A conversation w/ a religious man

This had the desired effect. Despite the miraculous and terrifying, you would think a person would be committed to holiness walking. Nope. Like all believers, it was a process. The acceptance SEALED me to God, but My lack of faithfullness could not be maintained and I forfieted the initial experiential closeness that the new believer recieves. Over time having the priviledge of NO religious learning- meaning my perceptions were not corrupted by humanity, I read the scriptures, having learned early that Man was not to be my teacher but God himself, is the teacher of the Saints. This answers the question as to WHY, my testimony and preaching are Gods Word specific, no interpretation, no opinion, no thoughts beyond reflections. This explains WHY, I am harsh against any Believer who through lack of commitment REMAINS Bible illiterate. This explains WHY I KNOW the truth of the Gospel, which differs from the denominations. .. As a Disciple, i am denied an opinion, or thought regarding truth. Truth IS truth, and is unalterable by human interpretation. I am first and foremost slave to God and Christ, and happily so. He IS ABOVE all that I hold dear . .. including myself, my wife and children. Greetings to all.
A conversation w/ a religious man

Much like my other ongoing posts w/ an atheist, i want to have a formal professional conversation , not a debate, w/ a man of faith. Again il be impartially nonbias. And again viewers can vote Pro if you feel he conveyed himself well. Moreover he can feel free to address the criticism he receives as we progress. Questions will vary each round but all relate to the question of belief. And again my MO is to gain various perspectives on god. R1 is acceptance and a brief introduction from Pro as to give an insight into why/how he became religious.
Jesus is not God

My opponent says that the Greek word for one is 'heis' and 'hice', and he contends that it means one in essence. The problem that he has in making this claim is that he will have to agree that when Jesus says that he, God, and the disciples are all one (John 17:-21-23), it must mean in essence, because the Greek word 'heis' is used in that instance also. Is my opponent willing to concede that there is in fact fifteen co equals in the Godhead? Using his argument that 'heis' means one in essence makes this conclusion inescapable. Differences Between God And Jesus The word 'trinity' never occurs in the Bible. One of the clearest summaries of the relationship between God and Jesus is found in 1 Tim. 2:5: "There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus". Reflection upon the highlighted words leads to the following conclusions:1. There being only one God, it is impossible that Jesus could be God; if the Father is God and Jesus is also God, then there are two Gods. "But to us there is but one God, the Father" (1 Cor. 8:6). 'God the Father' is therefore the only God. It is therefore impossible that there can be a separate being called 'God the Son', as the false doctrine of the trinity states. The Old Testament likewise portrays Yahweh, the one God, as the Father (Isa. 63:16; 64:8).2. In addition to this one God, there is the mediator, the man Christ Jesus - ". .. and one mediator. .. ". That word "and" indicates a difference between Christ and God.3. Christ being the "mediator" means that he is a go-between. A mediator between sinful man and sinless God (from the Christian worldview) cannot be sinless God Himself; it had to be a sinless man, of sinful human nature. "The man Christ Jesus" leaves us in no doubt as to the correctness of this explanation. Even though he was writing after the ascension of Jesus, Paul does not speak of "the God Christ Jesus". Several times we are reminded that "God is not a man" (Num. 23:19; Hos. 11:9); yet Christ was clearly "the son of man", as he is often called in the New Testament, "the man Christ Jesus". He was "the Son of the Highest" (Luke 1:32). God being "The Highest" indicates that only He has ultimate highness; Jesus being "the Son of the Highest" shows that he cannot have been God Himself in person. The very language of Father and Son which is used about God and Jesus, makes it obvious that they are not the same. While a son may have certain similarities to his father, he cannot be one and the same person, nor be as old as his father. In line with this, there are a number of obvious differences between God and Jesus, which clearly show that Jesus was not God himself:"God cannot be tempted" (James 1:13). Christ "was in all points tempted like as we are" (Heb. 4:15). God cannot die - He is immortal by nature (Ps. 90:2; 1 Tim. 6:16). Christ died for three days (Mt.12: 40; 16:21). God cannot be seen by men (1 Tim. 6:16; Ex. 33:20). Men saw Jesus and handled him (1 John 1:1 emphasizes this). For all of these reasons Jesus is very obviously NOT GOD. I await my opponents response. Reference; King James Version Bible (1984). Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.
Who is God??/

