I have a question I was hoping to maybe get some answers on from non-Trinitarians. Here goes: Using scriptural proofs, what would you say is the difference between serving the man Jesus Christ and serving God? I ask because this question presents itself in the following passage of scripture:
22 Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. 23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as unto the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. Serve Christ the Lord. 25 But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality. (Colossians 3:22-25)
The Trinitarian interprets "the Lord" here to be one and the same in every verse, referring to the Lord Jesus Christ, whom Paul's readers were being encouraged to serve with sincerity of heart, in fearing God. The non-Trinitarian, however, interprets verses 22-24 to be references to serving God, whereas the phrase in v.24 "Serve Christ the Lord" is a sudden transition to talking about serving the man Jesus Christ.
So how from scripture is serving the man Jesus Christ different from serving God?
Blessings in Christ to all who respond.

Hello. I hope your doing well...
To be honest... I don't know the answer to your question... Nor do i understand the trinity...
Im ignorant before God and im not shy to admit it...
The biggest thing i don't understand is who Jesus was praying to in the garden before he got arrested...
Himself? Why would you pray to yourself? It makes no sense... Thats just one example where Jesus speaks to God or refers to him as a sperate entity. Then there is scripture that appears to support the claim that Jesus is God. So, i don't know for sure
