To a Biblical Unitarian, the Gethsemane prayer is a strong proof that Jesus and God are two distinct entities. If Jesus says, "Not my will, but yours," he is explicitly identifying two distinct "wills" and if there are two wills, there must be two separate centers of
Theology pro tip: if you have ever submitted your will to God's will, you are someone other than God.

Catholic bro really leaning on those other legs of the “stool”
@Catholic_bro Can we at least insist on grammatical translations? I know the bar is set low for Trinitarians, but c'mon.

There is something very odd not happening in the New Testament. There is no trace of any first century controversy about whether or not Jesus is the Almighty God or that God is “tri-personal.” The conduct of the Jews toward the disciples after Jesus’ death gives strong evidence
Sometimes what is not there is very revealing: the lack of early Trinity controversies. https://t.co/yCT9uIFiZK

I am looking forward to the debate between @mbird12 and @DaleTuggy on christology in March!
I like to think I've opened up a whole new theater of discussion about the making of early christology! https://t.co/vb74HqPZma

In traditional Trinitarian language, the one being of God consists of three persons, as expressed in the Greek noun "hypostasis." However, "hypostasis" does not mean "person" in the New Testament, nor in the Septuagint. I explore how the meaning of "hypostasis" changed over time

There is not a single UNAMBIGUOUS passage in the New Testament that states that Jesus created the moon and the stars and the beasts of the field and the fish of the sea. Jesus stated that the Father is the Possessor of heaven and earth (Matthew 11:25), and the earliest of
Scripture teaches unambiguously that Jesus is God—the God who made everything—and therefore, if he’s the God who made everything—that would be the Word who became flesh—then he himself is uncreated.

@InspiringPhilos WRECKED on double vocative “lord, lord” proving Jesus is YHWH. 💣 When Jesus says “not everyone who says to me “lord, lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven,” (Matthew 7:21) he’s being called the title kurios in Greek, which means ruler, owner, or master —

That’s not what faith is for… mystery mongering wastes and ruins faith.
@cfkiii72 Because He is a Holy Trinity. He is outside of time and space because He created time and space. There are things our humans minds can’t ever fully understand. That is where faith steps in.

Acts 3:26 states that "God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities." God and Jesus here are two separate entities, not one. If God raised Jesus from the dead, then Jesus is not God. Being raised from the dead BY
Death was proof that Jesus was human Resurrection was proof that He is God.

Paul's speech at Acts 13:16-41 is the longest text we have attributed to Paul outside of his letters. How does Paul seem to understand God and Jesus there? Not surprisingly, it's similar to what you find in all clear statements in his letters! It starts with God, who acted

The argument that “Unitarian Christology" will lead to idolatry (man-worship) is logically defective. Scripture itself authorizes high honor toward God’s appointed agent without collapsing into idolatry, precisely because the honor given to the agent is always constrained and
@UnitarianChrist Actually, for the sake of argument if Unitarianism is true, I’d like to argue ot leads to actual idolatry, like this guy saying we’re commanded to worship men

The problem with Molinism is that God chooses this word rather than another, with foreknowledge of every last detail, including the damnation of persons that are not damned in another world. Your salvation or damnation becomes an unfortunate byproduct of the particular world God
Should God have refrained from creation altogether? I think that the blessedness and happiness of those who would freely choose to believe in God should not be prevented by those who freely reject God’s love and His every effort to save them. https://t.co/GoPi6gQ6by

Good point
I’m sorry to ruin your day but the entire concept of a “time machine” is retarded. Location is never discussed. The sun is moving through space WHILE planets orbit. Go back 10yrs from current spot? You floating in space somewhere, insta-dead. Need time AND space machine. Sorry
