Paul refered to Jesus as Christ in scripture, but yet you make it sound like I shouldn't. I know people who have been christians for several years who are now starting to ask questions about the oneness of God and because of unsatisfacotory explanations they are doubting.
Jesus prayed to God, The Holy Ghost coming down descending like a dove, voice from heaven saying my son in whom I am well pleased, and Jesus praying in the garden of gethesmene to God. Some will say that is the flesh and spirit communing with one another, but someone just said that God dies when the flesh died. By that definition then why did He need to pray.
Also the scripture teaches that God doesn't tempt and neither is He tempted, but the scripture also teaches that Jesus was tempted like all other men. I believe there is a distinction between the flesh and the spirit and they are not the same, but they are one. We will never see God only Jesus Christ the express image of God. The name Jesus belongs to God and when I say Jesus is God that is why. I don't believe the flesh is God, but it is one with God.
Jesus said I and my father are one. The Father is revealed in Christ.
