This is the problem with both modalism and the idea that GOD is 3 separate persons. They both ignore scripture that contradicts their paradigm. And round and round we go...

What does this mean? We are to submit to one another, even elders to non-elders.

Has anyone defined what a person is yet?

The bible witnesses that Christ is the visible form of the invisible GOD. I would like for someone to show me in scripture where the father has the visible form of a person. Or the holy spirit for that matter.

Fact check For "[GOD] subjected all things under [Christ's] feet;" but when he says that all things have been subjected, it is plain that it excepts [GOD] who has subjected all things to [Christ]. But when all things are subjected to [Christ], then the son Himself also will be subjected to...

Many people have responded that Jesus spoke "through others" to say that pedophilia is a sin ... but the real question/statement was that Jesus HIMSELF said the following about the matter: x x x x x x x Nothing.

Many people have responded that Jesus spoke "through others" to say that child sacrifice and bestiality are sins ... but the real question/statement was that Jesus HIMSELF said the following about the matter: x x x x x x x Nothing.

Here's two verses that go together well I think Truly, all things are clean to the clean, but to the ones being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is clean, but even their mind and conscience has been defiled. They profess to know GOD, but by their works they deny Him, being abominable and...

There's really no reason for it except IMO to make merchandise of GOD's people. Turn them into a herd of captive domesticated animals to fleece or milk on a regular basis. Can't profit from animals you can't control.

I agree with just about everything you write as well. I've developed a lot of respect for your knowledge and understanding.

I get the feeling that sabbath keepers think that sabbaths make them holy.

Why would John choose to use an ambiguous word? If Jesus said again, then there is an unambiguous word for that (πάλιν). If he said from above what other Greek word could John have used than ἄνωθεν?

I think the idea that GOD is one person is just as bizarre and unscriptural as the idea that GOD is 3 persons is.

One thing I've noticed is that Sabbath keepers are consistently judgmental towards those who disagree with their beliefs. I personally believe that all days are holy and clean, and I don't care or judge what they believe and choose to do. But they always seem to want to judge and condemn those...

I like this one You heard that I said to you, I am going away, and I am coming again to you. If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I said, I am going to the Father; for My Father is greater than I. John 14:28

That's because sabbath observance is their righteousness, not Christ.

This reflects something going on in your head, not mine. I see sabbath observance as something ineffectual for working righteousness.

Two main things I glean from your comment: You love the sabbath You think people who don't observe the sabbath don't love GOD My conclusion is that your understanding of GOD is carnal. The purpose of sabbath observance was to know GOD. If people know GOD through the indwelling holy spirit...

I think another way of saying that is that it's to celebrate the beginning of a new creation.

What's odd about translating ἄνωθεν as again is that it is not used that way anywhere else in scripture (13 times in the NT; 23 times in the LXX) . It always means from above when referring to location, from the top when referring to objects, or from the start when referring to time. πάλιν is...
