What I mean is that you have stated that you believe Jesus is God by agreeing to the TOS. You couldn't have the yes marked by your name as being a Christian if you had not.

teddy trueblood is trying to argue that the Bible has been mistranslated into a "trinitarian Bible" when in fact in its original languages it was Trinitarian. All one has to do is read what the Apostles' students had to say about Jesus being God-always to see that the original texts were in fact Trinitarian. Take what they said about John 1 and compare it to what TT says about it, for example:
Trinitarian comments made by the ECF’s using John 1:
prosper in all things whatsoever ye do_ in flesh and spirit, by faith and by
love,
in the Son and Father and in the Spirit, in
the beginning and in the end

Very properly, then, did he say, "In the beginning was the Word," for He was in the Son; "and the Word was with God," for He was the beginning; "and the Word was God," of course, for
that which is begotten of God is God.
John really does say is this: "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."
Irenaeus of Lyons, Book I, Chapter VIII.-How the Valentinians Pervert the Scriptures to Support Their Own Pious Opinions.
The disciple of the Lord therefore desiring to put an end to all such doctrines, and to establish the rule of truth in the Church, that there is one Almighty God, who made all things by His Word, both visible and invisible; showing at the same time, that by the Word, through whom God made the creation, He also bestowed salvation on the men included in the creation; thus commenced His teaching in the Gospel: "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 nothing made. What was made was life in Him, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not." "All things," he says, "were made by Him; "therefore in "all things" this creation of ours is [included]
…
Others consider Him to have been manifested as a transfigured man; but they maintain Him to have been neither born nor to have become incarnate; whilst others [hold] that He did not assume a human form at all, but that, as a dove, He did descend upon that Jesus who was born from Mary. Therefore the Lord's disciple, pointing them all out as false witnesses, says, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." …
For that
according to John relates His original, effectual, and glorious generation from the Father, thus declaring, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Also, "all things were made by Him, and without Him was nothing made." For this reason, too, is that Gospel full of all confidence, for such is His person.
Irenaeus of Lyons, Book III, Chapter XI-Proofs in Continuation, Extracted from St. John's Gospel. The Gospels are Four in Number, Neither More Nor Less
John said: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." And in continuation he says, "And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten by the Father, full of grace and truth."
He thus plainly points out to those willing to hear, that is, to those having ears, that there is one God, the Father over all, and one Word of God, who is through all, by whom all things have been made; and that this world belongs to Him, and was made by Him, according to the Father's will, and not by angels; nor by apostasy, defect, and ignorance; nor by any power of Prunicus, whom certain of them also call "the Mother; "nor by any other maker of the world ignorant of the Father.
Irenaeus of Lyons, Book V, Chapter XVIII.-God the Father and His Word Have Formed All Created Things (Which They Use) by Their Own Power and Wisdom, Not Out of Defect or Ignorance. The Son of God, Who Received All Power from the Father, Would Otherwise Never Have Taken Flesh Upon Him.
For before anything came into being He had Him as a counsellor, being His own mind and thought. But when God wished to make all that He determined on, He begot this Word, uttered, the first-born of all creation, not Himself being emptied of the Word [Reason], but having begotten Reason, and always conversing with His Reason. And hence the holy writings teach us, and all the spirit-bearing [inspired] men, one of whom, John, says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God," showing that at first God was alone, and the Word in Him. Then he says, "The Word was God; all things came into existence through Him; and apart from Him not one thing came into existence."
The Word, then, being God…
THEOPHILUS TO AUTOLYCUS, BOOK II, CHAP. XXII.--
WHY GOD IS SAID TO HAVE WALKED.
You have, then,
God's promise; you have His love: become partaker of
His grace. And do not suppose the song of salvation to be new, as a vessel or a house is new. For "before the morning star it was;"
'and "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Error seems old, but truth seems a new thing. … But before the foundation of the world were we, who, because destined to be in Him, pre-existed in the eye of God before,--
we the rational creatures of the Word of God, on whose account we date from the beginning;
for "in the beginning was the Word." Well, inasmuch as
the Word was from the first, He was and is the divine source of all things; but inasmuch as He has now assumed the name Christ, consecrated of old, and worthy of power, he has been called by me the New Song. This Word, then, the Christ, the cause of both our being at first (
for He was in God) and of our well-being, this very Word has now appeared as man,
He alone being both, both God and man--the Author of all blessings to us; by whom we, being taught to live well, are sent on our way to life eternal. For, according to that inspired apostle of the Lord, "the grace of God which bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us, that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for the blessed hope, and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ."

FOR THE ADORATION OF THE DIVINE WORD AND GOD THE FATHER.
But nothing exists, the cause of whose existence is not supplied by God. Nothing, then, is hated by God, nor yet by the Word.
For both are one--that is, God. For He has said, "In the beginning the Word was in God, and the Word was God." If then He hates none of the things which He has made, it follows that He loves them. Much more than the rest, and with reason, will He love man, the noblest of all objects created by Him, and a God-loving being. Therefore God is loving; consequently the Word is loving.
