You made a major mess. It was awful.
I'm afraid you will never be able to rationally demonstrate that.
But keep telling yourself it is so..... maybe that will make it so.... right?

I agree, because I am dealing with an irrational person.I'm afraid you will never be able to rationally demonstrate that.
Barnes is not an authority from God...God authorized Jesus and Jesus authorized the apostles.You didn't address what I quoted from Barnes.
So lets break it down..."The true God" includes the Lord Jesus in 1 John 5:20.
You are claiming that the scripture is purpously open to more than one interpretation; not having one obvious meaning....if that is the case then God is the author of confusion...Since John did not clearly distinguish between the Father and the Son in his use of pronouns and titles throughout his epistles (Paul, Peter, and Luke are also ambiguous as well), but was purposely ambiguous.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.JesusDoes John refer to the Father or to the Son in the following passages? Even Unitarians, as well as Greek lexicons and others disagree with at least most of them. What applies to one so often includes the other in the use of singular pronouns and singular titles. This is powerful proof the Lord Jesus is God.
1 John 2:3 (Him; His)
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Jesus1 John 2:4 (Him; His)
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. Jesus1 John 2:5 (His word)
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Jesus1 John 2:6 (Him; He)
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. Jesus1 John 2:8 (Him)
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. Jesus1 John 2:12 (His)
13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. Jesus1 John 2:13 (Him)

Your foolishness is amazing...If jesus was god this would have been a good opportunity fot John to say so...1 Ln 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.1 John 4:21 (Him)

You are encouraging a person to rape the scripture...15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. The scripture does not tell us to confess that Jesus is God...Well put.

Since that one sentence out of what I wrote seems to be all that concerns you, I will address that. Christians on forums, in their attempts at being great defenders of their Trinitarian faith, have a tendency to try to overwhelm as if their many verses and words will influence reality and make their God proud. It’s all in their mind.
1John 5:20 is straight forward in its context that includes 1John 5:18-21. Many words are not needed. Jesus makes a clear statement in John 17:3. John is not about to contradict that clear statement by saying “Oh yeah, Jesus forgot to tell you, he too is the only true God”. And he does not. As with John 17:1-5, the context of 1John 5:18-21 centers on the Father, the only true God. No red herrings need apply.
Jesus Christ is not just a created being. He is not only the son of man, but he is also the only begotten Son of God. Who became a created being for our benefit. A created being clearly associated with the Creator. I realize that Son of God is defined as God the Son in the Trinitarian dictionary. A definition and a dictionary that’s only of use to a Trinitarian. Another useless red herring.
And for your information (as if you care, which your words make me doubt) I am not a Unitarian. They believe that Jesus Christ is just a man. Like the Trinitarians emphasize Jesus as Son of God out of proportion in relation to reality resulting in Trinitarianism, so also Unitarians emphasize Jesus as the son of man out of proportion in relation to reality resulting in a human only Christ (in the JW’s an angelic Christ). The Biblical view does not emphasize with a one sided view in such a way. The Bible apart from the accoutrements of interpretation presents a balanced view. As God intended. There are no red herrings in the Bible.
even the demons know that Jesus is the Holy One...Unitarian confusion concerning 1 John 2:20.
The Jehovah's Witnesses (and keiw is a Jehovah's Witness) affirm "the Holy One" is in reference to Jehovah.

There's more of a mess
You asserted "Jesus".
But your fellow Unitarian heretic believes otherwise.

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: (KJV) Acts 2:22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by...forums.carm.org

Mark 1:24
Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
I don't have a label as you do, I am not a unitarian or any denomination...I am showing you facts supported by the scripture so your argument iswith the scripture notme...the scriture saus jesus is the Holy one...Unitarian confusion concerning 1 John 2:20.

For the following you wrote "all Jesus".
1 John 3:19 (Him)
1 John 3:24 (His; Him; He X3)
1 John 4:4 (He)
1 John 4:13 (Him; He X2; His)
1 John 4:17 (He)
1 John 4:19 (He)
Lots of confusion with the above.
- Is the Father called "my God" in John 20:28?
Put to death in the flesh, but raised alive in the spirit. Dont forget he appeared behind a locked door-mortal flesh cannot do that. My Bible says BY The Spirit.forums.carm.org
To be the Son of God in reference to Jesus is to be God.15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
I just asked him why are we not asked to confess that Jesus is God... I am waiting for his answer...
Yes, you are.I am not a unitarian
Acts 2:27
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
God did not allow His Holy One to see corruption... The scriptures disagree with you...
Nope, it is referring to Jesus ...“Righteous are You, who are and who were",...because they refer to his death...God did not die...So is God.
Revelation 16:5
And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “Righteous are You, who are and who were, O Holy One, because You judged these things. (NASB)
that does not make me a unitarian... if it does by the same standard it makes you a silly person. People claim what they are I made no such claim.Yes, you are.
By the way, you didn't give a response to these:
1 John 4:21 (Him)
1 John 5:14 (Him; His; He)
1 John 5:15 (He; Him)
1 John 5:20 (Him X2; He; true God)
3 John 1:7 (Name)
Nope, it is referring to Jesus ...“Righteous are You, who are and who were",...because they refer to his death...God did not die...
People make claims who they are but that doesn't necessitate they are all accurate.People claim what they are I made no such claim.
That does not affect my theology as much as it affects yours...you have three equal Gods...Isaiah 40:25
To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. (KJV)
on whose authority?BDAG (3rd Edition): of God 1 John 2:20 (hagios, page 11).
You have a greater problem trying to explain to the Holy One how he has two others equal to him...Unitarian heretics make a massive mess when trying to differentiate between their creator and their creature-jesus.
I still have one Triune God. You and your fellow Unitarian heretics can't figure out who is your creator and who is your creature-jesus.That does not affect my theology as much as it affects yours...you have three equal Gods...
a greater problem
