Re: Evidently Anglicans dont believe in the Trinity
What are you talking about? I think you fail to understand orthodox Christian Doctrine.

Re: Evidently Anglicans dont believe in the Trinity
As usual, your post has absolutely nothing to do with the message to which you are replying.
And can you even read the things you quote?
Did you read "... adding that there are no plans to “to abolish or substantially revise” the existing liturgy."
Can you understand that sentence?

Jesus was a female.

The church said in an emailed statement that Christians have recognized “since ancient times that God is neither male nor female.”
It's obvious that the christian god is an alien, fictional, but still alien.

Re: British Humor Writ Large
"what's Christian about Gnosticism?"
Nothing.
There is something about Gnostic Christianity and Christianity.
There can be Gnostic to any religion or belief system.
There are Gnostic Muslims and atheists.

Re: Ignorance Is Diss
Lies.
Look again for the first time.
We were the well respected intelligentsia before the dimmer believers in the supernatural screwed up the religion.
I hope you can see how intelligent the ancients were as compared to the mental efforts that modern preachers and theists are using with the literal reading of myths.
What is God? - Big Think

Bill Moyers Journal . Watch & Listen | PBS
Rabbi Hillel, the older contemporary of Jesus, said that when asked to sum up the whole of Jewish teaching, while he stood on one leg, said, "The Golden Rule. That which is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the Torah. And everything else is only commentary. Now, go and study it."
Please listen as to what is said about the literal reading of myths.
"Origen, the great second or third century Greek commentator on the Bible said that it is absolutely impossible to take these texts literally. You simply cannot do so. And he said, "God has put these sort of conundrums and paradoxes in so that we are forced to seek a deeper meaning."
Matt 7;12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
This is how early Gnostic Christians view the transition from reading myths properly to destructive literal reading and idol worship.

Re: Mind Over Matter ©
I quoted the bible.
Is it as much of garbage as Watts?
If you like, I can quote your bible telling us that the Christian theology is week and to make it stronger and that if you want to grow your thinking, you have to get knowledge elsewhere.
I am sure you have read it.

Re: Evidently Anglicans dont believe in the Trinity
Check your history buddy.
Chrestianity was around before Christianity and much of their writings were plagiarized by the biblical scribes.

Yet without Jesus, there would be no Christianity.
As ringo frequently reminds you, it seems that you manage to be a Christian without Jesus.

Re: Evidently Anglicans dont believe in the Trinity
nwr, what Ringo thinks about the factuality of Jesus'
existence carries no weight.
The existence of Jesus is not dependent on whether
Ringo believes in Him or not.

True. Our very own member jar used to have a construct. You may want to ask him about it.

Satan isn't my ruler. I'm not the one going around claiming that I am the only god I will ever know. Now....who is "her" again?

You missed the point. I wasn't talking about the existence of Jesus. Rather, it was about Phat not doing what Jesus taught.

Re: Evidently Anglicans dont believe in the Trinity
The Bible clearly states that no one is righteous. I won't use that scripture as an excuse, however. Ringo has a point.
