Naidamar:
You even have no problem with the beliefs of other christians such as YO who believe that Jesus is not the God of the OT, and you even went on to say that you have the same belief as YO although in just previous post you said Jesus was the God of the OT.
Clarification time.
The difference between Sol and I is SEMANTIC. Evidence:
1) I don't think that Sol would disagree with the statements placed in my last post. Both the 3 "Onlys" and Grace Seeker's quote. Verify that for me, Sol, if you would...
2) Earlier in this thread, Sol said that he "can't really find anything i disagree with (yet!)" while saying that my language is "far too jewish" for his taste "though this is not a bad thing". His exact words. I admit emphatically that my language is more early Jewish Christian than formally Athanasian. Just different emphases on the same reality. Whereas I put more focus on the "underivative YHWH-ness" of God the Father (such that I've been saying that YHWH IS God the Father), Sol puts more focus on Jesus being actually being the "only begotten YHWH" (such that he's been saying that Jesus IS actually YHWH). It was the same semantic issue that I had with Grace Seeker.
3) I believe that the nuances are made clear by the analogies.
This should answer your question...
You said Jesus (p) is not The One God, but he is very God.
What is the difference between "the one god" and "very god"?
The specific term is "very God of very God"
