Would it be accurate to say that you do not believe Christ is God; you don’t believe in the divinity of Christ?

No, it would be inaccurate to make the statement you made in your question above. You apparently haven’t read the rest of my comments in this post, I thought I made myself clear but for you I’ll try again. God The Father who with His Son created Heaven and Earth has a name, it is Elohim. His Son who is also God has a name it is Jesus Christ, there is a third member of this group of gods that we call The Holy Ghost, we have no other revealed name for Him.

The three mentioned above are Gods, but there is one God we pray to, His name is Elohim, we worship and praise all three members of the Godhead but there is one of those members who is the leader and the others are subject to Him and do His will. God, The Father of our souls is God. God Jesus Christ is the very Son of God The Father and was begotten of The Father so that He is in fact The Son of God.

The God Jesus Christ has now inherited all the powers and dominions of His Father, there is nothing that His Father has that He doesn’t have, He is God.

God Jesus Christ agreed to come to earth, partake of what mortal life was, agreed to be subject to temptations, illness, pain and suffering. He did that but although subject to all those things resisted those things so that He was perfect. His literal Father of His flesh was Elohim, my God, your God and His God. Because He did as His Father asked, because He did not succumb to temptation He was perfect in mortality. Because He was the literal Son of God in The Flesh He was not killed but gave up His life, He gave up His spirit to His Father who gave it.

Because He was perfect even though He suffered all the pains and agony of every soul on earth He can offer to take the punishment that all the rest of us deserve.

One day we will all stand before the judgment seat of God The Father, even Elohim and He will judge us. It won’t be The Holy Ghost or even Christ Jesus we stand before but The very Eternal Father. When we are judged we will be found to be imperfect. Only perfection can abide with The Father, the punishment for imperfection is death and separation from God. Because many have tried to follow Christ, they have loved Him and considered themselves His, because of this and because He loves us He will stand before God the Father and say “You have already punished me, I stood in for him, he is mine”, and we will be His forever in the same place He is. More than that He says we will inherit everything that He has inherited.

Just as a prince inherits the throne of his father Christ inherits the throne of His Father. Christ has not had that throne forever but has inherited it, He has made that very clear, you don’t inherit something you already have.

The only name ever given us to gain salvation is Jesus Christ, we must love Him and follow Him to partake of that salvation. That salvation will not come by uttering a few words such as “I believe Christ is God”. It is not our belief that makes us acceptable to Christ for even Satan knows Christ is God the Son of God and it does him no good.

I try to follow Him to the best of my ability, I love Him and hopefully my actions and all that I do show that. Still I am far from perfection. I will need His grace that he has so unselfishly offered to me and others in order to live with Him and be His forever. I will be His like He is God The Fathers.

All that I have said is easy to find reference to in the Holy Bible, there are no stretches of the imagination to make the above words work, they are plain if you will read them.

It is hard to be succinct and brief, I hope I have succeeded.
