Although you did not ask me these questions, I feel obligated to help a fellow Richard. You made some statements which can only come from the carnal thinking ...

The examples you chose to explain your disagreement with Jesus's Divinity are simply not compatible with the subject of Jesus's Divinity. There are plenty of metals you can mix that will give you a third metal. These metals are called alloys. Hydrogene and oxygen combine to make water ect.......

As human beings we cannot possibly unlock all the mystery that is God. Therefore we have to go by what the Bible tells us, not try to carnaly define who or what God is. What does the Bible tells us about Jesus:

'[B]y him (Jesus) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth...all things were created by him, and for him." Colossians 1:16

John 10:30-33 - "I and the Father are one." 31The Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" 33The Jews answered Him, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God."


Phil. 2:5-8 - "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
