GarySpFc: "Your impotent and unholy Jesus makes about as much sense as Christian cannibalism."

And does that not tell you something important about the religious beliefs of our Founding Fathers, like George Washington, who always (or nearly always) refused to take communion?

Sir, you misunderstand if you think I reject Trinitarianism entirely.
I have posted here now many times that I think Trinitarianism is a reasonable interpretation, but not the only one, and that historically the earliest Christians did not believe Trinitarian ideas.
Yes, they believed in Christ's divinity/deity, but did not see Jesus as God Himself.
Clearly, Jesus' earliest followers were not particularly troubled by such transcendental issues as might concern highly educated Greek theologians.

I am here to defend those who tried to see Jesus as his earliest followers did, and to request forbearance and respect for them on Free Republic News/Activism threads.

Forbearance & respect...
*** You’re asking for forbearance & respect for pushing a heresy onto FR. Jesus didn’t have forbearance nor respect for false teachers, calling them “sons of satan”; so neither should we.
