No man has seen God. What have we seen? The "SON OF GOD!" Why do we have a hard time saying that Jesus was "The Son of God." If we make Him God, the Eternal Almighty God, then for 33 yrs God was not omnipresent.

We know that Jesus and His Father were one. But how? Not to the point of making the flesh God. That won't work. God is a spirit. Then how can we say that the fleshly man, Jesus, was God? He was the Son of God. Not the second person in the trinity, but the Son of God! Am I repeating myself?

“6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”
1 Corinthians 8:6, KJV.

This has to be a reference of two entities. ..... 2 Gods? ... No! No! It's God and His Son. And they are one .... “21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” John 17:21, KJV. This oneness even includes us.

He is one with the Father but that does not make Him God no more than us being one with the Father makes us God.

BeenThinkin .... A lot!
