Janosky:
The same ghost deceiving you Emusan told Bill Mounce (your fellow Trinitarian) that you are LYING.

If you have sense then you'll know you're contradicting yourself.

You presented Bill Mounce as evidence yet saying the same Ghost deceiving me.

Screenshot evidence of Phil 2:6 Mounce Greek interlinear.

You don't even need to use Bill Mounce because many translation put it that way.

because the translation that SIMPLIFIED that verse is the one I presented including your beloved AMPLIFIER BIBLE cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy

Jesus Christ a spirit in the form of God did not think equality with God a thing to be grasped "

A SPIRIT isn't in the manuscript

Lying liar jws

Jesus said himself is inferior to God his Father, John 14:28 & Revelation 3:12.
Why would he grasp equality which Jesus said doesn't not exist?
LYING no dey tire Trinitarians.
grin grin grin grin

Phil 2:6 Jesus is equal to God.

If you know you're being honest to yourself then provide Bill Mounce commentary on Phil 2:6 here.

Meanwhile, the same Bill Mounce who chaired the committee that produced NIV translation put it this way: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; - NIV

Janosky:

Revelation 3:12 & John 14:28 did Jesus Christ teach that he worship his equal?

Trinity nah SCAM.

Jesus is equal to God which is the Father according to Phil 2:6

I know it's still paining you since that is the position your father the Devil wants but couldn't get it. cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy

Steep:


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).

For the bolded claim, OGA Steep,Which scriptures and verse did you read that?
Steep:

The father,Son and Holy Spirit has different roles.

Did you see any equality in revelation 3:12 & John 17:22 & John 14:28?

Did you see role of holy spirit in Revelation 3:12 & John 17:22 & John 14:28?
Re: In What Way Is The Father Greater Than The Son? by Emusan(m): 6:49pm On Mar 13
Aemmyjah:


Father whether literal or not is always greater than the son

Based on Position but when it comes to NATURE, you and your father has the same NATURE as human, true or false?
Re: In What Way Is The Father Greater Than The Son? by Janosky: 6:52pm On Mar 13
Steep:
That is because Jesus took a lower position as a servant.

Philippians 2:6 Bill Mounce Greek interlinear puncture your claim.

Please check it out.

Aemmyjah:
Carry your stupid doctrine and educate your wife

Why the frustration?

Don't give yourself hypertension, Jesus needs you before you take hard way.

I'll follow what Jesus himself said

'The father is greater than I'

Nobody denied that and the same Jesus said through Paul that He is equal to God Phil 2:6

Will you follow that?

Interestingly, you seem to have forgotten the holy spirit... Or your Bible did not mention that holy spirit is equally equal

That's not the point here.

The point is you falsely accused Jesus that He never claimed to be equal to God, now I've shown you where it was stated clearly that Jesus is equal to God.

So if you want to talk about Holy spirit say it.

This one always jumping from different Trinitarian works to lie to himself.

Emusan,Does your similar nature with your Father prove that Emusan is equal to his Father?

Angels dwelling in heaven have similar spirit nature of God (not flesh and blood nature of men), does that proves angels equal to God?

But it makes sense to LYING Emusan to DISAGREE with Jesus Christ teaching at John 14:28. John 7:16 , Matthew 27:46 & revelation 3:12 that Jesus is NOT, NEVER equal his SENIOR, his God.

Ordinary human being dey force Jesus to lie.
John 14:28 & John 7:16& Revelation 3:12, Jesus Christ no GREE FOR ANY TRINITARIAN. grin grin


Emusan:


Angels don't have the same nature with God.

Emusan LYING Trinitarian grin grin grin

Emusan has the nature of his human father but he's LYING that angels can not have nature of God their father in the spirit realm. grin

I didn't disagree with Jesus rather you're the one who disagree with Jesus.

Again, Angel doesn't have the same Nature with God, the nature of God is what make Him ETERNAL and Uncreated, so to claim Angels and God have the same NATURE means Angels are also ETERNAL AND UNCREATED.

Human and animal don't have the same nature but stay together on earth.

Lastly, the fact that Jesus has the same NATURE with the Father proves that He is God and Equal to the Father.

How do I expect the lying liar jws to understand this simple fact? cheesy grin cheesy grin cheesy

Who exalted him according to the scriptures?
The father exalted him remember the Trinity comprises of the father Son and holy Spirit.

Is Jesus still humanity?
Jesus has two natures, one is his Godhood and the other is hid humanity. He remains so forever.

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
you quoted that scripture out of context, that is 1 cor 15 which was talking of Jesus humanity.

Anytime Jesus is called a man it is referring to him in the context of his humanity.

Jesus is the second Adam and must reign as a man till he has destroy death.

1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Jesus was given power and authority of reign as a man till he has destroyed death after which this authority must be subject under the father and he humanity be made subject under the father.

It does does mean Jesus would no longer reign or be king it means his divinity would superced or override his humanity but however his humanity remains. At that time the door of grace and mercy would be shut forever.

The Husband is greater than the Wife yet both husband and wife are EQUAL by Nature.

Here is KJV [b]"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"

So how does this difference from KJV I provided?

Like I said lack of simple comprehension is what is affecting you.

Again, where is Bill Mounce commentary on Phil 2:6?

Why are you afraid of providing Bill Mounce commentary here?

E get why cheesy grin cheesy

Lastly, Bill Mounce is the one who chaired the committee that translates NIV and this is how NIV puts the verse: "Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage"

You can see that you and Bill Mounce aren't on the same page but as usual you must cherry pick any Trinitarian work to suit your lie.

John 14:28, will Jesus Christ grasp the thing he said does NOT exist?
Phil 2:6 Bill Mounce Greek interlinear Bible no GREE FOR ANY TRINITARIAN.

Human are also called God but every Bible students know that human are not ETERNAL AND UNCREATED but this lying liar jws like his father the Devil must find a way to disregard God and bring Him down to the level of his father the Devil.

But you're a liar.

God is our Father doesn't mean have the same Nature as God.

Having the same nature as God means to have everything that makes God to be God.

And this is the point Phil 2:6 addressed that is why your beloved translation AMPC Bible put it this way: "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"


Emusan Very daft & over dull dim wit .

I don't edit scripture WATCHTOWER is doing that for you.
