“I am the way and the truth and the life.”
Luke 4:8 Christ is quoting Deuteronomy chapter 6 the thirteen verse. "it is written" Lord here in this verse you're quoting is the greek word "Kyrios" meaning master. The greek word for God here is "Theon" which is in reference to the most high GOD. Theos is used to refer to christ. And theos isn't used in the greek in the verse you quoted.
John 4:22-23
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
True worshipers in John 4 worship the father not the son.
Mark 10:18
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God (theon).
Prophets/Messengers make it clear they are the path to the source of their message.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. John 4:22
Jesus was a Jew, fulfilling the promise made to Abraham that God would bless/save the whole world through his descendants
More proof of the Trinity:
- I and the Father are one. - John 10:30
- but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” - John 10:38
- Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” John 20:28-29
Mark 10:18 was in response to a man calling Jesus a good teacher
Jesus wanted to make it clear that he was not merely a sinless rabbi, but God in the flesh

- Jesus isnt God.
- The crusades...
Eventually all these radical religions will evolve.
Even Islam. Conditions under extreme Islam are still hard, especially for women, but they are very very slowly improving.
Its madness to kill attack another human being for God. Its God, its more than capable of defending itself.
Extreme religious bekiefs seem to go hand in hand with mindless cruelty "in the name of God"... You would think extreme religion would lead to extreme goodness and love... but no.

As per Christianity Jesus is God

He isn't, but not worth debating and derailing the topic of why modern "Christians" aren't ready to throw down every time Jesus's (the son of God who was begotten by God) name is used in vain...
All mainstream denominations of Christianity accept the Trinity
so your argument that Christians do not respond angrily to jokes about Christ because he is not God doesn't make sense

#WeDemBoyz Season Has Returned
Christianity in America has moved past burning people at the stake or torturing people for having different beliefs.
Nowadays they ostracize you financially or apply pressure to you in the business world for being against God. In this country Christianity is just a tool of white Supremacy and a thinly veiled excuse to keep less educated people voting for the Republican party to pass tax cuts and increase the wealth of the elite ruling class and corporations. Christianity is essentially a mask that is put on and taken off when it is convenient.
There are really only "true believers" among the common people, and lot of them live in poverty in the Bible belt across the Southern United States

Good points. So you’re both saying that Christianity is further evolved in its religious evolution?
Any idea why Christianity was specifically propelled forward in its development?
@Jeshaman, you seem to be hinting that Christian societies have institutions that prevent extreme behavior/defense.Meanwhile, @The Older The Berry... implies that Christians are more rational about their need to defend the faith.
Am I correct with these assumptions?
Lmao Trinitarians ya'll beat John 10:30 and John 1:5 into death with misinterpretations. I know your sunday pastor receives good tithes from you. If it's literally one god with three different distinct identities as your doctrine says can you explain verses like Mark 16:19 how can one Deity sit on the right hand side of himself? Or if the most high is all knowing how come Christ didn't know the fig tree was out of season in Mark 11. Or when Christ prayed he asked "Forgive them father" he was speaking to 1/3 of himself?
Then John 14:28 makes ya'll doctrine even more confusing because Christ says the father is greater than he is but yet they're one person with 3 distinct identities but trinitarians say "All three identities of the Trinity are co-eternal, co-equal, and equally divine." But yet Christ is saying the father here is greater than he is in this verse.
28 “You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
Duetronomy 6 verse 4 says it's only one Lord.
Isaiah 45:5 Says it There is no one BESIDES the lord.

Read up on Christopher Hitchens. Dude was a super-atheist spent his entire life holding seminars and talking about how God isn't real
He died of terminal throat cancer
He was a heavy smoker and drinker

A lot of "Christians" seem to be for:
- Profit.
- Sexual explotation.
- Psychological control.
Conflicting interpretations and conflicting verses... but despite this the bible unlike some religious texts doesn't call for the brutal murder of other humans "in Gods name".
The Bible asks people to look into yourself before you see the fault in others, it says that vengence is for the God.
Basically its asking true Christians to spread the word not by force or indoctrination but allowing people to accept Christianity of their own free will.
