I know that Papists have a hard time with the Inspired Word of God, but try to focus on what God has told us, not man’s tradition:

Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

Acts 5:31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

Acts 2:33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.

so, Gamecock, why does your group believe that Jesus is a lesser or messenger god to God the Father, much like Mercury was the messenger of Jupiter in the Roman Pantheon of gods?

This is not Christian.

I consider traditional Lutherans and Anglicans to be very close to orthodoxy, I consider all who worship together the One Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ as part of the ONE triune God as my fellow Christians. These include our Pentecostal,Methodist, BAptist, Presbyterian (like the Cumberland Presbyterian), Wesleyan etc. brothers

I will dispute and disagree with them, but they are still my Christian brothers and sisters, however, I do not consider brethren any non-Christian group that denies Christ as Lord, God and Savior, part of the ONE triune God.

Now I ask if your group's beliefs are Christian.

It's very strange that some groups like yours don't reveal anything about it's basic beliefs but hides behind shouts and insults. I've seen the left do the same... Tell us, what does your group believe in?

  1. Does your group believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

  2. Does your group believe in ONE Lord Jesus Christ, The Only Son of God, Eternally Begotten of the Father, begotten, not made, ONE in being with the Father, through whom all things was made

  3. Does your group believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son became incarnate in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, was born of a virgin through the Holy Spirit. That God truly became human in Jesus Christ.

  4. Does your group believe as we Christians do, that Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God or does your group believe that He was a spirit or ghost

  5. Does your group believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son was crucified, DIED and was buried or does your group believe that Jesus was not crucified or died, but was spirited away?

  6. Does your group believe that for our sake Jesus Christ our Lord, God and Savior rose again in fulfilment of the scriptures?

  7. Does your group believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son was crucified, DIED and was buried. And on the third day He rose again, ascended into heaven?

  8. Does your group believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life? Who is Lord and God and worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son?

I know that it is quite difficult for your group to actually read the Bible instead of excerpts, so your group would also say that Philippians 2:6 says Jesus didn't seek after equality with God. How does this square with belief in his divinity? -- which since this shows how your group rejects Christ's divinity, shows that your group does not have the right to call itself Protestant Christian (no more than do the Jehovah's Witnesses)

Furthermore, this attempt by your group to debase the divinity of Christ forgets that Paul is contrasting Christ and Adam -- Adam who was the image of God but not equal to Him, yet tried to be (Genesis 3:5), while Christ who was in the FORM of God and thus equal to God, yet surrendered this to take on human nature and die on the Cross (Philippians 2:7-8)

Jesus says it was NOT GIVEN to some to understand Gamer... they can not help it
