Is there no end to peterlag's misunderstandings?
He misses the clearer one of Matt 28:19-20 while finding excuses to ignore tying the three together.2.) There is no clear Trinitarian formula in the Bible.
Hyperliteralist view shared here that denies that one can understand how the three appear in scripture.3.) The idea that "the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God, and together make one God" is not found in Scripture.
Jesus was denying that he was contrasting here against the idea that he was not physically resurrected. This not a broad explanation of what his appearance in flesh and bone signifies beyond countering their fears. Perfect misapplication of scripture by a unitarian.4.) God is spirit, and Jesus said he was not a spirit even after his resurrection (Luke 24:39).
Uh. He is also explicitly called "my God." It is bothersome that the unitarian does not acknowledge all of scripture.5.) Jesus is very plainly called a man many times in Scripture.
Duhhh. Jesus is not born a new god. No Christians hold to that -- at least not anyone that I've seen sharing that.6.) God was not born, but is eternal.
No Christian denies that the Word was incarnated as a man. duhhh7.) Romans 5:19 says a man had to pay for the sins of mankind.
Jesus is also God and one with the Father as found in Gal 3:19-20. So ignorance of interpretation again is the basis for a unitarian post.8.) The man Jesus is the mediator between God and men (1 Timothy 2:5).
Uh. There are no multiple gods. Jesus has the essence of his Father in his incarnation.9.) Jesus called the Father "my God" both before and after his resurrection.
Jesus can speak as a man because he is incarnated and has limitations of being human.10.) Jesus said my Father is greater than I (John 14:28).
Lord in this scenario is shared because the message is of who Jesus was in the flesh and now is designated higher in resurrection. It is not a denial of the deity of Christ as Peterlag so hopes the verse says.11.) It was God that made Jesus "Lord" (Acts 2:36).
We could go on with the errors of Peterlag but he just shows a long list of errors instead of dealing with each error on his part.12.) Jesus would have already been the Lord if he was God.
13.) In the future Jesus will be subject to the Father (1 Corinthians 15:28).
14.) Jesus was "sanctified" by God. God does not need to be sanctified.
15.) There is only one who is good and that is God (Luke 18:19).
16.) God is greater than Christ (1 Corinthians 3:23).
17.) It was God who did miracles and wonders through Christ.
18.) Christ was given all authority. He would have already had all authority if he were God (Matthew 28:18).
19.) The phrase "Deity" never appears in the Bible, nor is Christ ever called "Deity."
20.) Ephesians 4:5 says there is one Lord.
21.) 1 Corinthians 8:6 says there is one God.
22.) Jesus called the Father the only God (John 5:44).
23.) Christ made a distinction between speaking against him and the Holy Spirit.
24.) Christ said his doctrine was not his own (John 7:16).
25.) Jesus and God have separate wills (Luke 22:42).
26.) Jesus counted himself and his Father as two (John 8:17).
27.) The Bible always portrays God and Christ as two separate beings.
28.) The Bible makes it clear that Jesus is an "heir" of God (Romans 8:7).
29.) Jesus grew in wisdom, but God is all wise.
30.) Jesus had limited knowledge (mark 13:32).
31.) God made Jesus perfect through suffering (Hebrews 2:10).
32.) Jesus received the holy spirit at his baptism. He would have already had it if he were God.
33.) Jesus was tempted. God cannot be tempted.
34.) Angels ministered and strengthened Jesus. God does not need to be strengthened.
35.) Jesus died. God cannot die.
36.) Jesus says we are his brothers. The Bible never says or even hints that we are brothers of God.
37.) We are told to do greater works than Jesus. Nobody can do greater works than God.
38.) Jesus would have already had "all authority" if he were God and would not need to be given “all authority” (Matthew 28:18).
39.) Jesus would have already had “a name above every name” if he were God and would not need to be given “a name above every name” (Philippians 2:9).
40.) Jesus would have already had "glory" if he were God and would not need to be given "glory" (John 17:22, 24).
41.) Jesus would have already been "appointed" if he were God and would not need to be “appointed” over the Church (Ephesians 1:22).
42.) Jesus was not unoriginated. Christ was the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16).
43.) Jesus was not self-existent. “I live because of the Father” (John 6:57).
44.) Jesus was not immortal. Jesus died and God resurrected him (Acts 13:30).
45.) Jesus was not all wise. Jesus “grew in wisdom” (Luke 2:52).
46.) Jesus was not all-powerful. Christ said “the Son can do nothing by Himself” (John 5:19).
47.) Jesus was not omnipresent. Jesus said after Lazarus died “I am glad I was not there” (John 11:15).
48.) Jesus is called the "Son of God" more than 50 times. Not once is he called "God the Son."
49.) The apostles also taught Jesus was a man (Act 2:22).
50.) The Bible teaches God is the “head” of Christ (Corinthians 11:3).
51.) The supposed “dual nature” of Christ is never stated in the Bible.
52.) There's no verse in the Bible that says we should believe or confess that Jesus is God.
