And so, one-by-one, every Trinitarian proof-text which people like Kevmo might offer up is found not to say what they claim. Nor does the Bible ever authorize Kevmo to declare, in Jesus Name, anybody a "God Damned Heretic".

Col 1:19 and 2:9 clearly and emphatically state the FULLNESS of the Godhead dwells in Christ in bodily form.

If the FULLNESS of the Godhead dwells in Jesus Christ, then how much more of the Godhead needs to dwell in Him for Him to be considered God?

GarySpFc: "Col 1:19 and 2:9 clearly and emphatically state the FULLNESS of the Godhead dwells in Christ in bodily form.

FRiend, that same "fullness" is found in Ephesians 3:19, where it refers not to Jesus but to all Christians.
Surely you would not suggest this means that all Christians are also God Himself?

FRiend, the key to understanding here is realizing that, first and foremost, New Testament writers were all Jews, and while they certainly believed in Christ's divinity, they would, as Jews, in no possible way compromise the Oneness of God.
If that creates certain theological problems, I would suggest those can well remain unanswered, since obviously nobody knows enough to more concretely define God.
