I'm glad to know that. Thanks for telling me.

I posted about that here: https://www.interfaith.org/community/threads/21915/#post-406838

Someone asked me in another thread what I think Jesus most wants people to know about, and I thought this would be the best place to try to explain it. It's that the best life that we can live is in seeing God in Him, and for that reason wanting to serve and obey Him and always be learning...

I'll try to explain if you'd like me to, but not in this thread. I'll see if I can find an existing thread for it.

I'm looking for people who think that it pleases God for us to serve and obey Jesus, and to always be learning together, with conscious e to live the way that He says to live. I'd like to have a conversation about possible ways of practicing and promoting that online.

I believed you when you said that there's no hostility in it. I agree that I've been disparaging people, and I'll try to do better.

Not only non-Christians. Maybe not any other non-Christians besides me. I've never seen or heard of any other non-Christian who believe that it pleases God for us to always be learning together to serve and obey Jesus and to learn to live the way He says to live. I thought that maybe there are...

No. I have seen people doing that, but not here, so I don't know why I said that.

Okay, thanks. I don't know what I could say that I haven't already said more than once, to clear up your misunderstanding of what I've been saying, and hoping to do. (later) All I can think of is to say what is not true in what you've said.

They are. All of that is what it *means* in the Trinity doctrine to say that the Father and the Son are not the same person.

One thing you might like to know is that no one has ever denied that all of the bishops at Nicaea in 325 agreed that the essence that makes the Father and Son one is not physical.

I want to share my thoughts about this with you as they come to mind. Some and maybe most of the creeds don't say "Jesus is God." They say that He is "consubstantial with the Father" or "of one essence with the Father." So when you see "Jesus is God" you can just substitute "is consubstantial...

I'll go ahead and tell you some of my thoughts about people saying that Jesus is God. I'll be looking again at the verses they use for that, but the two that come to my mind are in John 1 and in John 20:28-29. I'm thinking that maybe the reason you think that it's contrary to what the Bible...

If it matters to you, you're grievously misrepresenting what I've said, and I'm surprised and grieved by your personal hostility against me here.

I think that everything that God is in the world, is in Jesus. Is there something else besides that, that you mean when you say that Jesus is God? I don't think that the essence that makes them one is physical. Do you?

I might have some ideas about what to do about people saying that Jesus is God, or more like what not to do, if you're interested. :D

Do you mean like this? and this? I'm sure that all that is happening, and it does concern me as part of a larger problem, but I haven't studied Jewish or Muslim scriptures and spent time with Jews or Muslims, enough for me to have discussions about it with them. When I say that I'm not a...

That was just one of my ideas for what to do about what I'm concerned about in online discussions between Christians. As I've said before, I'm not posting as a Christian, but only as a person who thinks that it pleases God for us to always be learning together to serve and obey Jesus and to...

That looks to me like exactly what Jesus says, hear His words and do them. I'm grateful for you trying to help me. Thank you. I agree with all that. It looks like a wonderful plan to me, and a very good place to start, if we want to be channels of grace for God to guide people to the road of...

Thank you. Anything else? Any other ideas about what to about what I’m concerned about?
