Jesus Christ is God

John 1:18 I totally agree with the English translation Con has quoted. It proves my point. The Son is God by nature for he is God himself.John 5:19The Father and the Son work together ( John 5:17). The role they have it different for they are two distinct persons. Authority ( functional subordination)The Father has authority over his own Son.It doesn't lessen his deity at all. Both are still God by nature.Consider this:President Barack Obama has authority over American people. Both are of same nature: human.Nature ( ontological equality)The Father begot the Son eternally ( Hebrews 1:2-7). The anthropomorphism conveys that they are of same nature. Consider this: My Dad is human by nature. I am his son. I am human by nature. ( Simple scientific reality of Genetics).Matthew 19:16-17The Son took on human nature ( John 1:14, Philippians 2:7). He's now one person with dual natures: divine and human. Hence, he has two minds: the divine mind and the human mind. The Son does not know the day and the hour of his return because he does not have an access to his divine mind at that time ( Mark 13:35, Acts 1:7). But after his resurrection, he was given all authority ( Matthew 28:18) that is why now he has an access to his divine mind to install all knowledge to his human mind in his glorified body ( Colossians 2:9). This is the reason wht in Colossians 2:3, it says that in Jesus lies, " all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."Colossians 2:9The fact is that " deity, god-head and divine nature" are synonymous terms. Therefore, whether which of the word is chosen for translating "theotetos" into English, it would still be on my side.

Furthermore, reading the context carefully shows that this Psalm in no way refutes the Deity of the Lord Jesus, or his function as Savior. The son of man in this particular Psalm is a reference to frail, mortal humanity collectively, that persons should not put their hope in mere mortals since they all die and fade away. Here is the entire Psalm in order to prove that this is what the Psalmist meant in context: "Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! I will praise the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have being. Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no help. When his breath departs he returns to his earth; on that very day his plans perish. Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith for ever; who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free; the LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. The LORD watches over the sojourners, he upholds the widow and the fatherless; but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. The LORD will reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!" Psalm 146:1-10 JOB 25:4 QUESTION: How then can man be justified with God? ASNWER: For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law ( Romans 3:28).QUESTION: can he be clean that is born of a woman? ANSWER: LUKE 1:28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” 34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” 35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. John 14:28Based on the definitions Con has given, only " eminence considerably above average ' fits the context of the said verse. Hebrews 1:3 supports this fact. The Son and his Father are of same nature ( ability and quality) but not in eminence because that is why the Father is called the First Person in the Trinity.CONCLUSION: I have given cogent arguments and rebuttals to all of Con's arguments and rebuttals. Shockingly, Con is reluctant to admit that he misunderstood my case. Con said: If Jesus was indeed God, then he would have gave himself all things, which is illogical, thus we can understand that Jesus throughout the Gospels he makes distinction between him and God, which clearly makes the words of Paul false.Everyone can see that Con's argument is an assumption of his case ( Unitarianism) imposed on the texts rather than refuting my case ( Trinitarianism). Therefore, it is his arguments that are truly weak and not mine.
