecostals. Keep in mind that Oneness Pentecostals do not simply claim that the Trinity is an error. Quite often they declare that they are the true believers, and that speaking in tongues is required to prove one's faith...
