>Michael, I apologize.  You are not polytheistic.  You are following
Arianism.  I apologize for 
>misunderstanding your field of opinion.  However, Arian was also incorrect
in his denial of the 
>Deity of Christ.

Arius was wrong about a few things; but he had some good arguments.


>However, I must dispute you over the basis that Jesus, although a man, was
still the express 
>image of God, retaining the full power of Deity.  The Word clearly states
that the fullness of 
>the Godhead, ie Deity, was present in the body of Jesus Christ.

That sounds perfectly correct to me; no argument.

>The Deity of Jesus comes by revelation.  "No man can say that Jesus Christ
is Lord, but by the 
>Spirit."  One MUST have the Spirit in order to fully understand the full
Deity of Jesus. 

I believe in baptism in Jesus name, speaking in tongues, laying on hands,
and driving out devils. I mean to speak of the Diety IN Jesus, not that
Diety that IS Jesus. It's two different concepts, one Dynamic Modalism, the
other Monarchial Modalism.

>of Almighty God.  In this I am not blinded.  I understand that Christ was
the IMAGE of God in 
>that he is the ONLY form of God any man will ever see.  In this I am not
blinded.  

But still, I have no quarrel on this point.

>The Word delcares wisdom is justifed of her children.  My friend, your
words are not declaring 
>any wisdom - only vain babblings of which we are expressly told to beware.

I'm very sorry to hear you speak that way of the Scriptures, Michael,
because it is them to which I defer, not the ecclesiastical tradition of my
fathers.

>I am also curious as to know what your pastor has to say of your beliefs...

If he ignores the Words of Christ, he is no man's Pastor!
