A glaring proof of the divinity of Jesus is the many examples of God's people worshipping Christ in the New Testament, which Christ never corrected

You need to apply faith Marks - when this takes place you will perceive the intent of the Lords Words and heed them. There is little more I can do for which has not already been done.

Well it sure seems to me that I'm the guy that does in fact believe Jesus' words. You seem to think He didn't actually mean what He said.

Just believe what Jesus said. And you'll be OK.

Much love!

If a shallow reading satisfies you then "so be it"...if you want to look deeper into his thoughts and reasonings then this can be shown you.

Christ's reference to Abraham serves to affirm His pre-eminence, not His pre-existence. The Jews had claimed Abraham as their father (vs. 39), so Christ asserts His greater role in God's divine purpose by saying, "Before Abraham was, I am." He did not say, "Before Abraham was, I was," as is often misinterpreted.
The language does not allow your twist of Jesus words.

He said, literally, before abraham, I was.

Only God can make this claim.. (unless he was an angel created before Abraham)

Jesus said Before abraham was (In the greek genomi - to become, to take place. To be formed, to come to exist.)

it does not say or man anythign about how great he was.

Then Jesus said, I am (in the greek ego - I, Eimi - to be, to exist)

again, he could have just said, eimi, (I exist) but he said ego eimi,

either way. Your attempt to twist fails in the greek.

Your can;t do anything, when your words are so far off base as to not even agree with the text.

When you try to make to exist to mean how great a person is or is not.. I mean really now

Already looked deeper. See post 46. No personal opinion. No twisting the words. just plain and simple see what Jesus said,

was he speaking about how great one was

or was he speaking about who was alive first.

Just look at the words. And tell me where i got it wrong.

Tell me to exist means how great a person is or is not.

it should not be too hard

Your happy to talk to me, But you will not just take the greek meaning?

should I listen to you. Who already said your biased, and will never change your mind (in effect) or to the defenitions of the words jesus used?

I hope you forgive me if I chose to believe the language and what they mean, and not a person who think he is on a crusade to defeat all the people who believe Jesus is God..

All Trinitarians may remain in a state of ignorance and confusion, but ultimately, your doctrine does not alter what God accomplished through Christ Jesus. While you may not fully understand what He did, that does not change the reality of His actions. 2 Corinth 5:19

Dude,

I showed to you what jesus said in the greek

It is not a trinitarian or non trinitarian issue, it is just looking at the facts.

The fact, You said it is how great a person was, basically Jesus saying he was greater than abraham

the fact. The greek says the opposite.it speaks about one existing or coming to be or to be born.

You can sit there and argue the trinity all you want. But you can not argue the facts of what Jesus said, they are set in stone.

So you can keep acting like a bully. Or you can admit you got this one wrong. And move to the next argument
