Trapped> "So God did not become Jesus who became the life-giving Spirit"

Trapped, this comment goes to the heart of the Christian faith and I propose to continue it in a new thread since this is about to be shut down. Through lack of skills on my part I only saw how to open a new thread in Introductions and Testimonies but this conversation fits neither of those definitions

I propose a frank and respectful conversation between us... by frank I mean we speak straightforwardly our agreements or disagreements without attributing motive, objecting to style differences, and allowing some liberty to bring in relevant aspects without the concern about wandering "off-topic" (it will happen but we can manage the thread together on that aspect). By respectful, I mean understanding that we each hold points of view, and some with conviction, and that we allow the expression of the viewpoint without disparaging each other with an agreed objective to present scriptural and reasoned arguments with a view to benefiting the understanding of each other and the reader... whether we ever come to agreement in this life.

I believe this meets with the original intent and spirit of the forum. However, I might have missed a change that occurred along the way since then.

Let me know if you are willing.

Thanks
Drake
