Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.
The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.
The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.
In Trinitarian theology, the Son both died and was immortal simultaneously.
So we really have to say a small part of him died, but the person never died.
The fact that the New Testament never once says the one God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit should be quite alarming to a Trinitarian.
Yet most are not alarmed.
Why?
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence
If God can create, appoint, empower, resurrect, and exalt the Messiah, why would God’s use of a human mediator logically require the mediator to possess God’s own identity?
A majority of “Trinitarians” are modalists.
The minority are tritheist.
The remainder are incoherent.
The demons get it, why don’t the Trinitarians?
You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!
“Open to reason”. I wish more Trinitarians were.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
Good place to mention the “only a God man can mediate” teaching, but it isn’t there for some reason…
“Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.”
The Father is superior.
“It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior.”
“Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
Where does a New Testament author explicitly teach that Jesus must be God, rather than God's sinless, obedient, divinely appointed Messiah, in order for his death and resurrection to save humanity?
