“That Jesus is God or not isn’t a legitimate debate...It’s settled...”
Baloney. You would like that to be true. While I do not thinkthat people like you are blessed to realize the truth, there may be others reading this discussion who will benefit.
I urge all readers to investigate the matter themselves and listen to the testimony of the Holy Spirit in their hearts. Then, like Peter, you will know who Christ is.
Dr. W. R. Matthews, for many years Dean of St. Paul’s, London:
“. . . the doctrine of the Trinity . . . formed no part of the original message. St. Paul knew it not, and would have been unable to understand the meaning of the terms used in the theological formula on which the Church ultimately agreed” (God in Christian Thought and Experience, p.180).
Dr. W.R. Matthews: Born in 1881[6] he was educated at Wilson’s School and King’s College London. He was ordained in 1907[7] and was a curate at St Mary Abbots’ Kensington and St Peter’s Regent Square. After that he was a lecturer in and then a professor of theology at King’s College London.[8] From 1918 he was also Dean of the college.[9] In 1931 he became an Honorary Chaplain to the King[10] and Dean of Exeter.[11] Then in 1934 he became Dean of St Paul’s,[12] a post he held for 33 years. An author,[13] he died on 5 December 1973.
