That designation was declared by Christ himself during his life and affirmed by the writings of his disciples. Arguments over interpretation on the Trinity, specifically unity of will, unity of being, and eternal generation were decided at Nicea.

quote:I’m being pedantic, but technically there is no pre-incarnate Christ since that refers to his title as the Son of Man.
To add to that, and I don't have time to go look them up now, but there are several instances where the pre-incarnate Christ shows up or speaks in the Old Testament.
But yes, God does appear, sometimes as a man, in the Old Testament. That doesn’t mean that it was the Son who showed up or that God was then a man. God also appeared as a burning bush, but that doesn’t mean that God was a burning bush. In the same way, God was not a man until the Word became flesh at Jesus’s birth.

quote:Unfortunately this isn’t the Christian conception of the Trinity. The Old Testament has many references that imply the existence of one God existing in three persons.
No. The Christian god adds Jesus to the the 3-in-1 oil god formulation. The god of the Jews somehow left him out of their god formula. The holy spirit component is floating between the two.
quote:The son of God did not “become” God after the crucifixion. The son of God is eternally God and became man.
So no, the definition of god in your semantics is vastly different when you toss in the Christian flavor after Jesus was murdered and the “son of god” also became god with the other two.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” The word “Word” here is Logos, which also means reason and law, which is more evidence that reason and law existed in the world prior to Mosaic law since man is made in God’s image.
quote:This verse is very frequently misinterpreted. Eye for eye was written to instruct proportionality and prevent excessive punishment. Another example of you not understanding what you’re arguing.
An illustration is an eye for an eye is vastly different from turning the other cheek.

Not only is this wrong, it’s also not responsive to my post, so I’m not sure why you’ve written it.

quote:I don’t think many people would dispute that mankind had ideas of morality prior to Moses receiving the 10 commandments. Paul writes as much in Romans chapter 2. You can amuse yourself by checking it out.
Such common sense would have existed way before Moses downloaded this particular version to his tablets from the cloud.

Agreed that the Bible is not meant to be a guidebook on building society.
quote:Mostly semantics here. If something can only be “Christian” if it follows sequentially after the birth of Christ, then sure, but the Christian God is the same God of the Jews in the Old Testament. In that sense, moral commandments given to the Israelites are the same commandments given to Christians.
Nothing "Christian" existed prior to Jesus's life.

quote:Curious what the point of the last sentence is—are you implying that the Christian commandments against adultery did not exist prior to Jesus’s life?
The Code of Hammurabi had regulation on adultery. Approx 2k years before Christianity

quote:Isaiah 45:5
Imagine your god recognizing their are other gods and getting hurt in the feels if you ignored him. That’s a petty fricking god.
"I am the Lord, and there is no other, besides me there is no God."
Isaiah 44:6
"Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.'"
1 Timothy 2:5
"For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
1 Corinthians 8:4
"Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that 'an idol has no real existence,' and that 'there is no God but one.'"
Hebrews 12:28–29
"Let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire."

You’re equivocating of the meaning of gods here. Scripture is clear that there is only one God. Having “other gods” is another way of saying worshiping anything other than the one true God—including made up gods or other spirits pretending to be gods.

If Aliens can exist within the God-Bible limitations, anything else is possible. More deities/cosmic beings, alternative dimensions, etc.
