When you start peeling the layers, we are winding up with some startling and troubling doctrines against our Triune God:
The disobedient Lone-ranger Christian:
Lon,
Hebrews 2:10-14
Who did Jesus Christ hang around with?
Who was his counselor?
Who taught him?
Who is the lone ranger?
oatmeal
Hebrew 2:12 and 10:25
You are simply looking for any excuse to be disobedient. There is not "go therefore and do likewise" to any of your questions.
The problem here is he wants to take priveledges of our Savior (who actually went to the synagogue) and dismiss the directives given. A cop-out for disobedience. It is simpler for a person, when Jesus is merely a man to him, and thus an easy fleshly example to follow with no cross to bear. Lone-ranger is not what we are called to Christ for. Why do they want to hang with us online if they are lone-rangers anyway? I try not to read minds, but I can't help but see "troubling the Body for distrubing fun."
****************************************************************
Thomas the blasphemer:
John 20:27; 28; 29
v28 - And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
You forgot to include the ! point in Thomas verse, he was surprised to realize that Jesus was really the son of God as Peter said and Jesus confirmed.
We of scriptural persuasion, let alone triune, find this horribly offensive and unfitting speculation for any believer. For Thomas to exclaim so, without talking to God, is taking God's name in vain and such poor and detestable speculation is highly offensive to rest of us. That's the quick bee-line road to the anathema cult patch.
How in the world do I see somebody that actually thinks this, is following Christ? Honoring the Apostles? that they think Thomas is taking God's name in vain?
How can they not see this as offensive and anathema to every believer? I'm flabbergasted.

Christ, who created the Universe was non-existent before His birth?
Or
What's worse than an Arian?
Who you are talking to - I'm not Arian. Arians believe Jesus existed as a person prior to the incarnation. I don't believe he existed as anything more than a thought in God's mind, a Logos, in other words.
Worse yet and completely scripture-stupid as far as I'm concerned. That's a sad admission for me from you. I honestly thought you had at least a couple of marbles left. Are you JW then? That's what they believe about Christ. Regardless --> cult.
*********************************************************
Meshak is the most devoted to God? Er god?
Bybee... I also think deep down she is sincere in her love for God and us. Her motives I do not question.
But on the other hand we should practice what we preach and try to understand her reasons for being so devoted that she makes enemies instead of friends. We should be able to debate without name calling.
God bless you friend.
To me, it seems like-minded-sympathies.

Jesus didn't give us the Epistles?
Or
The disobedient Lone-Ranger part 2
Are you forsaking the assembly like Hebrews 10:25 warns against?
Jesus did not teach any of that.
You are being legalistic which Jesus hates.
I don't honestly know whether to cry or shake dust from my shoes (both)?
