limjunus,From what you say, you do NOT believe in the literal Son of God which is the foundational truth of the church. The literal son would be the 'like begat like' type, the very God of/from very God, Light of Light.

Jesus WAS killed because the Pharisees believed that He blasphemed:Mak 14:60Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?” 61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the B…[Read more]

Limjunus,Thank you for your response, apparently you do not believe a portion of the Nicene creed because you believe that it contradicts those verses that you put up for your 'belief foundation' but they do not contradict them with correct understanding. In the OT, God works through His power and wisdom, His 'arm' and His 'Word.' Therefore He…[Read more]

BD,Nathan the prophet called Solomon a servant to King David but we know that he was a literal son. See that here:24 And Nathan said, “My lord the king, have you said, 'Adoni'jah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne'?25 For he has gone down this day, and has sacrificed oxen, fatlings, and sheep in abundance, and has invited all…[Read more]

Thanks William for your explanation although I don' think it is trinitarian. It sounds more like modalism to me but I could be wrong.Here is a copy of the Nicene Creed that unites the vast majority of the churches that consider themselves Christian.

Quote (seekingtruth @ Sep. 23 2012,03:49)As God works in our life He reveals truth to us at the appropriate time.

Frank,you said:Quote No, what you have presented certainly does not lend any “help” in this matter!Sorry you think so. Nevertheless, I have found a great deal of support from the early church on John 1:18 saying 'the only begotten God.'I don't want to argue this with you.
