You are so hung up on your church that you diminish Jesus.

I, a creature of Him, can diminish Him? Neato. I must be even more powerful than Lucifer, since not even Lucifer could diminish Him. Thanks for the kudos. Wanna worship me, since you have posted that I am so powerful that I can diminish Jesus. Wow.

For you, it’s all about the Pope and Mary and your church structure and “apostolic succession” and so on.

Have you even paid attention to my posts? What have I said about Mary or any of these other topics in my posts to you?

And absent all of this talk of yours is Jesus.

I thought that I made it clear that Jesus is the Head of the Church. Have you even paid attention to what I have said?

Seriously, eternity in heaven consists of RELATIONSHIP with Jesus

Chapter and verse, please. Come on, let's have it.

And yet you prefer to talk about your church structure than Jesus.

If you follow the thread, actually, you do.

May your eyes open one day to Jesus, who has reconciled us to the Father.

Ah, a subordinationist. Are you a Binarist as well?

Reconciled not so that we can defend our church structure, but so that we may enjoy fellowship with the Father in community with other Christ-followers.

A real subordinationist / binarist. Are you LDS or SDA, by the way? Have you ever paid attention to what Jesus actually told us about Heaven?

You’re making a big deal out of my proper use of “diminish”? It’s simply the antonym of “magnify,” a word found among other places in Psalm 34:3: “Oh, magnify the LORD with me,and let us exalt his name together.” No need to ridicule me for using the word, correctly.

Whoa! You don’t believe that eternity in heaven consists of relationship with Jesus? Seriously? Honestly? Have you heard of the Wedding Supper of the Lamb (see Revelation 19:9, for example). That’s a celebration of ... the very closest of relationships! I pray you’re in attendance.

You’re calling me a “subordinationist”? What are you talking about? Jesus has indeed reconciled us with the Father. Romans 5:11 says that “we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” 2 Cor. 5:18 explains that God has “reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.”

And you’re calling me “subordinationist” because I recount a clearly biblically defensible doctrine?

I’m not sure what you mean by “binarist.” And, no, I’m not LDS — I’m a Christ-follower who trusts that God has revealed Himself through Scripture.

I honestly do not understand your antagonism toward me, MarkBsnr. I want to promote Christ and you lash out at me in every way you can think. I support what I say with Scripture, and you simply attack me. Why such antagonism, MarkBsnr?
