    Jesus' God

    I think he did when he said: John 10:36 do you say to me (...) ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?” He is saying something like: I NEVER SAID I WAS GOD, BUT I AM GOD'S SON. But you do prefer to focus on what those Jews said instead of what Jesus answered them.

    A glaring proof of the divinity of Jesus is the many examples of God's people worshipping Christ in the New Testament, which Christ never corrected

    Nah, that is an interpretation, not a translation. This is the dialog in a correct translation: John 8:56 "Abraham YOUR father rejoiced greatly in the prospect of seeing my day, and he saw it and rejoiced.” 57 Therefore the Jews said to him: “You are not yet fifty years old, and still you have...

    Jesus' God

    And what did Jesus tell them? John 10:34 Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said: “You are gods”’? 35 If he called ‘gods’ those against whom the word of God came—and yet the scripture cannot be nullified— 36 do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and sent into the...

    A glaring proof of the divinity of Jesus is the many examples of God's people worshipping Christ in the New Testament, which Christ never corrected

    Did you check Jesus side of the story? John 10:34 Jesus answered them: “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said: “You are gods”’? 35 If he called ‘gods’ those against whom the word of God came—and yet the scripture cannot be nullified— 36 do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and sent into...

    A glaring proof of the divinity of Jesus is the many examples of God's people worshipping Christ in the New Testament, which Christ never corrected

    The same word is used here: Rev. 3:9 Look! I will make those from the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews yet are not, but are lying—look! I will make them come and bow before your feet and make them know that I have loved you. Do you think Jesus will make "fake Jews" to worship true...

    Jesus' God

    Are you talking about what those liar Jews, who used false witnesses in a religious trial, said?

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Uh, yes. It means that, but not in the sense you thought before. Otherwise: would be Christians "totally God" for being filled with the fullness of Jesus, who is filled with the fullness of God? Logical transference, my friend, is a natural process of thinking rationally.

    Did they really "WORSHIPPED" Jesus?

    Some examples of the use of the same word translated "worship" (all the time) by some translators: The astrologers who came from the east (Matt. 2:2,11); Peter and the others in the boat when Jesus calms the waves and the wind and walks on the sea (Matt. 14:33); the two women when he appears to...

    On the pre-existence of Jesus

    Do you think Jesus believed he had been in heaven before he was born as a human, or not? John 16: 27(...) ὑμεῖς ἐμὲ πεφιλήκατε __ you for me had affection καὶ πεπιστεύκατε __ and you have believed ὅτι ἐγὼ παρὰ [τοῦ] θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον. __ that I came from the side of God. 28 ἐξῆλθον παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Thanks. So now you know that "fullness" doesn't mean what you thought before.

    Jesus' God

    And, if don't honor the Father, are you really honoring the Son? Matt. 7:21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not...

    Jesus' God

    From Jesus' point of view, who was the God being worshipped in the temple in Jerusalem?

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    Nice, you got it right. Then why you don't believe the whole thing: John 1:14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of divine favor and truth. (...) 18 No man has seen God at...

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    If that is the interpretation of the word "firstborn" for you, would you say that God the Father is also "Firstborn of all creation"?

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    You say Jesus had no beginning, but the Scriptures call Jesus "the firstborn of all creation" in Col. 1:15. Interesting, right?

    THE Trinity can Now be discussed.

    In my study of the book of Acts I have found direct references to Jehovah, even though his name is not specifically mentioned. The most interesting thing about the matter is that although the name is not mentioned, the referenced passages of the OT do mention him, and that forces me to think...

    Jesus' God

    Have you checked how many times the God of Jesus is mentioned in the Christian Greek Scriptures? Rom. 15: 5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant you to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that unitedly you may with one voice glorify the...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    You're overthinking it... By logical transfer, if Jesus have the fullness of God in an absolute sense, and Christians have the fullness of Jesus, what would that imply? Ephe. 3:14 For this reason I bend my knees to the Father, 15 to whom every family in heaven and on earth owes its name. 16 I...

    How did the Trinity doctrine develop in the early church?

    Is the God of Jesus a lesser god or a greater God than Jesus? Rev. 3:12 ‘The one who conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out from it anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem that...
