Hello Rosenritter
Firstly, Jesus said to Satan, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. He didn't say I'm not worshipping you, you worship me I'm God. I don't believe that Jesus is God, he is the son of God, as he said himself, he never once called himself God the son, only the son of God and he always gave full glory to God the father. He even asked God to glorify him, because God is his God, and Jesus said himself, that God is the only true God and I have to believe him.
There's too much scripture showing that Jesus completely laid down his life and lived to do the will of the father, and that Christ also is under subjection to God, as shown in this scripture here
1 Corinthians 15
“And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.”
Also, Jesus had to have had a free will, he said clearly not my will but thy will be done. So Jesus had a will, but he denied it completely to obey God and do Gods will. To say Jesus didn't have a will, is to take away how much he sacrificed for God. He gave his whole life up to do the Gods will and obey him and he denied himself completely to do so.
You can see the humble human side of Jesus, when he prayed in the garden before he was crucified. He was praying to his father and his God, just like we do when we go through suffering in our lives, Jesus said, without the father, he could do nothing. God is the God and father of Jesus as I have said before, he said to Mary, go tell my brethren that i go to my father and your father, my God and your God.i have to believe what Jesus says and he says that God is his God.
And I don't believe that because people worshipped Jesus that it means he's God, they saw God in him, Gods spirit lived fully through him as he was in his absolute image in every way. Where do we see Jesus in the Bible say, worship me, or I'm God the son? Nowhere. When Jesus perceived that they were going to make him a king, he ran away. He only wanted God his father to be glorified, and he is glorified in us, when we have the spirit of God in our hearts and others see that life of Christ in us.
I have to believe Jesus, I'm sorry but I can't believe anyone who tells me what to believe unless God reveals it to me that I'm wrong. But everything I read in the Bible points to one God, and his son Jesus Christ. Even the apostles said that God was the God of Jesus, they called God "the God of our lord Jesus Christ" I have to believe them. I don't think that God would have left out something so important as God the son from the Bible if Jesus was God the son. Also it says in the Bible, the father, son and holy ghost. Not God the father, God the son God the holy ghost. That isn't in the Bible.
It says in the Bible that the leaders of the Jews at that time picked up stones to stone Jesus, they accused him of making himself God, but he corrected them, he said "because i say I am the son of God"
Later on when the Jews went to Pilate to accuse Jesus, they changed what they said. They said
John 19
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God
So they now said because he makes himself the son of God, and they're not now saying that he made himself God.
Also, God sent Jesus, why would he have had to be sent if he was God? Over and over I see in the Bible that there is God the father and his son Jesus Christ, I'm not seeing God the son anywhere.
I believe that Jesus is the son of the living God, and I know he's the Christ. I can hear the spirit of God in his words and he lived to please the father always, and the father never left him, because he is his beloved son, in whom he is well pleased. Jesus came to bare witness to the truth, and bring us the love of God, and he is the only way back to God, and he is the life, and if we are his we will obey God be doers of the word and not hearers only. Walking the walk and walking in the spirit and worshipping God in spirit and in truth and we will be bringing Gods love to others.
I love Christ with all my heart for what he came and did for us, and when I read about his life and what he taught and hear his wisdom, it humbles me, without Jesus laying down his life, I'd never have known the living God and I'm forever grateful to him and I also love the lord my God who is the Almighty God with all my heart.
I hold nothing against anyone who believes differently, I'm just a sinner being saved by the grace of God through faith, and I have no right to judge another, but I have to believe what I see as right before God. And I believe that there is only one God and not a triune God.
Thank you for your post, it's quite long and I'll go through it again and study it properly when I have some quiet time, (hopefully later) I'm just going to tidy up the house now, so im not being ignorant if I don't answer you straight away
