God has ministering angels , not just one . They work on his behalf , 7 spirits before his throne?
The Hebrew is specific this is God alone revealing He is Omnipresent and can work together with Himself to do what He wants done.

This is Judgement and God personally conducted the Judgement Himself.
 
So why does John say, "And the Word was God"? If Jesus is the Word, then Jesus is God.

God's word does say so, as I quoted those verses from John 1.

I don't see how it could be any clearer. John wrote that Jesus was with God in the beginning, that Jesus was God.

And John begins by saying:

(Joh 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(Joh 1:2) He was in the beginning with God.
(Joh 1:3) All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
If Jesus was with God using your own words that’s proof he is not God . If you are with your wife you still are not your wife . Just with her . You do not see the contradiction of scripture do you , you can not be with someone and be them too . That’s why context is so important and the Spirit of truth . Not all translations of scripture are accurate. There can be no contradiction if so there is a problem. In light of all obvious scripture it keeps things in correct perspective. The word was of God would be closer to the truth . We know there is only one God so you cannot create another from a single verse . To find this verse and make a theory out of it against overwhelming scriptures is an error .

Yes one God he stated that many times . God operates as he chooses and he uses Angels many times . Ever read the Bible?
 
Jesus is the Son OF God
Not God the Son of that would be an opposite of truth and anti christ .
 
Let’s see a verse where Jesus says I A M the LORD thy God ! Or admit he is not. Because if he was then he lied to the apostles and the world . God cannot lie .
Case was closed a long time ago .

No, because John says the Word was with God and He was God.
If you are with your wife you still are not your wife . Just with her .
Yes that is true, but I would never have said (before my wife died), "I am my wife" or "My wife is me," in the way John wrote that the Word was with God and the Word was God.

I have looked at 12 different English translations of that verse, and all except one say, "the Word was God." The exception is the NET which says, "The Word was fully God." Perhaps some Greek scholar can tell us whether your suggestion of "the Word was of God" would be an accurate translation.

I agree that there is only one God. I have never suggested that there is more than one. The Bible makes clear that the one God exists in three "Persons", Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I have already quoted the opening verses of John 1 showing that Jesus Christ is fully God. That the Holy Spirit is God is shown in these verses from Acts:

(Act 5:3) But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?
(Act 5:4) While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

The trinity doctrine is so full of nonsense.

1+1+1=1 go to a grade school and get educated please .

Jesus is 100 % God and 100% man .

lol so contradictory can we take you seriously?

Please send your post to the need a laugh thread !
All one can do is pray that God, through the Holy Spirit, enlightens you to the Truth of Scripture BEFORE the day you appear at the Judgement Seat.
You said to someone else:

Show me a a dozen verses where Jesus says he is God ? You can’t they don’t exist. You ignore the scriptures in a whole , I’m not interested in showing you all your errors because it’s like trying to make a blind man see . End of discussion.


Show me a dozen verses where Scripture says "Jesus wept." You can't because they don't exist. Yet, it is completely Truth. When one searches through the Old and New Testaments, they could probably find far more than a dozen Scriptures that proclaim the Divinity of Christ.

To deny the Divinity of Christ, is to deny Christ Himself. To do that is to deny God Himself. Good luck on the day you appear before the Judgement Seat.

There is one God . All things come from the one God who is father of all . You don’t get it . The word OF look it up . Sorry but 1 is 1 not 3 or more . Simple the truth is as Jesus said except you become as a little child ye shall not enter into the kingdom . That verse makes more sense to me all the time . OF God is not the ONE infinite GOD . I don’t need to look up men’s books the Spirit of truth is great !😊

Show us a verse where Jesus explictly states that He isn't God

What "men's books?" I didn't mention any.
 

1 Timothy 3:16​

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Any mans books . We have no need that any man teach us . God does that through the Holy Spirit , known also as the spirit of truth , that the world cannot understand. Unless God teaches them as he does . So all can come to the knowledge of the truth . But false doctrines like trinity and many others are obstacles, Jesus warned us even believers that these false teachings can do harm to them Matthew 24 . It’s plain as day to me . I have been reading the Bible over 50 yrs and it has clarified many false teachings with truth . I’m still learning and I am amazed, it certainly is the living word of God . God never leaves a seeking soul in the dark . Jesus said seek and you shall find … read the Bible for yourself prayerfully , the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom . I pray some may be helped in finding the truth of Scripture. It does take effort and an honest heart .

Right. Sorry, I thought (wrongly, it seems) that you were answering something I had mentioned in my post about a man's book(s).
 
May God bless his word and truth in Jesus of Nazareth s name the Christ/ messiah the Son of the living God .I don’t claim to be without error , Im still reading and learning from the Bible . I have overcome much and many and seek to continue to be an overcomer . And endure . Not be a casualty. God bless as the truth sets you free in Jesus name .
