Do you know that Jesus died? It’s how we know he is not God.

Psalm 110:1 Complete Jewish Bible 110 (0) A psalm of David: (1) Adonai says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”

For obvious reasons, you are pretending the Word became flesh in John 1 is any different than any prophet who ever lived. Also, for obvious reasons, you are pretending the Word becoming flesh means God became flesh.

mark 14:61-62 The messiah. The Big Reveal of Jesus’ ministry.

Not in John 1

Well said! My thoughts exactly!

There really is no mystery to nonsensical contradictions. Jesus’ own explicit statement is that he has a God (John 20:17), and Jesus’ God is the only true God (John 17:3).

What bothers me so much is trinitarians make their doctrine - wholly absent from Scripture - to be THE requirement for salvation. It does not seem to trouble them in the least that if this most important belief is true, that God would not find it appropriate to make it as explicit as possible...

What a surprise, just ignore explicit verses that go against your doctrine. What in the world makes you think Isaiah 9:6 applies to Jesus?

Trinitarians resort to ignoring or subordinating explicit teachings in Scripture to inferences (reading their doctrine into the non-trinitarian text), dualism and mystical artificial synthesis. Thus, definition, logic and language usage are their enemies at every turn.

You are confounding different things. Yes, All of the scripture fits together. 'For us, there is one God, the Father.' 1 COR 8:6, a stronger anti-trinitarian statement is hard to imagine. From this perspective and Jesus own words, you have to look at John 1:1 - Jesus’ own explicit statement is...

It is mind numbing to me also. The trinitarians mental gymnastics are amazing! Not only is Jesus obviously a man, the proof that he is NOT God is that Jesus died. This is proof text that Jesus is not God, since God is eternal, as you have pointed out so well. In another thread the response was...

Regarding the OP's question, 'Is Christ God?' The answers should be no or yes. The title Christ means Messiah which means Anointed. Jesus is anointed by God. Being the Son of God, means he is 'of God' which is how you know he is not God. Although 'of God' means Jesus is divinely appointed...

Great point!! If Jesus were God incarnate who merely took on the form of a man and only appeared to die, it has no theological significance at all, for God is all powerful and can do anything. 1 Timothy 2:5 (NLT) There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man...

Now you are just re-stating your position, which severerly compromises Scripture. Jesus explicitly said that he has a God (John 20:17) and Jesus’ God is the only true God (John 17:3). That's good enough for me.

Circular Reasoning. You are leading with your conclusion, make an unwarranted assumption, then pretend the words God spoke were spoken by somebody else. Who said "This is my son in whom I am well pleased?" It was not Jesus speaking these words, the words of God. The word became flesh, not...

Jesus most certainly is inferior to God! Jesus died. God did not. Jesus did not so love the world that he gave God! But God so loved the world that he gave his procreated Son, only begotten at the time. How else do you explain 1 COR 11:3? And Jesus himself admitting God knows more than he and...

Agreed but again, not relevant to what I was saying is irrevelant. Regardless of "new life" or [the Greek word egertheénai, which has to do with restoring someone's life rather than improving their quality of life], it is alignment with 3 days that matter.

In the Complete Jewish Bible, YWH is spelled out as Adonai. I did not realize the term applied to other lords. For instance Ps 110:1 reads ‘Adonai said to my lord.’

My take on the time interval was so man would have the benefit of all this time to be convinced we cannot be holy on our own.
