In other words, most of them don't even give the slightest idea that the Father is the Son and vice versa. But I guess you are right.....we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
Oh ok. Did you understand that I was posting the scriptures to show how the same titles the Father holds, the Son does as well? I was trying to show you how they are identical. Both Father and Son is the only saviour. Both father and son is that Rock. Both Father and Son has His reward with him. How scripture repeatedly says I am he, which Christ reiterates on occasion, and so forth. That was my intent.
Love Always,
And that's why Trinitarains call Christ God.
You said earlier:
I never denied that distinctions are made. I can be refered to as several distinct persons, yet I am still one person. I can be a father, husband, employee, and a friend. In each one of these manifestations of myself, I would be playing a different role. The role of a father is not the same as a husband, which is not the same as a employee, etc. In each of these, I am distinctly different but yet I'm still one man.
This can be attributed to Christ being called a prophet, a carpenter's son, a rabbi, etc. However, when we are talking about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we are not talking about roles. If Christ plays the role of the Father then He wouldn't talk about Him being the only way
to the Father and He wouldn't call the Father another witness as He did in John 8.
