What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

[Heart2Soul]

Has anyone answered the thread title: What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God?.
For me, it establishes His reign as King of Kings, as the Alpha and Omega, as the Lord of Lord's, as the one in who all authority is given...the list goes on and on.
His Deity is unquestioned.

If that is what you want.

I'll see tomorrow, if I log in, and are banned, so be it, if not, you showed chesed.
You want to get to know me?

Praise the Lord for this statement, which I firmly and irrevocably believe.

You don’t have to talk to me. Just keep talking. I’m listening.

It has been answered.

It has been answered.

@Johann I think the way the very question in the thread's title is phrased, is odd...........

Hi @Heart2Soul What you say is of course excellent about the Lord Jesus. I guess I wonder about the wording of the question in the area of us supposedly making Jesus God.....this is an odd phrase, indeed......

@Johann Yes, I thought so, too.......

I was on a forum full of atheists and evolutionists. Even most of the Christians there believe in evolution. This one is much more tolerable for Christians

Some Christians are thin-skinned and so easily offended. They prefer to keep their light under a bushel and sequester themselves in little holy huddles where no pagan heretics may enter- such is their testimony, so easily upset.

Jesus said- “Let your light shine before men.”

He also said- ‘I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the Saints— the sinners are much more fun.’ Oh wait.... that was Elton John.

Elton John? I thought it was Billy Joel. I guess I wouldn’t do well on Trivia Night at Two Keys Tavern. (I’m more of a ‘60’s and 70’s guy.)

Umm........is the thread going off topic?

Yes- Billy Joel! My mistake. Maybe Elton John said it too— he just didn’t sing it. lol.

 

[Matthias]

lol! I guess I’ve got a little more left in the trivia tank than you caused me to think I had.

Look out Two Keys Tavern! Matthias is back in the game! (Looking for a partner though. Who doesn’t need backup in these things?)

You are correct it was Billy Joel. Only The Good Die Young. He didn't care much for Catholics

I love Catholics; married one. One of the best decisions I ever made. 40th anniversary next year.

That'll work. God's holy spirit is Jesus in substance/flesh.
The Trinitarians I've met insist Trinity means three separate and distinct persons.

They are serious too when they insist God has a personhood. And worse, some, not all, insisted Jesus ascended back to the father as,and remains in Heaven , a flesh and blood man.

Yes, I don't know where they got that three persons definition. Tertullian is the father that defined the Trinity in the 200's. He left the Roman church because it was too worldly and joined the Montanists who still had the Holy Spirit and were strict on behavior.

Tertullian:
“We define that there are two, the Father and the Son, and three with the Holy Spirit, and this number is made by the pattern of salvation . . . [which] brings about unity in trinity, interrelating the three, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are three, not in dignity, but in degree, not in substance (?) but in form, not in power but in kind. They are of one substance and power, because there is one God from whom these degrees, forms and kinds devolve in the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” (Adv. Prax. 23; PL 2.156-7).

The Arian controversy: They were excommunicated from the Roman Church over this:

Arius taught, in accordance with an earlier subordinationist theological tradition, that the Son of God was a creature, made by God from nothing a finite time ago.

Sounds like the JW's liked their view.

I always get them mixed up... with Jesus. —He was the one with the 12 member band.
