@otso 😂 Perhaps you feel original and maybe somewhat enlightened in proclaiming that Jesus is not God, but actually your sad song was played by those that crucified Him. So sorry that you are 2,000 years too late in your attempt to be original. 😥 Ironically, your quote from Revelation was written by a man that was banished for teaching the very thing that you reject and he was bannished by those that espoused the very same claim that you champion. So! GREAT NEWS! Not all is lost dear friend, for I am certain that if you work really really hard, maybe you could successfully get @Cherishingsparrows2020 and myself also banished on the Island of Patmos for our heretical beliefs that Jesus is Lord and there - on that island - we might also get a revelation that you could one day also misquote.
Here's to grand visions!

@sinbach @Cherishingsparrows2020

the Scripture teaches us that Christ has God, not that Christ is God.

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Ephesians 1:3)

@otso 😂 Ohhhh......so that's what made the Jewish leaders so angry that they demanded He be crucified! Now I get it. It was because He had God, not because He was God.
Yes. Now that I think about it, you are right. Having God, you know, like in your pocket, was truly blasphemous.
Please teach me more about your polytheism, because I am fascinated.

@sinbach @Cherishingsparrows2020

“heretical beliefs that Jesus is Lord”

that is not heretical

it is written: “there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 8:6)

it is also written that: “there is but one God, the Father” (1 Corinthians 8:6)

Jesus being the Lord doesn’t mean that he is God because only the Father is God.

Jesus is Lord because God has made him both Lord and Messiah. (Acts 2:36)

@otso @sinbach

Please read John 1:1-15

One important question Jesus asked His followers was, "Who do you say I am?" Today we still individually answer the same question and live with fruit of our answer, whether good or bad/right or wrong.

I have given Him my answer. He has shown us clearly who He is. There is power in His name and demons tremble. Do you want to know what He has done in my life? Or do you simply look for an argument? If you are only looking to argue, I have no time for that. I have much more important things to do. But, if you want to know how Jesus can turn darkness to light, I will be glad to share.

@Cherishingsparrows2020 @sinbach

Christians read the first chapter of John and think that it says that Jesus is God.

That is not what you should believe.

The purpose of the Gospel is this:

“But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31)

That is what you should believe.

There is no other message in the Gospel of John, don’t believe the Christians who come with another message based on the Gospel of John, they are lying to you.

@Cherishingsparrows2020 you are awesome and honestly - you are more patient and kind than I am. I do not think that the problem is that @otso doesn't understand that he is preaching a message of polytheism, but instead it is that he doesn't care. I have learned in life that you can teach the ignorant, but rarely the apathetic.

@sinbach @Cherishingsparrows2020

Christians don’t believe in God and Jesus Christ.

If they did they would have the same confession as Simon Peter had when Jesus asked his disciples:

“Who do you say I am?”

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16)

Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 16:17)


The apostate Christianity has a totally different confession:

“We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a reasonable soul and body; consubstantial with us according to the manhood; in all things like unto us, without sin; begotten before all ages of the Father according to the Godhead, and in these latter days, for us and for our salvation, born of the virgin Mary, the mother of God, according to the manhood; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inseparably; the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the union, but rather the property of each nature being preserved, and concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son, and only begotten, God the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the prophets from the beginning have declared concerning him, and the Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us, and the Creed of the holy Fathers has handed down to us.” (Chalcedonian Creed)
