all heresies and cults start with a warped view, or rejection of the doctrine of the Trinity; the true nature of God. No one can judge a person's heart, but as far as doctrine goes, stepping outside the boundaries of the foundational doctrine of the Trinity distorts the divinity / nature of Christ and the heresy snowballs from there.
Not really.You are 100% correct as every false teaching goes back to a faulty view of God, His nature, character, attributes etc..... and included the 2 natures in Christ since He is one of the Trinity.

are we not "MADE" righteous by his death?It is important that we become righteous.
I didn't say a different view of Scripture , I said its knowing the real God verse one made up. There are numerous scriptures about false gods, idols, christs, teachers, prophets, gospel etc..............Not really.
A) it's a No True Scotsman argument.
B) there are plenty of theological disagreements that don't relate to this subject.
C) Dismissing somebody's entire relationship with Christ because they have a different interpretation of scriptures is ... honestly I find it to be ridiculous.
D) Don't even get me started on the heinous behavior I've seen folks commit in the name of "anti-cult". Remember how Christ ate with people despised by the "righteous" of His day. Let's not become the "righteous" of our day.
I'm sorry, but this approach almost always comes down to two people shouting at each other "you're not saved because you don't understand this verse" and trying to beat each other up by slamming different verses (or even the same verses) at each other.I didn't say a different view of Scripture , I said its knowing the real God verse one made up.

So there is the real Christ and there are many antichrists as per 1 and 2 John.
Agree :) preach the gospel and leave the saving up to Jesus.I'm sorry, but this approach almost always comes down to two people shouting at each other "you're not saved because you don't understand this verse" and trying to beat each other up by slamming different verses (or even the same verses) at each other.
Call me crazy, but I'd rather just spend my time preaching truth and living the two Great Commandments, rather than wasting it shouting "you're wrong!" at the top of my lungs.

Then let's stop with the "anti-cult" stuff, ok?Agree :) preach the gospel and leave the saving up to Jesus.
On the other hand no one is making you post in the trinity thread or the kenosis thread. I cannot not teach the Trinity or the Deity of Christ no more than you can stop believing what you do jane.Then let's stop with the "anti-cult" stuff, ok?
We most definitely are (Romans 5:19) and by His life; of living an obedient life in us and through us.are we not "MADE" righteous by his death?

101G The "Spiritual Saboteur"
Knowing Who He is, where He came from, and where He was going, that is, knowing that He is God the Son Who came in flesh like ours, this was the faith that as a man gave Him the endurance of His faithfulness, is what I think.Yes, but again, all the efficacy of Christ's life on earth had nothing to do with him being deity. You just added that as almost, a matter of fact - meaning, nothing that you stated was contingent upon him being God.
You're crazy!I'm sorry, but this approach almost always comes down to two people shouting at each other "you're not saved because you don't understand this verse" and trying to beat each other up by slamming different verses (or even the same verses) at each other.

Very powerful words said here......I wonder if folks really get what you said here....it's a miracle that Christ walked on water.....the human being, the Son of the Almighty, his Father created this miracle, not his Son for himself...Give the Father the glory indeed,,,.Amen and Amenits the opposite for me. a man walking on water is a miracle, the Almighty creator of all things walking on water, no one would think different.
Do you agree with the above ?
Why or why not?!
Yes His Person is the Divine Son - Nestorius was condemned for his view that He was 2 persons. Docetism, Eutychianism, and Apollinarianism differed on their views of the two natures of Christ, but they agreed upon the unity of His person. To put it another way regardless of how they viewed the human nature and its relationship to the divine nature, they taught that there was but one subject who acted when Christ acted. Christ is not two subjects or two persons as per Church Creeds.I disagree, for the simple reason that the head of the body is himself not trinitarian.
You strike me as someone who is knowledgeable about the doctrine of the Trinity. That being the case, I would like to ask you a question: Is it true that historical orthodox trinitarianism teaches us that Jesus is not a human person?

hope this helps !!!
the human nature was "TOOK ON", and he was not a "PARTAKER" of it. supportive scripture, Philippians 2:7 "But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:"o put it another way regardless of how they viewed the human nature and its relationship to the divine nature, they taught that there was but one subject who acted when Christ acted. Christ is not two subjects or two persons as per Church Creeds.
