**"And the Word became flesh", It doesn't say dwelt in flesh. Jesus was the ushering of God into the flesh, But the scriptures say that he became flesh.**

That's your interpretation? That the flesh itself, that God inhabited, was a separate and distinct person of God?

So Jesus Christ didn't know what he was talking about in John 6:63?

Or John 4:23,24 where he said "God is a Spirit"?

"..God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.." 2Cor. 5:19

"..God annointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost (the Father in him doing the works, remember?), and with power (what? didn't he already have coequal power?)...for God was with him....Him God raised up.." Acts 10:38-40
The image died, deity cannot die.

God WAS manifest in the flesh (1Tim. 3:16); God, made visible.
Philip said, "Lord, shew us the Father.."
Jesus Christ said, "have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.." John 14:8,9

The Christ is the image of THE..INVISIBLE..GOD, not a separate and distinct, coequal member of a Godhead.

**Jesus is God.**

You're right about that, because of the Father in him. But God is not three persons.

Jesus said baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He also said " John 15:26 ¶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: John 16:7 ¶ Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you."

I never said, God is three persons, What I said was that There were three divine manifestations, Realms if I may, you obviously never read my original post, If you had you wouldn't be putting words in my mouth. Jesus existed before time, "In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the word was God, and the same was also with God." It was clear here that he was both part of God, and coexisted with God.
