I John 5:20 "-- Jesus is the true God."
Making a distinction between "Lord" and "God" is to misunderstand exactly what Peter was saying when he pronounced Jesus as Lord and Messiah (Acts 2:36).
Peter is saying that Christ is both God and Messiah !!!!!!!

Tell me in the following exactly where I am speaking for you.Look at the following: I say "I hope you are not coming to a decision that Jesus ... was not God in the flesh" and you say " "That seems to be the direction .."I will not slow down when referencing what you write.cd: I am stating that Christ is the Lord not God John-and as such is part of the GodHead-Judy is right on the Trinity issue-it leads one to mistake who Christ is. But you took that a step farther and seem to think I am anti-Christ as you think Judy is. Wrong on both counts.jd----- Original Message -----Sent: 1/31/2006 12:37:43 AMSubject: Re: [TruthTalk] Was Jesus of God's Nature?Dean, I hope that you are coming to a decision that Jesus in the flesh was not God in the flesh. This is a very serious matter.jdcd; That seems to be the direction but I want the deeper level of understanding John-revolving around the:" Why call me good only God is good." statement of Chris..
