To Jeffrey: Don't feel good about being in error

Dear J,

I see you enjoy being in error, that's a pity. You claim to believe in the Bible yet you denied Jesus's Divinity. Jesus is God, it's all over the Bible. You just choose to ignore it.

Col. 1:16-17, "For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

Now who do you think this verse is talking about? Let's read what the apostle Peter says.

II Peter: 1-2
1 Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord;

How about the apostle Thomas.

John 20:26-28
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

How about the prophet Isaiah.

"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6).

Now Jeffrey, do you think the apostles Peter, Thomas, Paul got it wrong when they called Jesus God. Do you think the prophet Isaiah got it wrong? I would like to hear your answer on that.

Jesus is worshiped in the Bible. But like everything else I'm sure you will pretend it's not there.

Matt. 8:2: "And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." Was this the Sabbath?

Matt. 14:33: "Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him"
