So did Isaiah call Jesus the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, or not? Or do you just prefer to call me names?

Ok, I’ll bite...what name did I call you?

I know your tactic. It is to divert from your uncomfortable situation to something else. Problem is it doesn’t work.

Start with some fundamentals. Most scripture says exactly what it means where it sits with little help from greek or aramaic texts. Most.

Also, some of us believe that there are no contradictions in God’s Word, perhaps some in the KVJ being that is a version of a translation of a copy of texts. Apparent contradictions either lie in the translation or our understanding.

If Jesus is God as you claim, then there are oodles of contradictions that cannot be explained away with any Biblical integrity or intellectual honesty.

The Bible describes God as the Creator, as invisible spirit, as not being a man nor the son of man, as being in capable of being tempted.

The Bible describes Jesus as being created, visible, physical in form, a man and son of man, and tempted in all ways as we are.

The Bible CLEARLY says that God is one and that there is one God. Clearly.

So any implication that God is three or has three aspects is un Biblical.

God is God and the Father of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is not God but sits at the right hand of God.

Jesus prayed to and obeyed God.

God sent Jesus, not Himself.

God did not die on the cross, nor did he raise Himself from the dead to sit at his own right hand...God did not talk to himself when he said that this is my begotten son in whom I am well pleased.

If one cannot understand the fundamentals then one is not in a position to move to more advanced understanding.

It makes no logical sense at all to discard the hundreds of clear verses that describe God as the Creator and Jesus as his son in order to accept the handful that appear to say something else.

Any verses that appear to describe Jesus as God are either misunderstandings on the reader’s part or translation errors.

Are there similarities between God and Jesus? Of course, but are they identical? No.

If you are not going to believe that there is one God and one mediator between men and God, the man Christ Jesus, then there is no point in playing games with you.
