But you try to deny that Jesus raised himself from the dead per John 2:19-21. This places him alongside the Father and the Holy Spirit. You could not properly reject the testimony of scripture here.I am not arguing that Jesus existed before being a man. I am saying that Jesus isn't God. That's my main point in the Trinitarian subforum. Why are there no examples of Jesus creating or atleast a reference to a trinity creating in the Bible?
I think I have already asked you this before, but when you get a moment, just literally pick any verse that has the word "God" in it and replace it with "Trinity." This shouldn't be a problem for you because God is a trinity in your beliefs and wouldn't violate the rule of adding to or taking away from scripture. What you will discover is that literally anywhere you replace the word "God" with "Trinity" that it creates massive contextual issues and actually debunks the deity of the Jesus, placing him external to the trinity, on more than one occasion. Just try it in your free time.
It is true if you replace God with Trinity, the text would not likely read well. What we find is God talking to the Angel of the Lord. If you put Trinity instead of God, then God would be talking to himself instead of to the Son.
