JD,
I undertand how those passages can be interpreted that way, fact is, from the very beginning ( after Jesus's death and ressurection) there was "debate" in regards to his nature, we know this from the different writings and such.
Paul made warning s about it, hebrews's first chapter makes it clear that there were beliefs that Jesus as just an angel and the writer of Hebrews goes on to show how that was NOT the case, but the fact that a letter had to be written counter that argument goes to show that the debate about the nature of Jesus was already going on at the time.
To me Jesus was fully man and is fully God for all intents and purpsoes, he is NOT YHWH nor does the Trinity say this, his is "God the Son".
My point was that, NOWHERE is it plainly stated that there is a "trinity' or that Jesus is God ( John 1:1 not withstanding), we can interpret passages to mean that, and we may be correct, but nowhere is it plainly stated.
