like why don't you won't to accept it? I don't because than that means Jesus dying on the cross of calvary meant nothing. If Jesus was just a man than our salvation is gone. But do some of you believe He was not God in the flesh but still believe He died on the cross for our sins? Making our indifferences just between Jesus being God in the flesh, and vice versa?
Hebrews 1:8 To whom is the title "O God" given? The Son. Also what did Thomas say concerning Jesus John 20:28 "My Lord and My God"

brains Jesus did not come to destroy the law.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.

hayaa you bring up good points but, think about this. Jesus was here on earth to show us how to live. He prayed to God the Father because He was trying to show us what to do. I Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
God manifested himself into a human body. It doesn't mean God left Heaven it just means He took himself and made another one of Him but in the flesh.

Still no one is telling me what your faith is since you don't believe what I am saying is true.

Some people don't want to believe because doing so would give weight to what He said and they don't like some of the things that He said, so they think that if He was a man and not God then His words have no more weight than anyones.

Perhaps because the Bible states no one has seen God at any time which would mean the whole part of the trinity or just parts of the trinity has never been seen. - John 1:18
Trinitarians belive in only one God. Supposely Jesus is the same God in heaven but yet no one has seen God, period.
Trinitarism simply does not fit the scriptures.

Not a chance.
G-d is not man, man cannot become G-d.
Try reading the OLD Testament and stay away from fiction.
Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, there is a sharp contrast made between God on one hand, and human beings on the other. First of all, there is always a reprimand against any human being who claims to be God, or Divine, as we read in Ezekiel 28:2:
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Eternal God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
Then there is the verse from Hosea in which God specifically tells us that God is not a human being:
I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not a man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city. [Hosea 11:9]
And then there is another verse, in Numbers 23:19, where God specifically tells us that if God were a human being, then he would be a liar, as all human beings do lie on occasion. Furthermore, this verse tell us that if God were a human being, he would be in need of repentance because all human beings sin at some point in their lives. Finally, this verse also tells us that if God were a human being, then he would make promises, but not keep them:
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the Son of Man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? [Numbers 23:19]
God is the same, God does not lie, and God is God and Human Beings are Human Beings, and God does not become a Human Being, and Human Beings do not become gods.

through fact Jesus replaced into conceived via the Holy Ghost, and not of guy, he's termed the Son of God. inspite of the reality that we too are referred to as sons of God (I John 3:2), our sonship is diverse than Jesus'. while we are accompanied as God's sons (Romans 8:14-17), Jesus replaced into born as God's Son (Luke a million:35). His very being got here into existence via the Holy Ghost. the perfect way we can differentiate yet no longer separate Christ's 2 natures (divine & human) could be while in comparison with the perfect way Paul differentiated between our inner and outer guy. He pronounced, "nevertheless our outward guy perish however the inward guy is renewed on a daily basis" (II Corinthians 4:sixteen). In yet another place he observed, "For I delight interior the regulation of God after the inward guy: yet I see yet another regulation in my contributors, warring a criminal offense of my techniques, and bringing me into captivity to the regulation of sin that's in my contributors" (Romans 7:22-23). the two a type of references make a brilliant difference between our spirit-guy and our fleshly-guy, yet any such huge difference replaced into in no way meant to teach that we are 2 people.

Nothing... it was true! The books of Isaiah and the old testement provide enough evidence and even the facts that a bunch of fishermen etc. that one day are hiding and after seeing Jesus are out willing to die proclaiming him the saviour and son of God should convince most! 11 of the 12 disciples died deaths of violence like beheading and crucifixtion... not exactly something you would hold tight to unless it was true!
Paul records for example he was given the 39 lashes several times, flogged, stoned etc. Only a person defending what was true would suffer like that and keep going!
God Bless

god is allbeing but also the trinity. god the son came to earth to to destroy the law (commandments) but to enforce gods law. He also died on the cross that our sins would be forgiven so that we could go to heaven.

There is nothing wrong with Jesus... it was just written in the prophecy of all religion before his birth. The Saviour shall be born.

Nothing at all,so long as you can logically say that god sacrificed himself to himself to appease himself.

If that were the case, then who was Jesus praying to? If Jesus is God in the flesh, and he was praying, then that would equate God worships another god or other gods.
Just as well, as Jesus was (according to the Bible) dying on the cross, he shouted "My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me?" Why would God ask Himself why He was forsaking Himself, since God is the All-Knowing.
And again, the Bible says Jesus was tempted, but isn't God beyond temptation or any similar characteristic that a human goes through, such as desire, hunger, pain and tiredness?
Suggesting that Jesus is God is demoting the status of God to a mere human with human needs and human limits. And those who truly worship God as all monotheistic religions instruct aren't willing to demote God and still claim to be a believer and follower of Him.
More evidence that Jesus is not God from the Bible:
Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man…”
Hosea 11:9 “...For I am God, and not man...”
Acts 2:22 “Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know.”
Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man...nor a son of man…”
Acts 2:22 “Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.”
Acts 3:13 “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.”
Acts 5:29-30 “We must obey God rather than men! The God of our fathers raised Jesus...”
Acts 4:27 “...your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.”
Matt. 12:18 “Behold, My servant, whom I have chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased.”
John 5:19 “The son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father doing.”
John 5:30 “I can of mine own self do nothing.”
Mark 1:13 “And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to him.”
Luke 22:42: “not my will but Yours be done.”
John 5:30 “I do not seek my own will, but the will of Him who sent me.”
John 6:38 “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me.”
John 14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.”
1 Corinthians 11:3 “Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.”
1 Corinthians 15:28 “When he has done this, then the son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.”
Mark 13:32 “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the Father.”
Heb. 4:15 “tempted in every way—just as we are”
James 1:13 “for God cannot be tempted by evil”
John 7:16 “So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me.”
John 12:49 “The Father, who sent me, he gave me a commandment.”
Hebrews 2:9 “But we do see him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus.” (if Jesus is lower than angels, he cannot be God, the creator of the angels)
John 20:17 “I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.”
John 5:19 “The son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do”; and directly after:
John 5:30 "I can of mine own self do nothing.”
Edit: But how can you still hold to the belief that Jesus is God when so many more verses in the Bible oppose the idea? If it comes down to choosing which verses are true and which verses are not, shouldn't you at least side with the most verses to back it up rather than one lonely verse? Let's say, for arguments sake, that the Bible is not in its original form (which many Christians agree too, and which would account for any contradictions). If there is any idea within the original Bible that was passed down to the translated and re-edited versions, wouldn't it stand out as the most clear idea?

And who says that something is wrong here? When the deviine is incarnated in human form, so long as the human form reminas, it is the devine in flesh, as stated. Just look at the Hindus, there are many incarnatons, and all were in flesh and blood form, and all diend like any other human in flesh and blood form.
The only thing is that, the flesh and blood form is only transitional, and not the real nature of the devine.
