Religious Cults & False Prophets~ Discussions and DebatesThe Nicolaitane DoctrineI was merely trying to inject some humour. If I was as quick to judge as you I could say Amadeus' analogy was a mockery of God. But I could discern Amadeus' intentions were sincere and I had a good laugh about it. On the other hand, if I were the one who posted that same analogy you probably would have responded the same way as you are here. Making out as if God suffers from a mental illness would not be acceptable if "hisway" dared to say it but it's O.K for Amadeus? Was it not you who criticized "Oneness" for making out like "God was schiznoid" some time back? Where is the name-calling in my statement you quoted above? And where were you when there was name-calling against me? I was called "hypocrite" recently on this thread. I have also been called "over-taken by seducing spirits" by Omega and worse. Or do your rules only apply to those who disagree with you? Indeed, and I have been posting about nothing but the historical teachings of Christianity throughout many threads. In fact, you criticized me for making historical references even on this very thread. What I believe as a Oneness Pentecostal goes back to Jesus and the Apostles and the early Church before Catholicism choked it out and history has proven it. As do I reject liberal views. I have been posting about the very fundamentals of the Christian faith - salvation, water baptism, Spirit baptism, the Godhead, and the name of Jesus. And what movement would that be? I know of a movement that got started around 325 AD that has led to the issues you stated above. Or are you above the posting rules to make such statements?
Indeed, for the first time we agree on something. But who are you to say Oneness Doctrine voids the teachings of God? I have as much a right as you to express what I believe on this forum. After all this is a "debate" forum. So what are you going to do? Delete all non-trinitarians because you disagree with what they believe? Wrong. I have raised numerous arguments and posted Scripture after Scripture on various threads as others have done as well that proved the validity of the Oneness postion which were avoided and side-stepped by it's opponents. And I ask again, what name-calling and to whom did I call it? I posted historical evidence that links the Nicolaitanes to the Catholic teachings of which the trinity is one of those teachings. On other threads I posted historical evidence that proves the trinity was a new doctrine introduced by the Catholics and imposed upon the early Church. The historical evidence supports the Biblical view I express. The one thing about historical evidence is that it cannot be wrangled over like Scripture. That is the reason you object to it because it weakens your arguments and stengthens mine. We can wrangle over Scripture until grass starts to grow on our knuckles but the weight of historical evidence is the impartial mediator that reveals who is "wrangling" and who is expressing the Truth. And the injection of some impartiality is what these debates need. |
