Re: The Trinity Thread (To be a merged thread)

Concerning Acts/Stephen, I would say you are connecting dots that aren’t there- best Go back and reread that and notice that God is God, and Stephen sees Jesus at the “right hand of”.

John- look...

Re: The Trinity Thread (To be a merged thread)

The church was formed- Acts was a history of that. A history of the gospel spoken, believed, and those believers formed the church. Through Paul’s letters we see the outworkings of this. Acts and...

Re: The forum went down

A few thoughts on the overall site:
I walked away from the LC in San Diego in 1986 after the “leading ones” sent out a letter declaring the “oneness” of the church with WL and LSM. John Smith had...

Re: The Trinity Thread (To be a merged thread)

And you don’t think it strange that the church started out in Acts- you know; gospel preached, people believed the gospel, Spirit witnessed to truth of the gospel, Paul writes such a letter as...

Re: The Trinity Thread (To be a merged thread)

You use the term “ the Bible says....”. If you consider Matt, Mark, Luke, Paul, James, Jude, this enigmatic writing found in John doesn’t seem to be the headliner topic. It was not at all preached...

Re: The Trinity Thread (To be a merged thread)

Christ was GIVEN the position by God and the authority to operate in that position..... until.

Re: The Trinity Thread (To be a merged thread)

Zeek, your use of symbolism alters the narrative presented in scripture and allows you to “ interpret” passages and come up with alternate scenarios.

The scripture does not give us a “God the...

Re: Origins of Christian God- Through Cultural, Historical, Anthropology le
