Trinity DebateJesus Christ is LordI am not ignoring anything found in God's word. I have not denied we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit or that God poured out His Spirit on the Day of Pentecost or that the man Jesus Christ was highly exalted: Philippians 2:9-11 9 Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. NAS And is the only mediator between God and man: 1 Timothy 2:5-7 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony borne at the proper time. 7 And for this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. NAS You seem to have chosen to ignore the fact Paul who was chosen by Jesus Himself to be the apostle to both the Jews and gentiles never refers to Jesus as God. You are also ignoring the full context of Acts 2 where Peter refers to Jesus as a man: Acts 2:22-24 22 "Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know-- 23 this Man, delivered up by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. 24 "And God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. NAS Peter never refers to Jesus as God. Greeks who were influenced by Greek paganism, Greek philosophy, and Gnosticism developed the doctrine of the Trinity by interpreting Scripture as they pleased with the support and encouragement of Constantine whose main concern was the stability of his empire not God's truth. |
