Believing in the Deity of Christ is not adding to salvation. It is a part of the original package.
You are adding to salvation. had nothing to do with being saved just mens ignorance but some men love to remain ignorant, it a pride thing, wont go to Christ lest they be proven wrong.

Nope. It is part of the original package.
Never was.

Mat 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Mat 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Peter got it right why cant you.

What does it mean that Jesus is the Son of God but that as the "son that was given" His name shall be called "The everlasting Father" (Isaiah 9:6)?

In order to deny this you have to engage in eisegesis and change the wording of the kjv, not once, but twice in order to make it fit your mold.

I dont do Exegesis just Christ

Joh_8:54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

If Jesus was God than that whole line becomes a lie, and you just made Him a liar. But men do that all day, adding to Gods words.

I don't see that...how does Jesus' statement end up being a lie if Jesus is God?

Jesus obviously is the Lord God...for He claimed to be the great I AM in John 8:58...and the scribes and Pharisees understood His claim well enough to pick up stones to stone Him for blasphemy (John 8:59, John 10:31-33).

You would do well to implement the principles of Bible interpretation in order to get a more accurate knowledge of who Christ is, from the holy scriptures...

For the scriptures testify of Christ (John 5:39-40).

You would do far better to believe Jesus and the Holy Spirit, these bits,

Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.

and this bit

Joh 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Joh 5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

I'm thankful to the Lord that He recently appeared while I was sleeping, in the flesh, and whispered in my ear, "I love you very much." I felt His touch and I know that He came to me in the flesh and spoke to me; and I heard His voice.

@mjrhealth,

If you don't repent of your unbelief concerning the Deity of Christ, you are indeed going to die in your sins (John 8:24).

@mjrhealth,

The scriptures testify of Christ (John 5:39-40).

So, how is it that you do not heed their testimony?
You missed this bit

Joh_15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

but you dont believe Him thats why it says

Joh 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

But all you preach is the bible because it is all you know, your understanding and you refuse like so many to go to Him who is the truth, you are just another " I read the bible and I quote it so I am right " person and we have thousands of people just like you, just not many Christ like who follow Christ alone.

Rom_8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

And He has very few sons.

What has He said that I haven't believed?

There is certainly something that He has said that you haven't believed (in John 8:24).

thats why it says

Joh 5:38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

But all you preach is the bible

The scriptures are they which testify of Christ.

because it is all you know, your understanding and you refuse like so many to go to Him who is the truth, you are just another " I read the bible and I quote it so I am right " person and we have thousands of people just like you, just not many Christ like who follow Christ alone.

Rom_8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

And He has very few sons.

His Spirit testifies with my spirit that I am a child of God.

Matey you condemn yourself... its no wonder your other friend told you to shooo of. You are not doing yourself any favours...
That doesn't make any sense...how am I condemning myself in praying for you?

Does unselfish behaviour condemn a man?
