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

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.

Don't be making stuff up now...I never said Jesus was not God...I have been pointing out there are not 3 persons and one substance, or 3 persons that make up one substance except that substance is a person...

They died for what they were told was the truth...A bit of a difference there...

I'm just following your lead...
