“It’s two different interpretations of the Bible.”
And one is obviously false.
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.
Can you please interpret this scripture in such a way as to make it prove polytheism?
Good luck on that.
“I don’t accept either one.”
You are not Trinitarian? Or, maybe, you agree with him that the Trinity is not in the scripture? You’re going to need to be a lot more specific.
“I accept at face value that both of you are presenting your interpretations in good faith.”
His faith is that the UCG is the one true church of God on Earth, that there is more than one God, that human kind can join into the Godhead, that one must follow Jewish dietary and festival days, and that you and I are in a counterfeit Church, assuming you are not a member of his religion.
Is this a “good” faith or a “bad” one?
“Getting angry with me accomplishes nothing.”
Then you probably shouldn’t have started off your first post by claiming his position is based on the Bible, and then led your second one by suggesting you are indifferent to the heretics beneath you.
Get this straight. I am typing slowly. I do not subscribe to either of these two Bible interpretations. I never affirmed anything on this thread except that adherents of sola scriptura can come to differing conclusions.
