"Jesus was a human being" through whom God's sublime qualities flawlessly manifested. He never called Himself God. It was a perplexed Jewish audience who sought to know God because of His numerous statements that he was sent by The Father, God, into the earth. Jesus told them that God is spirit Who could not be seen, he then explained that by seeing him they have seen the Father; because in Him was power, wisdom and love in their fullness which manifested through His activities among men. Divinity is God alone, no created thing is divine. We can only talk of divine qualities finding home in those who strive upwards through genuine acts of goodwill to fellow humans, recognising and acknowledging God as the beginning from whom creation came into existence and in whom all contradictions, as perceived by indolent and confused humans, resolve themselves. Jesus, as an embodiment of God's perceptible qualities, was from the beginning as God Himself; for those qualities defined God.

John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.


"the glory I had WITH thee. . . ." I think that says it all. Thats a clear reference to two persons and not 1!

You seem to lack basic knowledge of the Trinity doctrine. Everyone knows it is God in three persons. So what with your eureka moment? Do you even need anything on trinity or no trinity. You need Jesus Himself in your life.

Hahahahahahahaha! Basic Knowledge of the Trinity Doctrine indeed! There you go - God in three persons - and yet even attested christians have a different understanding of that! Alhamdudillahi. Una no go kill pesin. Chai!

Interesting points? i thought they were complaints. Well, i can't 'answer' them as i'd wish at the present. When chanced(sorry it could be days) i'd try. iposted something expository on another thread recently though . It's also a Trinity thread.

@deepS, sorry o! Have a better weekend then. I must say, just any One of the Trinity would/could solve your breaks. If you asked Him.

You are not serious o. You've thought wrong BTW. It wasn't just the Trinity issue that made me call you a Witness. And it's not only witnesses that disagree with the doctrine.
