..He also said no one is good except for God. But the scriptures also state that he is God.
The answer could be that is that he is now exalted to God hood and wasn't before the crucifixion.


Firstly, some scriptural interpretations and guesses may possibly suggest Jesus was God, but other more plain scriptures indicate plainly indicate that he wasn't God.
Secondly- if he became God after the crucifixion, why did Stephen see Jesus and God as two separate entities?..;)
Stephen said- “Look, I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” (Acts of the Apostles 7:6)

Because there are three distinct persons in the Godhead

Firstly, some interpretations of the scriptures may or may not suggest Jesus was God, but other scriptures are far clearer and indicate he wasn't God..:)
Secondly, if he only became God after the crucifixion, why did Stephen see Jesus and God as two separate entities?-
"Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” (Acts of the Apostles 7:55-56)

Ah so we agree that God was never a carpenter.
Therefore Jesus couldn't have been God..:)
This is your reply?
Don't worry, I didn't expect anything more than I've received..

I could even go further and suggest that anybody who thinks God worked in a carpenter's shop for 29 years making tables and chairs is disrespecting and demeaning God..;)

You double posted. Is that for emphasis?

According to the website SOF, Jesus IS God..

One sentence in SOF clearly states "We believe Jesus was the Son of God", but if you're saying other parts say he was God, perhaps the SOF needs to be re-written to clarify things..:)

Jesus is the Son of God. That makes him no less deity.

On a thread about people who argue against the deity of Christ being in violation of the rules you are arguing against the deity of Christ.

Like I've said, part of the SOF says Jesus was the Son, and other parts say he was God himself, so which part of the SOF is correct?..;)

Sorry, the forum software must have glitched, it's plastered with so many annoying popup adverts that we sometimes can't see the wood for the trees..:)

They are both correct and you know this. The Son of God is God in the flesh

How can something that says Jesus wasn't God, and something that says he was God both be correct?..:)
That reminds me of when somebody once asked Isaac Asimov "What would happen if an irresistible force met an immovable object", and Asimov replied "The question is illogical and therefore requires no answer"..:)

His title Son of God does not mean he wasn't God. Nowhere in the SOF does it say Jesus is not God

As Christians, you, me and all other CB members are sons and daughters of God, but that doesn't mean we are God, it simply means we have the holy spirit in us, but Jesus had it to a much greater degree..:)
"..to those who believed in Jesus's name, he gave the right to become children of God, children born not of natural descent, but born of God" (John 1:12-13)

John 1:18 KJV
[18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

I believe the apostle John.
How about the burning bush or the dove descending on Jesus? Anyways, you believe one scripture and ignore the many that state otherwise. There must be some different way to interpret that. Not to mention the scripture you are quoting is probably past tense. And is more stating that no one has seen the Father in person except Christ.

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

Internet discussion forums, where a popular pastime is accusing those who don’t agree with us of ignoring scripture.

When I was still teaching I required all of my students - trinitarians and non-trinitarians - to do something which all of my students - trinitarians and non-trinitarians - hated to do: spend one hour per week on an internet discussion forum (from a pre-approved list containing three options which students were free to choose from, additional forums could be substituted with my approval) and keep a journal on their activity. My students - trinitarians and non-trinitarians - complained bitterly and it wasn’t long before they began calling it “the gutter assignment”.
