    Christians- How do you know Jesus and the Bible are true?

    I'll repeat myself:-- Can you explain what you mean by ‘believe in Him’? Do I believe that he was… a) a good man? b) a prophet? c) the Messiah? d) the Second Person of the Trinity? e) Savior? f) that He existed? What do you mean? (see #15)

    Christians- How do you know Jesus and the Bible are true?

    Can you explain what you mean by ‘believe in Him’? Do I believe that he was… a) a good man? b) a prophet? c) the Messiah? d) the Second Person of the Trinity? e) Savior? f) that He existed? The Bible is not one book. It is a collection of books, each with its own different types of...

    LOL! Sorry, Hammer, I just cannot see you as an obstacle to my Christian faith. That would be ridiculous.

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Of course not. Why would I consider that Sosthenes is God? :rolleyes:

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Jesus is God incarnate, Soapy. But both 3rdAngel and I do realize that you don’t understand this. Actually, not one of us is able to understand this, in the sense that we can understand facts like ‘water is wet’ or ‘78 + 7 = 85’ or ‘there is no such thing as a married bachelor’. It is a...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Soapy, I am interested in your use of the words you have capitalized. These words suggest that there is 'illegitimate' scripture. I wonder, can you identify what it is that makes Scripture illegitimate? A second question: I use the ESV translation. Do you consider this translation to be...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Let's see.... it seems that these verses are 'false' because they disagree with your non-Trinitarian beliefs, Soapy. Could it possibly be that it is your interpretation of these verses that is false?

    Questions that believers cannot answer

    So, when you and I offer different dictionary definitions of the word 'God', each of us is assuming that her/his preferred definition should apply to the other? Is this really what you are saying?

    Questions that believers cannot answer

    What’s weird is that you think I’m telling you what to believe. Merriam Webster Definition of GOD Fine. Did I suggest that it should apply to you?

    Another definition: "God : the supreme or ultimate reality: such as The Being perfect in power, wisdom, and goodness who is worshipped (as in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism) as creator and ruler of the universe"

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Soapy, you will never understand until you are given eyes to see the truth of the Hypostatic Union. In simplest terms, the hypostatic union is a reference to Jesus Christ as both God and man, fully divine and fully human. Hypostasis is the Greek word for subsistence (think: individual...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Nothing? I think not. You continually ignore the following, or blame the translators for the fact that they don't say what YOU want them to say.: John 1:14: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Severe punishment for those who see God as triune? Scriptural evidence please, Soapy? What lie? Please provide scriptural evidence for the nature of this lie. The dreaded double negative! ;):rolleyes: However, there IS no proof that Jesus is God. Is it too difficult for you to understand...

    Questions that believers cannot answer

    "What a God is" has nothing to do with individual standards. I'm with Anselm. I think it is true by definition that God is "a being than which none greater can be imagined". Does the word 'perfect' not (logically) fit?

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    Firstly, a word of advice, joel. Please stop with the “Oh wows” and the many unnecessary question marks and exclamation marks. It is very immature and lowers your credibility considerably. You sound like an overwrought teenager. Why do you need all these question marks anyway? As you can see...

    Is Jesus Christ the True God?

    I am not Roman Catholic. but I agree with the above completely.

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    I am never persuaded by a lie, Soapy. I cannot show scriptures which describe a ridiculous claim, but I can show some which show the hypostatic union. John 1:14: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace...
