May 31, 2021 at 22:23 | comment | added | steveowen | I disagree - context readily sorts that dilemma out. If we allow context to reign, trinitarian and other dogma proof-texts break down allowing the intended message to be read clearly. | |
May 31, 2021 at 21:26 | comment | added | user46876 | @user47952: Christ was, obviously, a man, and texts can lend themselves to more than one interpretation. | |
May 31, 2021 at 21:05 | comment | added | steveowen | That may be, but the definition of ‘Christian’ is to follow Christ, not men and their ideas. Therefore the exposure of that which is not genuinely Christian is of greater import - we should stick to the text. | |

" the Father has with him eternally, whom he begets timelessly before all ages, his only-begotten Son"- right there is his problem - this is simply made up from a vivid imagination, nothing more. | |
