Not saying that at all. I am only saying that perhaps the Devil misjudged Jesus's resolve.
James 1:13
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.

Another clear proof of Christ's divine nature is God.

Resolve, yes of course, God can't be tempted by evil because of who he is, it is impossible to tempt God.

The other is that God can not lie.

Devil is liar, deceiver, tempter.

Which human can say :

Joh 17:5 - And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
God’s firstborn….was a spirit son before he became a human son of God. He was “with God” so how can he be God? Even if you had a twin and you were “with” them, you would still be two different people.
Jesus (as only one) remembers His previous life with God, notable even before mankind was created.
Yes, since all creation came “through” the son…but not from him. (Prov 8:30-31) He was like the construction engineer working alongside the great architect.
Col 1:16 says that all creation came “through him and for him”….so creation is then a gift from the Father to the son…who was a helper in the process….the “us” and “our” in Gen 1:26.
Matt 28:18 - And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Read that again and ask….if Jesus was God, why did he need “all authority” to be “given“ to him? Given by whom? His equal self?
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 He [Jesus] was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made through him [Jesus], and without him [Jesus] was not any thing made that was made.

Repeated in -

Kol 1:16 For by him [Jesus] all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him [Jesus] and for him [Jesus].
Yes……but you read those words through a trinitarian filter….there is no trinity there at all.
“Through him“ means agency. What is an agent? Isn’t it someone through whom business is conducted?
1Joh 5:20 - And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
The phrasing is a bit confusing in the translation, but if you read it more carefully, you will see that John is speaking about knowing that Jesus has come to give his disciples understanding of the one that is true. Jesus is the means by which they can know that the Father is the true God and eternal life. (John 17:3)
Col 2:9 - For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, [ESV]
- For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily [KJV]
- because in him doth tabernacle all the fulness of the Godhead bodily [YLT]
There is no such word in the Bible as “godhead”…the church made that up. The word in Greek “theotēs” occurs only once in Scripture and is translated “deity” as it says in the ESV….What does it mean to say “the fullness of deity dwells bodily”? Without the trinitarians lens, it says that all that God is, the son reflects his qualities and characteristics perfectly. (Heb 1:3) He is said to be “the exact representation of his nature”….the visible “image of the invisible God”….ponder that for a moment. What does the image of someone invisible look like?
Filipp 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
Filipp 2:10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Filipp 2:11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Again….read what it says…God highly exalted God….?
God gave himself a name higher than what he already had?( Psalm 83:18)
And in confessing that Jesus is “Lord” (not God) all glory goes to the Father…..do you see what I see?
There are more.
More errors?
Do I understand the Trinity, no. No analogy applies.
I‘m sorry but the trinity is not found in the Bible…it is without a single direct statement from either God or his son that they share deity. All scripture supposedly supporting it is assumption based on very biased translation.

Who can say that they really understand the trinity concept? It is incomprehensible.
Did God’s ancient people know of a triune god?
Israel had “one God“ (Deut 6:4) and there was no suggestion in any of the Scripture used by Jesus and his apostles that he somehow changed into a ‘threesome’ because the later apostate church taught many things that were not true.….in this case, a clear breach of the first Commandment. They put, not one god, but three gods in the Father’s place. (Exodus 20:3)

But the devil is evil…he is not stupid. He tempted two other sinless humans and won them over by lying to them. Did he lie to Jesus? Were all the kingdoms of the world really in his possession to give to whomever he wanted? (Luke 4:5-7)
Could Jesus turn stones into loaves of bread? He turned water into wine. He had just fasted for 40 days.
Would God have let Jesus die by throwing himself off the battlement of the temple? These were genuine temptations, not lies. In each temptation the devil told the truth…..Jesus was 100% mortal human, and a subject of free will.…Satan knew he could try it on but he was dealing with a son whose faith could not be bought.

The creation of man, man was created from the earth itself (dust) to live and work on the earth on the 6th day.
So then how can Jesus be just a man?
And angels do not worship men or other angels, so he must be God and was never an angel.
Read Revelation 5 to see that heavenly worship. Christ came down from heaven to earth, and when His work was done, Christ ascended back into heaven from where He had come.
Jesus was and is before the creation of man on the 6th day.

John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together [b]with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

Genesis 1
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [h]moves on the earth.”

29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is [i]life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

John 8:23
And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

John 3:31
He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

John 6:38
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

John 6
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

Jesus could not be tempted by evil. If Jesus could have that would have proven He is not God in the flesh, but just 100% man

Do you deny scripture? Trinity is right here.

1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

God, Christ, Spirit all 3 are here

Hebrews 1:6
But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

Angel do not worship and praise men or other angels, they praise and worship Christ though, so even as a babe, Christ was more than just a man.

