Christians believe the Scriptures make the case that Jesus Christ is full man and full God.

If you believe the Scriptures do not make this case, you should state why that is and provide your evidence to support your claim.

I know of very few Christian denominations that agree with you.

No, true Christians still have their commonsense and see clearly that Jesus is the Son..period. There are far far more clear Scriptures that show that rather than him being God. Fact. Not even close.

I don’t see agreement with a majority as necessarily a virtue or confirmation of anything as Jesus said the road leading off into destruction was broad and full.

In the past I’ve devoted much space to “making my case” from the Scriptures and find that for the majority their beliefs will trump the Scriptures every time, for instance the use of the term “God the Son”, whereas neither Jesus nor anyone else ever referred to Him as “God the Son” but time after time as “Son of God”, quite a different thing.

“Full God”? Jesus himself hakes the case that in every way, power, authority, knowledge, he is inferior to and subordinate to his father but his simple Scriptural teaching will be blandly dismissed with the argument that was only while Jesus was at the same time “full human”.

Of course Jesus made no such distinction so it must be a “mystery”,

So let those who attempt to turn the Scriptures up-side-down, “God the Son” vs. “Son of God” make their case against the Scriptures. I’ll be happy to examine the Scriptures with them one Scripture at a time.
