Argument against the Doctrine of the Trinity. (And keep it clean, please.)

He has always been the Son. God's firstborn.

Begotten, (His spirit) before all ages by the Father alone. The Deity without limit, (fullness), that was pleased to live in Him was gifted not begotten.

The Son who was, His spirit, descended into the body that was prepared for Him. As we read the Father is living in Him. They are one.

He ascended to where He was BEFORE.

"Father into your hands I commit My Spirit"

So its yes and No.
Is Jesus God?
Yes, He is all that the Father is.
No, He has always been the Son.
He lives by the Father in Him and never dies.

The throne of God and the lamb forever and forever.
Was Jesus firstborn as in first created person?
 
JW also use same terminology as Jesus to them is a god, and Holy Spirit is power of God
That's part of the problem whenever the Trinity is discussed: same terms are used with disparate meaning. The words "God," Christ," and "divinity" hold different meaning to the orthodox Christian, the JW, the LDS, and any other unorthodox pov.
 
Was Jesus firstborn as in first created person?
First everything, that is all creation. -His spirit-Yes, He is a person
He has the preeminence in all things,

Begotten of the Father alone before all ages -His spirit - A Son
 
Both proceed forth from within God the Father (post #90).

Which makes three distinct divine persons (deity), Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Your free to believe the Spirit of God is a person other than the Father. The person of the Father.
But I disagree.

You have that stated here.
Matt 10:20
or it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

There would need to be a 3rd distinct mind apart from the Father and Christ Jesus to establish a 3rd person. The Spirit acts and conveys according to the will of the mind of the Spirit not on His own. Just as your spirit and your mind are you.
 
Are each of them as much God as the Father is?
The Spirit is the Father as its His Spirit. The Spirit of God. But the Spirits acts according to the will of the mind of the Spirit. The Fathers Spirit is Deity and there is only one.
The Spirit/Deity of the Father without limit dwells/lives in His Son and they are one. How could Jesus be one with the Father and NOT be all that the Father is?
Again Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being,

A Son who is before all things and in the form of God.

You will note Jesus never prayed to nor called the Spirit His God or Father. This should state to you Mary conceived by the Spirit of the Father who is the true God.

Is Jesus a created human. Please answer Yes or No.
