”For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”
Being eternal is part of the fullness of the Godhead.
If Jesus was God that means he could not have been tempted to sin anyway. (Back to the only Trinitarian answer of TWO NATURES) That makes the Word of God totally contradictory - makes Jesus a fraud because he never would have to overcome sin as he, as God, couldn't have been tempted to sin anyway - ultimately making the cross and the atonement for sin a complete hoax - think about it.
Hebrews 2:17 "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."
NIV
"For this reason he had to be made like them,[fn] fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people."
He was the Christ - the Messiah. H
e was divine in that he came from the Father and had an uncommon measure of the Fathers Holy Spirit. That's how he overcame. Even so, at times, he needed to be empowered and encouraged by an angel to overcome. (Luke 22) IF Jesus was also God, why would he need any empowerment at all from an angel?
The nature of God was changed by Trinitarians. Nobody came out of the first century believing in a Trinity. There's no doubt it has pagan origins. Tertullian didn't come up with the doctrine. He just considered it's possibility. After all, every other religion around him had a trio of gods.
The ultimate Trinitarian cop-out is the illustrious Hypostatic union - AKA - Jesus was fully God and fully man..."Jesus was speaking from his humanity - not his divinity. So I asked, "Can you show me how where Jesus speaks from his 'god nature'? For some reason they can't.
Of course, Jesus was speaking from his human nature when he said the 'Father is greater'! When there's a clear contradiction, that's when they pull the two-nature card.
If they are equal, why did Jesus say in John 14:28
"Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: FOR MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I."
Why did he say in John 10:29,
"My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."
And why did Jesus say in John 13:16
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him."
I'll tell you what blows a hole in the fabricated Trinity and completely changed the nature of God. Hebrews 2:17
For this reason he had to be made like them,[fn] fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
We know God the Father cannot be tempted and He cannot sin. If Jesus was God that means he could not have been tempted to sin anyway and being 'GOD' would never have to overcome it - ultimately making the cross and the atonement for sin a complete hoax - think about it.
In every instance where the word 'firstborn' is used, whether it's about the firstborn among the brethren, or the firstborn over all creation, or the firstborn from among the dead, or the firstborn into the world - or anything else - it always implies a beginning! NOT ONCE does it imply ETERNAL. The Textus Receptus uses the terminology, "BEFORE-most-BROUGHT-FORTH."
Since coming out of the Trinitarian closet about 15 years ago, I've been called an evil apostate, a heretic, not a Christian, spreading poisonous heresy, and condemned. In 2016 I was at the end of my rope with Trinitarian, Christian judgementalism AND STILL AM.
I label trinity as a diabolical, man-made, incomprehensible, incoherent false doctrine devised by demons. Thousands were tortured and murdered over it.
Back in 1974 I went to take the first in a series ministerial 'test' to become licensed. I backed out moments before because I found Trinity (like pre-trib) to be some of the most contradictory and divisive doctrines ever DEVELOPED.
I've studied and debated Trinity many times over the years and believe with all my heart it is a man-made concoction of heresy devised by demons. It is by far the top debacle of all 'Christian' doctrine and the most divisive and destructive nonsense of a doctrine ever. I'll try to be concise. But first...
It's beyond belief what the Christian Church has done in the name of God over this one doctrine alone. The Inquisition invented every conceivable method of pain and torture. I know that I myself would have been a victim of this torture and flames.
Piper and MacArthur are Calvinist. Calvin murdered more people over Trinity. Luther over Baptism. Calvin and Luther were BOTH murderers with about 100 deaths EACH - even children - attributed to their name.
Why would anyone want to pursue 'any' religion that has a history of ostracizing, oppressing, condemning, and murdering their own over the diabolical TRINITY? Bullinger knew that had he disclosed his rejection of trinity he would be ostracized, and his works would never be published. He confessed his rejection of Trinity on his death bed.
I hate TRINITY and hate what this doctrine has done to Christianity and humanity. It has left a horrible stain upon Christianity since its inception.
Trinity saves NOBODY and it condemns NOBODY!
The doctrine is endless. However, EVERY Trinitarian needs to know...
Trinitarians DENY the facts...
1. Jesus became God in AD325 at the council of Nicaea.
2. The holy spirit became God in AD381 at the council of Constantinople.
3. Then, because the Bishops of Rome could not resolve multiple "CO-EQUAL' contradictions, they overcame those contradictions in AD 451 under Pope Leo the Great. That's when Jesus acquired TWO NATURES...the ultimate Trinitarian cop-out.\par
Trinitarian Christianity has caused more stress in my life than any one thing, so, I'm OUT! Just think...
The Trinity doctrine comes from a Church many Protestants believe is 'Babylon the Great' and - THE WHORE OF BABYLON AND THE LITTLE HORN OF DANIEL 7! Isn't that something!
Trinitarians push the nonsense that "Only God can forgive sins and only God can receive worship."
IOW, they claim that since only 'God can receive worship' and since Jesus 'received worship' that means -"Jesus is God!" We have record of Moses, and others in the bible, forgiving and worshipping others which alone proves that narrative false. \par
Most important...
"If Jesus was God that makes him a complete fraud and the cross a complete hoax!"
"The bible says he was tempted in every way and that he knew temptation."
"It also says God cannot be tempted and therefore cannot sin."
Can you see the contradiction?
If Jesus was God that means he could not have been tempted to sin anyway. (Back to the only Trinitarian answer of TWO NATURES) That makes the Word of God totally contradictory - makes Jesus a fraud because he never would have to overcome sin as he, as God, couldn't have been tempted to sin anyway - ultimately making the cross and the atonement for sin a complete hoax - think about it.

Ahhhhhhhh - but everything revolves around the nonsense of a hypostatic union...AKA TWO NATURES - another concoction of the devils.
Six times the OT says "GOD CANNOT BE A MAN!"
Trinity teaches that Jesus is co-equal to God the Father in knowledge, power, and authority.
However,
Jesus said 'the Father is greater'.
He said he doesn't know the day and hour of his return.
He said he can do NOTHING on his own.
Over and over again, Jesus acknowledges his subordination to the Father. How do Trinitarians overcome these clear contradictions of co-equality?
The TWO NATURES - Trinity's most outstanding cop-out. That's precisely how over a hundred Bishops of Rome over the course of about 2-3 hundred years resolved these contradictions! There was no overcoming them any other way other than claiming 'Jesus has two natures'.\par
Over and over again Jesus showed his subordination to God the Father
That...
The Father was greater -
That...
He knew NOT the day or hour of his return -
That..
He was unable to do anything on his own -
How many times did Jesus call for unity among the brethren in John 17? What happened?
Whenever the power of the holy is present, a divine being angel is also often present to administer this POWER.
