It's nice to know that a guy like you armed with an interlinear bible with absolutely no training in Greek or Hebrew and a copy of Strongs is more qualified to interpret the scriptures than all the Hebrew and Greek scholars in the Catholic and Protestant churches who have lived over the past 2000 years.

Your sarcasm is noted.

Do you really think that one must attend a seminary to understand the Bible?

If the concordances, interlinears, etc aren't for the lay person then what good are they?

I was under the impression that Martin Luther shattered the elitist notion that only the Chosen Few could read and interpret God's will for us....but maybe I was wrong?

Funny how you saw and defended the clarity of the verse in Leviticus as being solid, clear, and straight forward enough to possibly adjust your thinking but now you can't or won't.

Look at the many differences between Jesus and God.

Now if someone wants to claim that Jesus has divine blood because of his miraculous conception (you do agree with me on that, don't you?) and that his blood never mixed with humans descended from Adam then I can't argue with you. That pure, innocent blood is the only means by which our sins could be cleansed and forgiven.

Again, this IS NOT what the Bible says. Read Genesis 3:15, it says HER seed, that means the Blessed Virgin Mary. Read the first chapter of the Gospel of Saint Luke. Our Lord Jesus Christ was born of His mother and carried in her womb and He takes His humanity from her.

Look at the many differences between Jesus and God.

Paul identifies Jesus Christ as the creator of all things. John identifies Jesus Christ as the person to whom Moses spoke on Mt. Sinai. John in Revelation identifies Jesus Christ as the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega and The Almighty.

Clearly Jesus is God. The Father is God and the Holy Spirit is God. As wagglebee noted, Matthew 28:19 notes that Baptism is in the Name (singular) of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (plural). The first verse of the Bible identifies God as both singular and plural.

You accuse others of not looking at the plain verses that somehow identify Jesus as not being the Eternal God, but there are dozens of verses which clearly and unequivocally identify his Divinity and his co-eternal deity with the Father.

You just choose to ignore those verses.

Now if someone wants to claim that Jesus has divine blood because of his miraculous conception (you do agree with me on that, don't you?) and that his blood never mixed with humans descended from Adam then I can't argue with you.

It seems you believe in Jesus as some kind of Chimera (half god/half man), but the Bible describes Jesus as 100% Man and 100% God.
