Mike you are breaking context with that approach and forcing a bias. You have to account for the 'and' which is connecting the phrases having to do with the Son. There is nothing said to indicate a change in the speaker or person spoken about.Kathi

In this quote from Eusebius, we see that he referred to the Son as the 'Creator Himself.'Quote Such, then, was the Son, sole-begotten of His will, Master of fair crafts and Creator of all things, Whom the Highest God, God and Father of the Creator Himself first before all begat, setting in Him and through Him the creative proportions of things…[Read more]

Eusebius wrote this:Quote But these are all earthly images and touched with mortality, parts of this lower corrupt and earthly constitution, whereas the scope of the theology we are considering far transcends all illustrations, and is not connected with anything physical, but imagines with the acutest thought a Son Begotten, not at one time…[Read more]

Mike,Here are your 'for instance' scriptures:Genesis 2:24, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one (echad) flesh.” Here, a man is described as leaving his father and mother, cleaving to his wife, and both of them becoming one (echad) flesh.One other illustration where echad…[Read more]

Mike,Within the quote, the Son is the subject:8But of the Son He says, “ YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER, AND THE RIGHTEOUS SCEPTER IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM.9“ YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS; THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE YOUR COM…[Read more]

Mike,you wrote:Quote If Jesus is not the One who made all these things, then he must be one of the things that One made.That's false teaching. If Jesus is not the one being addressed, that doesn't mean that He wasn't with the one being addressed and that the one being addressed didn't make all things by Jesus. Of course when He is spoken of as…[Read more]

Mike and Irene,If you don't believe that Jesus is God as the Son and the Highest one together with the Father then you are believing in an idol god if He is anything less.If you use Jesus' name, and you do not believe that He is God with the Father, then you violate this command:Exodus 23:13“Now concerning everything which I have said to you, be o…[Read more]
