| May 20, 2021 at 23:56 | comment | added | Only True God | @SpiritRealmInvestigator My apologies - given the questions you've asked before about Biblical Unitarianism, I thought you would know that Biblical Unitarians are mostly united on 1 issue - that God is the Father, not Jesus. After that, there are all sorts of differences (as there are differences among Trinitarians on all sorts of issues). I don't see any reason why a Biblical Unitarian would think Jesus couldn't communicate verbally to someone. Whether someone's verbal experience is veridical is another question, of course. | |
| May 20, 2021 at 23:45 | comment | added | user50422 | @OneGodtheFather - (1) What about Acts 9:10-16 (question edited btw)? (2) If I were an expert on what BUs believe, I wouldn't have asked this question in the first place. (3) What's wrong with asking an empirical question? | |

| May 20, 2021 at 23:33 | comment | added | Only True God | Is there a specifically Biblical Unitarian interpretation of 2 Cor 12:8-9? I don't think so - did Jesus literally, verbally say something to Paul? Was it rather a definite sense which Paul translated into words? I don't know. Similarly, why would a Biblical Unitarian have a specific answer on whether Jesus would respond to a specific prayer with an unambiguous, verbal answer? Similarly, 4. is an empirical question, no? | |

| May 20, 2021 at 23:21 | comment | added | Only True God | The first one is pretty easy to answer. Why do you think there will be an answer to 2.-4. that is a Biblical Unitarian answer, though? | |
| May 20, 2021 at 23:19 | comment | added | steveowen | Unfortunately, 2 Timothy 4:3-4 has been true for some time - about 2000 years! (and 3:7) | |
| May 20, 2021 at 22:55 | comment | added | user50422 | @user47952 - "the prayer is already answered!" - Really? And what is the answer (in a few words)? | |
| May 20, 2021 at 22:50 | comment | added | steveowen | what is praying? Saying 'thank you Jesus' - is that praying? Of course it is. Why wouldn't this be normal for a Christian to acknowledge his life and victory? God's word is quite clear on who Jesus is - the prayer is already answered! | |
