Jesus said only those who believe in him with have eternal life. All others perish which is to say they pass away completely and/or are destroyed. There would be nothing left of you that is alive and conscious to experience living eternally in hell. And living forever eternally will not be dry...

God tolerates a lot of things and makes a lot of decisions that may seem counterintuitive to us. Why did God place Adam near a dangerous tree in the first place? Why did God create the world fully omniscient of how things would turn out? We don't know exactly based on Scripture. We may need to...

And yet Jesus said the Father is the only true God. Words have meaning and Jesus was right wasn't he? Now that's rare for someone to actually try to spin it into Thomas being blessed. Thomas, one who hadn't seen, was not blessed for requiring evidence of Jesus' resurrection. Thomas was not...

And yet Jesus still plainly said the Father is the only true God. He didn't get it wrong did he? Peter and John didn't say Jesus is God in Acts 4:24-27. Thomas didn't say Jesus is God anywhere. With Isaiah I guess you are referring to Isaiah 9:6 but Isaiah didn't say Jesus is God there. Who...

And yet Jesus plainly taught the Father in your Trinity is the only true (singular) God. How do you account for there being no mention of the Son and Holy Spirit there? John 17 3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Me too, but what Pope St. Clement I said about the Phoenix doesn't belong in Christianity in my honest opinion.

Brilliant. The original bird is now dead and there's a new bird. So the Father died and Jesus died, but then Jesus was resurrected, yet it's a different Jesus? This is so much worse than I previously thought. Are you Catholic?

How is that co-equality if God the Father is doing His own thing while the Son doesn't get to decide?

Yes exactly like a Phoenix from paganism, an idol. Someone died then they resurrected themselves therefore they didn't die. Creates a problem for who or what the sin sacrifice is exactly in Trinitarianism. Did the Son of God die for sins? If so how? Would love to see someone from the other side...

I agree. The theological argument begins with a stated belief and then attaches verses to the belief for supporting evidence, but it's impossible to begin with verses and then attach the doctrine to it. Why? The doctrine is neither explained or described in the Bible. Jesus and the apostles...

The fact that Jesus is still a man is the elephant in the room after all of the debating is done. A man as God, even with the hypostatic union, is idolatry and yet the Bible makes no distinction between Jesus the human and Jesus the Son of God. The resolution is being offered, but very few seem...

John 3:16

I would offer you that it's more nuanced than that. According to Genesis, their sin did not have a direct effect on creation, but according to what is written it was God who initiated the curse that applied specifically to Adam, Eve, and the Earth. Nothing about this effecting the entire universe.

Yes. I have read Hebrews 1 before. Thank you. What were you looking at specifically?

Why do you think Jesus is the creator in either John 1 or Col 1? The grammar doesn't necessitate that God and Jesus be the same person in the easy-to-read version's production of 2 Peter 1:1. If you will look at the very next verse, it's clear that they are not the same person. 2 Peter 1 2...
