Why Jesus is the Messiah and Son of God, not God Himself
Scripture consistently distinguishes between God the Father and Jesus the Son. Jesus himself said, "My Father is greater than I" (John 14:28, KJV). If Jesus were God in the same sense as the Father, this statement makes little sense.
Jesus prayed to God as a separate being: "Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me" (Luke 22:42). He also cried out on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46). A being cannot forsake itself.
Paul calls Jesus "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature" (Colossians 1:15), language of origin and derivation, not of being identical with the Father.
Jesus explicitly denied claiming to be God when confronted: "Sayest thou unto him, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?" (John 10:36). He corrects the accusation rather than affirming it.
At his baptism, the Father speaks from heaven about the Son as a distinct person: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17). Two distinct voices, two distinct persons in the same scene.
Paul writes, "There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). A mediator stands between two parties, implying Jesus is not identical to the God he mediates for.
Jesus said he did not know the day of his return, "but my Father only" (Matthew 24:36), a limitation in knowledge that Trinitarian theology has long wrestled to explain if Jesus is fully God in the same sense as the Father.
After the resurrection, Jesus told Mary Magdalene, "I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God" (John 20:17), placing himself alongside believers in relation to God the Father, not above them as God.
This view holds Jesus is fully the Messiah (Christ), the promised deliverer, and truly the unique Son of God, sent, exalted, and given all authority (Matthew 28:18), but distinct from, and subordinate to, God the Father who sent him.
