Jesus is God - Acts 20:28

28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.
So we are to pay careful attention and care for the church of God, which He obtained with his own blood.

Isn't it clear that God obtained the church with his own blood?
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

I'll remind you one again of the following rule:

8. Extensive quotes from another source (particularly other websites) should state the source to avoid plagiarism.

You need to cite the source of the text you quoted. It is clearly not from your hand.

I would suggest that the Baptist pastor Clarence Larkin is one of the very best authors regarding biblical doctrine anyone could read outside the Bible itself.

If you are suggesting that he is the source of the text you provided without citation, then you need to state that clearly and give him credit for the words you quoted from him. This should be a standard practice whenever you quote from another to avoid violating rule number 8. For some reason you seem hesitant to abide by this rule. That needs to change.

What I wrote unless otherwise mentioned in the text (those who were not even alive when Larkin was writing) is of my own wording.

Then how do you explain the textual match with the article found here: https://bible.org/seriespage/man-trinit ... -soul-body?

Christian doctrine, same topic... The Jehovah Witnesses do it all the time, and I never see a request made for which edition of The Watch Tower or AWAKE their dissertation originates from... However, I do like this version and so for your sake: https://bible.org/seriespage/man-trinit ... -soul-body

Are you suggesting the paragraphs long exact match is a coincidence?

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm saying that it's a common doctrinal consideration among Dispensationalists, and any parts I used with regard to the various individuals and their considerations were revealed by their names that were included. Other than that, paraphrasing is not the same as copying.

The "Jehovah Witnesses" simply have no valid explanation ...
Are you suggesting that there is no scriptural support for Jesus being the SON of God inferior to the Father in rank, power and position?

....Obviously, if GOD is triune in HIS nature, then our nature would also be triune, and that would make us in the image of GOD, OR since CHRIST has a body and HE created us, that would reveal HIM to be GOD.

I'll give my car, the keys and the garage its parked in to anyone that can make sense of that sentence.

Seriously it looks like there's some kind of logic being applied but for the life of me I cannot identify what it is.

You are now describing multiple paragraph word for word exact match as paraphrasing? You expect this to be believed?
