Trinity DebateWHAT DOES THE BIBLE THINK OF JESUSoops. maybe i'm too absolute in my remark. however, what (or who) are you talking about putting this "faith" in? in a creation of God? of course not. and if Christ be not Divine, then what's wrong with the Jehovah's witness stance or Mormon stance (on this particular issue of course)? i'm thinking of passages like John 5:22-23: 22Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. and Alistair Begg commenting on this verse says, "If it is actually impossible not to honor the Father except in the righteous honor of the Son, then those who claim to honor the Father without honoring the Son, do not honor the Father, therefore they must have spiritual power from somewhere. Where?" a Christian (by the least of definitions) means one who follows the teachings of Christ, and puts faith in Him for their salvation and atonement of their sins. well one of His teachings is that He is One with the Father (Divine). now keep in mind we're talking about whether a person can truly be called a Christian, not whether one is going to be saved as one. For as some theologians and philosophers like John Macarthur and C.S. Lewis have pointed out that there are prostitutes and other such people from the lowest modes of life that are actually closer to salvation than some of the highest of the “religious” elite. maybe i'm completely wrong here. |
