Bidam: Now let us look at the phrase “sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” . Who is Jesus sitting next to here? How can one sit next to “Majesty on high”?


Mark 14:62
62 And Jesus said, I AM: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.


How can one sit next to “the right hand of power”? The fact is Jesus sat down forever as God with all power and authority. Remember, it is not about location or position.




Isa 66:1
66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?


If God is omnipresent how then can you sit down on His right side? If God is a Spirit how then can one sit down on the right side of Him? If it possible to sit on the right side of God as a position then we must say that God is not everywhere but that He is limited to space, that He is confined to a certain amount of height and depth. Is God limited to a certain amount of height and depth? I say not!


Because God is an omnipresent Spirit He does not “sit” as we do on a physical throne. The Heaven is His throne. In other words in the universe He sits and reigns, there is no place where He isn’t.

Jesus Christ sat down with all power as Almighty God on the throne by Himself.



The term “sat down” leads us to more understanding of these passages. In understanding the sacrificing of the priests they were not allowed at any time to sit in the Holy place where the sacrificing was done. There was no place to sit. The reason for this is that their sacrificing was never finished. The sins of the people were only pushed ahead another year. When Jesus became our final sacrifice, He at the same time being the high priest, forever sat down as God ending all sacrifices!

So we see the subject is not about how many are sitting on the throne of God but about Jesus sitting down as the almighty God after the final sacrifice!

The term “the almighty” is used 44 times in the Bible. The last verse referring to the almighty is Jesus claiming to be the almighty. How many almighties do we have? Only one and He Jesus, sits on the throne alone!



Rev 1:8
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.


Luke 11:20
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.



The term “ the finger of God” can be taken literally but again God wants us to understand His great power and authority. Do you think Jesus reached into people’s lives and literally pluck out demons with His finger? A more clear understanding is that God doesn’t even need a whole hand to cast out demons. In a figurative way of speaking God only needs a finger to cast out the devil! The devil is no match for God!

i.chuka:
He emptied Himself of His divinity and took the Very nature of a SERVANT,BEING MADE IN HUMAN LIKENESS......Philphn2:7.
Then APPEARED AS A MAN..verse8.
Since He's now a MAN...1.Yes,He can die..2.Yes,He can be tempted,and because He took the very nature of a SERVANT,YES His Master/His Divinity He left in Heaven is greater than He is.
4.His Divinity in Heaven is still incharge.

obadiah777: OK I MAY HAVE SPPOKEN TOO SOON BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SLAP SOME SENSE INTO YOU J12. SO WHAT IS YOUR POSITION AGAIN. ARE YOU SAYING THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD IS PLAGIARIZED FROM THE HEBREWS AND IS NOT AN ORIGINAL WORK OR ARE YOU ACTUALLY AGREEING THAT THE BIBLE WAS COPIED FROM THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD ? STATE YOUR POSITION CLEARLY

Goshen360: Me think if it doesn't have any scriptural backing, then it's a personal issue. it's not a pre-requisite for receiving answers to prayers.

Joagbaje: When i was a child i was told to close my eyes in prayers .or else angels will poke finger into my eyes. Is it scriptural to close eyes in prayer? What is the origin?

i.chuka:
So your Yahweh has a son,was He created/born?
2.you also said they are two different persons,are you insinuating you guys have 2gods?

Boomark: I wanted to ask him if God himself who was made manifest in flesh is still the same person who is sitting at the right hand of God himself.

Bidam: Now back to topic: i am not the originator of this thread and i will not attempt to address the various teachings of the so called "Christian" groups (actually cults) who deny the deity of Jesus Christ. All I know, or anyone knows about God comes from His word the Bible. All the teachings, that teach that Jesus Christ is not God, can be all lumped into one group and labeled "the vain speculations of men." Only God Himself can tell us who He is and He has chosen to reveal this truth about Himself in the Bible. There is no other place to go, but to God Himself. Thus, I will let God speak for himself from the Scriptures.


Lets first look at I Tim. 3:16, " And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. "

1. "Without controversy." This means simply "obviously" or "beyond all question."


2. "The mystery of Godliness is great." This denotes the importance and magnitude of this now revealed mystery or truth.


3. The mystery is "God is manifest in the flesh!" This is as straight forward as can be made on the matter. This verse says that God is manifested in the flesh. The Greek word is "phneroo" meaning, "to make visible."


4. Jesus was "Justified in the Spirit." Note it was not the flesh that justified, but the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ was thus vindicated in the Spirit at His resurrection.


