Divinity as in equal partners with God. The example of Jesus is that of Adam. God created him for a purpose.By "divinity of Jesus" do you mean "Jesus is God" or "Jesus is God's son"?
I don't want to derail the thread to debate the trinity (though i am a believer), but as far as this thread just addressing the claim that "God had no son":
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
In the Bible Jesus tells us God gave him life. (John 5:26)
Did you know God also calls David his begotten son in the Bible? Israel is also his son.
As i said, there are over 90 verses that reject the divinity of Jesus in the Bible.
For instance God is all knowing. Why doesn't Jesus know the hour? (Mark 13:32)
Why does Jesus say "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? " (Matt 27:46)
If you don't want to derail I'm happy to take this private.
Like i said, there are Unitarians, including a few here. Clearly there is something wrong with the doctrine when those who claim Christianity reject the divinity of Jesus.
For me its simple. If they take their religion from the Bible they are Christian. I wasn't talking about Freeman anyway.Jahtruthers claim they aren't Christians
As I've pointed out to Tidal repeatedly. Half of Christians identify as Catholic.The reason i would call it a strawman argument is because many of us would never defend catholicism, yet we get lumped in with them.
Many from your sect probably won't defend it. This doesn't change the fact that they claim your religion.
If you put the shoe on the other foot you'll see they say you are not Christian.
So who is right here? If I'm asking you of course you are right and that's how bias works.
The Prophet of Islam (saw) said whoever emulates a group is one of them. So when the holidays are pagan in nature those who celebrate them become pagan. But we can disagree on this if you like.While i don't believe in celebrating the pagan "Christian" holidays, i don't believe people who do so are damned if their own conscience doesn't convict them of it. I certainly don't believe Christians are required to ohserve these days.
I actually see it alot. That might be your only example because we literally have like 20 people here.To ge honest, most of the threads that i've seen that appear to be Christians debating Christians usually involve either a catholic or jahtruther derailing them...
We are a fraction of a fraction of what is out there.
Still not trying to offend you. Just letting you know how i see it.Understood.
If you'd like to make this private, be my guest.
