Subtracting from the Person of Christ
“In the beginning was the Word”
And the Word was with God.”
Some were not comfortable with this
And set out to make Jesus a fraud.
“And the Word was God” the Bible said
But this assertion did not suffice,
The indefinite article was introduced
To subtract from the person of Christ.
A lower case “g” was used instead
The Word was relegated to “a god”,
If Jesus were seen otherwise
Then he surely would be a fraud.
“All things were made by him”
Again that’s what the Bible states
But this would make him the Creator
Which his detractors could not take.
So “all other things” was introduced
To subtract from the person of Christ,
This would make him a created being
And this would adequately suffice.
Neither shall ye diminish from the word
We read in Deuteronomy 4 verse 2,
Subtracting from the person of Christ
Is another operation that cults do.
