thank you jag for calling me your sister. I have been called in many names but sister in christ because I dont agree with mainstream's trinity Jesus being equal to His Father, YHWH.
I understand you my dear sister in Christ...quite frankly, I, too don't agree with mainstreams...I almost want to feel like I am alone...of that such.(Faithful1)
It is so complicated the way trinitatians using the Scripture. so I won't go into the debate but I am firm believer of Jesus being Son of God and Savior of the world, and without Him noone can be saved and believing Jesus as God and equal to His Father is not necesary for salvation. Jesus exprssed in many ways that His Father is greater than Him. I believe this theology is passed down from RCC and mistic fairy tale like theology like most of the RCC's doctrine IMHO.
It is complicated indeed. I just think debates are pointless to me... (Romans 1:29) ...because for some reason... to me all it does is cause an arguments. I rather think of this as a discussion because it doesn't pick a fight. When Jesus says that His Father is greater than Him, we must realized at that time...He was saying that when he was human...in a flesh body. (John 1:14) When He was in the flesh, He didn't have that what He had earlier in His Life. (before He was in a flesh body) Jesus, the Son of God came as a simple man...not as God. (although He is God) (John 1:1, I Timothy 3:16)John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.I Timothy 3:16 - And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.In short, When Jesus, as flesh...His Father is greater than Him. I agree 100%.John 14:28 - Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.When Jesus, as God, He is equal to His Father...which is, He didn't steal anything that was from His Father.Philippians 2:6 - Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:It is no contradictions though...yet complicated, since there is no contradictions in the Word of God.(Faithful1)
