''For in him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. '' This is self explanatory. All godhood or the godhead is in Jesus. Meaning Jesus is FULLY God, just like the father. *

another scripture where you try to prove 3 in 1 by showing a scripture that only mentions 2 ppl.
Trinitarians often make much noise concerning the meaning of the word Theotes at colossians 2:9 it is often translated as GODHEAD which is obviously a word conveniently employed by Trinitarians because its more more easily peppered with concepts of 1 godhead with 3 persons. *

but the english word Godhead is a compound english word (compound word is when 2 words are put together to make a new word) that gives a variation totally different from the greek word 'Theotes' or its form in this scripture 'Theotetos'.
The greek word theotes refers not to 'GOD' in the sense of identifying a person, but to the essence of deity. And in this case the essence of deity of the Deity. *

Here paul is saying that the essence of Jesus' God dwells in the risen Jesus bodily. The word theotes is not refering to 'WHO' but 'WHAT'.
First of all this shows that trinitarians do not understand their own doctrine. *

On the one hand they argue that the fleshy body of Jesus is his humanity.
On the other hand here they saying its his bodily 'God'. They are being patently inconsistent with the facts.

2ndly paul is speaking in the present tense. A very common interpretation error here is to miss that paul is speaking in the present tense and necessarily refering to the bodily nature of the RISEN Christ.
*look at the context!
Also notice in colossians 2:10 where paul tells us that we christians have the same fullness. An obvious reference to the Holy Spirit. Now just because we too have this fullness of deity we cannot claim to be God.

colossians 2:9 is a reference to the nature of Jesus' bodily resurrection, that is, Spirit. And ofcourse having this fullness of deity does not make Jesus ''God'' anymor than it makes us ''God'' because we have the same fullness *