Yes, Jesus speaks as though he has a God. This is called Fuctional submission. This does not necessitate an ontological distinction. You have not shown that it does.John 1:3 "All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made." This does NOT say "All things were made through him, after he was made..." it says "without him was not anything made that was made." If he is a "made" thing, then this passage is wrong... because something was made without him.Phillipians 2:5-7 "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men." Jesus Christ was in the form of God, he has the same form and substance as God. Then, he willingly made himself nothing (voluntarily self restrained his divine attributs), to take the form of a servant. In essence, he gave up his divine claim on the Kingdom, in order to earn it for humanity as a human, so he could draw humans into that kingdom.Allow me to reiterate teh points that Pro was required to prove in order to fulfill burden of poof in this debate.A) The doctrine of the Trinity is a false doctrineB) This false doctrine was created by the Catholic ChurchC) The Catholic Church manipulated the written word of God to create this false TrinityMy opponent has not proven ANY of the assertions required to fulfill burden of proof. Normally I am apt to take a neutral stance at the end of a debate and allow my voters to draw their own conclusion, however in this debate it is so clear that I will state it. Pro has put forward such a poor effort in fulfilling his burden of proof, that this debate is clearly mine. Please vote accordingly.
Who is God??/

One just has to believe Jesus over men--- rev 3:12-- he stressed to all 4 times in one paragraph that he ( Jesus ) has a God--- There is no way Gods word teaches that-- God has a God. When he comes with the archangels voice is because it is his voice. He is the firstborn of all creation- All other things God created through him-God taught him everything-God gave him everything- he is the first and last directly created by God. He always subjects himself to God and does Gods will. If he were actually God- it would have all been his to start with-he would have known it all to start with. believe Jesus.

RF1) Prove this supposition. What is to say that YHWH is not simply the Father in the Trinity and the Son and Spirit were not revealed later in history? Furthermore we have the Word of the LORD (d'var YHWH) and the Spirit of the LORD (ruach YHWH) present in the OT. Both are worshiped and identied as God, so we have a full Trinity present throughout the Old Testament.RF2) Prove this supposition. As I said previously, calling the Father the one true God is speaking of is Nature.RF3) Really, history proves this? Which history... the 1600 (I'll be generous and say the 300s were still up in the air) years of Christian, Trinitarian history or 140 years of Jehovah's Witness anti-Trinitarian history? It sure seems like I have the historical account on my side of the discussion.RF4) Indeed they would not. Each one of these person worshiped YHWH, which as I established can be viewed as either the Father in the Trinity, or more probably as the Trinity itself. Abraham interacted with the Word of the LORD and called it YHWH without being corrected, he also interacted with the Spirit of the LORD and called it YHWH without being corrected. Others (especially the Prophets) identify the Word of the LORD and the Spirit of the LORD as YHWH without being corrected... it seems to me that the Word, the Spirit, and Elohim are all identified as YHWH... that's Word (Son... cf John 1:1), Spirit (Holy Spirit) and Elohim (Father) all being identified as YHWH... seems like we have 3 persons (Son, Spirit, Father) and one Nature (YHWH)... sounds like the Trinity to me.RF5) Again... this is called functional subordination. One person with a divine nature handing the kingdom to another person with a divine nature does not change their nature any more than me obeying my boss makes me less human.Again, my opponent is either unwilling or unable, I susupect unable, to prove his assertions. We are no closer to seeing him fulfill his burden of proof now than we were at the close of round 2.
Who is God??/

Truth = The Israelites served a single being mono God all throughout their history. Moses,David,Daniel,Abraham,Lot, Job,etc all served YHWH = a single being mono God-- They served the true God-- Also When Jesus attended the synagogues his first 30 years as a mortal man he was taught a single being mono God named YHWH-- He never refuted that teaching.-- These are all undeniable facts of history. Catholocism created a false trinity monster in their councils headed by a pagan king. The reason for the councils is because they didnt know truth. The greeks were refusing to revert to a religion with a single being mono God- so the trinity was created, and under the guise of being burned alive at the stake for heresy, the translators translated wrong meanings of greek words to english ( greek words had 4-5 different meanings ) to fit the false found council teachings. But the truth about who God actually is is still present in Gods written word, alls one has to do is listen to Jesus and Paul over the guy with the white collar. 1 Corinthians 8:6- There is one God to all the Father. ( he didnt say- father,son,holy spirit ) And Jesus taught John 17: 1-6-- While praying to the Father, Jesus called the Father- The only true God-- Then again at rev 3:12- Jesus stressed 4 times in 1 paragraph, to all who will listen to him- that he has a God- because it is truth- which makes this truth-- psalm 83:18-- Catholocism altered Gods word centuries ago and its been handed down from generation to generation and accepted without even being checked by most. fact 1) over 4000 years of the israelites serving the true God-never served a trinity God-including Moses,David,Solomon,Abraham,Job,Lot,Daniel, etc. They served the true God-YHWH fACT 2) Jesus was taught a single being mono God his 30 years attending the synagogues- He never refuted it but backed that God he was taught in his teachings--John 17:1-6-- The Father is the only true God. Also taught by the apostles as truth- i single being mono God-- 1 Corinthians 8:6-- There is one God to all the Father.-Same thing Jesus taught at John 17. fact 3) The whole reason for the councils was because catholocism didnt know truth. And history proves there is no trinity God. fact 4) The trinity scholars and teachers would have to tell all of their followers that- Moses,David,Solomon,Daniel,Job,Lot, and Abraham all served a false God because they did not serve the same God as them. And that they didnt know God. It is an undisputable fact that they served a single being mono God- any trinity scholar knows its fact. Fact 5) The trinity teaching of when Jesus went back to heaven would have to be this---God sat at Gods right hand. And this When Jesus hands back the kingdom after his millenial reign, and becomes subject to his God and Father- the trinities would actually be teaching this-- God handed back the kingdom to God and God became subject to his God. thus the trinity teaching must be that-- God has a God.

