Some Interesting Facts
1. Christ never DIRECTLY STATED IN QUOTE FORMAT" I Am God"
2. The apostles never DIRECTLY STATED IN QUOTE FORMAT" Christ Is God"
3.The Trinity Dogma ascribes various individualized functions to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Yet these functions cross-platform frequently in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit giving the Trinity Dogma a serious contradiction. Trinitarians will fight this blindly, though.
4. By INDIRECT CLAIMS ,such as the allusion to "I AM" in Exodus, Christ by APPLIED IMPLICATION METHOD is considered FULLY GOD by traditional theology. Even though in the "I AM" allusion, Christ never DIRECTY STATED He was "I AM" but IMPLIED He was.
5.The Trinity Dogma, self-admittedly, uses APPLIED IMPLICATION METHOD to interpret Bible Doctrine for Christ's Diety.
6. Biblical authors seemingly "went out their way" to avoid calling Christ DIRECTY God in any solid piece of scripture.

1. The Greek phrase, "ego eimi" or "I, myself, am..." states not only the "I am" principle, but the uniqueness with which Jesus fills that principle.
2. John 1:1 is often quoted in this context, but most English translations are rather weak on it. John reversed the word order, using a Greek form called predicate nominative. The effect of this is NOT to minimize the importance of logos, or the Word, as some claim, but to EMPHASIZE IT. The implication of this construction is that the 2 words in question, "Word" and "God," are INTERCHANGEABLE, that is, they refer to THE SAME THING/PERSON. This passage literally reads, "In beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the God, and God was the Word." There are a few English translations which try to relate it accurately, the Amplified version's "...and the Word was God Himself" is one of the better ones on this passage.

It is probably best to just lay this question aside for a while, and seek a relationship with him. This is a subject that will cause a lot of fights, and the devil loves it when we fight with each other, because that means that we are not joining forces to fight him.

People should worry more about how they live rather than obscure theological points. Regaurdless of what you believe, if there is a God, then what he is is what he is, believing that he is different will have no effect.
In other words, your beleifs will not impress anyone including your God, but the way the way you live will.

Excuse me? What about when Jesus said, "He who has seen me has seen the Father"? and "I and the Father are One"?
I think your "facts" are suspect.
