Chaim ben Yaakov:
1... History refutes your view as no evidence exists that proves Trinitarians existed from 80-380 ACE.
Chaim, I believe that Rebecca has refuted this statement pretty handily, but even if it was the case that no evidence exists, it is hardly an outright refutation.
Chaim ben Yaakov:
Unitarians today refute your view that you think is clear.
Yes, and so do Muslims. I never said it was clear to everyone. I know that's not the case. But it's pretty clear to me. And that's good enough for me. ;
)
For argument's sake, would you be willing to tell me what you think, Chaim? If you accepted the authority of the New Testament, would you think the scripture references I've provided make a good case for establishing that Jesus is worthy of our worship? Or would you side with the Unitarians?
Remember - the premise here is that you accept the authority of the New Testament.
Chaim ben Yaakov:
The fact Jesus did not clearly teach this INCREDIBLY important doctrine refutes your view.
I don't think so. I think He realized that this was something that had to be revealed by the Holy Spirit. Recall His words in John 16:12ff. Any idea what "many things" He would have been referring to there?
Chaim ben Yaakov:
2. If you had lived 2000 years ago, believing Jesus was God, you would not have worshipped at his feet?
I think I addressed this question pretty well in a
previous post
. I don't really have anything to add.
Chaim ben Yaakov:
4. If the divinity of Jesus is essential to christian belief, how can you maintain that heretical or idolatrous christians are most likely in good hands with nothing to fear?
I said that I
might
draw this conclusion myself only if... well, please re-read
what I said
about them being in "good Hands".
Chaim ben Yaakov:
5... How can you expect faithful Jews to start worshipping a god our fathers never knew?
I don't. I expect "faithful Jews to start worshipping a god our fathers"...
knew intimately
.
Again, you're putting the cart before the horse. The very first thing that has to happen is a recognition of sin, and the need for atonement. To believe that you can go boldly before the Throne without atonement is a terrible mistake (
Leviticus 10
).
Peace
