        <description><![CDATA[<p>In the CD forums, posts come from all angles and expressions: from the sublimed to the ridiculous. One is Christianity. You ask, how could this be? Several posters, namely <a href="https://www.christiandiscourse.net/profile/BroRando" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc"> @BroRando</a>, <a href="https://www.christiandiscourse.net/profile/Bill_Coley" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc"> @Bill_Coley</a>, JWs Organization, and recently departed Wolfgang, to name a few, claims to accept the "inspiration" of the Bible, Jesus as Lord, Messiah, pray to Him and look to Him for salvation. </p><p>Yet, at the same time, they deny Jesus' Divinity. Claimed Jesus was born (just a man) or, at best, an angel who receives worship but shouldn't. Believe this, Jesus was has returned, and there is no resurrection. They questioned his birth, his name, self-identification, His oneness: Co-equal, co-eternal, with the Father and the Holy Spirit (God). They seem to exalt human reason above faith and revelation. Above all, this Jesus, they claimed to love, call on, pray to and teach others, is "<strong><em>a god</em></strong>" according to John 1:1 (<strong>NWT</strong>), and a few obscured Bible Translations (done by individuals, lacked reliable gk/Heb texts, or had access to the latest biblical finds).</p><p>CD Posters, can they love Christ, accept him, and deny him simultaneously? I am asking the remaining <strong>Anti-Trinitarian Trio</strong> (<a href="https://www.christiandiscourse.net/profile/BroRando" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc"> @BroRando</a>, <a href="https://www.christiandiscourse.net/profile/Bill_Coley" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc"> @Bill_Coley</a>, and <a href="https://www.christiandiscourse.net/profile/theMadJW" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc"> @theMadJW </a>) in a simple straight forward way to reconcile this apparent contradiction. I prefer each one to respond individually, but I will accept a joint response. </p><p>Until then, I would like to name above: Are you a <strong>practitioner of self-deception </strong>and <strong>knowingly peddling Fool-ology</strong>? Correct me if I am wrong if I misrepresented your position. By all means, state your position clearly and concisely. It looks like this remaining anti-Trinitarian Trio is trying to have its religious cake and eat it too. <strong>CM</strong></p><p><br /></p><p>*<strong>Fool-ology --</strong> I define this as the study of foolishness. <strong>CM</strong></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><strong>A source to consider :</strong></p><ul><li>Bentivegna, J. “A Christianity without Christ by Theophilus of Antioch.” <strong><em>Studia Patristica </em>13 (1975):</strong> 107-130.</li></ul>]]>
