Ok try this ....

Jesus Christ said that he was the “Son of God”.

I’m sorry if I take the Bible literally and you take it figuritively.

Well, I’m sorry that your exegesis of scripture consists of a single phrase. I actually do believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He’s also the second member of the trinity, as the scripture calls Him “Immanuel,” God with us:

Isa_7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

We are told quite explicitly that Christ is the Word, and the Word is both with God and is God. And that He created the heavens and the Earth, which we are told is what God did in the Old Testament:

Joh 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) The same was in the beginning with God. (3) All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Gen_1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

We also know that there is only one God, so Jesus cannot be a second God.

Isa_44:8 ... Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

So, you’re move, Kimosabi.

Immanuel means *God with us.*

Exodus 20:1-3 And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.

If Jesus is truly a separate god, how do you address this verse? By saying that you have to go through Jesus to get to God the Father, you are putting another god before Him.

If Jesus is God come in the flesh, then that isn't an issue.

Then take these verses literally.....

John 14:8-9 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

John 10:30 I and the Father are one.

Jesus is fleshly manifestation of God. God is a spirit.

The Bible also says God “has eyes everywhere”. Do you also take that literally? Do you think God literally has many eyes? Do you think he looks like an Irish potato?

I don't see GPH doing anything of that sort. As the Son of God, it is clear that this could not be of a carnal relationship as the LDS believes as God the Father is not some kind of Zeus

Secondly, the Gospel of John clearly indicates that in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word WAS God.

This reject the idea that He was created.

Too bad you do not do the same with MORMON scriture.

BTW; just WHICH 'bible' are you taking literally?

Jesus also said he was God teppe - yours isn't a biblical viewpoint - it is a mormon viewpoint which is contrary to that of Christianity and the bible.