5. Jesus was "Seen of Angels." Angels are spirits, and they saw Christ as spirit.


6. Jesus was "preached among the Gentiles." This denotes the scope of His ministry that He came to save all nations. He was more than the Jewish Messiah, but the Savior of the world.


7. Jesus was "believed on in the world." He being proven to be the Redeemer, He was believed on and accepted as Savior by those who seek after God.


8. Jesus was "Received up into glory." Today Christ is at the right hand of God, making intercession for those who by faith are trusting in Him.


9. This verse is believed to have been a early Christian hymn and could be sung today:


"He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit; was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world; was taken up in glory. "

Bidam: ...na you sAbi...mrs bible..na you no bible pass..IF JESUS THAT TOOK THE FORM OF A MAN, A SERVANT DECIDE TO TAKE THE FORM OF AN ANGEL...IS THAT TOO MUCH A THING FOR YOU TO COMPREHEND? DATS MY PROBLEM WITH BABIES

Bidam: wordly babylonian concept of a servant.that is truth mixed with error..in christainity..the mark of a true leadership is service..read john 13 :8..even God serves us with Air and rain..does dat makes him inferior? Jesus as a diety served his disciples does dat makes him inferior..look at it in dat light..

cyrexx: Logicboy,

he is the most humble servant of the true living triune God of Logic, Science and Reason, this God has solved many of mankind's problem as contrasted with popular religionist's Gods (yahweh and allah) who didnt care for mankind's suffering but in whose names mankind has fought countless wars and hated/killed fellow men.

Bidam: laff wan kill me o..so "ijawkid"(wateva dat is) u re lurking somewhere behind a computer waiting for my post.lol.. Sori i had to go for a lecture(PG prog)..ayam back..now back to topic: i have quoted relevant scriptures to show the equality of Jesus with God..yet you keep on vomiting bile against a christian broda..see me see wahala!! The OT u quote was to fufill the prophecy of Isaiah..Jesus had not died and gone to d cross..so he took the "position" of a servant and became obedient unto death..dat was not His nature...It WAS A POSITION..the Acts u quoted: remember peter was addressing a 'jewish' audience..so he had to quote their torah according to their laws at that time to show them that Jesus is actually the messiah..don't forget it was the same peter that revealed Christ as the Son(not servant) of the Living God.(mat 16:16).

Bidam: that is my problem with babes..give dem meat they start crying for milk..anywayz ok agreed Jesus was a servant..re u satisfied?

Bidam: the context of mathew 12..was the fufillment of the prophecy of isaiah(isaiah 42:1-4)..infact Jesus was still under the law becos he is still yet to be crucified..most scholars even view the book of mathew as OT under the law..like i said He took a 'Temporary' position of a servant..isaiah even prophesied him as a "LAMB"(Is 53:7) .right now He will Judge the living and the dead( 2 tim4:1 )

i.chuka:
He came to serve..Philphn2:7,though He is very God..Philphn2:6.
His purpose here on earth was to serve,even as the fullness of God dwelleth in Him bodily,He only came as a Servant.

Bidam: funny u should quote a line of verse for an argument..ok lemme use the aramaic translation for a better understanding heb 2:9 "But we see that he is Yeshua, who became a little lower than the angels for the suffering of his death, and glory and honor are placed upon his head, For God himself by his grace, tasted death in the place of every person" .
Explanation: He became man or He was born under the law..in hierachy man was under the angels(becos all have sinned including adam(roman 5:12)..Jesus took human flesh, it was by POSITION and not by nature.He took a temporary position as a servant(dats why i pity those like ijawkid who still think of him as a servant right now..smh!). That He might taste death for everyone to reedem them(romans 5:6-..the object of the apostle here is to show that He was 'exalted' and in order to show this he took us back to Jesus "temporal position"...also read phil 2: 8-9 to show the reason why He was exalted and given a Name far above every name.

Joagbaje: As much as I see tattoo as not decent . It's a matter of choice what decoration you put on your body .The bible is not against tattoo. God is not against tattoo. Do don't feel condemn by nothing.

Bidam: ayam not evading any scriptures..you are the one not getting it..He came in the likeness of men thru the virgin birth..so wat do you expect from Him than to serve..look @ phil 2:6.." Who, being in THE VERY NATURE GOD,did not consider EQUALITY with God something to be grasped(that means he set a pattern for humility here and dats why He calls Himself servant cos He came for service...did u get it! You guys are even the ones evading philipians 2:6 see me see wahala!!!

Cos witout the name Jesus, forget assesing Jehovah..that was why i.chuka said without Jesus your jehovah is 'nothing' and he is right u know.. Don't read your bible like a newspaper.
