@Phoneman777. here is another set of scriptures that clearly shows the Lord Jesus as the ordinal First, God, "FATHER", the LORD in the OT.
when Saul, going towards Damascus, meets Jesus. Acts 9:3 "And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:"
Acts 9:4 "And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?"
Acts 9:5 "And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said,
I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks."
so Saul, later Paul meets Jesus on the road to Damascus, now this,
Acts 9:10 "And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord."
Acts 9:11 "And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,"
Acts 9:12 "And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight."
Acts 9:13 "Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:"
Acts 9:14 "And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name."
Acts 9:15 "But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way:
for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:"
many scholars say it was God the Father who choose Saul for his Son? well let's see. for Saul, now Paul recount the same incident at Jerusalem to the Jews, Acts 22:12 "And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,"
Acts 22:13 "Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him."
Acts 22:14 "And he said,
The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth."
well this is where many scholars, NOT ALL, say, see it was God the Father who choose Saul for his Son. well NO, because Paul when he appealed his conviction to king Agrippa before going to Rome, he had this testomony before the king of the same incident on the road to Damascus. let's hear the Revelation. remember many say it was God the Father who choose Paul, then Saul, Listen,
Acts 26:12 "Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,"
Acts 26:13 "At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me."
Acts 26:14 "And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks."
Acts 26:15 "And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest."
Acts 26:16 "But rise, and stand upon thy feet:
for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;"
here is the Revelation, it was Jesus who "MADE" Paul, then Saul his minister. the Revelastion is in the word "MAKE" it is the Greek word,
G4400 προχειρίζομαι procheirizomai (pro-chei-riy'-zo-mai) v.
1. to handle for oneself in advance.
2. (figuratively) to purpose.
[middle voice from G4253 and a derivative of G5495]
KJV:
choose, make
Root(s): G4253, G5495
"
Choose" which is the SAME EXACT word used of Ananias in Acts 22:14 when he said who "Choose" him, "And he said,
The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth."
this word G4400 προχειρίζομαι procheirizoma, is used only in both Acts 22:14, and Acts 26:16. so when Ananias said, "
The God of our fathers hath chosen thee", the God of our fathers is the God of the OT. and in Acts 26:16 , JESUS said he had MADE/Chosen him to be his minister. which means that JESUS is the God of the OT, who is Father.
that right there clearly without a doubt shows that JESUS is both LORD/Father, and Lord/Son. again our Brother Thomas got it right , "My Lord and my God". Jesus is both GOD (Spirit), and Christ, (as a Man, in likeness). he is Lord and God.
