With Trinitarians words never mean what they say.
When church Fathers repeatedly quoted scripture saying God created Wisdom/Jesus they didn’t really mean that God created Wisdom/Jesus.
When Origen said Jesus is a second god subordinate to God he didn’t really mean he is a second god subordinate to God.
When Tertullian said there was a time when the Son was not, he didn’t really mean there was a time when the Son didn’t exist.
When Justin Martyr said Jesus was is angel he didn’t really mean he is an angel.
When the Shepherd of Hermas identified Jesus with the archangel Michael it didn’t really mean that Jesus is Michael.
When Paul said Jesus is the firstborn of all creation he didn’t mean that either.
And when Jesus himself said the Father is greater than I what he really meant to say was that: “one of my dual natures is consubstantial with the Father whereas my other human nature is less than the Father and these two natures subsist yet do not commingle in the one person you see before you.”
Thanks goodness for Trinitarians, otherwise we could be misled into thinking all these simply meant what they said.
