You got that, right? Here's what your buddy just said.



So he identifies you as a heretic as well, but he hasn't called you out, only because you haven't been attacking him. Just wanted to make sure you knew.

Regarding HU, I don`t recall ever expressing an opinion on it. I would probably accept the term if it came down to it but I`m not 100% sure at this time.

And fact is, I`ve been attacking him although I don`t recall him calling me a heretic.

Of course the two of you can easily reconcile. All you have to do is concede that Christ was a created human soul. Any particular reason you won't concede this point?

Jesus isn`t a creation and I think JisY and I both agree on that. Jesus does say He is the beginning of the creation of God but that doesn`t mean same thing.

Divide ploy seems a little desperate there guy.

Why do you keep trying to put words in his mouth? Look at all the exchanges between the two of us where I mentioned "created human soul". Now count how many times he denied this charge. Oh that's right, he didn't.

Because that's the orthodox position. They insist that the soul placed within Christ's body was NOT the uncreated Son. God somehow merged a created human soul into the Trinity. (I provided an article earlier that confirms this understanding)

I just don't like hypocrisy. Wanted to see him react to you the same way he reacts to me.

I know a few things about his view of the Godhead so no, I didn`t put words in his mouth.

And, as I have told you a few times already. I gave you a chance to have me comment on these issues. You chose not to take it.

And to make matters worse, I had run out of things to say! Because he flat out ignores every objection sent in his direction! He doesn't care how many contradictions exist in his position! The result is that, 1000 posts deep, I had finally run out of ammunition!

As expected. You have identified not a single case where he explicitly denied the charge of a created human soul. Therefore you can stop putting words in his mouth.

How about you stopping with the false accusations.

Baloney. When I originally understood your words to signify HU, you IMMEDIATELY balked. Since then I never again associated you with the doctrine of created human soul.

And, yet,
(1) In probably 20 exchanges with him, he hasn't balked once.
(2) Unlike you, he has EXPLICITLY declared himself a defender of the hypostatic union, which doctrine DOES involve a created human soul.

So what's the false accusation?

Does the Father have a soul?
Does the Holy Spirit have a soul ?

Scripture is always on my side and opposes your HERETICAL Views of Christ

Matthew 26:38
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

next................

hope this helps !!!

Any end to your lies? Where did I deny that Christ had a soul? He did have a soul. Whose name is Yahweh, not some created human being.

@RickReads,

You saw what just happened there, right? In his last post he declined yet another opportunity to explicitly deny the charge of a created human soul. Are you ready to wake up and smell the coffee? Or is it going to take another 1050 posts before reality sets in?

I know for a fact that JisY doesn`t believe Jesus to be a creation. So I didn`t put words in his mouth as you falsely contend.

And I refrain from commenting on hypostatic union because I haven`t studied the idea to my satisfaction.
It`s not a term from the Bible so it doesn`t have much importance to me.

Too bad for you I guess, if I answered your post I would probably have to make up my mind on it eh?

No, not another 1050 posts. Yikes.

Ditto he makes things up all the time and I call him on it with scripture.

Oh trust me, post 850 blows away any traditional claims to immutability, with or without the theory of hypostatic union. So I couldn't care less whether you comment on HU.

Make things up? Sort of like the theory of adding a created human soul to the trinity - a claim nowhere mentioned in Scripture? That kind of thing?
