@@fullofgracehomestead It’s amazing how many verses in the book of John that say that Jesus Christ is eternal life…and we can start living the abundant life that he talks about in John 10:10 by walking in the renewed mind/spirit!

@@richard8635How can God Almighty Jehovah shed blood when he is spirit (John 4:24) and cannot die (1 Timothy 1:17)? Also, did any of Jesus’ disciples perform any miracles in the book of Acts? The word “Godhead” only appears 3 times in the KJV. Many point to Colossians 2:9 as if Jesus is a part of a triune God when in the very next verse, it says “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” Jesus being the head of all principality and power doesn’t mean he’s Almighty God Jehovah. Jesus RECEIVED all power and authority in heaven and earth from his Father and God (Matthew 28:18, Ephesians 1:20-21) who happens to be the same Father and God as Mary Magdalene (John 20:17). When you receive something it means you didn’t have it before. Not to mention that Jesus has to give all power and authority back to God the Father after the last enemy (death) is destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:24-28, Revelation 20:14). When it comes to Colossians 1:15-16, many tend to just read those two verses and the not the next few verses that immediately follow to get a better understanding of what is being communicated. God was pleased to have his fullness dwell in Jesus Christ. He is the preeminent prophet, priest, and king. No one will ever top his ministry as God's representative to redeem mankind. God chose him and foreknew this plan before the foundations of the world. Every other prophet, king, and priest was but a shadow of what was to come: God's Messiah, Jesus the CHRIST who is the head of the body/the church and the firstborn from the dead. Saying only God’s “human nature” died actually lowers God’s “atonement” for sins as an actual man did the will of God every day of his life by walking by God’s spirit and shed his actual blood so we could be redeemed back to God the Father. When Jesus was tempted, he walked in the spirit by faith in God’s word (Matthew 4:1-11, 26:39-44). This is exactly what Paul teaches us on how to live the Christian life as “the just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38) which is believing God’s word to be true regarding the grace/reality/truth in which we stand in as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17).

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” -Acts 16:30-31

@ Bible teachers and pastors who have spent decades “studying the scriptures” does not equate to truth. This is why many people are not being spiritually fed/filled by the word/truth that sets them free in the “Institutionalized Church system” because they are depending on man to tell them what the Bible says rather than search the scriptures themselves and rely on God’s spirit to lead and guide them. “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” -Acts 17:10-11

@@richard8635 As for Colossians 1:16, I’d encourage you to look at the Greek words for “by” which can be translated as “dia” (through) or “en” (in) to get a better understanding on what is being communicated in that verse. God created all things through/in Jesus and for him.

@@Isaac-et9wd I haven’t really studied this verse but are you implying that the furnace and the lamp are two beings? Why did you choose this verse as I don’t see how it has anything to do with my video. I just did a really quick study on this verse and a furnace seems to refer to Egyptian captivity of God’s people: “But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.” -Deuteronomy 4:20 “For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron” -1 Kings 8:51 “Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God” -Jeremiah 11:4 And the burning lamp represents God saving them from it?

@@brendangoodbrand2597 Eternal in what sense?

Has no beginning uncreated and I'm not talking about His humanity we all know His humanity had a beginning it's a simple Question ❓ is the Son the same Eternal Spirit as the Father and Holy Spirit

@@brendangoodbrand2597 I don’t see that in the scriptures, so no. Jesus was created by the power of the Holy Spirit in Mary’s womb (Luke 1:35) and God the Father was in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:19) through his spirit which can also be said about all brothers and sisters in Christ as they have the same spirit, hence one of my points in this video that God the Father is in and through all. What separates Jesus from every other human being in existence is that he was God’s chosen representative to redeem mankind (the Christ, Messiah, Anointed One) who never sinned, did the Father’s will and not his own (Matthew 26:39-44), laid his life down for the sins of the world, was raised from the dead, seated at the right hand of God Almighty and RECEIVED all power and authority in the Heavens and on Earth (Matthew 28:18, Ephesians 1:20-21). God the Father is outside of the Heavens and Earth as he created them “in the beginning” (Genesis 1:1). The Angels were already created at that point as we see in Job 38:4-7. After his millennial reign on the throne of David, Jesus will have to put down all rule, power, and authority after the last enemy (death itself) is destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:24-28). This parallels with Revelation 20:14.

