I already am dealing with Trinitarians. Thanks for the offer though.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

What is the point in debating trinitarians? Are you trying to convince yourself of your position, or them? Through debate have you been able to persuade a trinitarian to your understanding of the Godhead?

I dialogue with trinitarians quite often, and we mutually agree that arguing over our respective view of the Godhead is futile. However, I do seem to plant small seeds of truth among my trinitarian friends, and I've laughed at how those seeds have begun to grow among them as they are starting to see clearly the mighty God in Christ.

Has debating trinitarians been reduced to sport, though? That is the looming sense in this thread.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

Eh, you have some good points about that. Whenever I am talking to Trinitarians about the Godhead, I am trying to explain my understanding to them. The most annoying thing to me is to be told how well I have explained the Trinity, and that they have never had it explained better. That just burns me up.

They may be saying that just to spite you and get under your skin.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

I might agree with you, if the fact was that it came from not differnent people who did not even know one another and were quite sincere. I tried not to let it show that I felt like a failure, but that is the way it works. However, since I have started using only the Bible for my argument, they have a much harder time misunderstanding and/or resisting me.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

That's the key right there! It's difficult to argue with the source of authority.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

It does have a way of shutting them down. I blew my best friend's mind one day when I told him that I was an Apostolic Pentecostal. He had no idea that the two terms were synonomous. I then explained that I am Pentecostal in experience and Apostolic in doctrine. He had never heard anything like that in his whole life.

No, he is not Oneness.

Lord willing tonight 11-16-2011 I will be hosting a voice active chat room at Paltalk.com. The name of the room will be "Oneness Invites Trinitarians For Discussion". It will not be a formal debate as Im sure more than one person from each camp will want to speak.

The format will be I will be presenting why I believe in Oneness. Anyone else may come to the mic and speak on the topic. There may be Arians, Unitarians, and Binitarians there as well. All will be given 4-5 minutes mic time each time they come to speak. I am exempt from this rule.

To participate one needs speakers so they can hear and a mic if they wish to speak. You would need to sign up on Paltalk.com which is free. Then go to room categories and click Religon and Spirituality then hit "Christian". There will be anywhere from 60-100 rooms open at any given time.

Go down the list of rooms until you see the room name click on it and you will be in the room. Sometimes just a few people come in and out other times it may turn into a large room.

Starting time will be around 5:30 pm EST. My name in the room will be Michael Gibson. The room will last until either there is no further interest or as long as my throat holds up.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

This particular page on Facebook is really more of a discussion page,than it a debate so much even if the word debate is used.It is moderated by folks on both sides of the issue.

I started not to go there myself,because these sort of things can get ugly.
But there are guidelines and these issues are discussed in a kind way.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

I ask everyone to be courteous in my Paltalk room. I am humiliated at times when Oneness believers name call and insult guests I have invited to be there for discussion. I do have a way to ban those on either side who refuse to be civil.

We can be strong without being rude:highfive

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

I wish that we had a way to 'like' another person's post because yours would get one from me, MD.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

Thanks Bro! :thumbsup

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

In my opinion, debates generate more heat than light.

I haven't gone to any of the oneness/trinity debates on facebook.

It is my experience on facebook that many "Apostolic" people are mean and nasty to anyone who disagrees with them (especially if the person considers himself Apostolic). I was part of an Apostolic Forum on facebook and withdrew after being called a "moron" and an "apostate" and people openly questioning my salvation. Hey, if Apostolics treat one another that way, how do they treat trinitarians?

P.S. I'm not talking about Steve Winter here. His words were even more vicious than the other Apostolic brethren.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

I dont push "debates". I do have a zeal for Biblical discussion. How else will those stuck in Trinitarianism find their way out? A man from England last night heard the true Oneness message and was quite positive about it. Some Oneness who have little to offer in the way of scriptural knowledge do come and use insults its pathetic.

Yet I see the attacks far more from the Trinitarian side. Sometimes I am the only Oneness in the room and get a good number of attacks. To their credit at times the Trins do show respect and courtesy. Last nights room was basically a small group of Oneness people. It was a good room people with a heart for more truth.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

Who is Steve Winters?

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

you don't really want to know...........

be glad you don't know him or haven't been a victim of his narrow minded hatred.......

but, he's not an example of all the folks who call themselves Jesus' Name or Apostolic........

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

sshh! he that must not be named...

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

You guys are driving me nuts with curiosity.

Did he used to post here (if that is a question that can be answered)?

I am just curious as I have the name sounds vaguely familiar, but I am certain that I have not encountered it before.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

don't wander into the chamber of secrets

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

Thanks so much (said with vast amounts of friendly sarcasm).

I suppose that I must check the members log to see if he was there. Hmmm. I think I shall be back shortly.

Hes the best Apostolic Guitarist in America today. He very much needs to learn about kindness tho!

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

Never mind, I thought I recognized the name. I hate forgetting what I posted just a few weeks ago. Eh, if I remember what I read properly he seasons his words with salt, and I am referring more to sea salt.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

if you really want to know google it Jay

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

No thanks, I remember some of the things that he said about the UPCI and the WPF, and while I disagree where the one is going and am in a church that belongs to the other, I could not abide his comments. I still have friends and family in the other org, and I refuse to partake in any bashing.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

course salt and some chillie peppers

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

I want to cry. :D

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

As I have read so far today, most of the questions are the same, just worded differently.

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

Awwwwww, don't cry. :tissue

Re: Oneness Debates On Facebook.
 

The mix of salt and chili peppers was agitating my stomach, making my nose run, and my eyes water. I did not feel very good. It needed some meat to go with it.

I think that this thread has just been subject to an illicit and hostile take over of functionality.
