When someone chooses to place a lot of eggs in on basket; I choose to inspect them one-at-a-time for rottenness........
How about apples elsie, it just takes one to rotten the whole barrel, the first apple is the idea that Jesus is God, i don`t know but if Mary is the mother of Jesus why would`nt she be the mother of God? she birthed him he could not have been here before her.
So i believe the real question is was Jesus physically God or was he spiritually God?
The Bible tells us that God is spirit.
But even though Jesus had the holy spirit he was not spirit he was a man.
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
So no Jesus nor Trinity in the Old Testament, eh???
