But "Jesus is not God"? No, I don't think that is a sustainable proposition. I may have floated it, hypothetically, but I don't think it can be sustained as an argument through the text.

Hello, Aron,
I hope you don't mind if I weigh in here. But if Jesus is God, but not God the Father, then doesn't that leave us with two Gods? Don't you find yourself falling into the trap of tritheism (the question of the Holy Ghost notwithstanding)? This would, wouldn't it, introduce the idea of Three Gods if we allow that the Holy Spirit is also God, but not God the Father, or God the Son? Seems like you're between a rock and a hard place on this one. Personally, I'd go with the 'Rock' :-)
Cheers,
May the Holy Spirit continue to enlighten you.
