ProScribe did this in post #10. Here is a snippet from his lengthy quote:

Unitarianism

Click to expand...

as a theology is the belief in the single personality of God, in contrast to the doctrine of the Trinity (three persons in one God).[1] It is the philosophy upon which the modern Unitarian movement was based, and, according to its proponents, is the original form of Christianity. Unitarian Christians believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, as found in the New Testament and other early Christian writings, and hold him up as an exemplar. Adhering to strict monotheism, they maintain that Jesus was a great man and a prophet of God, perhaps even a supernatural being, but not God himself. Unitarians believe in the moral authority, but not necessarily the divinity, of Jesus. Their theology is thus distinguishable from the theology of Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, mainline Protestant, and other Christian denominations which hold the Trinity doctrine as a core belief.

Unitarians are view as heretical by many Christian groups. They are tolerated, however, and there are Unitarian churches.

eudaimonia,

Apologies i didnt see that. Thanks for that.

Its interesting that they are deemed heretical by other people. All the prophets and messengers were deemed the same right from the time of Noah to Muhammed. May Allah bless the unitarians for their beliefs.

I would love to meet a unitarian and just discuss religion. Are there any unitarians here?

Bahauulah is was also deemed heretical by Muslims and was tortured for starting a new religion that was not Islam. Do you believe Allah blesses the Bahais for their beliefs as well?

I think Baha'i is a soft variant of Islam. They're not even real infidels.

"allah" no god, except He, the Living One, the Sustainer has sent down to you the Book, through the Truth, fulfilling the truth altogether manifest before Him, and sent to you the scriptures of the Jews and Christians and the Gospel. (3.2-3)

Here we see that "allah" is not god... and the Truth (ie Jesus) sent the Book (ie Holy Bible)

What about Christianity and Judaism? Do you consider them infidels

What evidence convinced you that the supernatural claims in the bible are in fact true?

Mundane request... the evidence is under your nose.

Question for Christians:
Have you personally ever been persecuted strictly because of your religion?

As opposed to... what? A supernatural request? :scratch:

Ah, proof positive of the divine

.

Seriously though, answering a question with "That's so obvious I'm not even going to go into specifics" (or something along those lines) is both incredibly patronising and misses the entire point: he wants you to give the evidence. Not some hand-waving, but specifics.

Question for Christians:

In the light of the fact that most of your religion seems to revolve around saving yourself by appealing to a blood sacrifice - do you think it is an exceptionally ethical religion?

Questions?

. . .

Why do you believe in a talking snake and that people lived till they were 900 years old? How do these things conform with reality?

I'd say Christians are. Jews, not so much. They're closer to heretics than infidels.

True.

The Orthodox Church being the One,Holy,Catholic,and Apostolic Church isn't a denomination.

The Orthodox Church along with Catholicism is a denomination of Christianity because the accept that Jesus sacrifice was sufficient for us to be forgiven of our sins. They don't agree with the tenets of other Christian Churches with the same core beliefs; that makes them a denomination of Christianity.

I've always wondered who Revelation 9, was talking about. I think this thread gave me a better understanding.
