hey there everyone. My name is David, I am a Pentecostal, I attended Living Hope Apostolic Church, and believe in a pan-Christianity.

Now.....What's up with the avatar selection, and no Arizona Cardinals in the selection menu? We are about to destroy Philadelphia and head to the bowl, but no avatar? Conspiracy me thinks.....

Anyway, if anyone wishes to chat, feel free.

Hello & Welcome to TOL! :e4e:

Can't help you about the avatars, and I don't care about sports, but I want to know what "pan-Christianity" is?

Ah, pan-Christianity. I belong to the Oneness doctrine, or, incorrectly labeled "Jesus only". The bulk of Christianity subscribes to the belief of Trinitarianism. I do not like either of these terms, nor do I particularly enjoy the factionalism of the Church. I would like to see both terms disappear and be replaced merely by the term "Christian". It's laughable that both sides of this can sit there and talk so much trash about fellow Christians, while at the same time considering themselves Godly.

So Oneness Pentecostal theology affirms that there exists only one God in all the universe, and it affirms the deity of Jesus and the Holy Spirit. However, Oneness theology denies the Trinity and teaches that God is a single person, correct?

What do you make of this verse in Genesis:

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..." - vs.1:26

Why would God refer to Himself in the plural if He is a singular being?

Further, how could Jesus (God's Son) be manifested into a man and pray to the Father while He was living on earth if He is the same person? Was He just praying to Himself? :confused:

Wow, I see I missed some good posts, lousy sleep....

Anyway, I have envisioned a pan-Christianity since I came to the Church (I was raised Conservative Jewish). The idea appeals to me, because no offense to my brethren, Christian leaders it seems have easier times agreeing to disagree. Of course, there are exceptions, cough Northern Ireland cough, but even that seems to be getting better. Who knows, it's a dream, and I don't plan on leading a charge anytime soon.


Also, Dxpose, I do not wish to get into mudslinging. As this argument can go forever. But I will ask this.

Read before Genesis 1:26 and you will see no mention is made of him creating anyone with him. if you want to ask why Jesus prayed (good question) also ask why God spoke to himself in Genesis, when he merely can think something into existence. Also, we can all agree that Jesus was more than mere man. We also agree that he knew of his death, and went willingly. Why then did he ask God why he had been forsaken?
And of course...
