Yes, I believe Jesus is God.
Said so in a previous comment.
You're being vague, though. Not sure why.
Does it have to be that way?
No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father's side,
he has made him known. John 1:18
That is why Jesus told his disciples the following...
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip?
Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? John 14:9
In order for us to see God, God has determined Himself to be a Trinity.
If there were no created man, or angels?
God would not have to be a Trinity.
It is for our sakes, so we can know Him, that He is a Trinity.
grace and peace ........
The angel of God was IN the Bush.
And, the voice came from within the bush.
You need to stay away from the catnip.
Hades was where all deceased souls went when until the Cross and the ascension of Christ took place.
Then it all changed.
But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
Therefore He says:
Therefore He says:
“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.”
(Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
Before the Cross?
All believers that died went below the earth and had to remain until all sins were cleansed by the Blood of Christ.
Then... after the victory on the Cross?
All those who were being held captive below the earth?
Jesus lead up to heaven in a long train of souls up to be in Heaven.

Messengers. Messengers who almost always turned out to be angels.
Please...
Read Genesis 18, where "three men" appeared to Abraham before his tent.
Which we later learn, are the two angels who went to Sodom.
And, the third one who stayed behind before Abraham who is referred to as the Lord.
Shalom and grace.....
OK>>>>
SOOOOOO It was the "messenger" of God was standing in the midst of a burning bush?
And? (make sense of what you said now)
Please note who overcame the world, no mention of us, even in union with Him.
Maybe not of you, but I am one of everyone in union with Him.
How can the new covenant be a " restoration of the old? Then it would not be new. We, who are born again, Jews and Gentiles, are partakers of a better covenant but not the covenant that contains everything in the old covenant, such as land ( not Gentiles anyway). " But now hath He (Jesus) obtained a more excellent ministry ( than Moses'), by how also He is the mediator OF A BETTER COVENANT, which was established upon BETTER PROMISES. For IF THE FIRST COVENANT HAD BEEN FAULTLESS, THEN SHOULD NO PLACE HAVE BEEN SOUGHT FOR A SECOND. For finding fault with them (Jewish people), He saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH: *** NOT ACCORDING TO TYHE COVENANT I MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS*** in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in My covenant, and I regarded them not." Hebrews 8:6-9. Why go back to a faulty covenant? If you've ever been on a job with a union you would know, if interested, that when the time came for a new memorandum of understanding (contract) you negotiated to keep the parts of the old contract that benefitted the workers most and added addendums of favor to the workers. Knowing that a contract and a covenant are different and that with a covenant with God there is no negotiation, the idea is about the same, agreements with responsibilities for both parties to uphold. " A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26 God is speaking to Jewish people and, for the most part, this has not happened yet and will only happen when the Jewish people become Messianic, like yourself, receive Jesus Christ as their Lord, Master and Savior.
Again, " AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES ***FACE TO FACE ***, as a man speaketh unto his friend..........." Exodus 33:11 You need to tell the writer of Exodus, I believe his name is Moses, and argue that with him. I believe what he wrote because it is inspired by the Holy Spirt. Do you speak to you friend through an angel, or face to face?
"On second thought' was an indication that I had answered my own question of how He grew in wisdom and stature. The other question was someone else's and is unanswerable naturally, there's not enough information given in scripture. The best I can answer I can give to that question is that it was supernatural.
The spirit is not the soul and the soul is not the body but all three are one, aren't they ?
I'm being more clear than you are. I believe in Jesus as God who came in the flesh, you just believe in Jesus as God.
No, nothing's changed, all deceased still go to Hades. If all go to heaven, how is anyone supposed to be resurrected from the grave? You've nullified the blessed hope of resurrection.
It was a theophany of God the Father. No man could see him directly and live, therefore He must communicate with his people through messengers or other mediums.
