There's a reason trinitarians almost always say scriptures are saying something without quoting the scripture itself, we'll see why.
John 8:58 56 Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; he saw it and was glad.” 57 Then the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”[k] 58 Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.”
Doesn't necessitate Jesus being Yahweh at all does it?
. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, and I also am working.” 18 For this reason the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because he was not only breaking the sabbath, but was also calling God his own Father, thereby making himself equal to God.
Jesus didn't claim to be equal, some of the Jews said he was trying to make himself equal ... but Jesus responded to that.
in vrs 19
19 Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing
vrs 26
26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself; 27 and he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man.
vrs 30
30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
Exactly, he DID'NT CLAIM equality with God, he was accused of that and he answered.
Mark 2: 5-7 (lets make it to 10)
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this fellow speak in this way? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 At once Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were discussing these questions among themselves; and he said to them, “Why do you raise such questions in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and take your mat and walk’? 10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic—
They say only God has the right to forgive sins .... Jesus says So does the son of man, he doesn't say "yes you're right and I am God," he says they are wrong and God AND the son of man have that right.
Isaiah 43:25
25 I, I am He
who blots out your transgressions for my own sake,
and I will not remember your sins.
Does NOT say GOd alone can forgive sins ....
John 1:3
3 All things came into being through him,
... THROUGH HIM ....
John 1:1 .... The word was god .... we've gone over the greek grammer here before ... the second use of theos has no article, the first one does, this is the ONLY time this is done in the bible .... If you want to debate it we can, but I don't think you can.
Colossians 1:17 (lets start in vrs 15)
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 for in[h] him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
He is the IMAGE of God (as was Adam), and the FIRSTBORN of all creation .... i.e. Not Yahweh.
How did Jesus respond? I ALREADY QUOTED IT IN MY LAST POST.
John 10:
33 The Jews answered, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you, but for blasphemy, because you, though only a human being, are making yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered, “Is it not written in your law,[d] ‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If those to whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’—and the scripture cannot be annulled— 36 can you say that the one whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
He says they are wrong, he does not claim to be God, he is Gods Son ... even Judges and angels call themselves God.
Logicman have some respect for scripture for once and read the verses you cite before you post them, and know what you're posting, don't try and post lies because you won't get away with it, and lies from someone else you post YOU are responsible for .... now maybe you can respond to the scriptures I posted, I won't hold me breath, I know you cannot.
