A Biblical Unitarian Confession of Faith
I believe in one God, the Father, the only true God, the Creator of heaven and earth, from whom are all things.
I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the promised Messiah, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He is the uniquely begotten Son of God, the second Adam, the perfect man, and the one whom God anointed, sent, empowered, raised from the dead, exalted, and appointed Lord and Christ.
I confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and that God raised him from the dead.
I believe that Jesus lived without sin, freely obeyed his Father, suffered and died for our sins, was buried, and was raised from the dead by God. Through the obedience of this one man, righteousness and life have been made available to humanity.
I believe that Jesus Christ is now seated at the right hand of God as our Lord, High Priest, mediator, and advocate, and that God has given him authority to rule, judge, and ultimately subject all things under him.
I believe that there is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, the man Christ Jesus.
I believe that the Holy Spirit is God’s Spirit, His power, presence, and gift at work in His people. Those who believe in Jesus Christ receive holy spirit as God’s pledge and guarantee of the life to come, are born of God, and are empowered to live in obedience, manifest spiritual power, and bear spiritual fruit.
I believe that salvation is offered by God’s grace through Jesus Christ and is received by faith. God calls all people to repent, believe the Gospel, confess Jesus as Lord, and receive the life He has made available through His Son.
I believe that Jesus Christ will return, the dead will be raised, judgment will occur, and God’s righteous kingdom will be fully established.
I believe that Scripture is God’s written revelation and is to be diligently studied, rightly divided, understood according to its language, context, figures of speech, manners and customs, and overall testimony.
Therefore, I confess:
One God, the Father.
One Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
One mediator, the man Christ Jesus.
One Spirit from God, given to His people.
One Gospel of salvation through God’s risen and exalted Son.
“But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”
— 1 Corinthians 8:6
“Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
— Matthew 16:16
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
— 1 Timothy 2:5
“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
— Romans 10:9
How exactly does James 5:19–20 work under Calvinism?
James 5:19–20:
“Brethren, IF ANY OF YOU do err from the truth, and ONE CONVERT HIM; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way SHALL SAVE A SOUL FROM DEATH, and shall hide a multitude of sins.”
Notice what James actually establishes.
He addresses BRETHREN. He warns that someone among them may WANDER FROM THE TRUTH. He says ANOTHER PERSON can turn that individual back. And he explicitly describes the result as SAVING A SOUL FROM DEATH.
Where does James say the wandering person was never genuinely saved?
Where does he say the restoration was irresistibly predetermined?
Where does he distinguish between a temporary profession of faith and genuine regeneration?
He doesn’t.
Calvinists will respond that God ordains both the END and the MEANS. But that is an explanation supplied by their theological framework, not something James explicitly teaches here.
Hebrews 3:12–13 likewise warns BRETHREN against departing from the living God and commands them to exhort one another.
Galatians 6:1 instructs spiritual believers to RESTORE someone overtaken in a fault.
Romans 11:20–23 describes branches broken off through UNBELIEF and restored if they do not continue in unbelief.
Scripture repeatedly presents human responses, warnings, correction, and restoration as consequential.
God’s Word can correct someone who has wandered. Another believer can lead that person back to the truth.
And James explicitly says that doing so can SAVE A SOUL FROM DEATH.
That is not salvation earned through human works. It is God accomplishing His purposes through His Word and the ministry of believers.
THE QUESTION IS NOT WHETHER GOD IS SOVEREIGN.
The question is why Calvinism requires us to read an irresistible, predetermined outcome into a passage that explicitly describes a conditional warning and consequential intervention.
WHERE IS THAT EXPLANATION WRITTEN?

This is why WA Democrats and their media allies keep using the deceitful narrative frame "post COVID" and "since the pandemic."
COVID remains their Get Out of Jail Free card wasteful spending and corrupt policy. That pre-dates COVID and will continue until WA voters stop them.
Gee, what happened?
Democrats were wildly overspending and desperately needed Covid relief money to cover their ass
They had YEARS to fix their spending and didn't
Don't believe me? Here's Inslee ADMITTING he kept us locked down for Covid dollars

