You were banned because you're being an ass, not because of any position you've held.
YOUR definition of "being an ass" (which wording alone - by the way - would get YOU banned from many other sites) is simply ME calling you out on your dishonest handling of me and my posts. If you treat me with respect, and don't throw around the weight of your imaginary authority here (this IS a virtual meeting place, mind you, it is NOT the REAL WORLD where you have NO power), you will have no problem with me at all. I treat with full respect those who treat me the same. I have no reason to conduct myself otherwise. You don't LIKE the Biblical information that I post so you in turn treat me dishonorably. If I post something, and you blatantly misrepresent what I've posted, I'm not gonna take that well. That is the equivalent of false accusations and LYING. And there's nothing I hate more than an outright LIAR. Be cool with me, I'll be more than cool with you.

The Truth of the matter is that God the Father actually IS Jesus Christ.
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matthew 24:36)
Please explain.
Jesus' abilities while in the flesh were limited, just as ours are. God humbled Himself, He made Himself less, when He incarnated. He had to be capable of temptation and failure in order to accomplish perfection in the flesh or else why even incarnate? Why not just show up on the scene and wipe out all evil? God had/has a plan and who are we to question that plan? He did what He did because that's what He did. It is what it is.

Jesus makes the case that it also purifies us spiritually, sanctifies us to Him and releases us from demonic influence, and even possession.
So Jesus didn't come to free us from the "curse of the law " (Gal 3:13) since he just introduced new laws.
That your point?
Fasting doesn't have anything to do with either. Jesus obviously expected His followers to fast since He said "When" you fast. Not if, not just in case you happen try it out, etc. He said "When". Do you see any particular Commandments to PRAY? Yet they ask Him how to pray and He tells them. Both prayer and fasting are obvious requirements for the Christian to live his/her best life of service. They help US, they serve US in our walk. Doesn't have to be a Commandment. That's a silly argument. Also, followers of the God of the Bible were fasting way back in the OT. So Jesus didn't introduce anything "NEW".

Actually, the Trinity is taught in the Scripture. Where might that trinity teaching be located?

Sorry but that just isnt true.
How can the Father speak to the Son if they are the same person? Easily. God is capable of every single thing you believe He is not. With God, anything is possible. Matt. 19:26 God is omni-everything. Jer. 23:24 How can the Son obey the will of the Father if they are the same person. Are you even trying here? That makes it very easy. Do you not obey your own will? How can God say on the Mount of Transfiguration "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased" if they are the same person. How can He not? Sorry. Jesus is certainly God, but He is not the Father Incarnate. He is the everlasting, ever-existing 2nd person of the Godhead incarnated in the hypostatic union as the theoanthropos, the God/man, Jesus.
Scripture is clear that there is an obvious person/subject distinction in the interactions of Father/Son/Holy Spirit.
You trins just don't get it. A Biblical concept does not even approach being sound until it "EXISTS IN SCRIPTURE". The entire Christendom world is awaiting the production of a passage, chapter or book from the inspired Word of God that contains ANY discussion WHATSOEVER about the dynamics of the concept of God being three people. Read carefully: It ... doesn't ... exist. On the contrary, there is MOUNDS of evidence for Christ being God Almighty. It is everywhere.

Christ is not a name, but a title.
Jesus/Yeshua is the name of the 2nd person of the Trinity. Christ/anointed one/Messiah is His title.
Holy Spirit/Spiritu Sanctus/ etc is the name of the 3rd person of the Trinity.
I am/YWHW/etc is the name of the 1st person of the Trinity. Jesus is clearly a Name. So interesting how so many people spout off all these specific details about the dynamics of the trinity when it is taught literally nowhere in Scripture. It's like me arguing with you that science can't be right about this claim or that because Chewbacca only wears specific weapon ammo belts across his chest and the Millennium Falcon is only capable of specific warp speeds in specific space-field scenarios. And looking at you with a completely straight face when I say it. Can you please provide any Scripture whatsoever that "TEACHES" a trinity concept, that explains how God is three people? Thanks. All of humanity will be pleased to see that.

