Quote: "Gr. Christos, 'Anointed.' - Used in N.T. 577 times. Like the name "Jesus" it has no reference to deity, but to the humanity of the Son of God, who became the Christ or the "Anointed One" 30 years after He was born of Mary. God "made" Him both Lord and Christ. The Heb. Is 'Messiah'."

They dont like mystery, and the Trinity is the biggest mystery of all, so they water it down or deny it outright.

Funny how they will deny the mysteries of teh Godhead but likely accept the mysteries of creation, like quantum physics

I had neverheard of Dake. CAn't say i have any need to know more, really

I think there is. I believe for believers it's called being double minded, because Christ is not the focus of belief.

I just happen to have an article on that:

Much confusion could be avoided if we only used the words and the wording in the bible. If we need words which are not in the bible to express "our" thoughts [/font][/size][/b]perhaps it is because those ideas are not in the bible.
