    "The attributes of God may be classified under two main categories:"
    1. His infinite powers.
    2. His personality attributes, like holiness and love.
    Right here is where the description of the Almighty God & Father pretty much stops, because from here on the discussion is about his Son. God is the Holy Spirit as He is A Spirit, hence the points 1&2 are from Him.

    From here it must follow:

    1) if Jesus is a god then he has infinite powers and therefore cannot be a man.

    2) If Jesus is a man then he must have only finite powers and therefore cannot be a god.

    Jesus himself says in John quite a few times, I can do nothing of myself, it is the Father that dwell in me (Spirit) that does the works (words to the effect of).
    Acts 2:22 makes it very clear, the miracles that Jesus did was in fact God doing them through Jesus.

    The Greek tells us in John 1:18, Jesus now with the Father exalted is referred to as only begotten God = Became, but he is not the Almighty God and Father.
    However, there is still only ONE Holy Spirit, which essentially is what Jesus gets use of, to do the Fathers will.

    So if you request something from Jesus, you better get inventive by coming up with ideas as to how it could fit within God's will. haha.
    Careful of what you ask for and how, trust me Big time on this one, make sure you have some closed doors on it.
    Ex- A farmer might ask for rain and next week he is paddling around the paddock in 6ft of water in his canoe haha.
    All things work together for good for those that believe, however what you might think is good is not necessary God's idea.
