 THE FALSE TEACHINGS OF THE ANTICHRISTS
Antichrists, that is, those who opposed Christ, like the Iglesia Ni Cristo 1914 (INC 1914), Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW), and other cults, denies the Divinity, Equality with God, Preexistence, Creation works, and Incarnation of our Lord and God Jesus Christ.
Those antichrists are ignorant that there is one monolithic Biblical passage that testifies to the Divinity, Equality with God, Preexistence, Creation works, and Incarnation of our Lord and God Jesus Christ.
THE TRUE TEACHINGS OF THE GENUINE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
Here is the one monolithic Biblical passage that testifies to the Divinity, Equality with God, Preexistence, Creation works, and Incarnation of our Lord and God Jesus Christ:
Before anything else existed, there was Christ, with God. He has always been alive and is himself God. He created everything there is—nothing exists that he didn’t make. Eternal life is in him, and this life gives light to all mankind.  His life is the light that shines through the darkness—and the darkness can never extinguish it.
God sent John the Baptist as a witness to the fact that Jesus Christ is the true Light.  John himself was not the Light; he was only a witness to identify it.
Later on, the one who is the true Light arrived to shine on everyone coming into the world.  But although he made the world, the world didn’t recognize him when he came.  Even in his own land and among his own people, the Jews, he was not accepted. Only a few would welcome and receive him. But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them.  All those who believe this are reborn!—not a physical rebirth resulting from human passion or plan—but from the will of God.
And Christ became a human being and lived here on earth among us and was full of loving forgiveness and truth. And some of us have seen his glory—the glory of the only Son of the heavenly Father!
John pointed him out to the people, telling the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming who is greater by far than I am—for he existed long before I did!’”  We have all benefited from the rich blessings he brought to us—blessing upon blessing heaped upon us!  For Moses gave us only the Law with its rigid demands and merciless justice, while Jesus Christ brought us loving forgiveness as well.  No one has ever actually seen God, but, of course, his only Son has, for he is the companion of the Father and has told us all about him.  (Jn 1:1-18, The Living Bible)
(Source of John 1:1-18, The Living Bible: Bible Gateway)
In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.  In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.  And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].
There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.  This man came to witness, that he might testify of the Light, that all men might believe in it [adhere to it, trust it, and rely upon it] through him.  He was not the Light himself, but came that he might bear witness regarding the Light.
There it was—the true Light [was then] coming into the world [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] that illumines every person.  He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him [did not know Him].  He came to that which belonged to Him [to His own—His domain, creation, things, world], and they who were His own did not receive Him and did not welcome Him.  But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They are born of God!]
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.
John testified about Him and cried out, This was He of Whom I said, He Who comes after me has priority over me, for He was before me. [He takes rank above me, for He existed before I did. He has advanced before me, because He is my Chief.]  For out of His fullness (abundance) we have all received [all had a share and we were all supplied with] one grace after another and spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and even favor upon favor and gift [heaped] upon gift.  For while the Law was given through Moses, grace (unearned, undeserved favor and spiritual blessing) and truth came through Jesus Christ.  No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son, or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He has made Him known].  (Jn 1:1-18, Amplified Bible)

EVEN THE PREFERRED ARIAN-BIASED BIBLES OF THE ANTICHRISTS TESTIFIES ON THE DIVINITY OF JESUS CHRIST
Jesus Christ is God as He is God over all:
Whose are the fathers, from among whom Christ appeared in the flesh, who is God over all, to whom are due praises and thanksgiving, for ever and ever. Amen. (Rom 9:5, Lamsa Translation)
And the patriarchs, and from them physically Christ came—God who is over all be blessed forever! Amen. (Rom 9:5, Goodspeed New Testament)
Jesus Christ is God as He is the Incarnation of God.  That is, it was all the fullness of God’s nature that lives embodied in Jesus Christ:
Beware lest any man mislead you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the teaching of men, after the principles of the world, and not after Christ. For in him is embodied all the fulness of the Godhead. (Col 2:8-9, Lamsa Translation)
Beware of anyone getting hold of you by means of a theosophy which is specious make-believe, on the lines of human tradition, corresponding to the Elemental spirits of the world and not to Christ. It is in Christ that the entire Fulness of deity has settled bodily, (Col 2:8-9, Moffat Translation)