The Name of God is Jesus Christ.

The Truth of the matter is that God the Father actually IS Jesus Christ.
The Bible is rock-solid on this Fact with verses from Isaiah 42-45 as well as many from the New Testament that testify to this Biblical Fact.
The Bible from Genesis to Revelation makes the case that Jesus Christ is not only God, but He is the Father Incarnate.

I'm not so sure about that last question.
Didn't ask any question.
Oh
Tell me about Mark 9.
Although I was of course referring to my own question.
Fasting is extremely beneficial to health, even to the point of curing diseases. Jesus makes the case that it also purifies us spiritually, sanctifies us to Him and releases us from demonic influence, and even possession.

For a moment there I was worried you had latched onto one word and run with it. Your intellectually dishonest approach and exacerbatory strategies have overstayed their welcome.
It's binity, by the way.
That's a shame. I guess you'll have to go back to being here all by yourself and chatting with your other sock-puppet User Names, ay? We could've had a lotta good conversations concerning Scripture. If you keep kicking everybody outta your site here, you're never gonna get it going like it could be. All this censorship nonsense really impedes the development of a lotta these sites. Hope you come to understand the Truth of the Scriptures. They are undeniable upon diligent study and observation. God bless. Oh, and twinity is a new trending name for Father and Son-only doctrine. I prefer it to binity. Sounds better and rhymes with the other false doctrine. Not that it matters, it's entirely unbiblical. Call it what you like.

Passionate agreement is always great to see.
Perverting my comments is not. God is one individual person. Not three. Christ is that person. No trinity. No twinity.

... Jesus, who is also God.
Jesus is the ONLY God. No also. Exod. 3:14 John 8:24 Isaiah 42:8 Isaiah 43:3, 10, 11, 14-15 Isaiah 44:7, 11-12, 15, 18, 21

Where are you connecting the fasting of Matthew 6:16 to demonic bonds and influence? Is this some loose connection to Mark 9?
But yes, fasting is a desirable practice.
Tell me about Mark 9. Jesus disciples struggled to cast a demon out of a child and consulted Jesus on the matter. To which Jesus rebuked the demon and cast it out of the child at once and said to His disciples, "... this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." Matthew 17:21

As your User Name is also an indication, you hold extra-biblical church fathers, authors and writings in high regard in your estimations of what is legitimate Biblical doctrine, and what is not.
I do not.
I like the name Athanasius because it starts with an 'A', and he was known as Athanasius contra mundum (Athanasius against the world). You like to think of yourself as contra ecclesiae, but I don't think the historical Titus would approve. Perhaps you're reading too deeply into names, hmm? It would be a shame for such a thing to be an ad hominem in place of a proper argument.
As it is, no, I don't hold Athanasius or any other ECF in especially high regard, or as determiners of what is legitimately biblical doctrine and what isn't. What you see as an 'indication' is little more than a mechanism for selecting usernames online.
And so, this is not second grade where we play 'greater than thou' on dubious grounds -- my dad can beat up your dad. You construct for yourself antagonistic contexts which is rather telling, disappointing, and insulating. But why take my word for it? I'm sure anyone else here could show you just how good a Catholic believer I am.
For me, the Bible is a self-contained work of God Almighty that adequately defines itself; and language research therein is also (usually) legitimate.
And yet you reply with an ad hominem. Tsk tsk.
I would also point out that your explanation did not uncover any signs of defining Godhead as a three-person god.
It's right here:
"Of course, we'll need to ask what "fullness of the Deity bodily" means. Clearly, this is an "indication"..."
The verse is just one consideration out of many verses.
I could've written that entire post minus the comment about your name and it had the exact same purpose and effect. You just latched onto a very small part of the post and ran with it. You have mentioned extra-biblical sources of varying kinds multiple times in the short time I've been here. That is where the sentiment came from. Your name is a non-issue. And no, you didn't address God being 3 people in that post at all. Deity means God. That's all it means.
'Fulness of the Deity bodily' means Jesus is fully God Almighty.And there is mounds of evidence within Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, to support that.
