46 years later the Catholic Church decided to publish its own translationThe Father is gloriously the Creator: “without it was not anything made that was made.” - William Tyndale
btw Today in Christian History tweeted this morning that today is the anniversary of Tyndale’s strangulation and burning at the stake in 1536.

Good to be thankful for Tyndale; the King James is 9/10 Tyndale, apparently....The Father is gloriously the Creator: “without it was not anything made that was made.” - William Tyndale

Seriously, if you have a boss, you are not in authority, you are a slave to your boss. Jesus is God, preexisted with the Father and the Holy Spirit. All three were present at His baptism, Jesus got dunked, the Father spoke and the Holy Spirit descended. The pre-incarnate Jesus is the creator, all things were created by him, through him and for him. The Father refers to Him as God. (Hebrews 1:8) He is equal to the Father. But He relingquished that (put aside) glory temporarilty and became a man and submitted to the Father and accomplished His purpose.
The mystery of God has existed since the Fall of Man. It was God's purpose to come down and personally reveal Himself to us, face to face. So it happened and they saw Him and they referred to Him as Emmanuel, "God with us".
You are certainly not a cat, but some may think you are a donkey for your view. Since you do not indentify Jesus as God, then of course it would follow that you do not worship Him or give Him His full recognition that He deserves. Why would you? To view Him as lesser of a being than He is, is degrading and a dishonor to Him. When every knee bows to Him, we will be worshipping God in all the fullness of His Glory, not just an earthly King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

To suffer, serve and die for us. A humble God came down to us, to live on our level, to relate directly to us, so mankind could experience God up close and personal.Why in the world would God want to be a man (which He can't because He's God) and put aside His God Head? What purpose would that serve? Do you have just one verse to answer this question?
97% of 2.67 billion Christians are serious about that.I don't think you realize what you're saying. That God Almighty with all of His power and everything that He has and I mean it's all very big stuff. That something like that would come down here and let someone like me spit on Him. You can't be serious.

He's coming back soon, not to be spit on, but to judge the world. Then you can ask Him yourself, if you can handle that?

So for 1000 years, that will be your occupation, instructiong the Trinitarians, while you feel elated with each and every student? A prideful arrogance _ a smile of condescension _ looking down on all the ignorant people? No, this is another delusion, for all will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD. But of course, you are just being facetious ... hopefully?One of my joys in life is wondering if there will be 2.67 billion people asking why He could not get the right answers to them. And then I hope some of those 97% will be sent to me so I can remind them that I did try.
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30Since I work close with the Christ there are some things that I just know about God. And one of those things is that He is not humble. He does not have anything that would be considered humble. Find me a verse anywhere that says God is or was ever humble. Old Testament, New Testament... anywhere.
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
My favorite passage btw.
Since the Father and Jessus are One and Jesus is the exact expression and illumination of God, then this is His nature.
"I stand at the door and knock, if anyone opens the door, I will come in and sup with them". This is a God of humility. He doesn't demand that you open the door of your heart, He asks and politely for years and decades, knocks until they answer.
Humility is part of His character and this He stresses that we must be humble. The opposite of humility is pride, the worst sin. If God was prideful, there would be not much room for grace, forgiveness, mercy,; for I believe these qualities are seated in humility.
We were made in His image and this I believe is His Spirit and Soul. The "fruit of the Spirit"/ spiritual growth, requires humility. We must come to Him in humility to be saved, so obviously this is very much a part of His LOVE. Wisdom requires humility too.
Wow the things you do not understand about God - because of your view of Jesus.

Jesus did say Matt. 11:28-30. Since He is the exact expression of God, how is His Father any different?My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-29
*** Jesus said this... not God
The "fruit of the Spirit"/ spiritual growth, requires humility.
*** I disagree. The fruit of the spirit requires nothing. Wow the things you do not understand about God - because of your view of Jesus.
*** There is no Job 23:29
*** I have no idea how you get God is humble out of Isaiah 57:15
*** Not saying God is humble Psalm 25:9
*** There is no Paslam 238:6
*** Does not say God is humble Zeph. 2:3
*** Does not say God is humble James 4:6
*** Does not say God is humble 1 Peter 5:5

Humility is required to be saved/ born again. You can't be prideful when you come to God
Some of those verses are charges to us, to be humble, which is Christlike, godly.
Oops, correction >>> Psalm 138:6 & Job 22:29
Isaiah 57:15 " ...with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, ..."
