And that's precisely the point, isn't it.
If one actually HONESTLY doesn't buy into religious nonsense, then, being honest, one can't say it.
So according to you and your system, ... then, one is going to hell for being honest.
It's just the biggest pile of horse shit imaginable.
AND according to your system, it's YOUR GOD'S fault ...
"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, it is not from works, so that no-one may boast.
Ephesians 2:8
That's predestination. The Lord already knows everything and knows who will be saved and who won't.

There were numerous verses referenced in the presentation. I have an Excel file with all the verses but I cannot attach it here. Ultimately, Jesus is the Son of God in the Triune godhead. Even in the beginning of the Bible the relationship of God within himself is shown when the Scriptures state, let us create man in our image, after our likeness. There are other instances of the Triune godhead in the OT.
Actually those plural references are due to the fact that the Hebrew priests took their myths from Babylonian mythology, in which El Elyon was the chief of the council of gods.
It has NOTHING at all to do with a triune god, (which ANY JEW would tell you IS NOT what any Jew, then or now, bought into).
A "son of god" for Jews did not, EVER mean what Christians turned it into.

"The Pious as Sons of God.
The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha contain a few passages in which the title "son of God" is given to the Messiah (see Enoch, cv. 2; IV Esdras vii. 28-29; xiii. 32, 37, 52; xiv. 9); but the title belongs also to any one whose piety has placed him in a filial relation to God (see Wisdom ii. 13, 16, 18; v. 5, where "the sons of God" are identical with "the saints"; comp. Ecclus. [Sirach] iv. 10). It is through such personal relations that the individual becomes conscious of God's fatherhood, and gradually in Hellenistic and rabbinical literature "sonship to God" was ascribed first to every Israelite and then to every member of the human race (Abot iii. 15, v. 20; Ber. v. 1; see Abba). The God-childship of man has been especially accentuated in modern Jewish theology, in sharp contradistinction to the Christian God-sonship of Jesus. The application of the term "son of God" to the Messiah rests chiefly on Ps. ii. 7, and the other Messianic passages quoted above."
Son of man is also used to reference the Messiah; specifically in the Book of Daniel. The diety of Jesus is clear in the OT and NT. I have a bible study chart showing all the verses related to Jesus as the Son of God. The Jews just misunderstand their own Scriptures. Look at Isaiah 53. That is definitely talking about the Lord Jesus.
