I call you dishonest because you brought 116 to my attention as if it were a post of yours I intentionally ignored. When in fact it was cobbled together to address someone else's position on the trinity.
Actually, it was originally from post #108...
Quote:(sorry Dirch, but there's no "equality" here between the parts).
...which was a reference to post #1...
Quote:Three distinct separate but equals deities but only One God.
...which you acknowledged and spuriously dismissed in post #117...
Quote:Has been rightfully been found to be an invalid conclusion, to support your arguement.
...and I called on you to address that problem in #128...
Quote:Still waiting for you to explain how Jesus is "equal" to Yahweh given the Bible verses I quoted.
...and again in #131...
Quote:And STILL waiting for you to answer the other problem, how the Synoptics depict a Jesus subordinate to his father-god.
...and again in #135...
Quote:Any progress yet on the Synoptic verses I provided? Get back to me on that sometime, won't you?
...to which you responded in #136...
Quote:You mean the mess of miss-quotes of Isa and John?They weren't mis-quotes (I quoted directly) but let that go. Isaiah and John weren't from the Synoptic Gospels and they didn't address the problem of your assertions of "equality" contrasted with the Synoptic depictions.
As a Christian apologist, amateur or otherwise, I'm astonished you don't understand what the word "Synoptic" means. Given your behavior, I can only assume you were being evasive.
To be clear, since you seem to enjoy red herring evasion, we're done debating whether 3 deities = polytheism. I spent way too much time trying to educate you on that point. We're now on the "equality" part of your original assertion from the OP. How do you reconcile that assertion in light of the depiction of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels, using examples of verses I quoted.
*Sounds of hammering as I nail you down to that topic*
That was so made of win I felt like lighting a cigarette afterwards.
