Hi Reniaa, how are you? Thank you for your post! Below I will comment some on the verses you posted:
1 Corinthians 11:3
Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
I agree wholeheartedly with that Verse, as do all Trinitarians (that I have known). But, think about this: That verse compares the relationship of God and Jesus to that of a husband and wife. The husband is the "head" of the wife in the sense that he has a position of authority over her within the marriage, correct? This headship has nothing to do with their status as human beings, does it? It's not teaching that a wife is a lower-class being, less human than her husband, is it?
In the same way, you cannot properly use that verse to teach that Jesus is a lower-class being, who has a lesser nature than His Father. But, that verse DOES show that The Father has a position of authority over The Son. On that point, at least, we can agree.
To be consistent, if you say that 1 Corinthians 11:3 means Jesus has a lesser nature than God, then that verse is also teaching that a wife has a lesser nature than her husband (she would then be lower than human).
1 Corinthians 8:6
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
If you please read the context of this verse, you will see that Paul is saying that there are many "so-called gods and lords" that people worship, but for true Christians there is only One God and One Lord. Paul calls The Father "God" and The Son "Lord."
Paul separates Jesus from the "so-called god" category, therefore, Jesus must be a True God. (See John 1:1, Isaiah 9:6, John 20:28)
If Jesus is a True God, but He is a different God from Jehovah, then how many True Gods do you have? That would mean you serve TWO TRUE GODS.
But, the Bible, all the way through, teaches ONLY ONE TRUE GOD (See Isaiah chapters 40-50, for example).
But, most importantly, if 1 Corinthians 8:6 is saying that ONLY The Father is God for Christians, and NOT Jesus, then, by the same reasoning, it is equally teaching that ONLY Jesus is Lord for Christians, and NOT The Father. But that cannot be true, because the New Testament teaches that The Father is Lord too.
If 1st Corinthians 8:6 is NOT saying that The Father cannot be Lord, then it is also NOT teaching that Jesus cannot be God.
Romans 8:17
Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
This is speaking about positions or authority or rank, and is not discussing nature or essence.
Matthew 24:36
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
True, as a Human, there were some things Jesus did not know on earth. But, the Bible also teaches that the Resurrected Jesus knows all things, and can read hearts and minds, and that Jesus hears and answers all of His people's prayers, things ONLY Jehovah can do.
John 17:3 (New International Version)
3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
This verse does not prove that Jesus is not God. Jude 1:4 says Jesus is our ONLY LORD -- does that mean The Father is not our Lord also?
1 Corinthians 15:24
Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
The Son is in subjection to The Father. Always has been, and always will be. On this point, we actually agree.
