>>> According to the scripture: Jesus was a man approved by God, by miracles, wonders and signs which God did among you through him. (Acts 2:22)

If this man (Jesus), were not from God, he could do nothing (John 9:3)
It didn't say: If this man were not God, he could do nothing.

Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Isa 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isa 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.


John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
John 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
John 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Look at the verses again.
It doesn't say Jesus the God, but it say Jesus Christ, Christ is not his last name but only a title.
So, what John is saying: How do we know the spirit or the prophet comes from God?
the answer is: If the spirit or the prophet confess Jesus is the Christ who was sent by God.
It's a test to know false prophets.

Pff, extrapolation.
Even a little child will accept the fact of Jesus' Divinity with only the Bible, no other influence.

It's the older ones, and the ones whose beliefs are influenced by extra- or even anti- Biblical sources, who are more resistant to truth, who will actively attempt to dodge Jesus' Divinity.


Unitarianism is an artificial belief that aims to drag God to man's level, since man is a one person being.



Us mono-person beings have a fallen nature, inherited from Adam, that loves sinning against the Three Person God.
