The pagan king of Babylon was dreaming about the pagan myth of the demigod which is the son of a god with an earthly woman. The name "Jehovah" was only one of the many names of God according to His acts of Creation.
Still confused eh my friend? Theories blind you from the truth.

We disagree friend. Jesus was a man born to Mary.
Christ is a spirit like his creator. Being the express IMAGE of the Father he must be a spirit. He BECAME man when he took the form of man by dwelling in Jesus, which was the body God prepared for him. Chris had glory with God before the creation on the world, not the man Jesus. You fail to see that the spirit Christmas spoke through the body of Jesus.
Only God the Father is non created.
Jesus is Divine in name and is called "GOD" directly: John 1:1-3
A. Passages where Jesus is unquestionably called God
Heb 1:8 Father addresses son as God
Jn 1:1 The word was God
Phil 2:6-8 Jesus existed in the form of God
Jn 20:28 'My Lord and My God
Isa 7:14 "A Child Will Be Born And His Name Is Called": "Emanuel: God with us"
Isa 9:6 "A Child Will Be Born And His Name Is Called": "Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace"
B. Passages that speak of Christ's deity but because of the wording in the Greek, it can be argued that the Father is being addressed as God, not Jesus.
Titus 2:13-14 "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds."
1 Timothy 1:16,17 "And yet for this reason I found mercy, in order that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience, as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."
1 Timothy 6:14-16 "that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about at the proper time-He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords; who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen."
2 Peter 1:1 "Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord"

If our Father is God and our brother is God that makes two who are God.
We have, God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit! And yet, these three are one
according to the Bible! My question would be,
"Can our 'finite' minds" fully comprehend such
a complex Spiritual truth?" I think, perhaps not?
Absurd!
True!
And we are one with them according to the Bible.
True!

Jesus is not called God in John 1, the LOGOS is. The logos is not Jesus, I think that it is Christ, the spiritual express image that God created. You should not assume that Jesus is the logos.

Show me my error GM.
Your not really equipped to discuss what you do not know.
Who in your words is the express IMAGE of God?
I would like your opinion, I also want to know why Christ needed a body prepared for him in Heb 10:5.

Are you in over your head friend?
That's funny, your belief system is a repeat of one of those early traditional beliefs.

Some are, most not. Do not forget that I was very active in church. But I had to follow my heart and leave it all in my past.
Now I feel that God is with me and I am prepared for his son to judge me for who I am. There is no fear in true love, so I am very comfortable waiting for him to come for me.
