“When I proved it was a teaching of the RCC you throw in a little “yes” and redirect the subject to the Trinity.”
You must not have read what you quoted very well.
It was stated that the Trinity was present during the transfiguration. The Trinity is God and Jesus is the second person of the Trinity.
That is what I was agreeing with.
Again...no argument here.
The fact that He is also the Messiah does not exclude the fact that He is also part of the Trinity - it is not an “either” “or” situation.
“Are we to continue going around in circles while you first deny and/or belittle what I have posted and subsequently begrudgingly accept the truth of what I said while changing the subject and/or adding unrelated comments?”
I was only responding to what you posted and I agreed with it...I really don’t know what your problem is.
“I also am aware that less than 200 years ago I could have been executed for that “crime”.”
It was a tough time,and society was more brutal as a whole.
If you were suspected of dabbling in witchcraft the protestants would have burned you.
If the muslims had gotten a hole of you your head would have been chopped off.
There really aren’t too many groups who can claim innocence if you dig deep enough into history.
“Further, the Office of the Inquisition has never been abolished (the name has changed - function remains)and I am very pleased that no Christian Church exists today which is powerful enough to find me guilty of heresy and gleefully hand me over to the civil authorities to be killed while they stand back and wash their hands of the actual killing.”
You are being very dramatic. Whatever.
No one is executing anyone for heresy.
You asked me if I wanted you dead and I said “no”...so there you have it.
I see no need for further tit for tat sparring.
I am sometimes guilty of nitpicking and this is one of those times. Forgive me.
Blessings to you and yours.
