If you settle for a doctrine that diminishes your knowledge of truly knowing God, this will be seen by Him as a significant problem.
And you this will be a problem how? when did you become Gods chief of staff.

And how is believing Jesus is true God and true man diminishing my know23ledge of th eFather, Son and spirit??

Well Jesus is called God and He is called man.

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Now Paul called Jesus both God and man, was He lying and not inspired???
He did not, but he did say he wasn't either both. What became of him when he died on the cross?

Here is a very good one that shows this.

Titus 2:13
looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

2 Peter 1

1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the [c]corruption that is in the world through lust.

10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

1 John 5:20
And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

When we know Jesus Christ, we know God

John 14:7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

What this means is that if you don't know the Son of Man, it must also imply that you don't truly understand the Son of God. However, what you do know doesn't align with the truth, so I'd say your understanding is diminished.

Now, if you can explain the Messiah as the Son of Man, as Jesus himself used the term and understood his purpose, then we can have a meaningful discussion. But as long as you hold onto this misunderstanding, we really have no common ground.

Those that actually know how to read and understand what the letters are saying... can clearly see he acknowledged the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost in this one sentence.... "Well the Bible expressly teaches that Jesus is subordinate to his Father and the HS is Gods power."





Maybe you got caught with your britches down and now have to explain WHY you acknowledged the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.... after having claimed you only believe in the Father only but not the Son and not the Holy Ghost.

This is all very comical and hilarious to see someone say "God is just God only" and then turn around and acknowledge the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost by saying... "Well the Bible expressly teaches that Jesus is subordinate to his Father and the HS is Gods power."
You seem like someone who lacks the maturity that comes from a deeper understanding of the Word of God. As Paul said, we should put away childish things. Perhaps it's time for you to do so. Only then will you begin to grasp the mature Gospel of God.
