    The Only Problem With The Trinity

    Your Encyclopedia quote is irrelevant, moreover it doesn't even say what you think it says. I do not care for the opinions of men but of God, who alone is good. So that whole bit is irrelevant. My position: the Bible teaches it, the Apostles teach it, the Church has always worshipped the Father...

    "I quite like males with earrings": a low-key, respectful discussion

    I picked "yes," while I wouldn't say it's a preference (and I myself don't have any piercings) I am fine with it and even think it looks extremely cool. A couple of ancient depictions of men with earrings: And of course the famous Shakespeare earring: All of these images show it can be...

    The Only Problem With The Trinity

    It's simple: He is eternally begotten. There is a logical order and something which "precedes" and is called cause in the Trinity. The Father is Unbegotten and does not Proceed. The Son is Begotten of the Father in eternity. The Spirit is not Begotten but Proceeds from the Father through the...

    Jesus Is God: Part 1

    Not grasping a concept, not having something yet revealed to you, and denying God's revelation are different things. Moreover I do not agree that all did not grasp it then. Concerning Genesis 18:1-3 St. Augustine says: "Do you see that Abraham Three but bows down to One... Having beheld Three...

    Please give me your honest reaction to this song/ video.

    It fits the aesthetic perfectly.

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    Nah, nothing like that has happened to me yet. I also don't usually talk to many people so that probably explains it.

    Please give me your honest reaction to this song/ video.

    Honest first reaction that came to my head: perverse American redneck Christianity, but it sounds pretty cool. I like her voice and the sound of his voice together. They should make more songs. Preferably about other things but yeah it sounds cool.

    Jesus Is God: Part 1

    Saying that something is and comprehending what it is are two different things, so it is not a contradiction. It's like (I am not good with examples so hopefully you get it) if you hear something moving in the woods, you know that it is without yet knowing what it is in itself. So there is a...

    Jesus Is God: Part 1

    It depends on how you define "mystery." God in His nature is a mystery because He can not be wholly comprehended by human minds (for to be comprehended, like you can comprehend what a chair is, is a form a limitation, and would also mean He is not infinite). So to one degree or another all...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    1) Define an indication of inspiration, for the Song of Songs does not even mention God in it as far as I know, and definitely does not include "thus says the Lord." 2) The prologue of St. Luke's Gospel says that it seemed best to him to make an orderly account, yet the whole of that Gospel and...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    1) The number one is not the number three, we are in agreement, and the Trinity does not make anyone hold that "1 is 3." Amen. 2) Jesus didn't father Himself and the Holy Spirit didn't father Jesus, and Jesus truly had the Father as His Father. Him not truly having a Father wouldn't make sense...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    Demonstrate the contradiction in the Trinity. I already know you'll be unable to, but it would be interesting to see what you think is a contradiction in it.

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    Yahweh/Jehovah is not a name for the Father but for the Godhead as a whole, it is just a descriptive title "He Who Is and Who Shall Be" and the like, for which all the Persons of the Trinity are in true. The Persons of the Trinity in the light of the New Testament are also at times distinguished...

    Jesus Is God: Part 1

    God did say it, and the label if it is filled with grace and love is important for it means one follows Christ, which includes adhering to His doctrines. All non-Trinitarians are not lost, even people who do not know Jesus at all can be saved. I have witnessed the salvation of a non-Trinitarian...

    Wheat and tares. The Lord has patience for it and so shall His servants.

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    You indeed are wrong entirely about Roman Catholicism. I have no idea what any Catholics told you but nothing you have said has anything at all to do with it.

    Jesus Is God: Part 2

    This argument from the anti-Christian is a bit better but still fails, for while it is true that many may be called "god" in a broad sense in the Hebrew/Greek Scriptures and beyond, the context ultimately determines what St. Thomas meant here: one of the main points of St. John's Gospel is that...

    Jesus Is God: Part 1

    Non-Trinitarians aren't even Christians so it is no wonder they do such things to the text. There are two main problems I see with this guys argument, firstly as if some non-biased reading exists, he has access to it, or that it would justify his views. Secondly saying that we hold to a...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    So in other words: you have no citations, you can not prove your claims, and you will continue to make your claims despite this. This is willful ignorance, an abuse of God-given rationality, and lying. God bless. As for disproving all you've said, you're the one who made the claims, but you can...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    So isolating the message to these five main claims, you have still not yet proven your position. A1) Define what the "Roman Catholic" religion is firstly and what they believe. Where are these beliefs recorded? Can you cite them? Secondly, the "Pope" is just the Bishop of Rome, there are also...
