Jesus was NOT God

His efforts and obvious commitment toward his beliefs are impressing and I wish more youth would fight for and show more interest toward what they believe in. Here are my closing statements/arguments. No believer can truly be a Christian unless they have faith. (Hebrews 11:1)- Now Faith is the substance of all things hoped for and the evidence of all things unseen. Without Faith, it is impossible to please God. Without it, it is impossible to even believe in Him. That Faith that every Christian has was dealt to them as the size of a grain of a mustard seed. As we progress and go further in our Christian walk, we build on that Faith. This Faith is more importantly used to believe in God and His Word. Believe that His Word is a guide to live by and follow. That it will not lead us astray. Sort of like in school. When your teacher hands you a history book. Looking through it, you find out something new every time you flip through the pages. Do you question if the material is accurate? When your teacher gives you a quiz on chapters 6-8, do you try and find inconsistencies or fallacies in the literature? I highly doubt it, sure you may find a grammar mistake here or there, but the inflrmation being given, we must assume it's the truth. How can we say otherwise, we weren't there when Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation and we weren't there when the Japs struck Pearl Harbor, but someone was. And they were sure to record the event in some form of documentation because they were told to or felt compelled to do so. Thats all the Holy Bible is. God ordained certain prophets and others to record certain happenings and other events and words of encouragement as a tool for His children to use. With that being said, there is no need to address every "misquote, Or misrepresented" verse my opponent has claimed to be in error, because if by Faith, you believe that The Holy Bible is God's Word, then it has to be perfect and without flaw because God is perfect and without flaw. "My opponent has misquoted the verse. Ot plainly says "[t]this generation. Elijah and Enoch were not part of that generation. I am so glad my opponent brought up the Elijah story as it opened up a new can of beans" I never said that Elijah and Enoch were a part of Hesus's generation. I was simply imsinuatin that if we only knew of 2 cases where people had ascended into Heaven without dieing, what are the chances of there being more that have done so without us knowing. The odds lean more toward there bein a case where someone did. "John 3:13ï¿½ And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Clearly, that verse contradicts the possibility of ELIJAH being brought up into heaven. " Since you're such a fan of taking scripture literally an for what's on the cover, not the inside, you should be a fan of this one. It clearly says that no man has ascended to Heaven but the Son Of Man(Jesus). I made a mistake in terminology. To ascend biblically is to go into Heaven on your own power, which is what Jesus did. Elijah, Enoch and Mary(now that I remember) were all assumed(taken by God to Heaven). Mary was assumed in body and spirit, Elijah was taken in a whirlwind, chariots of fire, and Enoch was just assumed(thats all the scripture says). So thus this scripture is valid when it says that no man but the Son of Man hath ascended into Heaven, because Elijah, Enoch and Mary were all assumed. "Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. amein. Even so come Lord Jesus. I. e. "Surely I come without delay. .. " and it has been 2,000 year delay. " All I can say to this is that God's time is not our time. He is much more patient than us. And we don't necessarily know what time is like to him. 1 day might be like 100 years(Earth) to him. So soon may be like 2000+ years to Jesus, who are we to say otherwise? Why vote con: 1)I have pinpointed specific scriptures(and provided proof of their validity) where Jesus is established as the Son of God. And therefor by the term Trinity is God. 2)I have shown that God cannot sin or lie and is perfect which why when Jesus was on Earth, he never lied, or sinned(which refutes every scripture my opponent has misinterpreted and claims that Jesus is lieing). 3)I have refuted the very basis of my opponent's argument.
