I applaud the effort you obviously put into your exegetical and interpretive posts, CM. Thank you.
I offer no objections to the content of your post. In my view, your post accurately reports and distills the content it seeks to…

I disagree. Laws legislate conduct, not morals.
Laws against murder don't punish people for believing murder is moral; they punish people for committing the act of murder. Conduct, not morality.
I certainly acknowledge …

For the reasons explained above, I understand but ultimately reject the "hypocrite" label.

Thanks for your response, Dave. Some comments:
- There is no textual support in the four passages I cited for your claim that "Peter [was] selling them on the idea" that the Messiah "was a man too."
- Perhaps the clea…

I don't know how to make this clearer, Dave: To answer the question I posed about Peter's presentations to four audiences in Acts, the ONLY "evidence" needed is what Peter said to those audiences in Acts. The reason we…

Given the number of times I've asked the question, Wolfgang, I think it's hard to refute your speculation.
It astounds me that for all our faults - and I'm sure they are many! - you and I regularly, directly, and without evasio…

There is no distinction between "partial" and "later" truth in this matter, Dave. The question I've asked - what, perhaps a dozen times?!! - is what message did Peter give TO HIS AUDIENCES in those presentations found in Acts.<…

Remember that at issue in our current exchange, CM, is the message Peter gave to the audiences of his four presentations I cited from Acts, meaning that what's in the Gospel of John is not at all relevant to our discus…

No, I am espousing a principle that is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than the particulars of any given case: When a child visits a priest/pastor/etc it is the priest/pastor/etc who is solely responsible for the morality of what happens be…

The height of corn in my parts is not at all relevant to the point I made in my last post, Dave. The relationship between priest/pastor/rabbi/imam/whoever and a child is NOT a relationship of equals. The priest/pastor/etc has s…

So in your view, Peter's message about Jesus and God to his audiences in the four presentations found in Acts is that Jesus was a man whom they killed but God raised. Jesus was also the Messiah (Christ), the rejected (crucified) stone …

Based on what I read in your post, here, Dave, you have a distorted and disgusting view of these issues.
First, you don't the minds or hearts of the kids who go to their priests, and it is wrong for you to offer such rancid spe…

As I have pointed out several times in my efforts to get an advocate of Trinitarian theology to address my question directly, Peter's audiences DID NOT HAVE ACCESS to "other passages... of Christ's divinity." They knew…

Both Wolfgang and I have directly and without evasion engaged nearly every verse/passage you and other advocates Trinitarian theology have proffered in this thread, Dave; presumably, the many verses you've cited included some of the on…

Thanks for taking the time to engage some verses in one of the four Acts passages I cited, CM. But your purpose in doing so is not clear to me.
The portion of one of my posts that you included in yours asked for the message abo…

How can it be argued that Peter sold his audiences Jesus as "a lowly man whose divinity was not apparent," when to those audiences Peter made no mention of Jesus' divinity whatsoever? Where in ANY of his four presentat…

I understand how 2 Peter 1.1 CAN be read to support a Trinitarian Christology. As I have noted several times in my CD posts over the years, I freely acknowledge the existence of a small collection of such verses in the New Testament. In my view, …

Please provide links to those Journal's headlines. One of my pet peeves about the progressive media sources I rely on has to do with their occasional use of headlines that give wildly exaggerated summaries of the articles they introduc…

Your responses reflect a Trumpster understanding of objective truth, reformed. For you and other Trumpsters, truth is not objective; it's transactional. It's what you want or need it to be in the given circumstance. In the setting of o…

What makes you a Trumpster, in my view, is your disregard for objective, fact-based truth, not the identity of your "choice" for president. But let's test it out via three yes/no questions:

Your post offers about as refined an example of "Trumpster Truth" as we'll find in these forums, reformed. Trumpster truth exhibits no regard for the objective truth of its claims; it cares only that for Trumpsters the…

Thank you for calling attention to the CBO's report on the projected course of U.S. national debt, CM. It is a painful but necessary reminder of the economic challenges that await us.
