Is God your servant?The Word (God) became flesh and dwelt among us.
So God took on the form of a servant in becoming a Man.
Let's detail it now...
Do you think the body of Jesus is everywhere at once now(omnipresent)?
Or is his man sized body just fast?
If he is just fast, how can he be in 1000 places simultaneously as where 2 or 3 are gathered together on Sunday?
Is he faster than the speed of light to do this feat?
Is God your servant?
Absolutely Yes. God has created the Universe to function according to what mankind calls the Laws of Nature, but God, and therefore Jesus and the Holy Spirit, are not bound by the Laws of Nature.Let's detail it now...

So God in the form of a dove descended on Himself or His human son?
Was God manifested(revealed) in the flesh of Jesus like 2 Cor 5:19 says too?
Was was God manifested AS (turned into) flesh as incarnationists prefer?
I think you guys need to stop reading through the eyes of the RCC and start over again.
His human son, incarnation
I agree with God's unlimited power, AKA omniscience.Your thoughts are obscured.
I am not multiple people.
I am definitely not Catholic, or speaking on behalf of Catholics, or speaking what they preach.
Already Clearly said, God can manifest Himself in any Likeness, Manner, Timeframe "HE CHOOSES", and Call Himself Whatever HE Chooses...Yet GOD DOES NOT CHANGE.
I said NOTHING whatsoever about:
If you are disagreeing with those things, you are disagreeing with what You said, not me.
You seemingly are struggling with understanding the difference between the limited power of mankind and the Unlimited Power of God.
Good, you think that the body of Jesus is omnipresent.Absolutely Yes. God has created the Universe to function according to what mankind calls the Laws of Nature, but God, and therefore Jesus and the Holy Spirit, are not bound by the Laws of Nature.
Here is an illustrative time-travel thought exercise in which you have the ability to travel from now back in time twice to June 2nd 1953.
1. The first time you are located at Westminster Abbey for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
2. The second time you are located at Kathmandu where Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay are being hailed as heroes for being the first to climb Mt. Everest 4 days earlier on May 29th.
Result: On June 2nd 1953 you are in two places at once.
Does your God humble Himself before you?Jesus is in fact come in the flesh (1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7) and is also ascended to fill all things (Ephesians 4:10).
It is in that in the Person of the Son, Jesus dwells in a finite human body; while in the Person of the Holy Ghost, He is Omnipresent.
I suppose that, in a sense, He is (Isaiah 45:11).
I agree with God's unlimited power, AKA omniscience.
Jesus on earth said he was limited, but that his unlimited Father was working THROUGH him.
After resurrecting, he said he had been given all his Fathers unlimited power.
Paul later describes how this could be, by the Col 2:9 effect on Jesus, bodily.
Jesus, after his resurrection and being made a quickening spirit, embodies all of his God's power.
God does nothing now, but by and through Jesus, qualifying Jesus as God by default.
We do have original copies of the KJV.....If we had access to the original kjv, we would use it.
Name one thing that is truly omitted, meaning not present.It is no lie. Many things are omitted.
What about it?You forgot Luke 9:55-56. And there may even be more.
Classic taken out of context....Of course, the kjv is wrong when it says this:
Mat 5:18, For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law (i.e. the word of God), till all be fulfilled.

Well, here is what is going on with Jesus in heaven pre birth.Well aware Jesus came to Earth as a servant,
AND Later Revealed Himself as Christ who is the Power, Wisdom and SEED of God.
Not particularly a newsflash, that which is IN God or comes forth out from God, IS God.
You seem to be confused in Gods POWER to manifest Himself in AS a man, and calling Himself a Son of man, and WHO that man Was, Jesus was calling Himself a Son of.
I also am a son of man...That man, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, David...though I am NOT of Any Tribe of Israel or Married to anyone of the Tribe of Israel...yet AM, a son of the Faithful fathers of The Tribes of Israel, through Gods Way.
No, I will not let you go with that junk unchecked. Putting verses in the footnotes is not the same as omitting them. If anything it is more honest and transparent. And no, it is not an excuse to not take Scriptures at face value. It is simply recognizing that context matters and verses taken out of context are often misinterpreted.I don't...
Luke 9:55-56, in the NIV and NASB (and apparently, the Bible used by this forum also).
In the kjv:
Luk 9:55, But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
Luk 9:56, For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
It is omitted in certain modern versions.
Classic excuse to not take the holy scriptures at face value...
The Biblical Perspective:Good, you think that the body of Jesus is omnipresent.
Just as long as you don't think God came to earth as a servant. That's simple unthinkable.Well aware Jesus came to Earth as a servant,
AND Later Revealed Himself as Christ who is the Power, Wisdom and SEED of God.

God is not a "servant" King.

Bingo.No need to be concerned about what I think and Believe;
I'll stick with Scripture...
Matt 20:
[27] And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your "servant:"
[28] "Even" as the "Son of man came" not to be ministered unto, but "to minister."
/ serve...
Glory to God,
Taken
Jesus is the Son of man and the Son of God.Bingo.
The son of man came to serve, not God.
You hit the nail on the head with that verse.