Take care that nobody exploits you through the pretensions of philosophy, guided by human tradition, following material ways of looking at things, instead of following Christ. For it is in him that all the fulness of God’s nature lives embodied, (Col 2:8-9, Goodspeed New Testament)
Jesus Christ is God as He is in the form of God.  That is, Jesus Christ possessed the nature of God making Him equal with God:
Reason this within you which Jesus Christ also reasoned, Who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation and took upon himself the form of a servant, and was in the likeness of men: And, being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross. (Phil 2:5-8, Lamsa Translation)
Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he possessed the nature of God, he did not grasp at equality with God, but laid it aside to take on the nature of a slave and become like other men. When he had assumed human form, he still further humbled himself and carried his obedience so far as to die, and to die upon the cross.  (Phil 2:5-8, Goodspeed New Testament)
Jesus Christ is God as He is the Lord and God:
Then he said to Thomas, Bring your finger here, and see my hands; and bring your hand and put it into my side; and do not be an unbeliever, but a believer. Thomas answered and said to him, O my Lord and my God! Jesus said to him, Now you believe, because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen me, and have believed.  (Jn 20:27-29, Lamsa Translation)
Then he said to Thomas, “Look at my hands, put your finger here; and put your hand here into my side; cease your unbelief and believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “You believe because you have seen me?  Blessed be those who believe though they have never seen me.”  (Jn 20:27-29, Moffat Translation)
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at my hands, and take your hand and put it in my side, and be no longer unbelieving, but believe!” Thomas answered him, “My Master and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Is it because you have seen me that you believe? Blessed be those who believe without having seen me!”  (Jn 20:27-29, Goodspeed New Testament)
Next he said to Thomas: “Put your finger here, and see my hands, and take your hand and stick it into my side, and stop doubting but believe.” In answer Thomas said to him: “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him: “Because you have seen me, have you believed? Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe.”  (Jn 20:27-29, New World Translation)
Jesus Christ is God as He is the true God, and eternal life:
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in him who is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. (1Jn 5:20, Lamsa Translation)
We know that we belong to God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil One. We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us insight to know Him who is the Real God; and we are in Him who is real, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the real God, this is life eternal.  (1Jn 5:20, Moffat Translation)
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us power to recognize him who is true; and we are in union with him who is true, through his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (1Jn 5:20, Goodspeed New Testament)
Jesus Christ is God as He is our God and Savior according to 2 Peter 1:1:
SYMEON PETER, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have been allotted a faith of equal privilege with ours, by the equity of our God and saviour Jesus Christ: grace and peace be multiplied to you by the knowledge of our Lord. (2Pt 1:1-2, Moffat Translation)
Note: The Moffat Translation above called Jesus Christ our God and saviour while the Lamsa Translation below called Jesus Christ our LORD and Saviour.  In Verse 2, the Lamsa Translation made it clear that our LORD and Saviour is our LORD Jesus Christ, testifying to the accurateness of the Moffat Translation that Jesus Christ is truly our God and Saviour!
SIMON Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who through the righteousness of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ have been made equal with us in the precious faith; Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ, (2Pt 1:1-2, Lamsa Translation)
Jesus Christ is God as He is our God and Savior according to Titus 2:13:
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (Ti 2:13, Lamsa Translation)
While we wait for the fulfilment of our blessed hope in the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Christ Jesus. (Ti 2:13, Goodspeed New Testament)
Jesus Christ is God as His Church is interchangeably called the Church of Christ and the Church of God:
Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the church of Christ which he has purchased with his blood. (Acts 20:28, Lamsa Translation)
Take care of yourselves and of the whole flock, of which the holy Spirit has made you guardians, and be shepherds of the church of God, which he got at the cost of his own life. (Acts 20:28, Goodspeed New Testament)
Jesus Christ is God as the Father called Him God who made the earth and the heavens:
But of the Son he said, Thy throne, O God (O Son), is for ever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God (Son), even your God (your Father), has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your fellows. And from the very beginning you have laid the foundations of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands: (Heb 1:8-10, Lamsa Translation, emphasis mine)
