You view the scriptures through Nicene Creed glasses.

If you could take them off objectively look anew at the scriptures seeking guidance from God, you would discover that the scriptures testify that Jesus Christ is the literal Son of God the Father.

Christ did not play ventrilloquist at his baptism!

Christ did not pray to himself on Gethsamene!

Christ did not abandon himself on the Cross at Calvary!

Sorry, your very good, but i have to go to bed. I like your knowlege, however, I believe that you have been conditioned to conforming the scriptures to the Nicene Creed rather than seeking Gods simple truths.

“You view the scriptures through Nicene Creed glasses.”


I had never even read the Nicene Creed when I first began to study the Bible, and read what it plainly said.

Please don’t start insulting me, and deal with facts only.

“If you could take them off objectively look anew at the scriptures seeking guidance from God, you would discover that the scriptures testify that Jesus Christ is the literal Son of God the Father.”


God is Spirit, and therefore there is no such thing as the deity having sex and giving birth:

Joh_4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

There’s also only one God, so there is no mother goddess for God to get it on with:

Isa_44:8 ... Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

God is, by definition, also eternal. He is the First cause, unchangeable, having existence in and of Himself:

Isa_41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Isa_44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Note especially the phrase “The First and the Last”. Here is Christ calling Himself the First and the Last:

Rev_1:17 ... Fear not; I am the first and the last:

Rev_1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Notice it is not the “second to first” and the “second to last”. It is the same title as God uses in the Old Testament.

If you’re going to insult me as having “Nicene” glasses, you’re going to have to do a lot better than claiming that the Catholics managed to edit the over 5,000 Greek Manuscripts of the New Testament discovered over the past 2,000 years, not counting the ones in the Syriac and other languages, all supporting the scriptures that we have today.

Provide evidence for your claims, do not spam and then insult me as too deluded to see your conspiracies.

You refuse to ask God for the simple truths as taught plainly in the scripture. You should get started with that.
