1:3-4, '"According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." Ephesians 1:4-5 declares, "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will" (Philippians 3:20-21).
The law does not allow rrungled seed (Leviticus 19:19). Therefore, a Christ with two different natures cannot be the true Son of God Qohn 1:1-14). This needs no other commentary than what was stated by the writer of the Gospel John who said, "... in the beginning was the Word...And the Word became flesh." This is why He is called the only begotten Son of God with one nature and the same substance with God the Father incarnate (Isaiah
7:13-14; Jeremiah 23:5-10; Isaiah 9:6; I John 1:1-3).
Trinitarians honestly believe that there is only one true God. But they are ma ing three persons co-equal, co-eternal, in the name God the father, God
e son, God the Holy Spirit. If God the son prepared flesh in the womb of irgin Mary to be born of her incarnated to die on the cross, why do the ^np^res attest that God the Father raised His Son (which Trinitarians call
2-1^? Son) (Acts 2:24,32; 10:40; 13:30; Romans 8:11; 10:9; Colossians
