Why is traditional theology probably out-of-date?

Question

Some Interesting Facts

1. Christ never DIRECTLY STATED IN QUOTE FORMAT" I Am God"

2. The apostles never DIRECTLY STATED IN QUOTE FORMAT" Christ Is God"

3.The Trinity Dogma ascribes various individualized functions to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Yet these functions cross-platform frequently in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit giving the Trinity Dogma a serious contradiction. Trinitarians will fight this blindly, though.

4. By INDIRECT CLAIMS ,such as the allusion to "I AM" in Exodus, Christ by APPLIED IMPLICATION METHOD is considered FULLY GOD by traditional theology. Even though in the "I AM" allusion, Christ never DIRECTY STATED He was "I AM" but IMPLIED He was.

5.The Trinity Dogma, self-admittedly, uses APPLIED IMPLICATION METHOD to interpret Bible Doctrine for Christ's Diety.

6. Biblical authors seemingly "went out their way" to avoid calling Christ DIRECTY God in any solid piece of scripture.

Answer 1

All very true.

Why should our lives be ruled by the thoughts of people who had no real knowledge of the world, and thought that people were inhabited by demons and devils who controlled their bodies and minds.

Throw off the shackles and be free!

Answer 2

Your questions are incorrect:

Jesus did say, "I am he".

Thomas once said, "My Lord and My God!" to Jesus, and John called him the creator.

The other 4 of your points are psychobabble. You can't apply any form of philosophy to any other person if they never used it themselves. I know it's tempting, but it doesn't work. You have to have known what "applied implication methodolgy" was to have used it, for example.

Your arguments are also 2-dimensional, at best. If you want to know what the disciples themselves believed, you have to get beyond the black and white words on the page and think about them as real human beings writing things down with their own motivations. You also have to be able to put their words into the context of their own times rather than looking at them through modern eyes.

You have no hope of making an impact until you can gain some depth to your thinking and make statements that are much more compelling.

Answer 3

"If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father."

"The word was with God and the word was God, and the word BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US."

IN ISAIAH IT CLEARLY SAYS "UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN...AND HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED MANY NAMES: MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER." YOU KNOW VERY LITTLE OF SCRIPTURE. You know what you have been told. Or perhaps what you would like to believe. The Bible says otherwise. Please ask if you would like to know if something is true or not. There are real answers out there. I appreciate that you at least pondered the question.

Answer 4

John 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

2 Peter 1: 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Psalm 45:6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Psalm 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
26 They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

To prophesy: To speak by Divine Inspiration in the name of God.

Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

Answer 5

The real reason is that religion is obsolete. It was invented to explain natural phenomena before better explanations were available. But they now are, so religion is no longer useful -- if it ever was.
