Why is your interpretation of the Bible right, and that of 1.3 billion Christians (and I'm only counting Catholics and Orthodox, though the vast majority of Protestants agree with us and not with you on this topic) alive right now, and the >1 billion who have gone before us, wrong?

Because they are all sheeple and believe anything the guy in the fishhat says...

Truth isn't decided by majority vote, but OTOH if you're a minority of one or two against billions spread out over 2000 years, you're probably wrong. In fact, you're probably way off in the high weeds.

If I am in a minority, there are at least 2 of us, me and God...

Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

If you can't figure out what that verse says, I'd say you shouldn't be on this forumn, or any forumn...Or you shoud stick to posting cartoons...They should never have let you out of elementary school...

LOL ... Many of them died for their witness to the truth. "Sheeple"? Far from it. They had courage most of us, you included, can only dream of, because their courage came straight from God.

For example, they would not dream of witnessing to Christ by anonymously insulting someone on the Internet the way you just insulted me.

As for Phillipians 2:6, I understand the verse just fine. Nowhere does it say Christ was not God, as you said it did. Read it in context: before the Incarnation, Christ had the form (appearance) of God; in the Incarnation, Christ took the form of a slave (human) and emptied himself.

Christ himself said before the Pharisees that he was eternal God when he said, "Before Abraham came to be, I AM". Paul said it, too, in the introduction to Hebrews, when he quotes the Father saying "Let all the angels of God worship him (Jesus)".

There are many other proofs of Christ's divinity. Any competent Bible scholar can show them to you.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
