“"Your post sucks too. What do you mean the Trinitarian concept is "human"? That's kind of a given, isn't it? Or did you think I was mistaking it with a dog's concept of his deity?"

That made me laugh! Thanks. :)”

“Jesus himself never claimed to be God, or even the Son of God. He called himself the Son of Man.....whatever that meant. Jesus as God, and the Trinity are political constructs of the Roman Catholic church, aka THE CHURCH, a man made political institution. That construct is maintained to this day in the interests of power over others. And the gullible who don't know early "christian" history, swallow it whole. Sigh.”

“Hello back at you.

I'm simply referring to how my faith (Lutheran) addressed God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
I'm not claiming this to be anything other than what my religion teaches.
Yes. I believe Jesus is the son of God hence, the Virgin Mary, and the Holy Spirit is Jesus rising from the tomb and "was seated at the right hand of God, our father Almighty". There you have the Trinity. Jesus > Holy Spirit (Jesus' spirit) > meets with God and is addressed as Savior for the first time because he has "saved us" by dying for our sins. Jesus and God are seperate entities to me; Jesus saved me but God can destroy me. You can pray to either but Jesus loves you and God will judge you at his convenience, hopefully before you meet St. Peter,
it would be a bummer to be turned down at the gates ;-)

So there you have it. The original reason for posting a clarification was
because I thought C. Kelly uses God instead of Jesus, but if you change "give birth TO God"
to "give birth FOR God" the sentence makes more sense, and I believe this is
the statement he intended.”

“ah, a born again, eh? wouldn't want to find wisdom in the pursuit of koans (yes, it is a sort of Christian Koan)”

“bkno~

Go on back to sleep. That is not what hum is saying.

And, the concept of the Trinity has been around for far longer than the "Christian" concept of the "trinity" .
The Trinitarian concept is a human concept of how to describe their deity.
It is actually a pre-Christian concept.
"Christianity" is not the only religion!”

“yes, this is true. They are an animal welfare org. Love em or hate em, but people talk about it and that's a good thing.”

“I agree. I thought the very thing myself. And I still can't figure out why Kim Kardashian is on TV or why anyone could possibly care what she does. The same goes for this dimwit, Sarah Palin.”

“K.K. might be overrated, but in comparison to S.P. she's an angel and a brainiac.”

“I started as a C cup, breastfed for 7 months and ended up a DD. So, it happens.”

“did motherhood give her a forehead free of wrinkles as well?????”

“Agreed. I am a conservative, but I'm also a movie-lover. The views of actors, or even the angle of a movie or TV show itself, don't effect my decision on whether to see a movie. (I may take issue with bknott on the perceived greatness of certain actors, however.)

I think Mr. Williams intentionally ignores an important point: Grousing about actors' public political stances has less to do with their affiliations and more to do with the manner in which they are delivered. I think if one objectively examines the most controversial of public political pontifications, one can see they commonly share a certain lack of decorum.”

“The same could be said of liberals who won't see movies/TV shows, etc., because they are conservative. I have no problem with someone expressing their political views, it is more how and what the say to express this view. Those who are in the entertainment industry have far greater access to get their message out than does the average person. Mind you, the internet is changing that. If an actor/actress is rude or demeaning in there view to the other side or complaining and putting down those they don't agree with while both sides are equally guilty makes it hard to watch the performance without their ugliness showing through instead of the character.”

“You sir, may well be aclassical liberal. You are not what is called liberal here on the fringe of lunacy.”

“First, I doubt very much that there are more gun homicides than there are people overdosing on drugs.

Secondly, how do you conduct a 'study' of an illegal thing? How many teen-aged gangbangers do you think are going to volunteer that they are carrying an illegal gun?”

“So, if the study finds out that teens illegally carrying handguns run a higher chance of being shot, what are we going to do, make it even more illegal for teens to carry handguns?”

“not if the studies are being used by groups like the BC and VPC to justify unconstitutional gun laws”

“Sadly, I agree”

“Well, CNN seems to think anything goes, so it is not unfair to pressure them to do something else if enough people want the station to behave differently. Pressure aside, in election time stations are required to air ads they may not agree with. Listeners/watchers know that ads do not reflect the views of the carrier. CNN and their trolls are engaging in the "Big Whine".”

“What makes your interpretation any more valid?”

“But how would we know? We need to run a real Democrat some time to find out. We take it on faith that a real Democrat can't win. Who says? Republican policies are such assaults on the average person I don't accept that a Democrat who gets his message out can't win.”

“WOW!! Hats off to your 7 year old...Great instincts...”

“lol”
