*sigh* seebs and ed you have something in common. You both leave out context.
Context doesn't have anything to do with the TRUTH that Jesus is a MAN and the FATHER is the ONLY true God. On the other hand, context has a lot to do with Jesus and the Father being ONE. Yet Trinitarians conveniently forget context when their interpretation favors their belief.
"Paul referred to Jesus as the MAN "
*chuckles* yes, because he was man and God. That's what incarnation is all about.
You haven't explained why Paul stated that for Christians like him and the Corinthians, there is ONLY ONE God and that is the FATHER.
Did Paul perhaps forget *chuckles* that the son was the incarnated God and FORGOT to mention him as 1/3 of the ONLY ONE God which is the Father? Would you consider the son as 1/3 of the Father LouisBooth *chuckles*?
"Was Jesus praying to himself or was He praying to God the father?
When approaching the scriptures logic and commonsence must be applied."
To answer the first question. No, he was praying to the father. They are seperate but one. Read up on trinity docterine.
That's why he Trinity doctrine is FALSE. How can two separate Gods be one God? I see one God on earth, praying to another God in heaven, yet you INSIST that there is ONLY ONE God! Whose leg are you pulling LouisBooth *chuckles*?
The second statement is very very false. Love isn't logical and doesn't go along with commonsence. Now when saying that you need to add the words HUMAN in front of logic and commonsence. For by your human standards no, God isn't logical, but he is logical.
The problem with talking with you LouisBooth is you always manage to skirt the issue. The issue is scriptures and you talk about love.
Of course, when talking about scriptures, we need logic and common sense. But, *chuckles* Trinitarians don't seem to have these.
Trinitarians profess BELIEF in the Bible and in Jesus. But when confronted with scriptures that contradict their FALSE Trinitarian belief, their logic and common sense fly out of the window.
How can one explain the logic behind the belief that Jesus is God when Jesus himself says that he is a MAN and the FATHER is the ONLY true God? Was Jesus lying? Trinitarians would say, no! Do Trinitarians BELIEVE in what Jesus says? Trinitarians invariably say, yes! Logic? *chuckles* no!
How can one explain the common sense behind the belief that Paul taught that Jesus is God when Paul himself says that Jesus is a MAN and for him, there is ONLY ONE God, the Father?
Common sense? Common sense is NOT common among Trinitarians!
