    Oh my! I am afraid that is a really shallow take. You need to understand, Jesus taught a different way than the current religion of his day. The Jewish religion as in the Torah which is the source of the Old testament and the current religion at the time of Jesus. What ever lessons you find distastefully in the old Jewish religion, you likely will find Jesus or his disciples teaching a different message on the same subject. It seems to me that Jesus pretty much reformed all the old harsh Jewish ways and that is the basis of Christianity. Mohammad however, took the old Jewish ways and doubled down, adding even more harshness and exclusiveness to Islam. So I see a vast difference between Christianity and Islam.

    Jesus said that if you look at another woman in lust you are to put your own eye out... I love me some Jesus bro but he is not god. God is his father. And his father is very jealous.

    Well, considering He said He was God (John 10:30), you're basically saying Jesus was a liar.

    Say what you want but then there's this:

    John 5:17 KJV

    But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

    Trinitarians want to act like all 3 are the same but they are not.

    Then there's the "context" argument. Saying "I and the father are one" can mean the same thing as "My wife and I are one".

    Nobody here is disputing a distinction between the Son and the Father, but that doesn't mean that Jesus isn't God, or that He didn't claim to be.

    http://www.gotquestions.org/is-Jesus-God.html

    Also

    There's plenty more too. He claimed divinity, His followers identified Him as God and He did not refute it, and the Pauline epistles (eg, Phil 2:6) along with other portions of the New Testament support the claim as well.

    In Trinitarianism, the one true God is the Triune God, a three person being. Now try to be honest with yourself and ask yourself what Paul the Apostle of Jesus really and truly intended to tell us when he wrote this:

    Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one. For even if there are gods, whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. (1 Corinthians 8:4-6).

    Notice that Paul does not identify the one God as a Triune Being. He did not say, "for us there is one God: the Triune God." He identifies our one God as the Father. While Trinitarians insist that the one God is not one person, Paul does identify the one God as one person: the Father. Nor does Paul identify our one Lord as a Triune Being. Rather he identifies our one Lord as Jesus Christ.

    An illusionist does his deceptions by keeping you focused on one thing so that you don't notice another. In Trinitarianism, what they like to do is keep all the attention on whether or not Jesus and the Holy Spirit are "God." In doing this, they keep your attention off the real question.

    The Only True God

    At John 17:3, Jesus makes a very important statement:

    This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

    Father.... You, the only true God.... "

    When this verse is pointed out, most Trinitarians respond in this manner:

    The passage does not say "only the Father is the true God." It rather says that the Father is the only true God. The Father is the only true God, the Son is the only true God, and the Holy Spirit is the only true God.

    Now think about that carefully for a minute. In Trinitarianism, the one true God is the Triune God. Now let us try out their claim:

    The Father is the Triune God, the Son is the Triune God, and the Holy Spirit is the Triune God.

    It didn't work. In Trinitarian doctrine, the Father is not the Son or the Holy Spirit or vice versa and the Holy Spirit is not the Father or the Son or vice versa. And neither are any of them the Triune God for that would be saying one person is three persons. So why didn't it work? You will soon see.

    Notice the statement:

    Jesus is the one true God (True in Trinitarianism).

    The one true God is the Triune God (True in Trinitarianism).

    Jesus is that one true God (False in Trinitarianism).

    What just happened there? Why didn't that work? Later in this article, you will see quite clearly what happened. But let us first observe this:

    Jesus is the one true God (True in Trinitarianism).

    The one true God is the Triune God (True in Trinitarianism).

    Jesus is not that one true God (True in Trinitarianism).

    Is.......is not......is........is not.... the foundation of illusionists. We will also decisively prove that the following is necessarily true in Trinitarian doctrine:

    Jesus is the one true God (True in Trinitarianism).

    The one true God is the Triune God (True in Trinitarianism).

    Jesus is not that one true God (True in Trinitarianism).

    Jesus is another true God (True in Trinitarianism).
