Re: When You Stand Before Jesus, Will You Say To Him "You Are Not God?"
Post #2If Jesus is God, then seeing him face to face would remove all doubt, and doubters could be forgiven because nowhere is it stated that believing that Jesus is God is a condition for salvation. If Jesus is not God, then he too would realize that, and there would be no need to even bring up the subject.
Is the assumption of the OP that anyone would be punished for not believing Jesus is God in this life? Is that even Biblical? I doubt it. If it is then I challenge anyone to cite a passage where we are warned that not believing Jesus is God is an offence, or that Jesus or the Father Himself condemns anyone for not believing Jesus is God.
The notion that "Jesus is God" is not something that Jesus preached, and certainly not something that Jesus preached as a condition for salvation.
My theological positions:
-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.
I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

The Bible says, “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:3
One might even say that knowing that Jesus, whom He sent forth, isn't God but knowing His Father is the only true God is a means to salvation.
