    Jesus is not YHVH

    members post removed.... replaced with the guidelines for this forum. Christian Theology is by definition the study of God through His word, the Bible. Apologetics goes hand in hand with theology as it is the branch of Christian theology which attempts to give a rational defense of the...

    “In Christ Jesus”

    OzSpen, Not what I want to believe. What I have learned to believe from one who to me is a very reliable source. Christian denominations are rather autonomous. Wouldn't you say? Depends. If they're following the Baptist Creed to the letter, they may well be following the wrong Lord. Can't...

    “In Christ Jesus”

    OzSpen, Because Christianity tells me I'm not a Christian. Or rather, the Lords of Christianity tell me so. I agree with it. From Jesus Christ. I was reading the Bible and was under his tutelage for some time before I contacted Christianity. That is, any Christian denomination. Things...

    “In Christ Jesus”

    OzSpen, As has yours. Different folks and different venues require different principles of communication. I WAS an Atheist. Might have reverted and been one again had I taken the Christian Lords as seriously as I take my Lord Jesus Christ. I'm not a Christian. I'm in Christ. If that means...

    “In Christ Jesus”

    Bar Elohim, Don't need Christianity or any institution thereof to do that. However one wishes to define it. Can be experienced in one's own home or in an open field. Even in the center of a city. People create their own limitations and liberations with their own mind. And reality remains reality.

    “In Christ Jesus”

    OzSpen, I'm not a Christian. Fundamentally, for most of Christianity, because I'm not a Trinitarian and can't in good conscience submit to Christian denominational Creeds or Christian denominational Lords, which especially presents that doctrine as quintessentially essential. Which in...

    “In Christ Jesus”

    Netchaplain, Why is this so hard? I'm not the one doing the judging. Unless you count taking issue with Christian denominationalism as judging. Unless you count taking issue with your OP in maintaining that to be in Christ is NOT the same as nor equal to being in Christianity. If I lacked...

    “In Christ Jesus”

    Netchaplain, Unfortunately, your excellent summary below didn't answer the question. Perhaps in this instance a simple yes or no would suffice. An excellent summary of the experience of being in Christ. If rightly understood. Alas, there's a lot of experiential confusion in Christianity...

    “In Christ Jesus”

    Netchaplain, Part 2 I was perusing your thread regarding legalism (The Legal Path). Found the comments therein to be both interesting and revealing. Christians tend toward a common human failing. That of emphasis. Balance is hard to find among them. And by balance, I don't mean compromise...

    “In Christ Jesus”

    Netchaplain, In this world, being a Christian is associated with Christianity. It's the box everyone (whether other religions, the secular world, or Christians themselves) has come to accept. One can't be a Christian outside of the chosen box. In spite of Fundamentalists who try to define it...

    What did God originally intend Christianity to be?

    “In Christ Jesus”

    Netchaplain, I appreciate your emphasis on unity in Christ. It's one of my chief concerns as one who has been denied Christian status by authoritative Christian Lords following authoritative Christian denominational Traditions and Creeds. Particularly over the quintessential essential doctrine...

    “In Christ Jesus”

    Netchaplain, Doubtful that Paul would confuse the issue through such an apparent use of synonyms. Nor would God who is ultimately the source of the Bible (an issue of sufficient complexity that it requires mentioning more than one or two verses), and as the source of the Bible had a definite...