You can't answer a simple yes or no question ❓ you have a created Savoir a false Jesus

1 John 5:20 say's The Son is the True God

What is the context of John 6:46 of Jesus being the only one who has “seen the Father”? What does that exactly mean? We can know God fully now through his word, through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1:2) as “the word was made flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). Jesus had glory with the Father before the world was (John 17:5) because the Father loved him before the foundation of the world (John 17:24). Jesus existed with the Father in his foreknowledge and had glory with him. The same however can be said about the body of Christ: “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” -John 17:22-24 “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” -Romans 8:29-30 “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory” -1 Corinthians 2:7 “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will” -Ephesians 1:4-5

@2Peter3-18 Only two Unitarians have answered my often posed question asking "Who is Jesus Christ's biological father to a Unitarian, if He's not God who became flesh?" They responded that it was obviously Joseph, not God, as described in Luke 1:35. That means they believe Jesus is the bastard son of Joseph and Mary's fornication, because she was several months pregnant when they married. Could the Savior of the world be a product of such immorality? Who do you say is Christ's genetic father? Or was He created somehow without a human or divine father? How does that make Jesus just like us?

@ The same can be said about Adam. He was formed from the dust of the ground and no one is saying that he is God Almighty. Adam had biological kids with Eve and neither was conceived like you and I. Jesus was formed by the power of the Holy Spirit in Mary’s womb. Adam and Jesus were created in different ways but both were men without sin. The difference is that Adam fell into temptation and sinned by listening to his wife and not standing on God’s word (Genesis 3:6, 17) but Jesus was always obedient to God’s word (Romans 5:15-19, 1 Corinthians 15:20-23) when he was tempted (Matthew 4:1-11, 26:39-44, Hebrews 2:18, 4:15). Saying Jesus Christ is God Almighty actually lowers his “atonement” and takes away from his ability to walk by the spirit every day of his life (what Paul tells us to do for living the Christian life: walking by faith in God’s word = putting on the mind of Christ) and that an actual human gave his life/shed his blood by doing the will of God. There is not a single verse that says that “God’s human nature died”.

@@tavo2422 So encouraging to hear! Thank you for sharing.

@@msha9584Believe what?

Also, wanted to share a couple other non-Scriptural info I think has a relationship to the development of the Trinity. 1 - The Christian Trinity symbol is the Triquetra, an ancient pagan symbol of worship first developed by the Celts to explain their trinities - earth, sea and sky, for the material realm, and earth, heaven and the underworld for the spiritual realm. The Triquetra has also been used to represent the triple Goddesses - Maiden, Mother and Crone, or revealing the pagan idea of interconnectedness of three in the cycle of life. In ancient alchemy, they believed that all life was one Essence made up of Three Substances. Sound familiar? 2 - After Jerusalem became a conquered Roman outpost in 70 AD, Roman Emperor Hadrian, renamed the holy city Aelia Capitolina, from 130 to 325 AD. It was dedicated to the Capitoline Triad, a pagan trinity consisting of three deities - Jupiter (Optimus Maximus), the king of the gods; "Queen" Juno (his wife and sister); and Jupiter's daughter Minerva, the Goddess of Wisdom. In 325 AD, Constantine ordered Jerusalem to be Christianized. The temple to the triune gods was torn down to build the still standing Roman Catholic owned Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Upon excavating, they said they found Jesus' tomb, but there's no proof of that. In that same year, Christian leadership, along with Emperor Constantine, introduced a triune God adding a third person to Deity with the Father and Son of Scripture. Many called the Trinity's third person the “Wisdom” of God, the same title Minerva, the Goddess of “Wisdom”, had previously held there. I wonder how much effect this long-standing pagan Triune temple in Jerusalem had on the development of a Christian Triune God? It didn't come from Scripture.

@@SSNBN777 You win the award for longest comment haha. In all seriousness, I’m glad you see that scripture always focuses on the Father/Son relationship with no mention of a “3rd person” (outside of a few taken out of context verses including Matthew 28:19 which I believe the part “baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” was added by the translators as throughout the book of Acts, it always says “in the name of Jesus Christ” whether it’s referring to preaching the good news of the Gospel (Acts 5:42), the baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38), or healings (Acts 16:18). There is one God, the Father, AND one Lord Jesus Christ who Peter says God the Father “made both Lord and Christ” in Acts 2:36.

