Biblical Languages 301 Guidelines
This is where we come to delve into the biblical text. Theology is not our foremost thought, but we realize it is something that will be dealt with in nearly every conversation. Feel free to use the original languages to make your point (meaning Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic). This is an exegetical discussion area, so please limit topics to purely biblical ones.
This is not the section for debates between theists and atheists. While a theistic viewpoint is not required for discussion in this area, discussion does presuppose a respect for the integrity of the Biblical text (or the willingness to accept such a presupposition for discussion purposes) and a respect for the integrity of the faith of others and a lack of an agenda to undermine the faith of others.

Originally posted by Unitarian101 View PostWell this is illogical. Your reasoning demands two Gods. But the bible says there is only one God. That is another reason why Jesus cannot be a Saviour exactly like the Father is Saviour.
There is only one God. Who is revealed in three distinct persons. Not three Gods.
That is what you get when you read the bible and accept what it says instead of trying to wiggle out from what it says.
When I first became a Christian I was doubtful of the Trinity, so I was determined to study it, and read the bible and accept what the bible said. It says that there is only one God and no other. One creator/savior/etc. Then it shows the Father is God and the Creator and so it Jesus (The Son) and so is the Holy Spirit. And we can see that Jesus is not the Father or the Holy Spirit (he prays to the Father and promises to send the Holy Spirit) so if all that is true, then the only conclusion is the Trinity.
That you don't accept it is obvious. I can only urge you to re-read the bible with an open mind.
At this point we just seem to be going in circles.

Originally posted by Same Hakeem View PostClaiming "The Son is fully God" and "The Holy Spirit is fully God" is not true because "NO ONE KNOWS that day and that hour not even the angels in heaven nor the Son BUT ONLY THE FATHER" according to Jesus in Matthew 24:36.
Jesus self-limited himself in order to be human. Part of that was limiting his knowledge in certain areas such as his second coming.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostHave this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross (Philippians 2:5-8).

Originally posted by Same Hakeem View PostYou claim the Holy Spirit but refuted by Jesus in Mathhew 24:36 that no one knows that hour and that day "BUT ONLY THE FATHER". Had the Holy Spirit been God the Holy Spirit must have known the hour but he did not because it is "ONLY THE FATHER" in Matthew 24:36.. . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV
. . . that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: . . . -- 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: . . . -- 1 John 5:1 KJV

Originally posted by 37818 View PostYou are hard of hearing. That Jesus explained, ". . . the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

And that Jesus who was sent by the Father (John 17:3) as such is our sole access to God (John 14:6).
ἀλλ' ἡμῖν εἷς θεὸς ὁ πατήρ, ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς αὐτόν,] καὶ εἷς κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, δι' οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς δι' αὐτοῦ
yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
1 Timothy 2:5,
εἷς γὰρ θεός, εἷς καὶ μεσίτης θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων, ἄνθρωπος Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς,
For one God, and one one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
John 17:3,
αὕτη δέ ἐστιν ἡ αἰώνιος ζωή, ἵνα γινώσκωσιν σὲ τὸν μόνον ἀληθινὸν θεὸν καὶ ὃν ἀπέστειλας Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν
and this is the eternal life, that they know you the only true God and the one whom you have sent Jesus Christ
