this is a strawman since we Christian Trinitarians don't hold mary above anyone- she was in need of a Savior as all men. Jesus was her Savior for her sins.
So you confess that Mary is the mother of the Lord according to the flesh only? Who is the Father of the Lord?
And Jesus did not need to be saved since He was the Savior of all the world. No man can save anyone form their sins. Psalm 49:7.
Scripture teaches Jesus was brought under judgement by God and found innocent.
1 Timothy 3
16By common confession, the mystery of godliness is great:
He appeared in the flesh,
was vindicated by the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
was proclaimed among the nations,
was believed in throughout the world,
was taken up in glory.
Though sinless, he still required saving like we all do:
Hebrews 5
7During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.
So since Jesus is our Savior, He is not an idol since only God can save a man from their sins. And we know Christ is God, Savior, Lord, Redeemer, Creator, Holy, sinless just like the Father.
So Jesus is an idol because he isn't God. You can't prove Jesus is God using Scripture. Only God is the Creator, Jesus is never said to be that in all of Scripture. My favorite passage disproving Jesus as the Creator is in Acts 4. I normally can't get you guys to read the whole thing though. I like it because it also demonstrates that the disciples didn't believe Jesus is God or the Creator.
God is the Creator, Jesus and David are servants.
Acts 4
23On their release,
Peter and John returned to their own people and reported everything that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24When the believers heard this,
they lifted up their voices to God with one accord. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them. 25You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David:
‘Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
26The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the Lord
and against His Anointed One.’
27In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against
Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed. 28They carried out what Your hand and will had decided beforehand would happen.
29And now, Lord, consider their threats, and enable Your servants to speak Your word with complete boldness,
30as You stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders
through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”
Like Father, like Son- both are God hence He is called God manifest in the flesh, All the fulness of Deity dwells bodily, who being in the very nature GOD did not think it robbery to be EQUAL to God. He who has seen ME has seen the Father, Before Abraham was I AM, I Am the Alpha and Omega- the ALMIGHTY, I Am the First and the Last, I Am the beginning and the End, I Am the Good Shepherd, The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. He is the ONE LORD, ONLY LORD. He is YHWH the Great I Am - He is the Father of Eternity, the Mighty God, Emmanuel. He is before all created things and created all things. In Him al things exist. He holds all things in creation together as its Creator. The Word was God, the Word who was God became Flesh- man and dwelled among us and we beheld HIS GLORY. God will not share His Glory with anyone. Jesus said He shared the same GLORY together with the Father before the world existed. He is the True God and Eternal life, He was worshipped as God/Lord/Savior, by those He healed, His disciples and all who are in heaven now.
I could go on and on for hours on end showing from memory all His Divine Titles, descriptions, scriptures declaring His Deity. I'm just beginning to get warmed up, this coffee I roasted is fantastic.
next fallacy.................
hope this helps !!!
What is your work around for Jesus lacking about 2 dozen divine names and titles that only God has? For starters, Jesus is never called God Almighty, or YHWH, or LORD of hosts, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the I AM, never called the only true God, never worshipped nor prayed to after he was taken to heaven, etc. That means he isn't God.
