Bobsvainbabblings,

Unlike the near-deification of Mary from tradition, and which is a product of sola ecclesia, the deity of Christ is abundantly testified to in Scripture, and to that authority it owes its near universal acceptance by those who hold Scripture to be supreme, by the Spirit of God. http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/DEITYofCHRIST.html

daniel1212, I went to the link you provided. It basically stated you won't find Jesus claiming He is God but if you look real close, the Spirit of God will give you hints as to Jesus being God. That sounds more like the spirit of this world. Did God really say He sent a Son?

From the link;

This work, which is not exhaustive, documents the Divinity of Christ, that He is God, having the same nature of the Father (who is the Head: 1Cor. 11:3), possessing certain Attributes, Titles, and Glory that uniquely belong to God  

1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV 1900)

 

3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

This is what is usually describe as a organizational chart. They are used to show how things fit in an organization. This example shows where we, and His Christ, fit according to God The Father..

I am the head of my wife and family.

Christ is the head of me.

God the Father is the head of Christ.

They use a scripture that shows the Father above His Christ to prove they are equal. Does that make sense to you? It doesn't to me.

I then went to the home page; 

Welcome to Peace by Jesus

And we have seen

and do testify

that the Father

sent the Son

to be the Saviour

of the world

(1 John 4:14)

Do you believe this scripture? I do. It can't be any clearer. No matter how many hints you find elsewhere, you can't change the wording to say God sent Himself to be the savior of the world. 

Genesis 1:26-27

King James Version (KJV)

 

 26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

God the Father made Adam, and us, in His image and likeness as He did the Christ. Was Adam divine? Are we divine?

Would you please answer the question I asked in the post you responded to;

"Do you think a righteous God could condemn His creation, Adam and us, if He couldn't prove Adam and/or us could live a sinless life?"

May God the Father lead us to His truth, BVB
