Can't the argument be made for hinduism being monotheistic in that case, they're all aspects of one, supreme god...?
It's not monotheistic if you have a) a Three part god and b) A supreme being of evil.
I thought revelations said it was 7 aspects or spirits or something somewhere.
2nd page of thread, "Jesus nailed the human condition" a pun?
"When I make bold assertions I am asked to provide evidence to support them, I'd expect you to do the same."
vs
"God was consistent in His revelation, scripture is God’s revelation and it is available for anyone who wants to read it. "
The bible is consistent? HA! thread should have been over on page 2.
Also: "Scripture is God's revelation" Evidence?
The bible is consistent? What happened to judas after the betrayal? Where was jesus born? When? Who was told by angels? When was he crucified? Who found the tomb (hint, different gospels will have different answers. These are fundamental parts of the story of jesus!)? The creation story, the great flood, which left tones of evide- oh wait. Honour you're mother and father vs hate your mother and father. Thou shalt not X. Go and Do X. Omnibenevolence vs Yahweh the Malevolent's kill count (and Isiah 45:7) Omnibenevolence vs all the other atrocities condoned/comitted by Yahweh the malevolent. Satan = evil vs Satan's kill count. God and Satan being enemies vs being competitive, but cordial, in job. Children being guilty of the sins of their father. God sacrificing himself, in the form of his son, who was himself, who, as the father, he conceived with a young woman, after telling this plan to a)Mary, b)Joesph, through an angel (Would have been too awkward to deliver the news personally I guess), to himself, in order to appease himself, for a) a (entirely metaphorical?) crime that, being omniscient, he knew would happen and set to happen in the first place, or b) for shits n giggles; so that a loophole could be created, by himself, in a law that he himself created, that stated that nobody could get into heaven unless this loophole was created? How many animals on the ark?
Your god is a bloodthirsty tyrant, a despicable monster who is worthy of no worship. His holy book is inconsistent dribble. His followers can't agree on even the simplest things, despite 'divine' revelation. The attributes associated with him are inconsistent with his portrayal in his book, and with each other. But ah well, if judges 1:19 is to be believed (and it is apparently) he's no threat, lets see how he likes our 'chariots of iron' in the year 2011!
Are you implying that those two WEREN'T Christians? http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/5b28/1 his bio. PRESIDENT OF THE BAPTIST UNION OF NZ! /facepalm
on the other guy: well I type his full name into google and conservapedia is the seccond website listed, this should be good...

Yes because these guys are really Christian Apologists…
“"Luke is a historian of the first rank; not merely are his statements of fact trustworthy, [he] should be placed along with the very greatest of historians."
- Sir William Ramsey, World Renown Archeologist
“"For accuracy of detail, and for evocation of atmosphere, Luke stands, in fact, with Thucydides. The Acts of the Apostles is not shoddy product of pious imagining, but a trustworthy record...it was the spadework of archaeology which first revealed the truth."
- E.M. Blaiklock, Professor of classics at Auckland University
So stop pretending like it is only Christians who value the accounts written by the historian Luke.
