first thanks for the reply, second, I see you have no clue as to what the Right hand/Arm of God means. so lets get educated. Isaiah 63:5 "And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me”. the right "ARM" or "hand" of God is God himself. standing simply means acting in "POWER".
so mjrhealth, tellus how is the Lord Jesus standing on God right, when God #1. is a Spirit , B. who is everywhere at the same time?. God have no side to stand on, for there is no end to God, see how silly that is for someone to be standing on God Right.
Right hand or right ARM is only an anthropomorphism use to describe God actions. so it's not taken literally. but knowing this it explain your, "I can do nothing of My own self".
as Jesus is the "ARM" or right hand of God in flesh, lets understand this concept of "I DO NOTHING OF MYSELF".
The arm of flesh vs The Arm of the LORD, “authority”
to understand, Sennacherib the king of assyria was invading Judah, and Hezekiah king in Judah said this, let's read. 2 Chronicles 32:7 "Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: verse 8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah". one of the failing prompts of the Unitarians, JW belief, and others is this. they say, "Jesus is not God", and one of there excuses, "he could do nothing of himself", John 8:28 "Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things”. as the "the ARM of God", he was not authorized to act alone. this is clear as with the Assyrian army. no army, (an ARM of flesh, foot soldiers) act alone, or on their own power. not even our, the American Army, just get up and go to war with another country without authorization from the commander in chief, or congress. just as my own arm don't wave unless I authorized it to wave. just as a penny on the ground for example. the head gives direction to the body. this is explained in the understanding of the use of POWERS, the G1411 dunamis, and the G1849 exousia. just as the Army, here an ARM of Flesh, can do nothing of their own (BINGO), so do the Lord Jesus, he don't act alone while in a diverse state. this was one of the reason why he was in G2758 keno, (to abase, neutralize, or make of none effect), just like us ... "POWERLESS". but at his baptism he was authorized with G1849 exousia, (the Holy Spirit, his own Spirit), to act in the NAME of God which he wore... JESUS, he, the Spirit, who doth the work. as to forgive sin, heal the sick, raise the dead, and so on. he is our example of how the G1849 exousia works. and that's why we, as 1 John 3:2a states, "now we're the Sons of God". because we was not before. by default we all was the son of the evil one. our Lord Jesus having the NATURE, (see Phil 2:5) of God. yes, HAVING, is BEING IN THE FORM of God, having his nature, (Isaiah 63:5), he took on our humanity. so that as the "KINSMAN" redeemer in flesh and blood he then could give that BLOOD, which is the LIFE of the flesh, (see Lev 17:11), and redeem man from sin. this is the "OBJECTIVE" of God, his plan, and his will. and “BEING” in that flesh he GOD, Jesus, carried out his plan of salvation for Man. again his "OWN" arm brought salvation unto him, (see Isaiah 63:5). so that answers the “if Christ is God, how come he could do nothing of himself”. another excuse vanquish, and laid to the side. the Lord Jesus is the EQUAL SHARED Spirit IN FLESH AND BONE, THAT IS A NUMERICIAL DIFFERENCE, meaning in concrete form, (per Phil 2:6). this is what the definition G243 allos express. when one have a, DIFFERENCE, (here having flesh and blood), the term is called DIFFERENTIATION. look it up. question, since our Lord Jesus is the NUMERICIAL DIFFERENCE, as G243 express, which is a Shared state of the Spirit, meaning two of the same one person. so what is the OPPOSITE of DIFFERENTIATION?, since the process of our Lord being “ANOTHER”, so, what is the opposite process of DIFFERENTIATION, answer, "ASSIMILATION". listen to the definition of "ASSIMILATION" is to take in and incorporate as one's own, other words, (within), meaning one's own self, which is what the Lord Jesus is, his “OWN” arm. STOP, go back to the definition of be "SUBJECT", G5293 ὑποτάσσω hupotasso (hoop-ot-as'-so), in 1 Corinthians 15:28 meaning “within” the power of, (BINGO there is your RIGHT HAND), "WITHIN" the POWER of God. supportive scripture, 1 Corinthians 1:24 "But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." meaning, oneness in all things, especially in POWER, both the G1411 dunamis, and the G1849 exousia. supportive scripture, Colossians 2:9 "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily”. (BINGO, there it is).
the Right hand of God simply means he, Jesus, in the glorified body is both, Lord, the almighty, GOD and Christ, God in flesh...
Thomas had it Right "My Lord and my God".
