Kevmo: "Your reading is heretical.
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."

Total rubbish.
In fact, there is no evidence -- zero, zip, nada -- that any earliest Christian was a full-blown Trinitarian.
So, do you claim that Jesus rejected every Christian for the first three centuries?!

On even the simpler matter of Christ's deity, there is no evidence -- zero, zip, nada -- that any earliest Christian outside those "accursed" Gnostics believed Jesus was God Himself.

For comparison, I again refer you to the 2nd century Apostles' creed, which contains no hint of Trinitarianism.

The full blown Trinity doctrine did not develop until the time of Athanasius, well into the 4th century AD.
Indeed, serious evidence for that particular Creed does not appear until the 5th & 6th centuries.

So your claim that Jesus rejects all those who don't confess the Athanasian Creed flies in the face of all logic, FRiend.

I am here to ask your forbearance and respect for the Apostles' Creed.

***Baloney. And what you’re saying is pure heresy as well. There’s no reason to treat a false teacher like you with anything but contempt, even Jesus said you’re a son of satan. That’s pretty deep condemnation from the God of the universe, clad in flesh.

The Bible itself distinguishes between Jesus Christ and God the Father. Jesus Christ himself distinguishes between the two. Jesus’ Apostles also distinguish between Jesus the Christ and God.

Is there a note of irony when Bible-believing Christians reject the Bible’s doctrinal contraindication?
