Please dont assume whether I have a christian background. Im not a trinitarian. I understand both views.
I really don't mean to be critical. I'm sure we'd get along fine despite our theological differences. You sound like a
Dont think so. I just think (being blunt) you have to put more thought in my posts. Also, it helps me if you use my reply so I know what you are referring to and I can clarify without repeating myself.
Should you ever decide to break from tradition and accept only the Bible as a source of reference, I really believe things would be more clear in your mind. Again, I say that as a brother in Christ because I love all Christians. I blame the
Im not part of a tradition
Please do noy assume our differences mean I dont have clarity in scripture. I will try to break it down -not- so you can agree just understand.
Creator: person who made the universe
Savior: person who relieves someone of threat to their life (or so have you)
Spirit: grace and love from the creator
Incarnation: flesh
Incarnate: someone/thing made flesh
Image: a copy of source
Source: from which the copy was made from
Word: Salvation
THE Word: savior (person who saves)
God-creator
Jesus-savior
(Holy) spirit-nature of both
Genesis says there is a creator
The creator also is with his salvational message for people throughout the OT testement. That message is eternal
In the NT, the creator made his Word (above) salvation incarnate/flesh.
Once the word was flesh, that flesh was born to a woman in the gospels.
The flesh was baptized by the creator
He prayed to his creator once he/savior received the duty he was to perform: die for others to live aka be a savior
After the passion in acts, the spirit of the creator (his love) by salvation saved isrealites and gentiles who believed in their creator's message
The Word/a promise of salvation (English idiom) was fufilled. Last and only one savior and one salvation.

Trinitarians: do not seperate image from source
Non-trinitarians do by strict definition that the image and source are not the same (your post above confirms this)
I am pointing out two different views without leaning to either view as correct or incorrect. Christians say people are right or wrong. I dont do that. Its a nasty habit.
