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.In Reality God is not Both the same and different substances, one is right, and the other wrong.
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, 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.
Teaching false doctrine leads people away from God.
Leading people away from God and reality is abominable in God's sight.
Judging other people and denying what they say they believe is not reality, unless you can prove they are lying.
Denying that they have a perfect understanding of reality is to be in the Beam / mote situation described by Jesus.
I freely admit that I do not fully comprehend the mind of God, Do you?
I state that I am following the light and truth that he has manifested in my life through his son Jesus Christ.
I testify that Jesus Christ is the son of God, that he Died for you and me to atone for our sins on the cross and was resurrected that all me may be reconciled to God and that the bands of death were broken by him.
Is this not the very meaning of the word Christian? someone who believes in and on Jesus Christ?

8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
