You may have missed my point. “Son of God” ...Shawn,<br />You may have missed my point. “Son of God” and “God” might well mean two different things to a Jew, particularly one living at the time of Paul. My only point in raising the wording of Fundamental Belief #10 is that the language is without context, and for a Christian community that believes in the Trinity, confusing. I offer only two of many Pauline references that undoubtedly helped to convince our early church fathers and mothers that Jesus had a Father.<br /><br />Romans 8:3<br />For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.<br /><br />Romans 4:24<br />but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.Andy Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16589573364311905584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719139866984861669.post-52607061276815444522011-10-05T05:49:47.534-07:002011-10-05T05:49:47.534-07:00As far as what the Good News translation says, I d...As far as what the Good News translation says, I don't see any difference in meaning. I still have to agree with Paul Peterson and the Apostle Paul. Also "so that it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. This life that I live now, I live by faith in the SON OF GOD, who loved me and gave his life for me." Gal. 2:20-the Good News bible. So, quoting the Apostle Paul himself its a good bet that he believed Jesus was the Son of God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719139866984861669.post-52992841058784633612011-10-03T23:22:07.512-07:002011-10-03T23:22:07.512-07:00Shawn,

It’s nice to know that you are out there, reading with a critical eye!

While Peterson’s words obfuscate rather than illuminate the belief itself, the actual “The Experience of Salvation”, is included on the second page. It begins with these words: “In infinite love and mercy God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, so that in Him we might be made the righteousness of God…”<br /><br />--God turned Christ into sin? Maybe, in spite of our protestations, Adventists are a sect after all. In addition, these words smack of Arian heresy.<br /><br /><br />-- you claim that the words "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us so that in him we might be made the righteousness of God" smack of Arian heresy. My question for you is are you saying the Apostle Paul was teaching Arian heresy? Have you read 2 Corinthians 5:21? Paul Peterson is in full agreement with the Apostle Paul. Maybe you should check scripture before making such claims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
