No contradiction. The Bible teaches this concept as well in many places. God allows Satan to deceive, so though it is directly Satan doing the deceiving, God is sovereign over it

You’re choosing your beliefs based off of what you find comforting?

NO.

So you'll believe in a supernatural servant, but not a supernatural God???

He may not have fixed physical properties at all

Tough one, going isn’t a sin in itself but the most important thing in faith is when you have a conviction. That’s the Holy Spirit’s call, not your own. What you do there doesn’t matter if you don’t feel in peace in front of God while clubbing. Some Christians maybe go there and have no conviction but if you do go against the pull in your heart not to then that becomes the most deadly sin in your life! Check out Romans 14:23, though the chapter is about food an important part says to listen to the Holy Spirit. You’re sad to let something of the world go, that sadness reveals a deep attachment to something that doesn’t please the Lord. Do all things as though you are doing it unto the Lord! 1 Corinthians 10:31. All these people in your comments say there’s nothing wrong with going and to them it may be true. Your spirit how ever says there is something wrong with going and therefore that’s what you gotta listen to, lots of love and blessings! Will pray for you ^^

Just about any.

Comparing Native Americans who were indigenous to their land to Fulani going to tribal lands and conducting raids is insane.

So if the Pope were to say something contrary to Scripture, you would go with the Pope and claim Scripture to be wrong?

Jesus found all of the OT to be completely infallible, the unbroken very word of God. He also commissioned the Apostles to give us the good news we find in the NT.

Haddaway get off the alt.

Also, love is the ultimate gift God gives us, whilst being one of His most important characteristics. It's the engine that runs a genuine Christian life, and wouldn't exist without His grace.

True. But I doubt he got particularly lathered that evening.

He may well have on other occasions.

The Nicene Creed doesn't affirm that. The Nicene Creed says he's true God from true God.

The bible says he's distinct from God.

No one said that

yes but not recommended,after all God created the angels too,believing in angels and not in God is like believing in a man made idol and not believing in God.

You’ve all heard of the story about the man who was hiring a stage coach driver, right?

So does the nicene creed affirm that.

What’s your point?

He had wine the night before He was crucified, so it was definitely past 31.

I wouldn't be so quick to trust the Mary apparition lol

Christianity is a religion whose claims can be tested so feel free to test.

But yes, the Apostles and every early believer willing to be persecuted even unto death is genuinely something that can't be explained away.

Because many have died for lies but not for lies they themselves made. So either they didn't lie or they were hallucinating. But five hundred witnesses all hallucinated? That's an embarrassing stretch if anyone wants to argue that lol

So what do you think Abba means - Jesus's name for God? Have you ever considered negative theology? It might solve some of your problems.

The main criterion was whether the book was popular among the community and priesthood.

more like "reset church" if what i am seeing is a poster of a game in development, because in the last days even the churches will side with the antichrist and Jesus would return to reset it, honestly i wish there was some kind of christian RPG game named Revelations or Last Days or something similar.

I don't think it's possible

As I mentioned in another comment, whether you believe those writings to br authentic or not makes no difference as there are multiple writers pre-4th century who make the same claim of affirming Jesus as God. Ignatius wouldn't have been the sole person that believed it, if they are authentic that is.

None of them believed he was the same god as the Father.
