    As a new believer when I was young, I was so happy to know God's love for me, and yet very soon it dawned on me that Christ was God. I was fearful that I misunderstood what I was seeing in scripture. I then comfirmed this with others and was flabbergasted that such a truth was not taught as it should be.

      I am sorry to tell you, it isn't true. You were taught the Trinity, not the scriptures. I hope you can see how this isn't true.
      Jesus is the Son of God. He is the second being referred to in Genesis 3:22. Jesus is called a Moring Star in Revelations 22:16, in the same order as Lucifer. He is a God that bears the Devine Name, or rather the name of the Father.
      John 1:1 that is often referenced as proof that Jesus is God, is translated wrong. This mistranslation is intentional to support a creedal belief in the Trinity. Look at the Greek. Theon is God, Theos means what God possesses, or Godlike. The correct translation that Bible Scholars mostly agree on is this "In the beginning was the Word. And the word was with God and the Word was Devine." That is a lot different than the Word was God... Completely different meanings. With this correct translation you see that the Word, Jesus Christ was not God but rather Like God and given Devine power.
      Of course he possesses godly attributes. He bears God's Name, the divine manifestation of God, acting in God's name to perform God's Work.
      Read the Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen in Matthew 21:33-46. Who is the son they killed? It's Jesus Christ. Who is the owner? It's God the Father. Different people.
      I am sorry, but Christianity doesn't believe the Bible. They believe the creeds and use the Bible to support their belief. They believe in he philosophis of men mingled with scripture. A bastersized version of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, fit to mans preferences.
      No where does Jesus ever state that he is God. Jesus was from the beginning with God. He is the God of the Old Testament. The Great I Am is Jesus. "I Am" means the redeemer, Savior, liberator.
      John 17, Jesus explains from his own mouth his relationship with God. Jesus stands at the right hand of God in Stephen's Vision. Jesus is the chosen Son of God. Jesus is the only rightful heir of God. Jesus becomes our father so that through him we can become heirs of God.
      This idea that Jesus is another form of God is not monotheism, it is Transmorphism, no different than the Hindu Sheba. It's an abomination.
      Jesus being God makes no sense in relation to the mission of Christ, is inconsistent with the Bible, and leads people away from the fullness of the Father, the Gospel that he has to deliver to you. You have been led astray by the cunning arts of the adversary.

      I am concerned that those professing to be Christians really are not, they are Trinitarians which is a different gospel than Jesus and His apostles preached. I do need to ask though, what does the last 2000 years of theology have to do with anything? The last 2000 years of theology is uninspired rhetoric compared to the voice of Jesus Christ, the Prophets, and the Apostles. I am concerned that you, and others are putting the theology of men above the Biblical Record and you are not truly studying the Bible but reading those philosophies into the Bible, trusting in your preacher rather than God and the Holy Spirit.
      I invite you to read the Gospels again with an open mind, seeking the inspiration of the Holy Spirit on this matter. Praying that God will reveal the true nature of the Godhead.

      First, the doctrine of the incarnation teaches that Jesus “emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:6-7, ESV). Thus, “for a little while” (Hebrews 2:9), the Father was greater in glory and exaltation.

    Meta AI
    Yes, that statement is fair and accurate. While Jesus is referred to as "God" (Theos) in several places in the New Testament, He is never explicitly referred to as "ho theos" (the God) in the same way that the Father is.
    There are instances where Jesus is referred to as "Theos" (Theos), but these instances are often debated among scholars and theologians, and the language is not always as clear-cut as "ho theos".
    So, the specific phrase "ho theos" is reserved for the Father, maintaining a distinction between the two.

    One of those is referring to John 1:1 but you are falsifying the interpretation of the scripture to imply that Theos is referring to The Word, Jesus Christ. It isn't. It reads " In the beginning was The Word and the Word was with God and The Word was divine." That does not say Jesus was God when correctly translated.
    So, you can keep manipulating scripture to justify the abhorrent notion that Jesus is God the Father, and worshiping man made doctrines, but stop trying to prove the Trinity is anything but man made nonsense that you want to believe.
    Jesus is God the Son. He was with God from the beginning, Genesis chapters 1-3 refer to him constantly with God, not God. "They have become one of US, knowing good and evil." Who are the US? God the Father and Jesus.
    Jesus is one of the Morning Stars, just like Lucifer. John makes this clear in Revelations 22:16.
    This is proof that Christians believe in the Creeds and use the Bible to support their belief, their religion. They don't believe the Bible. They believe the philosophies of men mingled with Scripture, and that is Satin's work.
