When "push comes to shove" (whatever that means), I suppose I would fall in line with so-called "trinitarian" theology. We use the term "persons" on our website. But to answer the question, Jesus, as an earthly existence as a human, didn't kill anyone.
And I'll come clean.....I struggle with the idea that God kills anyone (except the people I don't like! ). I struggle with capital punishment, I struggle with war, and I struggle with the bloodshed of the Old Testament.
Man, I'm struggling!!
How 'bout you?
Yep I am too!
I was thinking the other day, why does everything else from the bible really matter other than this: Believing that Jesus died on the cross and that God raised Jesus from the dead. Believing that Christ preached repentance, that he was baptized, and that God showed his approval with signs and miracles. Isn't this the gospel plain and simple. So what does all this doctrinal stuff matter? Why is it that so much time is spent on all these other beliefs and bible stories instead of simply going out and living for God?

I would jump up and yell "YEAH!" and do a fistpump if you were preaching that!

Did you read about my "angle"?

If I had asked "Did God ever kill anyone?", I think it'd be nearly unanimous: yes. But if God's name is Jesus, isn't that question exactly the same as the question of this poll? And yet No leads 9 to 7. Interesting, don't you think?
Just having a little fun with ya!