The story of Roxas was better than Sora's in 1.5 HD Remix

I'll start with some rebuttal because I have a lot to go through on Sora's story. Yeah, I guess Roxas' story is more sad, but that doesn't make it better. In fact, that makes it tonally inconsistent since his weapon is an over-sized key with a mickey mouse logo chained to it. Most of his story is actually pretty stupid if you've played 358/2. Most of the game is someone disappearing with Roxas moping about it for a full five days until they return and refuse to account for it. This happens multiple times, and the format gets really samey. The one time it looks like it'll break from this is when you visit Castle Oblivion. .. for a single cutscene. .. and then cut to two weeks later. It truly mirrors the games themselves; Roxas' story is a shallow spinoff of the original, just like the game he's in. Now Sora on the other hand; his story is much more about power, in all its forms. It's about power as a weapon; knowledge as power, and how these dynamics affect relationships. Sora's story begins with his rival Riku. Evenly matched and with the same prize in mind, (Kairi), Riku and Sora, once best friends, part ways when Riku decides to use the approaching darkness to tip the scales in his favour, unknowingly surrendering his keyblade to Sora. Sora's story is about learning to wield the power of the keyblade. He tests its ability and powers while learning his own, he begins to learn the limits of his powers, and then decides that with the key to all things in his possession, he can reject these limits. It's a much more interesting arch than Roxas' sob-story, and it matches the gameplay and levels; the Keyblade appears lighter as Sora unlocks new skills, what was once a heavy club becomes effortless to swing as he grows comfortable with the worlds. And as the limits of his strength approach in the story, the levels match that pressure, becoming darker and more threatening. Sora's tale is one with ups and downs, not backs and forths. If you want to introduce elements from 2.5, I'd be happy to. Until then, I'll see you next round. Duncan
The story of Roxas was better than Sora's in 1.5 HD Remix

Roxas was only alive for about a year only to go through hell in the organization and have his memories erased and implanted with new ones of Twilight Town. After killing and erasing one of his dearest friends Xion. All previous memories of Axel and Xion are gone until its too late and Roxas has to go back into Sora. Roxas never had the chance to meet his goals for bringing Xion back. But we'll have to see what happens in KH III to figure anything out.
Why I believe God is real and the catholic church is misinterpreted

There will always be non believers and believers of other religions and it's fine its based on personal belief you can't disprove or prove God is real that's how it's set up as a test on the human mind to see if you believe and accept limitations That basically make you not a bad person there are atheist with morals I'm friends with a lot of them people don't want to believe anymore and accept limitations unless they have a physical or mental sign of Gods existence only few do but miracles and the fact that Catholicism was created by Christ making Peter the 1st pope(after Jesus technically) women were not given that power doesn't mean they can't do it the power was never given so the church can't say that women can be priest and gays aren't hated by the church so ask questions in comments I'll answer Nobody is perfect not on earth.

Whaling

Concluding Arguments: Minke whales and Fin whales are not in any danger of extinction, and comprise virtually all the commercial whaling market. It is possible to kill whales humanely, and is proven the norm in Norway and Faroe Islands. Whaling provides jobs to about a thousand, and work/money to thousands more, maintaining ships, processing/transporting meat, etc. It is more environmentally destructive, per kilogram of meat produced, to raise livestock on land than to hunt whales in the sea. Whaling must not be held to a double standard of profitability, animal welfare, and other aspects that say, hunting in the US does not fulfill. Relatively few Americans hunt game, but this is not seen by the US government as grounds to ban it. :)
