to see something beautiful of God’s creation ..and say “my God”...is certainly not in vain. You are so lost in your mind that you cannot see the reality and commonsense of Jesus and the very simplicity of his being.

Sir, I have offered a full lexicon study, at your disposal now, of the use of theos. Me and many others have presented coherent arguments and posed questions that go unanswered. Perhaps you and I today in the 21st century, and alas in the 20th as well may say "My God" when we are surprised, overjoyed or in the case of my dear father when he accidentally hammered his thumb instead of a nail. However, in 1st Century Judea and Galilee, no way did observant Jews blurt "My God!" especially having first said "My Lord" and then "My God." Perhaps if you have another NT example of someone getting surprised and using "theos" to express the emotion would help you. Keep searching.

Again, the lexicon provided for "theos" has a very limited array of terms to choose from. Take a look at that post again and choose one, come back and let me know why you chose what you did.

Perhaps back off on the invective a bit too as it is not a very good debating skill. In fact the use of invective denotes retreat.

It doesn’t really matter..as I wrote earlier and you are in denial about...fact...if you line up all scripture that shows Jesus as the son of God and God’s subservient, many of which are directly from his own words..and you have another line of scripture that seems to show Jesus as God...somehow...the scriptures that show the former are far far more numerous and clearly descriptive, not nebulous, in comparison to the other line. Fact. Match, game..done.

truth seems like “invective” when you have a huge ego.
