How do you want me to word it? :-)
Jesus is God? Yup.
Jesus is the God of the old testament? Yup.
When we refer to Jesus Christ, we're talking about God himself? Yup.
That's what scripture teaches and I agree with that. Do you?
Douglas, I’ve noticed that you have a very smiley way of deflecting and ignoring questions.
On another thread you posted very similar stuff, but then you issued crickets when asked more penetrating questions designed to ferret out the meaning of what you were saying. Care to answer them now?

I would say the scripture clearly teaches that Jesus is and was God himself. ....

Douglas clearly says that Jesus is God Himself and that Jesus was God Himself.
When GPH says
To be more accurate, Douglas DOES believe Jesus is a god...
***I just need to be sure that we’re not putting words in DKC’s mouth. Douglas said that Jesus is God Himself. Such words would qualify as a heresy in your average anti-trinitarian cult, so let’s hear from DouglasKc before I condemn him the way Christ condemns false teachers as ‘sons of satan’.
So, DouglasKC... is Jesus God (Jehovah) Himself?

“So, DouglasKC... is Jesus God (Jehovah) Himself?”
Again, be careful with this, because he will answer “yes,” but he won’t mean what we mean. He does not mean “Yes, Jesus is the second member of the Trinity,” he means “Jesus is one of many potential God entities, who are ‘one’ God by being in a covenant with each other, but not because they are a Trinity.”
The question isn’t a matter of “Do you believe Jesus is God?” It’s a matter of “Do you believe that you will become a God by joining the God Family?”

***Is that how you see it, DouglasKC? It would sure seem that your earlier responses are aimed at spiritual misdirection from your primary purpose of promoting an antitrinitarian viewpoint. Such a viewpoint is properly labelled as a heresy and condemned by Jesus as coming from ‘sons of satan’. I do not envy you if you’re promoting such a heres, but in the same breath it would appear that YOU are a Ravenous Wolf on Free Republic. So... let’s hear it...
