[QUOTE="zephcom, post: 71899219, member: 400000"] Your concept, as you laid it out here, makes sense...Three beings with the surname of God. The problem is that you have created a polytheistic God. That is not all that far fetched because a polytheistic God was one of the options on the table when Christian Bishops were trying to please Constantine and win the coveted 'state religion' title. It was, eventually, defeated in favor of the Trinity God which is a single God with multiple personalities. It appears the need to maintain the mono-theistic God concept to appeal to Jews (remember, Jesus was a Jew and Christianity usurped the Jewish history as its own) and to present a complete contrast to the multitude of pagan Roman gods won the day. I think it is easy to present Biblical data suggesting some extremely advanced spiritual levels for Jesus. Chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians certainly makes the case for Jesus being such an advanced being that the Father gave Him complete control of the earth. But it also clearly makes the case that Jesus is inferior to the Father and willingly makes Himself subject to the Father. The same chapter also appears to make the case that Jesus was as human as Adam was. Given that within a few verses Paul has declared Jesus both human AND spiritually advanced enough to defeat even death raises the suspicion that you and I and the over seven billion other people now alive on the planet have, at least, the potential of becoming as spiritually advanced as Jesus is.