@@celiasleigh2805 “But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, AND Jesus STANDING on the RIGHT HAND of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.” -Acts 7:55-56 Who is Stephen looking at in heaven? If Jesus is God Almighty, is he standing at his own right hand? If you look at all the throne room verses in the Bible, it only refers to the Father and the Son. No mention of the Holy Spirit.

@@2Peter3-18 Ask the Lord to reveal the truth to you. Hopefully he will. Take care.

@@tatianaG You make a lot of great points here. Not a single believer has 100% correct doctrine but for me, it’s all about the Gospel (which I don’t believe the Trinity doctrine has anything to do with). Everyone within the body of Christ agrees that Jesus is the Son of God (Messiah, Anointed One). I do mention Marking and Avoiding a handful of times throughout my channel, but that’s mainly in reference to those who are bringing a works based Gospel which can interfere with one’s assurance and confidence as to who they are in Christ and what they have been freely given. I do believe there is a difference between a brother or sister who is just in error because of who they have made listening to versus an actual wolf in sheep’s clothing who is out to spy out our liberty in Christ and bring bondage to the saints. The Christian walk is all about looking to Christ and his finished work and growing in this new truth/reality that we are children of God (Galatians 3:26), are children of light (1 Thessalonians 5:5), have peace with God (Romans 5:1), are co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17), are complete in him (Colossians 2:10), have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ (Ephesians 1:3) and our life is hidden in Christ at the right hand of God in the heavenly places (Colossians 3:1-3).

@ as a not so new believer for awhile I thought Paul was a false apostle… thank God I didn’t bring it up on TH-cam, I would have been stoned and crucified. I had a humble heart though and was always seeking truth, eventually Jesus corrected me. He taught me to never tear down others for their doctrine… I read thru your comment section and see believers calling others “reprobates” while at the same time posting on their own channels how much they love God and to have mercy on others. Like give me a break. The way we treat others is the way we treat Jesus. The way we speak to others is very important to God. For so long I wanted to fellowship with that crowd that all encourage each other in Christ, but Jesus would never let me. I always felt Him saying “no”… then I would see them making posts about marking and avoiding others and posting publicly comments of people they didn’t agree with, speaking badly of them, like they know so much, and I realized why Jesus always gave me a “no”… I do know that when we seek God for the truth He will lead us to all truth. I’d rather seek God for myself and even if I’m wrong for awhile I know He will correct me, rather than follow the teachings of others and sound like them. Sorry for my rant. Like I said this is the first video of your that I have seen… just reading thru your comments made me really upset: Let us learn from Christ how to treat and speak to others. ❤️

Also sharing that my understanding of who Christ is has changed and grown over time the more I understand and seek Him. He has become even more glorious to me ❤ All that “mark and avoid” attitude of talking AT someone always makes me angry when I see it… instead of talking TO someone and just having a conversation instead of a debate. This is the first video I have watched of yours and I just got upset reading the comments and peoples attitude.

@@tatianaG Thank you for sharing this. I was hesitant to make a video bringing up the Trinity on my channel as I have seen in my personal life just how much division it can bring. With that said, I am now hearing brothers and sisters say that this is a salvation issue which is only adding more confusion and division to the body of Christ and so I felt led to make a video to stand on what I believe is true. This is why Acts 16:30-31 is my favorite moment in scripture because it shows us in real time how simple it is for someone to be born again. “And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Matthew 16:15-17 with Simon Peter is another great example as well as the blind man in John 9:35-38. It’s all about believing that Jesus is the SON of God.

@@TheGospelsSaveJesus was SENT (same concept as my Dad sending me to the grocery store to get items for him) by his Father (the same Father as members of Christ’s body John 20:17) to do God’s will (preach life through his name, lay his life down for the sheep and as a result, he would be seated at the Father’s right hand in the heavenly places) which was laid out in the OT scriptures. As Jesus got older, he “became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom” (Luke 2:40) and he “increased in wisdom and stature” (Luke 2:52).

