KWSS1976:
Very good point; we seem to have completely left the very basic ideas of Christianity. That scripture along with numerous others point to the fact that you MUST believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was risen from the dead (
Romans 8:34 and
I Corinthians 15:16-23)
I believe in our quest to denounce Trinitarians, Apostolics find themselves creating their own religious dogma, and because they do not understand the Godhead (see
John 1:18 and
John 16:28 and
I Timothy 6:14) they are caught
opposing the Word of God and blaspheming the very Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, that they claim has saved them.
Frankly, this seems to have started because of debates with Trinitarians from years ago and neglecting to read, meditate in the Word, praying for the understanding. Without a clear understanding of the mystery (
Ephesians 1:9,
Colossians 2:2), as to how they are one (
John 17), a person ends up as an infidel and unbeliever (
John 12:39), even as the Jews then could not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and that He rose from the dead (see
1 John 4:1-3).
