There is but one God in multiple forms.

___________________________________________________

Let me say, everything I say are my beliefs. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, our beliefs don’t make it so and I realize that my beliefs don’t “make it so” but, I work hard to figure it out and follow Christ to the best of my abilities. I’ve been doing this for a very long time, I first started trying to figure out why the Holy Bible didn’t agree with the preacher in very early 60’s. With age often comes wisdom, I hope my understanding is true, I believe my understand is true but would never begrudge someone else their belief but I might be willing to point out what I think is obvious error.

And that is where the argument started. While it is true that John said that Christ and God The Father are one, He did not say they were the same. It is always dangerous to prove something with a snippet of Scripture. John also said in 17:21 that the Apostles must be one with Christ just as He (Jesus) is One with God The Father. So right away your argument using that verse is totally blown away. Later Christ says that all the Saints must be one with Him(Christ) just at He (Christ) is one with The Father.

There is only one Queen Elizabeth of England on earth right now but her son, the idiot, I mean Charles is also Royal. There is only one “God”, God The Father, Elohim. Christ Jesus is His Son and also Divine. While I realize many people pray to God The Father, to Jesus Christ and even to The Holy Ghost and some pray to the Saints, I personally believe that we are instructed in the Bible to pray to God the Eternal Father and do it in the name of Jesus Christ.

Would it be accurate to say that you do not believe Christ is God; you don’t believe in the divinity of Christ?