@ John 4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

@ Matthew 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

@ Jesus received revelation through God’s spirit just like Ananias received revelation in a vision from the risen Lord Jesus to “go into the house of Judas for one called Saul” -Acts 9:11

@ Jesus Christ is the promised seed of David, Abraham, and the woman. From their perspective, he was the future Messiah who was to be born/come into the world through their lineage. They didn’t know his name was going to be Jesus but they knew that he would one day come and fulfill all the promises made from God Almighty.

@Nikwunu Do you have a chapter and verse where it says that Jesus was “externally tempted but not internally tempted”?

@@Magnusmm88-wp4it If you believe Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again apart from any works for your salvation than you are “sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of Redemption” -Ephesians 4:30 All the enemy can do once we are born again is to get us to look to our flesh/performance to try and please God, stay saved, etc. The battle is all in the mind.

@2Peter3-18 Yes Jesus Christ is God in the flesh and Son of God that died and was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures and is hier of the God.

That is a lie from the enemy as I have the testimony of Christ because I have believed in the simplicity of the Gospel. I believe Jesus is the CHRIST (Messiah) shed his blood for my sins and he alone is the propitiation. The AntiChrist spirit has to do with those who have gone the way of Cain/hate the body of Christ and fail to recognize them by their testimony which I talk about in my 1 John video.

@@BenjPruett I appreciate your gentleness. I have studied most of the verses that people have posted regarding Jesus as God Almighty. Maybe I’ll do a video going through each verse and explaining what it means in context. Even though there are 20-25 verses that Trinitarians generally use to defend the doctrine, there are many more verses that say something otherwise. We have to interpret scripture in light of the clear verses first like 1 Corinthians 8:6, John 17:3, James 1:13, 1 Corinthians 15:21-23, 1 Corinthians 11:3, John 14:28, John 20:17, Romans 8:17, 1 Timothy 2:5, Galatians 1:1, Acts 10:38, John 5:30-31, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Matthew 16:15-17, Romans 8:29, Matthew 1:1, Psalm 83:18, Acts 7:55-56, 1 Timothy 1:17, etc and then try to fit in unclear verses afterwards.

Not believing in the “Trinitarian” doctrine is not what Paul was referring to when he said to “Mark and Avoid” or to “Let them be accursed”. Jesus, Paul, Peter, John, etc never taught the Trinity or that God was triune in nature. Every time in the opening of Paul’s letters, he says “God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ”. Where is the Holy Spirit? You would think this would be a revolutionary teaching for the church as the Gentiles knew nothing of the OT. Do you think Israel was waiting for a “God man” to come be their Messiah or a “man” based on the Genesis 3:15 prophesy and being the seed of Abraham and David? I grew up only knowing the Trinity doctrine. But the scriptures makes much more sense when we see that there is one God, the Father (1 Corinthians 8:6, John 17:3) AND one Lord/Messiah Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is just God’s power in us and the way he operates throughout time since God is spirit (John 4:24).

@@2Peter3-18 So true!

@@OnlytrustinJesus God (who is spirit, John 4:24) chose to fully reveal himself through his word/Jesus Christ. That doesn’t mean that Jesus Christ is God Almighty. Jesus and the Father are one just like the body of Christ with each other are one (John 17:11, 21-22), Paul and Apollos are one (1 Corinthians 3:6-8), or Jesus and his body are one (Hebrews 2:11).

@2Peter3-18 Did you even read? God the Father called the Son, God in Hebrews... and it says that by Jesus he made the worlds. It is literally saying Jesus is both God and the Creator.

@@OnlytrustinJesus I have read Hebrews 1 many times and a few years ago, I was confused when trying to read it with a “Jesus is God” perspective. Some questions for you: A. Can God die? 2. Who raised Jesus Christ from the dead? D. Can God be tempted? Was Jesus Christ tempted?

@2Peter3-18 His flesh died, not his Spirit. He was raised by the Father bodily, not spiritually. He never sinned, in thought, word or deed. The devil tried to tempt Him, but failed, just like the pharisees. God, the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit all participated in his resurrection. "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." John 2:19 "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you" Romans 8:11 "Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)" Galatians 1:1

@ Galatians 1:1 is a fantastic verse. Paul was an apostle THROUGH (Greek word Dia) Jesus Christ and God the Father RAISED Jesus Christ from the dead. And we know from Malachi 3:6, 1 Timothy 1:17, and 1 Timothy 6:16 that God cannot die therefore Jesus Christ cannot be God Almighty.

