Historically, Gnostics did not deny the deity of Christ, rather they insisted on it, to the exclusion of his humanity.
***Yes, there was so much early historical evidence that Jesus claimed to be God that it was easier to deny His humanity rather than His deity.
I am merely here to request that those who accept the New Testament words on Jesus
***Horse manure. You’ve been twisting history and scripture the entire time, heretic.
— i.e., our Founders, today’s “restorationists” —
***beautiful euphemism for “Heretics”
be treated with forbearance and respect, especially in a Free Republic News/Activism forum. Why is that too much to ask from GarySpFc?
***because it is too much to ask from God Himself, clad in human flesh. Jesus called false teachers like you ‘sons of satan’ but you would ask FReepers for their forbearance and respect. You ask more of FReepers than God expected of Himself. You are properly labelled a God damned heretic.
