It is as silly to disregard that because we do not read JESUS IS ALMIGHTY as it is to hear someone say they are your father, and then someone else claims the man's name is George, and you deny your father's name is George.



Of course not. Oneness explains that. Jesus Christ is used in designation of God's manifestation in flesh. the manifestation in flesh is just that -- IN FLESH. And FLESH is subservient to God, whether it is God's own manifestation in flesh or not.



No, you are wrong. The ANGEL did not say He was alpha and omega,. AND THAT SHOWS YOU STILL REFUSE TO READ Rev 22:16 which PROVES the ANGEL IS NOT JESUS, but rather was SENT BY JESUS. You refuse to read that in line with Rev 1:1 in reference to the angel. You blind yourself purposely.



You are totally misreading the text due to aversion against Rev 22:16.



You fail to realize that JESUS is not the ANGEL in Rev 1:1 due to rev 22:16.... UNLESS you just fail to admit you were wrong about that now.




Verse 1, chapter 1 says they both were delivering the same identical message from God then the whole book describes God's place and Jesus' separate place in God's kingdom.

our of the option that says JESUS IS NOT GOD, rather than the COMMON SENSE conclusion that THERE IS ONLY ONE ALPHA AND OMEGA by the very meaning of that term. The double emphasis upon being Alpha and Omega (first letter of the Greek and last letter) connected with BEGINNING AND ENDING (meaning the same thing) is to relate the idea of ONLY ONE BEING who is able to make such a claim. Two cannot be the EVERYTHING!

This is tripled in emphasis by Rev 1:11's words about Jesus being THE FIRST AND THE LAST.

Your argument falls flat on its face when you read into the Alpha and Omega as being MORE THAN ONE BEING. You would sooner believe AN ANGEL can be the Alpha and Omega while at the same time the ALMIGHTY GOD is the Alpha and Omega than believe there is absolutely only one God and He is Alpha and Omega.

You claim to walk in Islam. You claim Islamic faith. Islamic faith prides itself in ONE GOD and no trinity, etc. Yet you choose to believe there is MORE THAN ONE ALPHA AND OMEGA. how anti-one God can you get?[/QUOTE]

Only you declare Alpha and Omega as 'must be God'

Rev 1:1 clearly explains that God gave Jesus the message, Jesus signified the message by sending it through his messenger to John.

Originated from God very clear. Proves that Jesus WAS God it does not.
