I Said: If one is right, the other is abominable, which is why you think what we believe is abominable......

You Said: More bad logic.

One. We don't think one is abominable - but just WRONG.


So, you believe that being wrong about God is not abominable? Got it.

You Said: Two. The ideas after the THENS in your statements: where do they come from?

First, the Word "THEN does not appear anywhere in My Post

Second I never try to draw a conclusion, but leave the logic (obvious as it is) to the reader. I do say the If's are just not possible. Then I engage in logic in the form of "Since X is true, Y must also be true". I have stated that you are free to disagree, but not to tell me I can't believe.

Let me make it simple:
If God and Christ are in reality not of the same substance, then teaching that they are obscures the scriptures and keeps people from becoming like Jesus.

If God and Christ are in reality of the same substance, then teaching that they are not obscures the scriptures and keeps people from becoming like God.

If one is right, (then implied) the other is abominable, which is why you think what we believe is abominable, and I'm OK with that, what you believe, I think is abominable, But, I still think you are a Christian, and I believe you are sincere in your misunderstanding of the scriptures. I wold be fine with you saying the same thing about me, but your side keeps trying to say i am not a "Christian" because I believe a doctrine you don't.

As I have told many:
"Reality Is. Our job is to get our perspective as close as we can to reality, thus we avoid pain, and come closer to God, who is the only one whose perspective and reality are the same thing. Like the Chinese, I shorten this to two words to express to people who know my philosophy. "Reality Is."

Elsie, Reality Is.

What!!!???

 

Now you can't even read your OWN words!!!

 

DU, are you channeling SOMEone else?



Second I never try to draw a conclusion, but leave the logic (obvious as it is) to the reader.

When the logic statement says... 

If  X or Y then Z

...and you've supplied the Z, then, you HAVE drawn a conclusion by limiting the range of answers that could fit the critiria.
