Re: Thomas Deretich and Name-Worshipping

I was only trying to highlight how all the story is vague and how the definition that name-worsshippers gave to their doctrine might have changed. First they might have focus alone on the word Jesus and after this, they might have changed their opinion for a more acceptable new definition.