@@SoundsofGladness There’s a difference between “mighty God” and the “Almighty God”. “Almighty God” is always in reference to God the Father. “And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.” -Exodus 7:1 “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” -Psalm 82:6 Moses and the judges of Israel were called “gods”. As for “Everlasting Father”, we see in the NT that there is a separation with God the Father AND the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus represented God but he’s not God Almighty himself. In all of Paul’s writings, he starts off by thanking The Father AND Jesus Christ. Why does he never mention the Holy Spirit if it was also a part of a Triune God? I’d encourage you to look into how the words/titles LORD, Lord, and God are used throughout the scriptures. Almighty God’s name JEHOVAH only appears 4 times now in the KJV. It use to appear over 6000 times but it was replaced with LORD by the translators.

@@2Peter3-18 Luke 1:32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,

@@SalvationIsEasy-op2qs Is there one crystal clear verse where Jesus claims to be God? I only see verses where he claims to be the Son of God (Matthew 16:15-17, John 4:25-26 for example). I believe in the person (The only begotten Son of God) and his work (that he died for my sins, was buried and rose again according to the scriptures for my justification apart from any works). I love you brother and know that you and I are brothers in Christ. I have watched many of your videos and even though we don’t see eye to eye on this. I know you have the testimony of Christ because you have believed in the finished work of Christ. Not because you think Jesus is God or part of a triune God.

Jesus also gave the same authority to His disciples. “Whose sins you forgive will be forgiven & whose sins you retain will be retained.” I guess the disciples are God too? Why not all of us as well? We are 1 with Jesus & 1 with the Father just as much as Jesus. He is not ashamed to call us “brother” & to worship God in the midst of the assembly of the gentiles. GOD has made Jesus both Christ & Lord & GOD has exalted His name above every name. But all are subjected to the Son except Him who subjected all things unto Him (God is the only exception). Christ is the head of every man. God is the head of Christ. Again you can make the same case that all in Christ are God: Jesus hath reconciled all things, things in heaven & things on earth that God may be ALL in all. Are ALL God? According to this scripture you can say yes. At the end of the day we are ALL created in the similitude of God. God created man in His own image. Why does Jesus say “why do you call Me good? Only God is good”? So they would know that it is GOD in Him doing the works, not MAN. All of us were created to depend fully on God. Jesus DEMONSTRATED this. He is the FIRST BORN of ALL creation. Meaning all are to be just like Him. “As He is so are WE in this world.” It’s not as cut & dry as you think. You can take scriptures all over the place & make an argument that Jesus is God, but in making that argument you can also argue that we are all God. The point is that God has made us all 1 through Christ & God in us is the only One who gets any credit for any of it. ALL glory goes to God. God was doing the works in Christ & God does the works in us through Christ, “To the glory of God the Father.” Don’t for a second think certain Christians have so much figured out. The same ones who claim Jesus is God also claim eternal torment in hell is clear, cut & dry. This idea that salvation is all about going to heaven & avoiding hell is completely unbiblical. “How UNSEARCHABLE are His judgements & His ways PAST finding out.” Yet most Christians have already predetermined that everyone not a Christian will be tormented in hell for all eternity?? Sounds just like Pharisees condemning the sinners whom Jesus came to save, trying to pass a much worse judgement than even the Pharisees. Why do Christians think they are the judge? There is only 1 lawgiver & judge. We judge those inside the church that we may not be condemned with the rest of the world. But God judges outsiders. What would be the motive for Christians trying to scare the whole world away from God by making God sound worse than the most evil tyrants the earth has seen? How can I trust Jesus to save sinners if He is also casting sinners into hell to be tormented for all eternity? Or maybe it’s just the self righteous who are outside suffering the consequences of NOT being merciful & rejecting God’s mercy. The liars who condemn sinners by rejecting the testimony of Jesus. Yet most Christians never stop to think twice about a hell doctrine that is the foundation of Islam. I’m not saying Jesus is not God-I can make a case, but I can make just as good of a case that “the Father is greater than the Son.” Jesus humbled Himself, emptied Himself, in order that God would be working always in Him. We do honor the Son just as we honor the Father. God committed all judgement to Him for this reason. Interesting that Jesus Himself says “GOD judges no one, but has committed all judgement to the Son.” Again, I don’t think this is something to divide over. The hell doctrine is much more serious. People are running away from God because of the Christians who claim God is unloving, unforgiving & unmerciful for all of eternity BY DEFAULT.

