Your understanding of "God" is not the same as Gregory's here. For him, "God" is divine nature, while "Man" corresponds to human nature. As God, Jesus knows everything, as Man he is finite.

The trinity

More of the same bullshit. Vespasian mocked this kind of runaround on his deathbed when he said, "I think I'm becoming a god."

That's a little unfair, DP. Rationalising away plot holes is something done by a bunch of people who get together, dress up in funny clothes and quote passages from their favourite work of fiction to each other - like these:
... oh.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
But would be Klingons don't demand blowjobs from boys.

Quote:Still waiting for you to explain how Jesus is "equal" to Yahweh given the Bible verses I quoted.Because Equality in the Eyes of the Jews who wrote these scriptures refers to the House as a whole in which power and authority is established, and not to the individual roles in which the members of said house part take. Meaning the Equality the three members of the God Head or trinity, share the roles and responsibility of what it means to be God. In otherworld the responsibility of God is divided equally amongst them. The Son and Spirit Freely submit to the Father and take on the roles they currently have. Your verses show this submission. Equality does not imply all three members have the same powers and authority. Where your problem lies is your taking the modern interpretation of the word and trying to directly apply it to a 2000+ year old text. This 'logic' "does not follow" The reason this was dismissed before was this conclusion was always tied to your mis reading of Isaiah, and even now as a stand alone question it has nothing to do with what is being taught here. Quote:*Sounds of hammering as I nail you down to that topic*When a man's only tool is a Hammer then everything begins to look like a nail.
So, you're saying that we shouldn't read the bible literally at all? Or only when you tell us not to do so?

Quote:Undeceived, myself or any Christian can not save anyone, that is the work of God, and if we do not try and witness here God will not send us to hell, we are doing the work that God has for us and I'm pretty sure that God has not let you in on what hat might be.I don't care whether I'm part of something or not, trust me, I won't send you to hell if you reject me. I'm not egomaniacal like your god. Its irrelevant in any case, but I'm curious to what your take on this is, so tell me, why has god not enlightened me on these matters? Or don't they matter at all?

Once again elohiym is a plural name for God. What part of this did you not understand in my statement, I mean really how could you have missed it. No, Christians would not support slavery in any way, as a matter of fact there are Christian groups working to help children pull out of sex slavery, that unbelievers around the world support, as a matter of fact slavery in one form or another is larger than any time in US history. All of today's slavery is supported by unbelievers, Christians around the world are working to put an end to it. So you see it is the unbelievers who have never let slavery die out, shame on the unbelieving. As for stoning children Christians have never practiced it, neither has the Jewish nation, I've explained this so many times I've given up on you all being able to comprehend, for some reason it just goes right over your heads, I find this to be puzzling since you all claim intelligence. I did not redefine God I used the scriptures to show you the truth, unlike yourself, just making claims with no Biblical support. I have used the definitions of the words as they were and are, as for one God yes scriptures teach this, they also teach that God is triune and I referred to some of those verses. Yes, I believe that the Bible is true from the first word to the last word. I see no reason to doubt it, and you will always have to deal with this as long as we have discussions. I do not change my mind because others do not see the truth. There is no way any religion can be older than the One who created all things, this is impossible.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
