Salvation and Unitarians

You ignored the "Lord Jesus" part.
I put it in boldfaced and underlined for you above...hopefully, you can see it this time.
I see he mentioned God our Father first as Jesus taught in the Lords prayer. I pray to the Father through Jesus. Jesus is my advocate between me and the Father, he is my mediator and my high priest. Jesus stands in between man and God our Father.
 
I imitate Paul as he asked believers to follow his example as he followed Christ example. Jesus taught his disciples how to pray and Paul did the same by following the same outline Jesus game to them.

They gave you an example of intimacy and trust in prayer. Not specific details that you can't deviate from.

How about some words from Paul....

Php_4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Can any man less than God..... do such a thing?

That is how I pray bringing my requests before God our Father. Is God your Father or is Jesus?
 
So Adam before the fall, could have been the same? Do you expect to get there yourself? Equal to Jesus? Will you not one day become like Christ?
no as all men are under adams curse as sinners and death was that result of sin. I hope to become like Jesus when I am resurrected when sins curse will be gone.

I mentioned Adam before he sinned. I also asked after you are resurrected in as He was resurrected. Will you then became equal to Christ or will He still be your Master/Lord?

This is one of the many difficulties in Unitarianism while trying to give Christ His rightful position as above ALL.

Why would I ever think that I could be equal with the person who saved me? Will you be equal with Jesus?
 
John 14:28. Jesus said His Father is greater than Him.

Joh 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

In the Incarnation, Christ made Himself of no reputation. He humbled Himself from His position. Of course He would say that His Father was greater.

However, this is not an indication of Eternal Rank.

Php 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

If He has a name above every name, list "someone" above Him.
 
I live by what Paul said here in Philippians. The epistle of Joy.

It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
You make a valid point even though we disagree on the Person of Christ and His Divinity. I'm happy to see you hold Him in high esteem. I think some fellow unitarians can glean some insights from your playbook.
 
I know what your gospel is. You are God's Son too. Your are worshipped by angels. I bet that sells well doesn't it? Especially when die and remain in the grave.... right? Or when your are powerless to actually save others. How does that work for you? Do sinners ask forgiveness in your name?
This is not a Christ like post.
 
I am a unitarian and Iove Jesus.
Post of the year! 😻
Impossible.

This is because you are denying who He is -> God.
What utter nonsense.

I love my daughter even though she is not God.

The Lord Jesus who is to be loved (1 Corinthians 16:22) is YHWH (1 Corinthians 10:26; cf. Psalm 24:1).

No Scripture says Jesus is YHWH, which goes to show how desperate you are to defend the indensible.
 
Jesus also said to love your enemies and to speak well of them and if I'm your enemy because I believe differently about God than you do then that doesn't give you the right as a christian to treat me unkindly.
Wow!

I watched a vid last year of an old pastor who converted to unitarianism. One thing he said stuck with me. Trinitarianism does NOT produce the fruit of the Spirit. Their nastiness really comes out when all you do is believe differently about God.
