Hello,
My name is Jacob and I live in the Dallas / Fort Worth, TX area. My interests are theology, Christian History, and computer science. I chose MServetus as my username because of my great admiration for Michael Servetus, who was burned at the stake in 1553 by John Calvin for his rejection of the Trinitarian doctrine and infant baptism. Read the article on Michael Servetus here on Wikipedia.
I truly wish there were more critical thinkers like Servetus and Isaac Newton who were willing to question orthodoxy.
- "Whoever does not approach the true God of heaven and earth, cannot have entrance into heaven, because heaven is heaven from that one only God, and that God is Jesus Christ, who is Jehovah the Lord, from eternity the Creator, in time the Redeemer, and to eternity the Regenerator: of consequence, who is at once Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and this is the Gospel which is to be preached." ~Emmanuel Swedenborg (1688 - 1772).
- "The simple, indeed, (I will not call them unwise and unlearned,) who always constitute the majority of believers, are startled at the dispensation (of the Three in One), on the ground that their very rule of faith withdraws them from the world's plurality of gods to the one only true God." ~Tertullian, Against Praxeas
