That's obvious. She still isn't getting it, Brother. I've told her repeatedly, both here and when this first came up last year, that regardless of what she believes, the way she was presenting her arguments made it look like she was denying oneness. This point has yet to sink in, even though it was more than myself who was trying to show her this.
In our yearly Christmas debate, I pointed out that, in my opinion, if we truly believed in one eternal God then it would be impossible for us to justify the celebration of Christmas, using the excuse of celebrating Jesus' birthday. Why? Because Jesus
is God and how can we on one hand say we believe Jesus is that eternal God and then turn around and say we are celebrating His birthday? In other words, if Jesus is God and God is eternal, then how can God have a birthday?
It was at this point when things "went south" between H.O. and I. Her response was something to the effect of, "But I am not celebrating God's birthday. I am celebrating Jesus' birthday." From this point forward is when I started telling her she was making comments contrary to oneness doctrine, which is that Jesus is God and God is Jesus. She kept on and on, along this vein, until someone more learned than I in proper written English pointed out that from a grammatical standpoint she was making it sound as if she was separating Jesus from God.
H.O. absolutely refused to acknowledge that what she was being told was right. She did the same thing she does any time someone tries to point out an error, and she dug in her heels. It was at that point that I decided I wasn't going to respond to her posts anymore and the rest is history..........until the other day.
What I should have done was to ignore the comment she made about the magic hair doctrine only being taught in white churches, as if she would know what gets preached in black and hispanic churches, and can speak with any authority on whether this doctrine is excusively being preached only at the white churches. Had I simply ignored her comments, like I usually do, I could have saved myself a lot of wasted time.