When examining the Trinity, it is actually easier to start with the doctrine’s own definition and then ask whether Scripture contradicts it.
Trinitarianism typically requires:
One God
Three distinct persons
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each fully God
Co-equal
Co-eternal
None is greater or lesser in deity
Now compare that with Scripture:
“The Father is greater than I.”
John 14:28
“The head of Christ is God.”
1 Corinthians 11:3
“I ascend unto… my God, and your God.”
John 20:17
“There is but one God, the Father… and one Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 8:6
“There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
1 Timothy 2:5
“Neither the Son, but the Father.”
Mark 13:32
“All authority is given unto me.”
Matthew 28:18
“God hath made that same Jesus… both Lord and Christ.”
Acts 2:36
“Then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him…”
1 Corinthians 15:28
So the problem is not that Scripture contains no verses Trinitarians can appeal to.
The problem is that the doctrine’s own required categories repeatedly collide with explicit statements of Scripture.
If the Son is coequal, why is the Father greater?
If the Son is the same God, why does Jesus have a God?
If authority is inherently his as God, why is it given to him?
If he is coequal and coeternal, why does the Son remain subject to God even at the culmination of his reign?
Show me any precise definition of the Trinity, and I am happy to test it line by line against Scripture.
That is the better question:
Does Scripture actually fit the doctrine, or does the doctrine require layers of explanation to survive what Scripture plainly says?
The Trinity is non-negotiable Christian doctrine.
There is ONE God (Deut. 6:4).
The Father is God (1 Cor. 8:6).
The Son is God (John 1:1; 20:28).
The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4).
Three distinct Persons. One divine Being. Coequal. Coeternal.
Deny the Trinity, and you deny the God revealed in Scripture.
You cannot reject who God is and still claim to worship Him as He has revealed Himself.
Let’s examine only the statement:
“The Trinity is non-negotiable Christian doctrine.”
The first question should be:
What is written?
Where does Jesus say:
“You must believe God is three persons in one being.”
Where do Peter, Paul, John, or any apostle say:
“Belief in the Trinity is required to be a Christian.”
Where is anyone evangelized with that formula?
Where is anyone told they must confess:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three coequal, coeternal persons in one divine essence
in order to be saved?
That statement does not appear.
What does appear?
“Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:16
Jesus responds:
“Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”
Matthew 16:17
John tells us why his Gospel was written:
“These are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
John 20:31
Paul states the salvation confession:
“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9
John says:
“Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him.”
1 John 4:15
And:
“Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.”
1 John 5:1
Paul summarizes:
“There is but one God, the Father… and one Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 8:6
And:
“There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
1 Timothy 2:5
So if someone says:
“The Trinity is non-negotiable Christian doctrine.”
the obvious response is:
By whose stated standard?
Because Scripture plainly makes these things central:
Jesus is the Christ.
Jesus is the Son of God.
Jesus is Lord.
Jesus died for our sins.
God raised him from the dead.
Those are explicitly connected to salvation and Christian confession.
The Trinity is not.
That does not by itself prove the Trinity false. But it creates a serious problem for calling it “non-negotiable” in the sense of required to be Christian or saved.
If God intended belief in a triune divine essence to be an indispensable boundary of Christianity, we should reasonably expect Jesus or the apostles to state that requirement somewhere plainly.
Instead, when Scripture gives us the required confession, it gives us:
The Christ.
The Son of God.
Lord.
Raised from the dead by God.
So the burden is on the person making the stronger claim:
Show where Scripture itself makes the Trinity non-negotiable.
Not where the doctrine can be inferred.
Not where three are mentioned.
Not where a passage can be interpreted through later Trinitarian categories.
Where does Scripture actually say belief in the Trinity is a required boundary of Christian faith?
What is written?

“Just check the birth certificate." In Washington, that settles nothing.
Since 2018, a minor's birth certificate can be switched to male, female, or X with a parent's form and a signed note from a counselor or therapist. No age minimum. No legislator voted on it. No voter got a say. The Department of Health wrote the rule itself.
So when a boy claims to be elegible for the girls' team, the paperwork was already rewritten in Olympia to back that up.
Call it what it is: an idealogical and bureaucratic workaround that clears the way for boys in girls' sports."
Girls' sports deserve a standard a bureaucrat can't edit

Not a single Muslim-owned shop or mosque was looted during the riots in France.
On one street in Marseille, where 40% of the population is Muslim, ALL Jewish-owned businesses were set on fire, while not a single Muslim-owned business was touched.
The odds of that happening by random chance are 1 in 123 billion.
These were targeted pogroms. The rioters had lists of addresses identifying which shops to attack.

I’m a simple man so maybe someone can explain this to me.
Why aren’t the African and middle eastern men who are burning down Europe doing it in the place that gave them refuge rather than in the places that oppressed them?
Could it be that we are being told a total lie and there’s something else actually going on here?
Could that be true? I mean our politicians and mainstream media wouldn’t lie to us about stuff would they?

That particular moment when Victoria Nuland, in 2016, was bragging to the US Congress about how thoroughly Washington had taken over Ukraine after the 2014 coup.
She spelled it all out without shame:
🔴US operatives embedded in a dozen Ukrainian ministries.
🔴American-trained cops patrolling 18 cities.
🔴The US Treasury gutting 60 Ukrainian banks while sparing depositors to keep people quiet.
🔴Hundreds of millions of dollars funneled into molding Ukraine’s military.
Let's cut all the crap,this wasn’t "assistance", it was a takeover dressed up as aid.
"Unprovoked"
😂😂😂😂
