I’ll point this out again as I did a long time ago on the Mormon threads.

They also like to claim that Jesus is not God Himself but rather a separate entity from God the Father.

However, following that line of reasoning, that Jesus is not God Himself, forces the one believing into the position of breaking the first commandment found in Exodus 20.... I am the Lord your God. You shall have no other gods before me.

If Jesus is not God Incarnate, but rather a separate entity, them to claim that to get to the Father through Jesus Christ puts another god between, or before, the Father.

If Jesus IS God Incarnate, God with us, then the first commandment remains unbroken.

So those who deny the deity of Christ are in effect demanding and teaching others to break the first commandment.

I don’t think that’s going to work out so well for them.