Here is it happening, Jesus Christ is God but you don't recognize Him as the great I AM, angels though know.

Glory in the Highest​

8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And [c]behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a [d]manger.”

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

14 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill[e] toward men!”


Wise Men from the East​

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, [a]wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”

Do you worship Christ? Are you better than the holy angels?

The creation of man, man was created from the earth itself (dust) to live and work on the earth on the 6th day.
So then how can Jesus be just a man?
Who said he was just a man….he was a very unique man…..Adam’s equivalent….perfect and sinless. He had to be to redeem the human race….it was an exact payment. Do you understand the mechanics of the ransom?
And angels do not worship men or other angels, so he must be God and was never an angel.
Jesus was not worshipped by angels or men. Look up the word in Greek and see that it can mean obeisance not just worship. Context determines the translation. Directed to God it is worship….directed to a human it is obeisance….Jesus was a mortal human.…an immortal God cannot die.
Read Revelation 5 to see that heavenly worship.
I did and found no one worshipping Jesus….
Rev 5:
“And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders, and the number of them was myriads of myriads* and thousands of thousands, 12 and they were saying with a loud voice: “The Lamb who was slaughtered is worthy to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”

13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all the things in them, saying: “To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever.” 14 The four living creatures were saying: “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshipped.”

So the Lamb was given “power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing” but not worship.
”To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever.”…again no worship. When we see the four living creatures and the elders falling down to worship, it is to God that they give worship…
Christ came down from heaven to earth, and when His work was done, Christ ascended back into heaven from where He had come.
Jesus was and is before the creation of man on the 6th day.
Yes, the Bible corroborates that by telling us that the son was “with God” “in the beginning”….and Col 1:15-17 tells us that he was the “firstborn of all creation”….he is God’s first creation, confirmed by Jesus himself in Rev 3:14.
John 17
3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together [b]with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Yes, he was a glorious spirit being in heaven with his God and Father before his earthly mission. We have to know who “the only true God” is as well as “the one he sent”. That is two, not three.
Genesis 1
26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [h]moves on the earth.”

29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is [i]life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Yes…and?
John 8:23
And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Yes…and?
John 3:31
He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
Yes….and?
John 6:38
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Yes, God came down from heaven to do the will of the other God who sent him….he’s apparently not used to doing his own will since it might conflict with the will of the other God….makes perfect sense…..not.
John 6
49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
Yes…and?

I have no issue with the Scriptures you use, because I understand them….the way you use them to prove something the Bible does not teach, doesn’t make any sense.

So then how can Jesus be just a man?
Because Mary gave birth to a baby ,who she carried in the womb.

I do hope you aren’t insinuating that she gave birth to Spirit...

Jesus was Born with a human nature, you think he had divine power as a child/ teenager....when his mother got on his nerves, would he have been able to use divine power to shut her up, think about it?

And who is this guy?

The Commander of the Army of the Lord​

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”

14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.”

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

15 Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

I worship only worship my Lord God.

I do not worship Jesus, no where in the Bible does it say to worship Jesus, if it does, then I will humbly apologise.
Here is an example there are more.

Oh, these silly women, is that what you think? Are you better than they?

Mat 28
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone [a]from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.

5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”

8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

The Women Worship the Risen Lord​

9 And [b]as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

That’s not saying that we are to worship Jesus..I’m afraid..

Nowhere in Gods word does it say that we must worship the Lord Jesus with all our heart, mind, soul.

Couse the devil lied about what he said to Christ regarding the world being his.
No he didn’t….Read Luke 4:5-7….satan offered Jesus all the Kingdoms of the world because he said they had been “delivered to him”…..who alone could give the devil world rulership. (1John 5:19) Did Jesus deny his claim?
Jesus could not be tempted by evil. If Jesus could have that would have proven He is not God in the flesh, but just 100% man
Yes….the very reason why the devil tried it on….like I said, he is evil, not stupid.
Do you deny scripture? Trinity is right here.
No, but I see that you do. There is no trinity in the Bible. There never was.
1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
In the original manuscript the word “God” is missing from that rendering, and the word “he” replaces it more accurately. It is speaking about “godliness” and Jesus was the epitome of it.
God, Christ, Spirit all 3 are here

Hebrews 1:6
But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
How about Heb 1:1-4….
“Long ago God spoke to our forefathers by means of the prophets on many occasions and in many ways. 2Now at the end of these days he has spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the systems of things. 3 He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact representation of his very being, and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. 4 So he has become better than the angels to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.”

