well Jesus given glory because he took a lower position Phil 2.

Oga Steep stop deceiving yourself.

John 17:22
Jesus said:. "The glory you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one
"

The question is:
Oga Steep,Which possession did Jesus Christ give God his Father?"

Olodo people use Jesus eternal Sonship to denote His Divinity.

He clarified his point in the second paragraph by saying "God the father declared him as his son when he was born."



Emusan MUMU , you are the eternal son of your Father. That is your family history & lineage.
"Eternal Sonship NEVER denotes Divinity. grin

Emusan: "Jesus became a Son on earth"

It had already being predetermined by the father before creation that christ would take a lower position to save mankind and after that he would recieve honor and glory befitting him.
So the father had already given him (preordained all things for him before creation).

The father,Son and Holy Spirit has different roles.

Your brain is still too dull to comprehend simple sentences.

At least you can see from the second part of his statement, so your inability to comprehend it wasn't anybody's fault.

Yes! I repeat Jesus only became Son on Earth Heb 1:4-5.

You have difficulty in comprehension. Scriptures revealed that Jesus took a lower position of a servant, Hebrews reveals that Jesus like Adam in his unfallen state was a little lower than the angels.
Jesus said the "father is greater than him" Jesus took a lower position at the same time Jesus claimed divinity only attributed to the father.
If a king took up the job of a class teacher, He is lower than the principal yet greater than the principle as a king.
Jesus took a lower position and after he has completed his mission was exalted above all creation but his humanity still remains a lower than the father.

This single post shows you don't even understand what you're arguing against.

Since the husband is the head of the wife, does that mean the man is NOW MORE HUMAN than the woman?

By nature both Husband and wife are EQUAL but by position the husband is the HEAD or greater than the wife.

The same mistake watchtower made in John 1:1 when compare with the story of Adam and Eve.

Scripture actually taught Jesus is equal to God which is The Father in this case.

Well, as usual the comprehension skills will be lost when reading a verse like below.

Phil 2:6 - Christ was truly God. But he did not try to remain equal with God. - CEV

Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained - AMPC

Who, while being in the form of God, did not regard the being equal with God a thing-to-be-grasped - DLNT

He was like God in every way, but he did not think that his being equal with God was something to use for his own benefit. - ERV

Christ had the same nature as God. He was completely equal with God. But he did not try to keep hold of that. - EASY

Though he was by nature God, he did not consider equality with God as a prize to be displayed - EHV

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; - NIV

Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. - NLT


Which version do you find hard or simple to understand?

Jehovah and Jesus are both spirit but you won't say one is greater...

Who exalted him according to the scriptures?

Is Jesus still humanity?

Remember the scriptures say that in future time, he'll hand over all authority to Jehovah so that he and all creation will remain under one sole rulership

I'll follow what Jesus himself said

'The father is greater than I'
Interestingly, you seem to have forgotten the holy spirit... Or your Bible did not mention that holy spirit is equally equal

You are talking about the same entity. What you call Father is the Essence or the Substance which filled and indwelled a material vessel, human whom we call Jesus.

Jehovah the Essence/Substance/Spirit is higher/Heavenly, what we know and call the son is a body prepared for a single purpose (death), and it's a lil lower than the Angels who are lower than the Father.

So, what made it seemed like the Father was greater than son was the human nature. The human nature became the son, while the divine nature was right inside the son was the father. But you couldn't separate the Father from the son just like, you can't separate a man's soul from his body. The entity called Jesus is the Father/ Substance/Holy Spirit which dwelled in a human body called Jesus. In Him all Fullness dwelled. Father-son-spirit. they are not three, but one.

Big mystery only for the initiates.

Jesus said himself is inferior to God his Father, John 14:28 & Revelation 3:12.
