> Let us look at the gramamtical construction. Since "God" is set off by commas, could not the statement have the potential to mean that it is Christ that is "supreme"?
I believe this is precisely the foundation of Christendom and is part of the Trinity. Obviously, you do not have to agree with it. I don't see why this person should not be able to express their beliefs in such a way that is neither unsupportive nor coercive. It is true that people whom are dedicated to promoting hate and resentment often find fodder for accomplishing their goals by perverting the tenets of various religions. For example, are not the Jews the Chosen People? What about those whom God has not chosen? Shouldn't they feel extremely subjugated and put-down?
I don't know. That Faith board can be a minefield or a garden. Avoid the mines and enjoy the flowers.
