Water can be a Liquid, a solid (Ice) and a gas (Steam) but it is all still H2O
Just like the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Another good analogy. God can be anything He wants. But whatever form He assumes, He is still God. And He is beyond human comprehension.
One of the most basic defining attributes known to be true about God is that he has no visible shape or material form. It follows then that anything with a visible shape or material form, including Jesus, cannot be God.
Jesus said the truth will set you free. He did not say the truth was incomprehensible. Whats incomprehensible is how a load of crap could possibly be the truth.
You limit the Father. Not only do spirits have form, but God sat (butt) around the fire with Abraham, spoke (vocal cord), ate (teeth throat stomach). He walked (feet) with Adam and Eve....
Jesus is indeed equal to His Father. Here He was called Emanuel< (GOD, with us). Nothing was created that was not created through Christ. According to Christ, "I and the Father are ONE". "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father".
Jesus was simply saying that if you understood him you will perceive God. God has no visible shape or material form. To see God one must perceive him in the mind not through the eyes. The Father and I are one just means that Jesus and the father are of one accord, not the same being.
The rest of your citations are just silly.
God does not have a butt, feet, or stomach and when God speaks to a prophet he speaks in dreams and visions where there is no audible sound.
The hand of God, the finger of God, the eyes of God, are all just metaphors, not descriptions of body parts in the same way the term son of God is just a relational metaphor indicating a closeness to God and rank above that of any other prophet who would have been called a servant of God.
Remember? A servant does not know what his master is about.
Claiming to be the son of God was not a claim of divine descent but a claim of having inside information, a divine revelation and divine teaching that could not have come into the world through any other man except for the anticipated Messiah, the one chosen by God to speak for God and reveal the wisdom, light, and eternal life in all of his commands. Deut,. 18:18
Thats what Jesus meant by saying that they should accept the evidence of his deeds.
Jesus could not have led people to the hidden wisdom and teaching in the law that had been lost to time for over a thousand years unless it had been revealed to him
first by God. A person can only have what God gives them.
The proof that Jesus offered that he was the son of God, so to speak, was that he had already done, in full view of believers and unbelievers alike, what no other man but the messiah could do.
Now Jesus claiming to be the
first has completely different, more rational, implications for him being
the last that together, as
the first and the last, have nothing whatever to do with Jesus claiming to be God.
