All that is to overwhelm the people with confusion. That is called camouflage.. Go back and read post 2, 3 ,
1 - First, the evidence: Jesus was a Jew and, according to his Faith which was Judaism, God is absolutely One and the Only Lord. (Deut. 6:4 and Mark 12:29)
2 - Now, the proof for the evidence: The Absolute Oneness of God:
Isaiah says that, absolutely, God cannot be compared with anyone or anything, as we read Isaiah 46:5. "To whom will ye liken Me, and make Me equal to , or compare Me with, that we may be alike?"
Therefore, more than one God would have been unable to produce the world; one would have impeded the work of the other, unless this could be avoided by a suitable division of labor.
More than one Divine Being would have one element in common, and would differ in another; each would thus consist of two elements, and would not be God.
More than one God are moved to action by will; the will, without a substratum, could not act simultaneously in more than one being.
Therefore, the existence of one God is proved; the existence of more than one God cannot be proved. One could suggest that it would be possible; but since as possibility is inapplicable to God, there does not exist more than one God. So, the possibility of ascertaining the existence of God is here confounded with potentiality of existence.
Again, if one God suffices, a second or third God would be superfluous; if one God is not sufficient, he is not perfect, and cannot be a deity.
Now, besides being God absolutely One, He is incorporeal. If God were corporeal, He would consist of atoms, and would not be one; or he would be comparable to other beings; but a comparison implies the existence of similar and of dissimilar elements, and God would thus not be One. A corporeal God would be finite, and an external power would be required to define those limits.

If you really want to flex your intellectual muscles try to refute these verses. Because until you can do that, you got nothing.
One God and Father.
Eph 4:6
6one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
(NKJ)
Now if you want to be smarter than the demons, you atleast believe there is only one God.
James 2:19
19You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-- and tremble!
(NKJ)
Jesus is between God and man.
1 Tim 2:5
5For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
(NKJ)
There is only one God.
Mark 12:32
32So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.
(NKJ)
We have the very same God and the very same Father as Jesus.
John 20:17
17Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.'"
(NKJ)
Jesus says the Father is the only true God.
John 17:3
3"And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
(NKJ)
Paul says for us there is only one God the Father.
1 Cor 8:6
6yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
(NKJ)
You make no argument against the Trinity as the Trinity is one God
"There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all" (Ephesians 4:4-6).
Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus is surely one of the most profoundly doctrinal--yet intensely practical--books of the Bible, and it is not surprising that the doctrine of the tri-une God breaks into his message so frequently. For example, note Ephesians 2:18: "For through [Christ] we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father."
More often, however, it appears not in a succinct formula like this, but rather in inter-connected references to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, always implying that each is deity, but never that they are three different "gods." Paul prayed that "the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him" (Ephesians 1:17).
He also prayed "unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, . . . That He would grant you, . . . to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith" (Ephesians 3:14,16,17). Thus the believer is "filled with all the fulness of God" (v.19).
We are exhorted to "grieve not the holy Spirit of God, . . . even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you" (Ephesians 4:30,32). And "be filled with the Spirit; . . . Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 5:18,20).
There are others, but note especially our text, speaking of our unity in Him and His tri-unity in us. "There is . . . one Spirit . . . One Lord, . . . One God and Father of all, who is above all [i.e., the Father], and through all [the Son], and in you all [the Spirit]." All this is a magnificent mystery, but a wonderful reality! HMM

God said He would put strong delusions in scripture for those who did not have a true love of the truth. And you are following that delusion.
II Th 2:11-12
11And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
12that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(NKJ)
Lol so all the scriptural proof I give, you will just say there just delusions. I can say the EXACT same with your beliefs that Jesus is not God. Reread those verses to yourself before others my friend
errrm, no, you said "He would put strong delusions in scripture that you would fall for."
Please, step away from the Bible, religion isn't for you!
Reference: Matthews: 13 KJV N.T. 10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. |

That sounds like your very weak in faith. Do you only believe something if you can convince others of it first. Cant you believe what you read whether anyone agrees with you or not?
I believe Jesus is God. For it is the Truth. Unlike Jehovahs Witnesses and others who don't know the Truth, Jesus is God. Scripture is clear. That's it
I said
Then you know from experience what a strong delusion is. Don't you.
Matt 15:13-14
13But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted.
14"Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch."
(NKJ)
Mistakes that aren't sins. Worrying his parents Luk 2:43, and underestimating his father when [on] the cross Matthew 15:34.And what mistake would that be?

Believe what you want to my friend. Scripture is clear. Jesus is God.

Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory
