    Well, Jesus did make that claim. As a result, you are left to think him a liar and a fraud. In so doing, you place yourself outside of Christianity. Is that the position you normally take when you're involved in discussions like this one? Uh, no. I see that your profile shows that you label...

    Unitarian

    (y) Exactly what I thought when our friend insisted that the Trinitarian belief is that the Father and the Son or the Holy Ghost are "equal." Not enough understanding of this Christian belief and the Bible's testimony for him to be inviting a debate about it.

    In Genesis,

    I'm sure you will, but it looks to me not to be much different from people who say approximately the same thing when referring to baptisms with water but not by total immersion, or when others contemplate the Bible's account of Jesus having died but then being described in some detail as having...

    Is reincarnation real?

    Isn't it in the nature of Unitarianism that the member is basically free to believe whatever he chooses to believe?

    Unitarian

    He's correct about this. You are mistaken about the matter. Jesus also claimed that he was God, so how does that square with your various references to him asserting that he was a human?

    Why are so many catholic priests pedophiles?

    Do you have an answer to the question, though? What specifics would cause you to assert that the Catholic Church "has cleaned up its act?"

    Why are so many catholic priests pedophiles?

    The Church has responded to the many lawsuits by selling off a lot of its property in order to raise the money necessary to meet those judgments, and she has also denounced wrongdoing itself, but what exactly do you have in mind when saying that "The Catholic Church has cleaned up its act?" What...

    OT prayers compared to Jesus' prayer

    I gave my answer and then defended it when you asked for an example. Now it's someone else's turn. .

    OT prayers compared to Jesus' prayer

    Okay. It's not a hard and fast, "either-or" change, but that is the direction in which this moved. No, not at all. But you are free to give your own answer to the question posed by the Original Post, just like everyone else here.

    Pro-life supporters question:

    This issue has come up now in more than one post, and it seems strange to me. After all, "pro-life" is not supposed to be a scientific term. It's a political slogan! The nature of political slogans--for example "reproductive health" and "transphobia" --is to claim the high ground in debate...

    OT prayers compared to Jesus' prayer

    "Spiritual" of course can have a wide range of meanings, and I hoped that you would recognize what was being referred to there and in the rest of the post. Also, the comparison of OT with NT verses about prayer is not absolute. It is a development that I was referring to. For instance, here are...

    OT prayers compared to Jesus' prayer

    There are a number of differences, but the most apparent one is probably that Old Testament prayers were mainly about having God make Earthly changes possible for the persons doing the praying. By contrast, the New Testament prayers are more familial and spiritual. This is not entirely...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    As the part you didn't highlight makes clear, Paul is not speaking to people in general but to Christians, people who were already believers, who had come to Christ by FAITH.

    Someone in your denomination who believes differently?

    ...and there's a big difference between being excommunicated and being declared a heretic.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Grace that's NOT through faith, in other words.

    Someone in your denomination who believes differently?

    The Original Post spoke of them disagreeing with the church's understanding of a Biblical teaching. And I added my own caution to my replies by saying it matters whether the disagreement concerned an essential doctrine or just something that's in the Bible but isn't a must-believe doctrine, such...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I noticed this before, but it looks like where you started to go wrong was in thinking that the standards of the Old Testament, as given to the Hebrew people, remained the same for all humans forevermore. This makes Christ (whom you try to shoehorn into the OT Law after the fact) and his...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    That's the standard Protestant position on the matter. However, it doesn't address your own theory by which Faith is made to be insignificant or pointless. None of that ^ accurately describes the role of Faith as it's taught in the Bible and in almost every Christian church.

    Pro-life supporters question:

    I'd think that all of us already realize that the issue has some complications built into it. In my post I agreed that it does. However, when someone goes out of his way to highlight a particular one, it's fair to conclude that the speaker considers that one to be a significant problem area...

    Someone in your denomination who believes differently?

    Well, the point there was that saying "to each his own" is saying there's nothing wrong with the members of a church that has a particular view concerning divine revelation holding all sorts of different beliefs about it. Naturally, not everyone can be correct when contrasting and mutually...
