HEBREWS 1: GOD THE FATHER ADDRESSES GOD THE SONWhat scripture claims God the Son or God the Holy Spirit?
"No one can forgive sins but God alone”
HEBREWS 1: GOD THE FATHER ADDRESSES GOD THE SON
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: [as confirmed in John 1:1-3]
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED THE SCRIPTURES
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Tim 3:16)
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Pet 1:20,21)
It was Immanuel himself.Who made that statement? It wasn't those who believed in Jesus Christ as the Son of man.
47- Whoever belongs to God HEARS what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
Why did Jesus not say worship himself?John 4:23- But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth,
for such the Father seeks to worship him. 24- God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Why didn't Jesus say to worship 'Himself'?
Why didn't Jesus say to worship a 'Holy Ghost'?
Why did Jesus say worship a 'Trinity'"
Did he say we must worship God INSIDE a 'Holy Ghost'- or does "spirit" really refer to the power of the one whom is being referred to?
Jesus body diedJohn 10:12- He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 13- He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.
14- I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, 15- as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my >>> LIFE <<<< [NOT just the body!] for the sheep.
16- And I have other sheep [ Gentiles/Future disciples ] , that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my LIFE, that I may take it again.
18- No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this authority I have received from my Father.
2 Cor 5:15- And he died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
JESUS died- NOT just his body.
GOD never died- but JESUS did.
Jesus body died
he himself immediately left the body, he was still alive
he also died spiritually before he died physically
again, your arguments are fine. But they are lacking understanding
No we did not lieThus Churchianity says he was ALIVE!
He lied to his followers?
He floated out as an 'immortal soul' , and floated back into the corpse?
Death and Resurrection mean the SAME THING; just the destination being different?
Yep, both passages prove the trinity,The infamous spin of the clergy 'proving' Christ to be God:
John 10: 22- Then came the Festival of Dedication at Jerusalem. It was winter,
23- and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon's Colonnade.
24- The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, "How long will
you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."
[Was God, or 1/3 God, His/Their own MESSIAH?]
25- Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in
my Father's name testify about me,
26- but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
27- My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28- I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch
them out of my hand.
29- My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can
snatch them out of my Father's hand.
30- I and the Father are one."
Is Jesus his own FATHER?
Let's skip ahead to the 17th Chapter to see what was meant~
John 17:6- I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
7 -Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8- For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9- I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
10- All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.
11- I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.
20 - I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;
21- that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
So, another Trini-tactic dissolves in smoke; from these words, it is CLEAR that when Jesus said he and his Father were One- he wasn't talking Identity!
And notice the reference to the Name of God?
Just because later copyists removed it, and it wasn't in the Koine Greek language it doesn't destroy it: Jehovah (Yehovah)!
Jehovah said it would be His FOREVER!
