Of course I accept the Epistles as a part of God's word. Show me where, anywhere in The Scriptures where it states "God the Son?" Show me anywhere that Y'shua says or even agrees that he is God?
Who declared that you are god so that you could declare who is a heretic & who is not?
I did not say that you are a heretic. Read my words again. I'm not God, but I have His Spirit and I know the Bible.
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
John 8:58 "Before Abraham was (born) , I am." "I am" is the name God identified Himself to Moses. (Exodus 3:14).The Jews knew exactly what He was saying, hence the attempt to stone Jesus for blasphemy.
The expression "Son of Man" is a reference to the book of Daniel, the visions that he had. Lord Jesus is the Son of Man.
God called Jesus His Son. Is that not good enough for you? (Matthew 17:5)
Did Lord Jesus rebuke Thomas for calling Him God? Not at all.
John 20:27-29
Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas replied, “
My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.
Lord Jesus did not come to earth to prove Himself as God. He came to represent man as the Last Adam. His nature did not change.
Philippians 2:6-9
"Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.…"
