@101G : Not really trying to get into all your discussion with
@brakelite over your own compelling doctrine, although I would reconsider who you think is the source of immortality once more.
I Tim 6:11 introduces YHWH the Father of Jesus Christ. He is the source of all immortality as stated in verse 16, not Jesus. YHWH gives immortality to whomever he wants, including our Lord and Saviour, and he did.
The underlined wording in 1 Timothy is about YHWH not Jesus Christ.
(1Ti 6:11) But you,
O man of God, flee these material things and instead pursue after righteousness,
reverence towards God, faith, love, patience, meekness.
(1Ti 6:12) Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the everlasting life, whereunto you were called and did confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
(1Ti 6:13) I urge you
in the sight of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate made the good confession:
(1Ti 6:14) Keep the commandment without stain, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1Ti 6:15) In due time
He shall reveal him, He who is the blessed and
only Potentate,
the King of kings and Lord of lords,
(1Ti 6:16)
who only has immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable. Whom no one has seen, nor can see.
To whom be honour and power eternal. Amen.
Also, Thomas never called Jesus YHWH, as did not the other disciples. You really think all the disciples thought Jesus was YHWH, don't you? There are only two viable explanations as I've told you in the past for Thomas' outburst, 1: the translation should be 'god' or 'might one' not 'God' for YHWH, or secondly, Thomas suddenly realized Jesus is the Lord indeed and his Father actually raised him back to life.
Good luck with your doctrines.
Bless you,
