Please see A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians.

No, I have no reason to suppose that. Peter was just the first person to answer Jesus' question “But who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15). That doesn't mean that he was the only one of the 12 disciples that believed that.

No it's not! The angels in the days of Noah took on the form of a man but they are no longer a man - and they are not God. Likewise we when we are resurrected we have the promise of God giving us an immortal spirit being nature, just like He gave to Jesus, but that does not mean we will become...

That reveals Jesus as the Messiah, the sacrifice that God provided, but it doesn't reveal Jesus as the Son of God, which is what the demons referred to him as, although Jesus was trying to keep that fact under wraps at that time: Mark 3:11-12 (WEB): (11) The unclean spirits, whenever they saw...

Jesus is no longer a man. We will be like him, as he is now, when we (Christians) are resurrected (1 John 3:2), having the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). As I said, the story of Joseph is a type, pointing forward to the future when God (Pharaoh) will share His throne with His Son Jesus (Joseph)...

Consider the Old Testament type Joseph. In the type Pharaoh represents God, Joseph represents Jesus and Egypt represents the whole world. Genesis 41:40-43 (WEB): (40) You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than...

Who revealed that to you? Jesus said Peter was blessed because God revealed to him who Jesus really was: Matthew 16:15-17 (WEB): (15) He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” (16) Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (17) Jesus answered him...

However, the Scripture verses I quoted werre not pitted against other verses. I quoted them in regard to your statement, "I still believe Jesus was God. ... and anyone who doesn’t believe it should not be a teacher". The verses I quoted were to indicate that the apostle Paul did not believe...

I was simply quoting Scripture to explain why I answered "yes". It was not a desperate attempt to try and make God's word to us say something other than it actually says. I quoted what it says, mentioning the translation that I was quoting from. Your mixing of English and Hebrew on the other...

Yes. John 10:29 (WEB): (29) My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. ... John 14:28 (WEB): (28) You heard how I told you, ‘I go away, and I come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the Father is greater than I.

Or should that be, 'God's word was manifested in Jesus'? See .

When someone responds with "Blah, blah blah", it makes me think of that person covering their eyes and ears and refusing to take notice of what was written, because they know it suggests that their understanding is wrong. Also saying, "Arguing verses against other verses" as though that is...

Yes, sorry, that was a slip of the finger (or force of habit). I should have typed "Jesus is a god to us". I'll edit the post to correct it. Actually, in that passage, he referred to himself as "the Son of God" rather than "a god" (verse 36)! He was denying that he was God. The Jews wanted...

That means you're stating that the apostle Paul (and Peter and John) should not have been a teacher. And yet Jesus chose him to be an apostle: Acts 20:24 (WEB): (24) ... the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God. Paul also wrote...

I don't think it does! No, it tells us that those Christians that have already died will be resurrected first. It says nothing about those still alive having to wait until they die before they are resurrected. No, it is saying that very soon after the dead in Christ have been resurrected...

Don't forget that the book of Revelation is full of symbols. Later verses say, Revelation 21:9-10 (WEB): (9) One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb’s...

I think that you have made a mistake at step one! The 144,000 are on the earth, not in heaven. Revelation 7:1-4(WEB): (1) After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or...

Did you really find that personally insulting? Why are people so sensitive nowadays? Even if you felt insulted, remember what Jesus taught: Matthew 5:39 (WEB): (39) But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Any new revelation/teaching has to be confirmed by the written Scriptures, otherwise it should not be fully believed. Acts 17:10-11 (WEB): (10) The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue. (11) Now these were...

Or as it says in Proverbs 4:18 (WEB): (18) But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day. This implies that knowlege of the truth of God's word should increase as we get closer to God's Kingdom being established.
