    I still like him - glad he's around.

    As Gondy has clarified, he did not "acknowledge" anything - just presented it as an option.

    You are correct.

    No formally organised church that I know of accepts the raw Biblical statements regarding the nature of Logos and his relationship to the Father.
    The creed of 325 in itself does not conflict with the raw Biblical information, the later creeds do.

    No, I presented that as a potential explanation, in conjunction with another one.

    Only when dealing with extremists (wrt your religious adherence) like yourself on the subject.

    He can be a reasonable guy when discussing other topics, but whenever the conversation turns towards Christianity, he transforms into a raving nutter.
    Takes one to know one. And I suspect Sparko would say the same to you on the topic of covid.......

    Spencer argues well for reintroducing "creed" as the appropriate term for statements of belief.

    [intentional sarcasm: Oh of course how silly of me. I should realise that when you engage in behaviour defined as trolling [See the Urban Dictionary: "making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments ...with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction] you are not actually trolling but when other people make comments you do not agree with, or like, they are trolling.]

    I have to assume it's Dunning-Kruger. They think their experiences make them "experts", and therefore anything they believe about Christianity must necessarily be correct.

    The individual who accuses others of trolling is doing precisely the same thing. What probity is being demonstrated and by a moderator no less!
