Colossians 2:9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily

The Bible says "all the fullness of the godhead" dwells bodily in Christ. Either we accept what it says, and fashion our thoughts around what is revealed by God, or we can try to fit the Bible around our thoughts and reasonings, as if our reasonings are more authoritative than Scripture.

God gave us reasoning ability so we can understand His Word, not find ways to contradict its statements.

godhead isn't a thing. It's Deity. The fullness of Deity dwelt in Christ. All the attributes of God.

Godhead is an old way of saying GODHOOD.

Part of the Godhead is the Holy Ghost, if ALL this was dwelling in the man and he was received up into glory how are we filled with the Holy Ghost. Maybe I am not explaining my definition of ALL very well. Who was Jesus praying to in the garden? He was not calling himself Father.

Took a little break. Trying to clear my head and do some research. I see that I am coming across more argumentative than inquisitive!!

We agree that the fullness of God dwelled in the man Jesus Christ and I am glad to see this.

There was another thread a few months ago where it seemed that we did not agree on this Bible premise.

Exactly.
This is why the man Jesus Christ was able to tell His disciples that He would be IN them.

Well its good you came to your senses because I haven't changed my christology in a little over 25 years.
