I’m not interested in debating this. I was just pointing out that not all people who believe in Jesus believe that he was God. Many understand him to be the son of God, a separate and distinct soul, with free will to choose.

Believe whatever helps you sleep at night.

Translation: "I can't Biblically support what I've tried to ignorantly export."

(Yeah, I know. We get it. You either don't worship Jesus; or never have, and now that I've called you on both what you tried to export as "Bible knowledge" as well as challenge you to stop discussing "worshiping Jesus" in the abstract, you say, "let's move along now.")

Here's somethiing borrowed from Freeper William Clark, illustrating how one can have faith in 'a' Christ but not the true Savior Christ. 'Believe whatever helps you sleep at night' may sound serviceable to you, but God's Spriit still stands at the door of the soul and knocks. Of course there are effective drugs to blunt the rapping, as no doubt you know:

"I always like to use the analogy of Jim Caviezel [In Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of The Christ']. Like the Mormon Jesus, he dressed the part, spoke the same words (in the original language, no less), and was referred to as Jesus Christ within a specific context, but it makes all the difference in the world whether one worships and depends upon him for their salvation or the genuine article."
