Yes you are not alone in your belief that Jesus is fully God and fully man.To deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ is beyond the pale of orthodoxy.The common usage within Christianity for people who do this is "cultist".(Jehova'S Witness,Mormans,Christian Scientist}

S.Baptist,Methodist,Presbyterians and Lutherans would all agree with John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word and the word was wih God and the Word was God.

More name calling and faulty packaging. Where did you get the idea that I didn't believe in the Divinity of Christ?

If I ran a factory, and I decided to go to work as a common laborer so I could see what my employees went through, and I told all my board members and executives that I didn't want anyone to know that I was the owner, and I didn't want any interference or help from anyone, if I can't make it, then I'll know that I have put to much of a workload on them.

Now first off, I can't expect help that no one else gets, I have to work a full day, a full week. or month, what ever I had agreed on, now I am still the owner, still the boss, I could still hire and fire if I wanted to, but then I would have gone back on my word, and I never would have known if I could do the same job my employees do, or if I could even do it better.

Until my job is done, I am simply an employee, no more or no less.

I certainly favor the term "diety" over the word "divinity" because divinity means "of or like God" whereas "deity" means the state of BEING God."...but then I am a nit-picker at times......

Well, look what I stirred up. :-) Thank you and welcome aboard. Just a few short threads ago we had a guy telling us that the implied meaning was that the Word was a god. That is, though the Holy Spirit neglected to use an indefinite article in that place, we should read it as if He had.

Curiouser and curiouser.
