We've had others that use to come on the site with various names and toss those two scriptures out " Acts 8:37 and Acts 9:20" along with various other verses as battle invitations for a battling debate on the deity of Christ which brings contention in the body of Christ.
Here's what's important.
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Sorry, I did not know I did that, it was never my intention to bring contention in the body of Chirst. Discussion should never be continuous, it should inspire study. If we are not open to study another understanding with open ears to the Holy Spirit we may never be shown the truth.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 14:8-9
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
These and other verses make it crystal clear that there is one God. And that one God is the Father', the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, IS eternal God himself. The Father IS eternal God himself. The Holy Ghost IS eternal God himself.
There is only ONE God.
Our finite minds cannot grasp the full nature of God Himself. We read what God chooses to reveal about himself in the Bible. And we must accept that as it stands.
If the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, were not eternal God himself, he could not be our savior. He could not have born every dirty rotten sin that has or will be committed by everyone whom he came to save. Nor could he have fully paid the full penalty required by the law of God, for those sins, which is eternal death, and then have risen again.
So again, when we go down a path of trying to work all this all out in our finite minds, we get into a Gordian knot that we cannot untangle.
We are the creature, and God is the creator. And we must accept what the Bible declares about the nature of God, and leave it there.
The simplicity that is in Jesus, 2 Corinthians 11:3.
John also confirmed this, he said there were many things Jesus said and did that were not written down, but John wrote this, John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God .
There's no confusion in this statement , no hidden meaning , nothing should be added or taken away from this simple yet most powerful confession .
Jesus Christ is the Son of God .
It is the Truth .
Jesus is titled the "Son of God!

I wasn't addressing that toward you.
I said we've had others that use to come on the site "WITH VARIOUS NAMES" and toss those two scriptures out " Acts 8:37 and Acts 9:20" ect.
Some of us believe these various names is one person.
I believe sometimes these verses is used as clickbait to debate a topic.
However Ronald it seems you have went for it a few times.
Personally I pay attention to the delivery of the post and if it just comes out of nowhere with intensity I leave it alone even if I agree with them.
This person seems to be rolling their sleeves up.
I don't hold the view that we have to be open to everything however we should be willing to agree to disagree and move on.
I'm open to listen when one has brought something new to a past debate!
I'm not open to debate the same topic with the same verses over and over again.
I was just pointing out somethings that seems to be a bit repetitive.
Blessings
