The godhood of Christ Jesus is Biblical

You're welcome. I agree entirely with what Colossians 2:9 tells us, but what it doesn't tell us is that Christ is God; a god yes, but not God himself. The same goes for the description, which fits not only God and his son, but also the whole body of angels. Exodus 15:11 ASV(i) 11 Who is like unto thee, O Jehovah, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders? It would appear that for much of the rest you rely on the words of man, not of God. However whilst I agree entirely with the scriptures you quote, I cannot agree with your understanding of all of them Whilst it is true that holy spirit is personified a number of times in scripture, that is no more evidence that it is a person than it is for "Wisdom", Blood or Water, all of which are personified at some point. However let us examine John 1:1; there are in fact two translations of this verse in existence: John 1:1 ASV(i) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 Diaglott(i) 1 In a beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the God, and a god was the Word. The interesting thing to me, though about above quotation from the Emphatic Diaglott is that it betrays the deliberate alteration of the verse. http://studybible.info... have used the interlinear portion of the Diaglott for their quotation from it, but if you check the actual original you will find that whilst the Interlinear column actually does say that, the English only column of the same work has been altered to "In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God". http://archive.org... The ultimate question has to be, why the deliberate change? Scripture should never be changed in such a way as to alter the meaning away from the original. Other versions of the same verse are: Other variations of rendering John 1:1 also exist: 1966, 2001 The Good News Bible reads: "...and he was the same as God." 1970, 1989 The Revised English Bible reads: "...and what God was, the Word was." 14th century - Wycliffe's Bible (from the 4th-century Latin Vulgate) reads: "In the beginning was the word, and the word was at God, and God was the word. 1956 The Wuest Expanded Translation reads: "In the beginning the Word was existing. And the Word was in fellowship with God the Father. And the Word was as to His essence absolute deity"[8] 1808 "and the Word was a god" - Thomas Belsham The New Testament, in An Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Archbishop Newcome"s New Translation: With a Corrected Text , London. 1864 "the LOGOS was God, This was in the Beginning with God" A New Emphatic Version (right hand column) 1864 "and a god was the Word" (left hand column interlinear reading) The Emphatic Diaglott by Benjamin Wilson, New York and London. 1867 "In the beginning was the gospel preached through the Son. And the gospel was the word, and the word was with the Son, and the Son was with God, and the Son was of God" - The Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible. 1935 "and the Word was divine" - The Bible"An American Translation, by John M. P. Smith and Edgar J. Goodspeed, Chicago. 1955 "so the Word was divine" - The Authentic New Testament, by Hugh J. Schonfield, Aberdeen. 1978 "and godlike sort was the Logos" - Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Johannes Schneider, Berlin. 1822 "and the Word was a god." - The New Testament in Greek and English (A. Kneeland, 1822.); 1863 "and the Word was a god." - A Literal Translation Of The New Testament (Herman Heinfetter [Pseudonym of Frederick Parker], 1863); 1885 "and the Word was a god." - Concise Commentary On The Holy Bible (R. Young, 1885); 1879 "and the Word was a god." - Das Evangelium nach Johannes (J. Becker, 1979); 1911 "and the Word was a god." - The Coptic Version of the N.T. (G. W. Horner, 1911); 1958 "and the Word was a god." - The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Anointed" (J. L. Tomanec, 1958); 1829 "and the Word was a god." - The Monotessaron; or, The Gospel History According to the Four Evangelists (J. S. Thompson, 1829); 1975 "and the Word was a god." - Das Evangelium nach Johannes (S. Schulz, 1975); 1962, 1979 "'the word was God.' Or, more literally, 'God was the word.'" The Four Gospels and the Revelation (R. Lattimore, 1979) 1975 "and a god (or, of a divine kind) was the Word" Das Evangelium nach Johnnes, by Siegfried Schulz, G"ttingen, Germany All of which presents us with a dilemma. Which version is right. Trinitarians opt for the "accepted version", but who is it accepted by. Trinitarians of course, who are behind most scripture translation. However, some of the above were also Trinitarians, so why did they decide on the versions they use? Scripture contains the only reliable answer. Revelation 3:14 ASV(i) 14 And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God: Notice there that God's son is described as "The beginning of the creation by God". That makes him the first act of creation by Jehovah, the creator of everything. Scripture state the rule that at the mouth of two witnesses or three, all matters are proven, so, does anyone other than the Angel who spoke to John tell us that God's son, who came to earth to become the Christ, was created. Well, think on this scripture and think carefully about what it tells you. Colossians 1:12-16 ASV(i) 12 giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; 13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; 14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins: 15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him; Firstly that scripture is giving thanks to Jehovah, not to Christ. Then it thanks him for what? "who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love". Not his Kingdom you notice, but the Kingdom of the son of his love. Who "translated us"? Not the son, but the father. It goes on to say in verse 15 "who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation" So what is the son? The image of God, not God himself. What else does that tell us? "That he is the firstborn of all creation "which does rather fit in with Revelation 3:14. Well, there are your two witness as scripturally required to prove any matter. Of course some say that his being called "firstborn" in that verse applies to his pre-eminence. Of course it does, any firstborn, whether literally born or created, has pre-eminence, as did Adam. So, his pre=eminence is simply a result of his being God first, and only solitary, creation. Why God's ony solitary creation? Well, think about Genesis 1: 26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." "Let us make man in Our image", who else would he be talking to other than the one who was already made in his image, his son. Well, the Colossians 1 scripture quoted above goes on to tell us in verse 16 "for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;" More later.
