He was the Son of God. The Trinity as defined by THE CHURCH, is a fallacy. Here is why. Read all of Paul's introductions. He always says God the Father & Lord Jesus Christ, never ever acknowledging the Holy spirit. The Father speaks to the Son & the Son speaks to the Father, never does either speak to, or get spoken to, by the Holy Spirit. Simply because it is not a PERSON of a Trinity, but the power of the Father & Son to deal with mankind. Simple. The CHURCH defines the Trinity as 3 PERSONS in 1 God. God & the Holy Spirit are not PERSONS. That definition brings God down to our level, which is blasphemy. Jesus/Yahshua was a PERSON & is now a Elohim/Spirit, sitting at the right hand, of his Father, on his throne, which he earned by his sacrifice!
