MaxInDHouse:
Exactly and Jesus is a god just like all other gods it's the erroneous interpretation of those translators that made them use the same upper case for both the son and his father whereas the father has many sons!

What am saying and truth is that anyone that calls Jesus "God" is right or correct because of the obvious reasons listed above ( by OP ) and backed by the Holy scripture ( holy Bible )

MaxInDHouse:
There's no difference!
It's Bible translators that uses upper and lower cases but out there Jupiter, Zeus, Hermes, Krishna, Ọbalúayé and many others are referred to by their worshipers as GOD.

So don't be fooled by the works of translation!

Well you said out there but in here God represent All powerful ( He brought all things that ever existed anywhere into existence) while god is the byproduct of the former.

MaxInDHouse:
So Jesus is NOT the only Son of God who is also a God!

I believe you know the difference between God and god.

MaxInDHouse:
Thank you, just as all sons of God {Genesis 6:2; Job 38:7} are Gods! Psalms 82:6

Psalms 82:6
I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the most High

MikeMicheal:
As sons of God, we all are God then.
So, nothing special about Jesus.

The first child ever born and the last ever to be birthed in this world, that a woman would birth without his fathers sperm in his mothers womb is jesus Christ.

With all humility I ask if your own birth is more special than that?

Good morning

Good morning

The male cub of a LION will NEVER grow up to become a donkey. Never!! When a PRINCE shows up at an event with all his father's support and authority to represent him, NO ONE at the event would dare disrespect or deny such PRINCE the respect or recognition they would Accord his father "the KING."God, the creator of heaven and Earth, rules over all that he creates. He gives out his orders and no one anywhere can reverse them.

Isaiah 14:27

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies has spoken— who can change his plans? When his hand is raised, who can stop him?”

He gave his order that the sun and the moon should keep shining out their lights till the end of time. Who has been able to reverse this order by God given to the moon and the sun?

When God chooses to bless or reward his people, who can curse them? Or vice versa? God's authority can never be challenged by anything or anyone? It pleased God to favour Joseph to become the prime minister of Egypt even though he had no credentials to occupy the position. Yet no one could challenge him.

It pleased him (God ) to declare Abraham his friend. It doesn't matter the opinion or questions of people ( like does God need a friend? ) about his declaration, Abraham still remains a friend to God.

Isaiah 41:8
“ But you, Israel, are My servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
The descendants of Abraham, My friend.

James 2:23
And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.'And he was called the friend of God.

When God speaks, people's logical questions or opinions systematically become outdated. Questions like " does God need a friend to be happy?" "How can Abraham be God's friend when he has not seen God?" do not, in anyway, concern or compare with God's knowledge, because what he ( God ) can not do does not exist. No human logical thinking can be compared with that of God. Never!! If God says you are blind, just know that indeed you are blind irrespective of tones of images your eyes see physically every day .

Isaiah 55:8-11

8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.[/b]

Now in the same light, this same God was pleased to reward and declare JESUS his beloved SON. Now know this and have peace that irrespective of logical questions people may ask no one can reverse it. Hear this, if God can declare human being ( an ordinary flesh ) his people in Hosea 2:23, is it Jesus Christ whose birthday ( his mother got pregnant without her husbands sperm in her ) and death ( came back to live after practically dying for 3 day) are mysteriously strange ( the first and the last of it kind combined the world would ever withness till end of time ) that God can't declare his BELOVED SON?

Here in the verse, Jesus is declared by God to be his Son.

Mark 1:11, NIV: And a voice came from heaven: 'You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.

Mark 9:7, ESV: And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.”

Just like how a king would relinquish power to his loyal prince so also has God ( his father ) given him ( Jesus Christ the prince ) extra ordinary power to rule over all that he ( God the Father ) has created both on Earth and in heaven.


Ephesians 1:21-22
Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world, but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.[/b]

Also, God his father ( the king ) has given him ( Jesus Christ the prince) power to be the [b]medium or platform [/b]through which people can get to heaven to live with God his father for ever.


John14:6
Jesus told him ' I am the way-
Yes, and the truth and life. No one can GET to the father (GOD the king)
except by means of me ( JESUS Christ the prince ).

John14:1
Let not your heart be troubled. You have trust in God ( the king ) now trust in me ( JESUS Christ the prince ).


John15:23
Anyone that hates me ( JESUS the prince ) hates my father (GOD the king)



NOTE! NOTE! NOTE!
WHEN YOU SEE THE PRINCE YOU HAVE SEEN THE KING!!

Corrections:
Depression is not domiciled in some races, country, tribe or continent but rather it's a global thing. Depression does not know the rich nor the poor, it does not know the beautiful nor the ugly rather it overwhelmes those who can't resist it's forces.

The forces( reasons ) of depression varies from one person to another. However, it can be summarized that forces of depression come when we either being added to or subtracted from.

To some depression set in when they ( human ) are being added to with something e.g when one engages in new bad habits that he or she is not proud of. The new negative habit is the burden of depression ( helplessness ) upon his life. On the other side, some experience depression ( helplessness ) when something is being subtracted from them. Take for example, when some lose their loved ones they come depressed ( helpless or hopeless ).

WHAT TO DO WHEN DEPRESSED ( HELPLESS OR HOPELESS ) ?

* Genuinely Confess and repent of your sin and follow God as at the time of depression. This Will help draw God to your side to help you incase it came as a result of sin.

* Begin to proclaim the good promises of God to you from his words. Focus on these good promises of God for you.WHY?

Proverbs 4:23
Be careful how you think, your life is shaped by your thoughts.

Hebrew 4:12
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
