Because I'm not willing to close my eyes and ignore the verses where Jesus and the Holy Spirit are clearly indicated as being God.

Those links are some of the sloppies Biblical interpretation I’ve ever seen and they solely rely on propping up an old tradition.

Saying that Jesus is God is illogical and inconsistent and it creates numerous scriptural contradictions.

If Jesus is God, wouldn’t it make sense that those words could be suitably substituted for each other?

If Jesus is God in one place, doesn’t he have to be God in all places?

If Jesus is not God in any single place, how can he be God in any other place?

Just asking.
