John 14:12,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Mark 10:17-18,
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God.
Do you have any verses on that? I couldn't find any.
2 Cor 3:18,
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Eph 1:19,
And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Eph 1:19,

John 14:12,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
John 17:3,
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Ever hear of an actor goring THROUGH his agent to get the part?
No such thing as "mere" man, let alone the only one who always obeyed God.
Gen 1:27,
So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Ps 8:5,
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Who gave it to Jesus, aka, God? Is there some other god who gave his powers to God? Maybe Zeus? I don't know. You tell me.
Something we all can't do? Chapter and verse please.
So I quoted about 6 verses that specifically calls Jesus a man. Do you have any that call him specifically God?
I also quoted a couple of verses that specifically say God is NOT a man. But Jesus is a man. So someone who is not a man is a man?
I found something from a trinitarian scholar you might find interesting:
"This statement by our Lord to the Jews clearly affirms His preincarnate state or preexistence as the eternal Son of God. It will be noted that Christ’s existence prior to becoming a human being is nowhere in Scripture argued as a doctrine, but is everywhere assumed and used as the basis of the doctrines of the incarnation, hypostaticunion and atonement for sin."
Nowhere in the actual scriptures does it say Jesus existed prior to becoming. But who needs scripture? Assumptions rule when it comes to trinitatian doctrine. Absolutely stunning admission! At least he was honest and didn't try twisting a few isolated verses to say it's actually in there. The funny part is that he went on for another 285 pages justifying this assumption. The jaws of tradition are powerful indeed.
By the way, he is not alone among trinitarian scholars who agree with him about the lack of actual scripture proving Jesus is Goactuallyd. Most non-scholars will never admit that fact. For most trinity comes first and the scriptures a distant second. But who needs scripture when we have Greek philosophy?
