Man... The doctrine of divine impassibility is insanely important to protect and defend.

@tohearns Phil. 2 doesn't say Jesus is in the 'morphe' of a human. Not sure where you're getting this.

@PracticalTheolo Philippians 2:6-7- v.6- Jesus is in the form of God (morphe). v. 7- Jesus is in the form of a human being (morphe). Therefore, to deny that Jesus is God is also to deny that Jesus was a true human being. Compare God and Jesus in Revelation 1:8, 1:17-18, 2:8, 21:6, 22:12-13.

@RevZekveld In the 1st century church, the eucharist was part of a full-meal that occurred on a weekly basis.

I'm glad that Zach Garris notes the connection between the rise of weekly communion and paedocommunion. I don't think the two have to come in combination, the papists have done weekly communion but have rejected paedocommunion since the 1200s. Calvin would have been for weekly communion, but was against paedocommunion alongside his Roman Catholic colleagues. There is a separate line of argumentation for paedocommunion (via covenant) than weekly communion (simply acknowledging the practice in the New Testament Church). But weekly communion played a role in my own eventual acceptance of paedocommunion. In part, because I believe that following the Lateran councils, the Lord's Supper was elevated to a height where it was too sacred for congregants to participate in communion of both kinds, which morphed into being too sacred to participate in on a weekly basis, much less have the baptized children of believers participate in.
Zachary Garris@ZacharyGarris

Also worth noting is that weekly communion has partly fueled the rise in paedocommunion. Because weekly administration makes it more noticeable that young children are excluded. Elders and parents then feel greater pressure to “remedy” this by rushing the admission of children to the Supper (either with infant communion or young child communion) rather than patiently waiting for the expression of a more mature faith (as historically practiced by the Reformed).

Where do we see the apostles going around evangelizing with “you must believe in the Trinity Doctrine to be a saved Christian”? 🤔

@PracticalTheolo I don't mind the rain. Though on reflection I'd probably adjust my maximum desired cloud cover down a touch which would make nuke the PNW off my map.

I'm not really denying Trinitarianism so much as simply asserting clear scripture.

@PracticalTheolo I didn’t ask you to restate you what u think . I asked why do the people who learned from apostles and put the Bible and interpret it together disagree.

@InquiringTruth_ Jesus, the Apostles, and the NT authors, as well as all the OT authors, were all Unitarians, my dear man.

@PracticalTheolo Why do the people who gave you the bible disagree with your interpretation.

@tohearns No really, because 'morphe' (form) primarily means external appearance.

@PracticalTheolo There is no explanation for how Christ, The Father, and Spirit can be one and separate at the same time, there is only explanation for how you’re allowed to talk about it in the creeds. The LDS theology is virtually the only one that resolves that tension.

This textual variant is almost universally considered to be a corruption by contemporary translators. Even if authentic, tho', one would have to ask in what sense they are 'one'. Is it like at John 10:30, where it means one in purpose/authority re the sheep? But we don't even really get to that point with this verse, due to its dubious authenticity.
