I want you to note. I know what this paper covers and states, is not accepted by most Denominations. I am a student and I spent a lot of time in my Bible which is mainly the `Revised Standard Version.' I can only say what I have discovered. As stated elsewhere in this essay,  if you disagree with me let me know and show why you think different

JESUS IS NOT GOD

This is the end of my discussion on whether Jesus is God or my position that Jesus is not God.
If you scroll down I have listed my last reasons I believe Jesus is the son of God.
1/ It is clear that as we read about Jesus' life, Jesus himself places himself under God and he does what the Father wants him to do. 
2/ In heaven we are told Jesus in heaven sits at the right hand of God. That itself tells you the Jesus is not God.
The Denominations state that yes, `God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit are three in the headship, but are one.' I agree with that statement. 
It is a different matter to say that Jesus in his relationship(headship) with God, that he (Jesus) is really God. When the evidence shows the opposite.
I am happy to say, `When we see God we see Jesus. When we see Jesus we see God and when we talk about the Holy Spirit we are talking about God. They are one.'
Therefore 

Having said all this, remember, I am a student, therefore if I am in error show me.

Final two reasons I make my claim above.
Left column to the right.
Matthew chapter 17


There you see Jesus is with Elijah and Moses.
The three disciples see the exchange. Then a bright cloud comes and a voice states, `This is my Son whom I love. God says more, `I am well pleased with him. Then he tells Peter, John and James, `Listen to him'.
Clearly a father and son relationship.

In heaven

Jesus with his father
Colossians  chapter 3

Jesus (Christ) is sitting at the right hand of God.
That tells us that the son is the son, sitting on the right of the father.

My conclusion is stated through deduction.
My thinking is that my study has strong roots and the plant is strong.

I am happy for you to use induction as the way to show that Jesus is God.
The challenge is there. One day in many years a person will look at my site and take the challenge.

I serve a living God.
I am sure you do as well.
Best wishes, Hendrik
