These debates are about Christian faith and what each of us believe, so it is not out of line to ask this simple yes or no question in a supposedly Christian forum.

Even an I don’t know is at least an honest answer.

Metmom has no problem telling us Catholic’s how she feels about our beliefs.

She is also rather clear that she believes what scripture teaches. Question answered.

Metmom has on many occasions discussed her belief in the Trinity - that God is revealed in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. She has NEVER said anything that would cause someone to doubt her very orthodox understanding of the nature of God. She has defended the deity of Jesus Christ on threads many times. The problem with asking this question of one person - where it is not the subject being discussed - is that it acts as a personal challenge where you are daring someone to answer whatever you deem she must answer, or else you will imply she is a "heretic" if she doesn't answer.

It is a form of stalking and you and a few others have done it before. In fact, it is a common tactic used when there is no good rebuttal to what someone has stated. It goes back to her refusal to say what "denomination" she belonged to, and she chooses to not play along with the game. She has that right as does everyone else here and she shouldn't be harrassed with a question and answer game. Besides, if she is unable to log on to this thread due to other obligations, such a challenge sits out there unanswered and it is made to appear that she disagrees with the question's basis or is afraid to answer - which is definitely NOT the reason. You have been given this explanation before yet here you are throwing out the challenge again wording it like she had at one time denied the Trinity - which she never has and you have failed to ever produce proof she did.

I don't blame her a bit. The "game" is dishonest because, no matter how many times it is answered in thread after thread, it will be tossed out again as the heat is on to give a reply to a point you are unable to. Stop the games.

“These debates”...
Unfortunately, these ARE debates, which indicates that there are winners and losers.

That wouldn’t be so, if these were the “discussions” they are purported to be.

Friend, I do think that it would be a better choice to discontinue asking for an answer to your question.
