RE: 3 BIG FAT LIES THAT IS BELIEVED AND PREACHED BY MAINSTREAM CHURCHES

Well, I just said the Bible clearly teaches Jesus is God. To get the Trinity you need the Holy Spirit being personal and God. We can get to that later, if you wish.

First, I don't see how you can deny that John is talking about Jesus in John 1. He says that the "Word became flesh and dwelt among us" and then identifies the word as "the only Son from the Father." There's a whole lot more here, too. This could take up pages, but John is playing on a well established theme in the old testament regarding the bodily appearances of YHWH in which God is identified as "The Word of God."

Second, I think you are misunderstanding the passage in Colossians. Paul says that ALL things were created by him, then goes on to list everything in heaven, on earth, then all things visible and invisible, to include "rulers and authorities." Rulers and authorities is a clear reference to the heavenly host. Are you saying now that Jesus died to save Satan from his sins? Is Satan made new in Christ?

We are a new creation because Jesus condescended to become one of us: he didn't become one of the angels.

Philippians 2:5-8

5 Make your ow attitude that of Christ Jesus,6 who, existing in the form of God,did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His own advantage.7 Instead He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave,
taking on the likeness of men. And when He had come as a man in His external form, 8 He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death—even to death on a cross.

What does it mean that Jesus was equal with God? How could Jesus take on the likeness of men, if he is just a man? Wouldn't he just be born? Taking on the likeness of man implies He was something else: Equal with God.
