It depends. What book did you read last and why?

I always get something out of Jonah when I read it, so if
you haven't read Jonah for a while, I can suggest that.

I'll also second the suggestion of a gospel.

the context of Isa 9 does confirm that Isa 9:6 is in the future, that’s why
Bible translators used “will/shall” for this text and that this does not
happen from the past as you are implying. If this title happened in the
past, and continue to happen “shall/will” is not the proper word to use
but since most Bible translations agree in using “shall/will”, this means
that the title “Mighty God” has not been given yet at that time.

The title Mighty God is used for the Son (in the future tense, will/shall,
therefore with a beginning) and ALSO for the Father (which has no
beginning, always is the Mighty God). But only the Father is called
“Almighty God”.




Your explanation of Trinity is another version. What I stated, is a
version of another Trinitarian that I talked to. Well, as you said, that
person’s version is a slander to God, which is a point that I agree with.


The parable of Luke 20:9-16 will tell you the difference of Son and the
Father and their being, their uniqueness. As I have stated, when the
Father sent his son, the WHOLE being of the “Son” went, not just a
portion.

Now, you say that Jesus is omnipresent. The word “omnipresent” is defined
by m-w.com as “present in all places at all times”. Well, Jesus’ being
present is NOT at all times. There is a condition, “. 20 For where there
are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.”
Only when there are 2 or 3 gathered together in his name, is Jesus
present. Therefore you cannot say that Jesus is present in ALL PLACES AT
ALL TIMES. Jesus (or any of his being) was “NOT THERE” when Lazarus
died. If you’ll say that Jesus’ being is omnipresent, then John 11:15
conflicts with your explanation. If any part of Jesus is everywhere, then
Jesus won’t say “I was not there” because a part of his being is
everywhere at all times. Do you really think Jesus is literally in your
stomach, in your toilet, in your mouth, in your hair, in your shoes, or
in any garbage? Well, if Jesus is not there, then he is not omnipresent,
i.e., PRESENT IN ALL PLACES AT ALL TIMES.
