Omega-
I don't know if you were referring to my post or Brad's, but I never said, nor do I believe that Christ was created.
Now, how true you are, if one meditates too much on the wrong things he can be misled. Yet also, if one is not willing to accept being wrong, he is already misled for God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble (just commenting on that kind of person, not saying that it is you). Friend, if you talk to me about something, I will be as attentitive to you as I would to any minister, preacher, prophet, or evangelist of reputation, b/c to me they are no more than you and you them. Yet, this doctrine of trinity does not add up to scripture.
Now, I truly believe that there is only one God as scripture confirms, now for some one to tell me that three persons make one God. It would be contradictory for me to proclaim I believe in one God. You see, if God created all. He created all, not Christ created and not the Father. That separates the two.
As far as Christ and the Father being one. He is not talking about Him, one god, being a portion of God as a whole, but as you stated before it is a unity of purpose. Not Him being another god who is one with the Father, for the father is the only God. Christ was Him, that God manifested in the flesh (i.e the Word [God] made flesh.
Isaiah 40:3 - The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Yahweh/Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
This is the testimony of John the Baptist, make straight the way for who, The Father (Yahweh/Jehovah) Now, unless we consider this prophecy wrong, it says that God (Father) is coming. There are other prophecies in which God promises to come Himself.
I pray that you will take heed to your own warnings about meditating on false doctrine, b/c sometimes we are guilty of the very things we see or think others are guillty of.
Aineo-
Whether or not my words align with portions of Greek Gnosticism or not, is not a concern of mine, nor what they believe. If I were to speak with one of them, I would listen to their concerns and what they had to say to me and give it thought, lest I become vain in my own understanding. There are certain things about Christ that I am praying about, for understanding. But one thing, you say they deny the deity of Christ, so that would make their beliefs not compatible with my own.
