I will ask the same question no one has bothered to answer from your camp. If Jesus Christ is not God, then what is His Nature? Is He a “demigod”, “higher creatED Being.” Do tell. It seems folks say “He is not God” but never say what He is.

*************************************************
He is the Christ and Messiah.

He is the only begotten Son of the Father,just as the Scripture states. He is the one sent by God to restore men to right standing with God thru belief in him. Thru belief in Him we can be Born Again. He is the Messiah, Redeemer, Savior but not the Father himself. And He never claimed to be.

Thru Him we can become adopted Sons of God.

********************************************

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

John 10:

“I and my Father are one.”


John 14:

[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
[7] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
[8] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
[9] Jesus saith unto him, 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; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
[10] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
[11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
