I'll tell you what. You go back and answer the questions asked of you and I will be glad to answer your questions. Fair enough?
I have answered all the questions asked of me already. Unless I overlooked any. If you find any I overlooked then point it out to
me then I will answer them. I will answer them whether you answer what I asked you concerning what you believe or not.

Before you make statements like this you cannot prove, it would be easier for you to just cut and paste anything I have said that you do not believe. And we can discuss it.

Jesus is God because His Body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.

That statement implies that you believe the only reason Jesus Christ is to be considered God is because the Holy Ghost inhabited His body. We've asked you to respond and you've ducked and fired questions back at us.

Provide scriptural evidence as to why you believe this? Because from your written word it's only logical we assume you deny the Trinity. Your own words have stated, whether you intended it or not, that there is a hierarchy to the Godhead, instead of the co-equal status of the Triune God.

I can provide scriptural evidence of why Jesus is God and it has nothing to do with the interaction of the Holy Ghost and the physical body of Christ.

John 1:1-3 said:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Here we see Jesus, referred to as "The Word" being in the beginning with God, and in fact being God. He is noted as the Creator of all things. This is direct scriptural evidence of The Father existing simultaneously with the Son, yet both being the same being.

John 14:5-11 said:
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Here we have Jesus Christ stating to the apostles the oneness between Himself and the Father.

Scripture reveals that God the Father is God, and God the Son, whom we know as Jesus Christ, is as much God as God the Father. The Holy Ghost is as much God as either the Father or the Son. It is one God.

You've yet to answer if you hold to Trinitarian theology, and I still say your own words makes it sounds as though you do not.

I got a question for ya, Old GT. Are you a Baptist? (from your posts it doesn't sound like it, and your profile doesn't say). If not, you're not even supposed to be posting here.

I asked you about your views of the Trinity. You appear to be a heretic concerning that area of doctrine.

Without the Holy Ghost Jesus would not be God. True or false?
