"i have never denied jesus as lord or that he is my god. i said he was not the god that is the father. i said what any three year old can understand - jesus is not his own father."
I agree that Jesus is not the God that is the Father. I believe in the Trinity though. The beginning refers to the beginning of the creation of the world and not from eternity past. That does not have a beginning. Jesus existed before the beginning, but was the beginning of creation because He created it. The same kind of thinking goes for the end only vice versa. I really don't have time to continue a discussion on it, but others may. Your statement makes you sound like you now believe in the deity of Christ, but not the trinity. Well that is a step in the right direction.
