I am, most properly labeled as an autotheist. Basically, if you truly believe something to be truth, that belief becomes truth. The Bible states 'God created man in his image.' God creates reality, man is an image of God, therefore Man creates reality. I would suggest you look within, rather than some dusty old tome.

I am not being gender specific when using the term man. Abbreviated form of Human.
Without division, this universe no longer exists. God divided itself, because it got lonely, do you really want to return to that?

You forget, everything is of God.
Who created the Snake?
Even lies serve God's will.
Job 1:21
"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."
John 1
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.'"

Recap. Adam was a spotless lamb. His blood was shed by Yahweh to divide God's original image. Yahweh made the Snake. The Snake was made to accuse man of sin, which it did. Were we ever the one that sinned? No, Yahweh was. Yahweh then proclaimed himself God in the OT and shed blood continually. Elohim said that by human hands the one shedding blood would have his blood shed by humans. Was it? Yes, but not for the reason the false witnesses stated. He (yahweh) paid the cost of his own sin. Where does this leave Adam as the true Son of God? Vindicated. While it is true man has sinned, what are the true details? We can't know if we don't figure it out. It's in our face and there to read.

Why are you making the lord's way zig zag in and out of oncoming traffic and through hundreds of different passages and verses?
Truth is like a straight highway, what you're trying to push here is a spaghetti junction.
So let me get this straight, you’re now saying Yahweh, was the one who sinned, by creating the snake, which in turn tempted Adam. And then Yahweh (at Elohims request) decided to play ball, by coming back down here, to pay for the cost, of his own sin against mankind…as Jesus, on the Cross…???
This doesn’t make any sense; because, why all the loving message and teachings en-route, if he just came to die on the cross, to pay for his own sin…??? why bring all that extra attention onto himself, through his teachings, if he just came to pay for his own sin…???
Jesus message would have looked totally different, if what you’ve suggest above were true…

This actually brings up another point, where exactly did Yahweh go between the OT and NT? If he "came back", he would have had to have gone somewhere else after dying(?) as Yahweh.
If Jesus was humbled on the cross from his actions as Yahweh then why was he so humble before the cross?
Him spreading love before the cross doesn't make sense as you say, in many ways.
AB has wrote "he "believes" he IS John the Baptist the voice calling in the wilderness" but ......that straight way is twisty as a snake.

Pretty darn good. What is missing from the Bible is one simple little area known as reincarnation. Add that into the equation and you soon figure out that Adam and Jesus are one and the same.
