That is a broad brush you paint with.

A broad brush? Yes, I intended and made a general statement. The majority of Christians believe that Christ is both God and man at the same time.

I am a Christian and do not believe Jesus is God. He is the Son of God, the earthy presence of God’s Word, conceived of the Holy Spirit and pure in His Divinity. He is of the Father and is His Father in the sense that so sayest the Word, so sayest His Son.

I have no doubt that you are a Christian. You are entitled to have your belief. There are Christians who believe that Christ is only God and only appeared to be a man while on earth. That is not the general belief of Christians, but I also think that they are entitled to their belief. And I don't call them non-Christian because they do not hold the majority view.

I was simply asking for clarity. Thank you.

I cannot agree that one who denies the deity of Christ is a Christian.

The man you reply to contradicts himself in his own statement: “I...do not believe Jesus is God....He is...pure in his divinity.”

The type of thinking he is iterating seems to be a spin off statement of one of the cults.

The Scripture unequivocally maintains the deity of Christ and the Holy Spirit.
