I understand precisely what I say since I speak from Scripture's clear and consistent witness rather than confusion or error. The divinity of Jesus exists as God who shares an eternal unity with the Father while remaining a distinct individual and this truth comes from divine revelation rather than human invention. The Word of God reveals this truth in its entirety. The opening verse of John 1:1 states emphatically, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This statement represents straightforward divine scripture without any distortion. Jesus Himself said in John 10:30, "I and the Father are one." His statement expressed unity not just in purpose but also in nature and essence. The Jews chose to stone Him because His declaration of equality with God was unacceptable to them (John 10:33).
Your argument claims that equating the Son in every respect causes confusion yet the real confusion arises from dismissing the complete biblical testimony. Verses in Philippians 2:6 declare Christ as God by nature yet did not exploit His divine status for personal gain. And Hebrews 1:3 describes the Son as “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being,” which reflects full divinity rather than a lesser or derivative form of deity.
You seek examples that center Christ and challenge the notion of a Father-exclusive perspective. Consider John 14: Jesus declares Himself to be the way to reach the Father as well as the truth and life. Jesus does not function as a guide to truth because He embodies truth itself. He functions beyond a simple messenger of holy words because He embodies the Word made flesh as stated in John 1:14. When Thomas asked to see the Father, Jesus responded in John 14: The phrase "Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father" represents not a simple analogy but rather a profound disclosure.
Rejecting this understanding means twisting Scripture rather than preserving it. You accuse me of promoting AI-generated confusion, but I’m proclaiming the eternal truth that Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God (Colossians 1: Colossians 2:9 identifies Him as the bodily dwelling place of the fullness of deity. The biblical teaching reveals to us the triune character of the sole genuine God rather than exhibiting any favor toward concepts of multiple gods.
I declare this from a position of understanding while basing my argument on the Word instead of human tradition or philosophical speculation. Your perspective reduces Jesus to a mere man and establishes a counterfeit Christ figure who lacks saving power. The biblical Jesus stands as Immanuel who reveals God to us while being the exclusive path to understanding the Father.
You must turn away from manipulating Scripture to support a man-centered theology that rejects the complete divinity of Jesus Christ. You are spreading a distorted message which drives people away from God's true revelation in Jesus. Your actions are distorting the truth instead of preserving it. Human logic should not reshape the Word of God because we must accept it in its given form even when it challenges our beliefs. Peter's message in 2 Peter 3:16 warns us about the risks of misinterpreting difficult passages of Scripture. This misinterpretation can lead to destruction for those who are uninformed and unstable. Jesus said in John 8: The phrase “I am” deliberately asserts Jesus’ identity as God. Your disagreement goes beyond theological discussion because you reject the essential nature of Christ. This issue goes beyond minor disputes because it directly impacts salvation. Repent and accept the scriptural witness that declares the Son as fully divine and co-eternal with the Father while being humanity's sole Savior.
Well, I definitely do not want what you ordered off the breakfast menu this morning. It might make me sick to my stomach.
Your taste in foods and recipes for life eternal is quite different than mine. Yours are dead on arrival and my are alive and zesty.
Why did you waste your and my time with this form of drawn-out confession of faith of the popular pagan religious system you idolize? I know of it quite well. I do not need a re-run of it. You do not see a one person, and personal Father God in scripture, and there lies the real issue and rub.
So, I will not address your text because you are at the point of believing I now require another salvific repentance act, this time for your god or gods of three persons. No thank you.
You know the only reason why you can legally call your god and your practice of it monotheism, is because of the 'common one substance' clause invented to gel or unify the Triune theory of a non-descript god together. That is why your god will always be an 'it' a 'what' and never a personal 'who' or him. I think you can figure this out with some research.

So you think you truly know scripture?
Can you provide a short commentary and explanation for why Jesus prayed to his Father, who is his God by the way, hours before his death on the Cross?
Can you see Jesus' divinity, as also being the same exact divinity as his Father's in this topic? Can you see he is also the same God as his Father? Can you see that Jesus is very dependent upon his Father, for his very current and future existence?
I expect you can answer all these questions in your commentary quite easily. Although it will be only through the lens of your Trine belief model.
Now can you also refrain from the temptation of using any human devices that are used to prop up your religious belief model that is absent from scripture, such as: pre-existence of the Son, incarnation, kenosis or dual natures - hypostasis, into the discussion.
These religious terms are repugnant and repulsive to scripture. They mix like oil and water. Although you might continue to preach that they are soluble, they are not. And you need to recognize this as fact.