@@2Peter3-18 No, There isn't one, even when he was about to get stoned when he told the scribes that he was born before Abraham. Remember John 8:57-59---Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” 58“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!” At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.… They never read Psalms 82:6I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.. Here, you can see that Jesus was called a mighty god, a wonderful counselor, etc.

@@joyfulone72652 Peter 3:18 has nothing to do with growing in the doctrine of the Trinity as Jesus, John, Peter, Paul never stated that Jesus was God but that he was the Son of God (Messiah). I don’t associate with any religious organization as I left the IC system earlier this year. While I’ve had some people separate themselves from me through this doctrine, there are brothers and sisters in Christ who I’ve become closer with. I know I’m secure in the Father’s hands because I have believed the record regarding God’s son and am walking with more peace than ever before because I know who I am in Christ.

@@SalvationIsEasy-op2qs Actually David received “worship” in 1 Chronicles 29:20: “David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.” “And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.” -Genesis 23:7 “And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.” The Hebrew word for “bowed” in both of these verses is the same word used for “worship”.

@@SalvationIsEasy-op2qs What do you think the word “equal” means here? What is the context of what John is communicating? Throughout the book of John, God “sent” Jesus. Jesus was an agent from God who didn’t come on his own authority but received it from God (like an ambassador or power of attorney when it comes to representing someone). I am equal in age with one of my best friends but that doesn’t mean we are the same being. Jesus wasn’t claiming to be the same essence of God but having an equality in authority which was given to him by God. We see this in John 3:2, 3:34, 4:34, 5:19, 5:26, 5:30-31, 6:38, 7:16, 8:28, 8:50, 14:10, 14:24, 14:31, 17:4

“one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. “ - Ephesians 4:6 Okay that settles it, we are all equal with God & therefore we are all God.

@@BingoNamo-gb8pz Ephesians 4:6 is saying that God Almighty, the Father (who is spirit John 4:24) is in everything. It’s his spirit that created the Heavens and the Earth. It’s his spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. It’s through his spirit that makes us all “one”. It’s through his spirit how we have fellowship. “I and my Father are one.” -John 10:30 “And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.” -John 17:11 “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.” -John 17:21-23 “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” -1 John 1:3

@@2Peter3-18 yea I was just using the same logic as the “Jesus called God His Father which means He is calling Himself God” argument to show how you can use that same argument to claim we are all God.

@@BingoNamo-gb8pz Oh I see now. I wasn’t sure who you were replying to. Yes, great point.

@@SalvationIsEasy-op2qs “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.” -John 8:28 “He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is NOT mine, but the Father's which SENT me.” -John 14:24 “How God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was WITH him.” -Acts 10:38

​@2Peter3-18 the father eternally "generates" his will to the son. the son does not have a distinct will in orthodox triniarianism. the father and the son are able to be distinct persons with genuine interactions (their love for eachother is to be taken literally) while sharing the same will, being cosubstancial.

@ Do you have a chapter and verse that says that the father “externally generates his will to the son”?

If you grew up on an island by yourself and came across a book that had only those 3 verses, would you honestly come to the conclusion that Jesus Christ is God Almighty? The word was made flesh (made known) as God has chosen to fully reveal himself through Jesus Christ/his word (Hebrews 1:2). That still doesn’t make Jesus Christ God Almighty. And we as members of Christ’s body have the word of God dwelling within us.

@@2Peter3-18 and the word was God. How do you wiggle your way around that one sir?

@ The last part of John 1:1 is not a good translation. I’d encourage you to watch this video to get a better understanding of what this verse is actually communicating: th-cam.com/video/QJ2mn_TDjCQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TLxDACBfgjCTQQFm