What does that say??? The last verse there…how did Jesus become better than the angels? How can he inherit a name more excellent than theirs? Please explain how “God” can have these things said about him?
Angel do not worship and praise men or other angels, they praise and worship Christ though, so even as a babe, Christ was more than just a man.
The magi did not come to worship a god…..the came to honor a new king. It was obeisance they gave him, not worship. The magi were Babylonian astrologers, not sent by God, but by satan in an initial attempt to have him killed before he even had a chance to grow up!
God gave the good news of Christ’s birth to Jewish shepherds with an angelic chorus. Why would he give that news to pagan practicers of magic and astrology?

The whole “Christmas” story is a satanic lie….the star was not sent by God at all.
Here is it happening, Jesus Christ is God but you don't recognize Him as the great I AM, angels though know.
It might surprise you to know that God’s name is not “I Am” and Jesus never said it.
The account in John 8:58 is about the Jews asking Jesus his age, not his status as a deity. They asked a past tense question and he gave them a past tense answer…..”before Abraham existed I have been”. IOW Jesus said he existed before Abraham. He answered their question.

Glory in the Highest​

8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And [c]behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a [d]manger.”

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

Obeisance is rendered to humans….Jesus was a human child. They did not worship him.
Look up the origin of Christmas and then come back and tell me how Christian it is….? (2 Cor 6:14-18)

of God”, not “God”. The chief angel is still an angel. And “of God.”

And Moses and the Israelites (and Jews) worshipped “Yahweh / Yehovah”, the God of Jesus & Martha. — John 20:17.
Judges 13:9-22
9 And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the Angel of God came to the woman again as she was sitting in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her. 10 Then the woman ran in haste and told her husband, and said to him, “Look, the Man who came to me the other day has just now appeared to me!”11 So Manoah arose and followed his wife. When he came to the Man, he said to Him, “Are You the Man who spoke to this woman?”
And He said, “I am.
12 Manoah said, “Now let Your words come to pass! What will be the boy’s rule of life, and his work?” 13 So the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful. 14 She may not eat anything that comes from the vine, nor may she drink wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean. All that I commanded her let her observe.” 15 Then Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, “Please let us detain You, and we will prepare a young goat for You.”
16 And the Angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “Though you detain Me, I will not eat your food. But if you offer a burnt offering, you must offer it to the Lord.” (For Manoah did not know He was the Angel of the Lord.)
17 Then Manoah said to the Angel of the Lord, “What is Your name, that when Your words come to pass we may honor You?”
18 And the Angel of the Lord said to him, “Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?”
19 So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to the Lord. And He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife looked on— 20 it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar! When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground. 21 When the Angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the Lord.
22 And Manoah said to his wife, “We shall surely die, because we have seen God!”

Gen 31: 11-13
11 Then the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, ‘Jacob.’ And I said, ‘Here I am.’ 12 And He said, ‘Lift your eyes now and see, all the rams which leap on the flocks are streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you. 13 I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you made a vow to Me. Now arise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your family.’

Numbers 22: 35-38
35 Then the Angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but only the word that I speak to you, that you shall speak.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
36 Now when Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the border at the Arnon, the boundary of the territory. 37 Then Balak said to Balaam, “Did I not earnestly send to you, calling for you? Why did you not come to me? Am I not able to honor you?”
38 And Balaam said to Balak, “Look, I have come to you! Now, have I any power at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I must speak.

Judges 6:20
20 The Angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And he did so.
21 Then the Angel of the Lord put out the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire rose out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. And the Angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.
22 Now Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the Lord. So Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord God! For I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face.”

You will have to forgive me, But there is just way to much evidence the angel of God. or the angel of the lord is the lord himself.

We are only to worship the Lord God...it doesn’t feel right to worship Jesus in my spirit.

I just thank Jesus from deep within my heart/spirit, thanking him for dying and taking my sin onto himself.

The Holy Spirit does not witness to my spirit that I am to worship Jesus, no sir, only the Lord God.
they are one and the same.

the angels worship him, why would you not worship him

Since Christ is God in the flesh, they worshipped Christ as did His apostles.
As did demon infested man.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore[a] You by God that You do not torment me.”

So men, angels, worship Christ
Including His close apostles

The Great Commission​

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

Since Christ is God's heir, Christ got all authority the Father's authority, in addition to His own authority as God, showing Christ is God.
God wont give all His authority to any man , or any angel.


God, who [a]at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the [b]worlds; 3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had [c]by Himself [d]purged [e]our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Because Mary gave birth to a baby ,who she carried in the womb.

I do hope you aren’t insinuating that she gave birth to Spirit...

Jesus was Born with a human nature, you think he had divine power as a child/ teenager....when his mother got on his nerves, would he have been able to use divine power to shut her up, think about it?
Yes, He gave birth to a human child. And the lord entered that child.
