Are you referring to the verses I quoted?

No. I was referring to the few verses attributed by gospel writers to Christ that are generally regarded by scholars as being quotes of Christ.

What verses have been provided which you claim are not regarded as genuine?

As I just mentioned, I was referring to the few verses where Christ discusses the Holy Spirit.

I wrote:

The question then becomes is the Holy Spirit a class of spirit beings like angels and cerubim, or is it divine?

You replied:

It appears you are indeed an anti-Trinitarian, but a weird one. I am not sure which cult this "angel" language belongs to. I will have to think on it.

????

In the meantime, is there a problem with the verse that identifies the Holy Spirit as God?

I have to apologize because in the flood of posts and meeting family demands, I missed responding to that one. I will respond to it directly but probably tomorrow morning since I'm about to call it a day.

I wrote:

Show me in scripture where the apostles had a clear understanding of the Holy Spirit and it's relationship to Christ and God.

You wrote:

Is there a reason why you ignored my first response to you and are now asking me to start a post from scratch?

Sorry but as I just mentioned, that post and several others got lost in the flood of posts today.

Why not respond to my original post and then go from there?

I will do that but probably Saturday morning.

Please don't waste my time. You went from defending Mormonism to the Trinity, and now you are even ignoring what I write on that. I will not repeat myself over and over again.

Sorry about not responding fully to that post. I may have responded in part but not fully. I will fully respond tomorrow.

Keep in mind that you started off this debate by saying that Mormons are rightfully Christians, just not "mainstream" ones, on top of attacking the Trinity. Now it seems you also share the Mormon view of scripture, maybe even worse, in suggesting that not all of the scripture is genuine, and this while suggesting that a majority of "scholars" support you. Hate to break it to you, but we have about 2,000 years of theologians, Christian leaders, scholars, and biblical texts backing us.

Why is it that non-Christians are always so keen on telling us what the Bible really means, and who is and isn't a Christian?
