Good luck with that, troll. If you won’t take advice from people who have generated a typo then you’ve thrown out every single FReeper. But we all know that isn’t how things play out with you. You’re just trying to find some dig, some provocation to throw your troll shiite around. T4BTT

So far on this thread, only one or two. You too can be added if you want to call yourself a Christian. I doubt you do, so you’re in the clear, simply an anticonservative antichristian troll, but not necessarily a heretic.

T4BTT, troll.

***Oh my goodness, a typo. This must mean you can’t take advice from yourself. You’re really screwed now, troll.

I already answered the question, troll. Oh my goodness, that’s 2 mistakes in a row for you. You definitely won’t be taking advice from yourself, then. Doubly screwed troll.

Kevmo quoting from betty boop's posting on the Nicaean Creed: "So the Father is God, the Son is God,"

Kevmo "***And to deny that is heresy.
As the title of this thread says, Damnable Heresy."

You know, you have to be so careful on the internet in general, even on Free Republic, and even with a poster so obviously trust-worthy as Ms boop: take nothing for granted.

For example: reading Ms boop's post above (#2,001), you might suppose that what she had posted there is the actual Nicaean Creed.
It's not, it's an interpretation of the Creed, one which goes much further towards full-fledged trinitarianism than does the Creed itself.

If any are interested in scholarship, then you will be perhaps surprised to learn that full-fledged trinitarianism was not fully formed at Nicaea.
Instead it, ahem, "evolved", slowly, slowly over several centuries, until the Athenasian Creed of 500 AD.
Therefore, even Nicaea can be said, by Kevmo's exacting standards, to be "Damnable Heresy".

For examples, compared to the full-fledged Athenasian Creed (500 AD) Trinitarian "God-the-Father", at Nicaea it still retains it's comma: "God, the Father" reminding us that Jesus addressed God as his father: "abba".
None of the other Trinitarian terms "God the Son" or "God the Holy Ghost" or "trinity" itself appear at Nicaea.
Jesus is addressed as "of one being with the Father", but Nicaea doesn't yet give the Holy Ghost that same distinction:

Please, I'm not saying some form of trinitarianism isn't in Nicaea, only that the full-fledged Athenasian formulation of 500 AD has only partly "emerged" in Nicaea.

And if you doubt me on this, then please ask yourself: if the Nicaean Creed of 325 AD was fully complete, then why did they need another, the Athanasian Creed in 500 AD?

And if the Nicaean Creed is not fully complete in, for example, its acknowledgment of the Holy Ghost, then how is it not, in Kevmo's delightful term: "Damnable Heresy"?

I don’t need to look at something that happened 300 years later. The evidence for Jesus claiming equality with God is from the first century, not necessarily the 4th. But nice try, heretic.

Kevmo: "I came here to discuss historicity and you started “attributing thoughts and intentions” towards me that did not exist (I know my own thoughts & intentions)."

But FRiend, you behavior here has shown no interest -- zero, zip, nada -- in true historicity (i.e., Crossan), and every interest in imposing your theological orthodoxy on a simple history-buff, yours truly, BroJoeK.
So your true "thoughts and intentions" are made manifest in your behavior, and I have simply described those, factually.

Of course, your descriptions of my "thoughts and intentions" are utterly false and malicious.
As I've said from the beginning, my intention here is to defend the deistic-Unitarian Christian beliefs of our Freemason Founding Fathers.

So, if that drives poor Kevmo utterly insane, well then, I'm sorry about that.
Get help, get over it, punk.

I didn’t ask how many “on this thread”. I asked “how many”.

spirited irish: "On the other hand, the BroJoes of this world provide ample opportunity for penetrating analysis and exposure of vain, self-refuting, nihilistic thoughts, philosophies, theories, systems, etc. for the edification of truth-seekers."

I'll take your words here as being full-fledged approval of Kevmo's words and behavior, that Kevmo is doing your bidding, and your dirty-work, that you agree with everything he posts, and that anything I've said about Kevmo also applies to spirited irish, right?

In short, spirited irish and Kevmo are teaming up to fill the role of Dostoyevsky's Grand Inquisitor: to question and condemn to death anyone who doesn't meet their standards of religious orthodoxy.

Please, if that's not the case, then give us something to distinguish Kevmo's howling insanity from your own more reasonable ideas.

But FRiend, you behavior here has shown no interest
***But Heretic, the behavior came after putting up with a ton of horse shiite from you. First you were outed as one who is obviously idealogically driven. Now that you’ve been outed as a heretic, I don’t have to put up with it any more if I don’t want to. I see now you’ve attracted yet another troll to your troll brigade. Time to stop feeding the trolls. T4BTT

How many, Kev? What’s the cost of satisfying your quest for ideological purity?

condemn to death
***Wow, you really have a vivid imagination.

give us something to distinguish Kevmo’s howling insanity from your own more reasonable ideas.
***better yet, heretic, you should ask yourself what Christ would do when He realized he was dealing with a false teacher. He would call you a viper, a son of the devil. Harsh, I know. But Christ was still being Christlike when Did such things and you would label His behavior as “howling insanity”.

Your question doesn’t make sense. It presumes a quest for idealogical purity. I can understand why a troll like you, who doesn’t like my idealogy litmus matrix idea, to jump to such an unwarranted conclusion. The litmus matrix thing is so that others don’t have to drill down 700 posts just to realize they’re dealing with a specific-issue troll, or a libtard RINO. Here on this thread, once I realized I was dealing with a heretic there was no chance whatsoever of what you call ideological purity, so I’m doing what Jesus did when He came across false teachers.

Oh well, nice try, troll. Maybe you should go under the bridge for a while, you’re making too many mistakes.
