Janosky:
Did Yahweh explain to you how Yahweh created the spiritual realm and those spirits dwelling in heaven?

Your Trinitarian godfathers at Nicene coined that term "self-existing & timeless being" to suit their man made doctrine.

Micah 5:2 Hebrew text disagrees.

Colossians 1:15 disagrees.
Revelation 3:14, Jesus disagrees.
1 Corinthians 11:12
.,.
1 Timothy 6:13 disagrees
John 5:26, Jesus Christ disagrees.
"Woman came from man, EVERYTHING (Jesus Christ NOT excepted) comes from the God".
You quote most of these verses off context!

No one is disputing that!
Jesus said "of my own self I can do nothing save whatsoever the son sees his Father do"

But the fact remains that "both existed in a timeless realm"

That's the take home!
Jesus confirmed his predation of the world!

As usual you forgot to include that!
Read the entire scriptures; don't cherrypick!

(*1)
The beginning of the procreation by man, Genesis 49:3
(*2)
The beginning of creation by God, Revelation 3:14

In context, both scriptures Revelation 3:14 & Genesis 49:3 are saying the same thing about the meaning of the word "BEGINNING".


The Hebrew word for origin (@Micah 5:2) is the same meaning of beginning @Genesis 49:3 ,@ Revelation 3:14 & @ Mark 13:19
"the beginning of creation by the God"/the beginning of creation which the God created " (same meaning ooo, but Trinitarians are TWISTING it because they don't want the Bible truth that Jesus has a beginning).
Oga, you have jumped to the conclusion to label this Bible truth as "cherry picking ","quoting off context".
Your opinion doesn't change Jesus Christ teaching that he is inferior to the God he is worshipping in the spiritual realm as well as the physical realm.

The teaching of Jesus Christ @John 14:28 & Revelation 3:12, is "off context" to Trinitarians.

Nope, we are aware of this!
It's nothing new but you lack understanding to put in place.

The son existed with the Father and the Father hath given him all things.

Before time was made he(son) existed that's why christians don't use the term "created" for Jesus.

He simply is!

That's why Jesus found it not robbery to say "I am"

And "even before Abraham I was" etc

The Bible further elucidates the relationship between the Father and the Son in several texts!

I have explained this and lots more in previous write-ups.

Sand2022:
Firstborn doesn't mean first creature, try reading verse 16. It helps show why he is called the firstborn. It gives the reason when it says "because by him are all things made".
"by him all things were created" meaning someone used him to create other things and that's understandable seeing that Jesus is the word of God and God created the world through his word. Abi?


Exodus 20 God spoke, He YHVH is God and there is none like Him nor should we have any besides Him.
Was He lying?

Secondly, seeing Jesus as a creature goes against John 1:3 which unambiguously says that "apart from him not EVEN ONE thing was made". That is totally unambiguous.
John 1:3 like I said, it still didn't call him the creator but the means by which the creator made what was made. For example I can't send you this message without a phone, network, data, technology etc. I used this to reach out, do you understand.



Jesus being used by God to create things doesn't affect his divinity. That is if you understand the subject.
so you do understand and by the way the subject here isn't the divinity of Jesus but if he is God. Of course there is only one God and then only one mediator and son, Jesus Christ.

From what you quoted on Heb 1:3, you see clearly that Jesus is the exact representation of His very BEING. the point of Trinity is exactly that, Jesus is of the same essence as God the Father. Sustaining the all things by the word of His power can only be work done by the Almighty for that would mean sustaining even all creatures, angels, humans, universe etc. A creature cannot do this.
What exactly did I write or quote, anyway I am certain I wrote and you read that Jesus is at the right hand of God and not that Jesus is God.

Saying that because Jesus did what God can do makes him God is like saying everyone from Moses to Elijah is God. Do not forget to read verse two that it is God who appointed Jesus to that very position and not Jesus himself.


I don't understand how this fit.
not surprised you do not understand the humility of Jesus



That scripture didn't say the power was given. He is already the exact representation of God's being. So He possess that power essentially.
I don't recall the said scripture, what I do know is that representing God doesn't make him God, just as representing Jesus doesn't make me Jesus

Gabrielshow24:
A lot of people miss the entire point.

And as such cannot grasp the concept of Jesus' equality to God.

Like I said earlier Jesus predates time.
Now saying that he attains the fullness of God will not be totally accurate because the term " attain" insinuates the presence of time.

Now if he predates time and from our little scientific study of black holes, we perceive anything at the event horizon as being stationary.

Hence Jesus had already been in the fullness of the Father

Now as regards Jesus being God.
Logic tells you that some certain positions come with power.
Have you not heard of those that have become presidents/Governors for a day?

In that very day, whatsoever they do in that office it's as if the Governor hath done it.

Now Jesus said all power in Heaven and on Earth have been given unto me.
Hence by Power he has the equivalent of God!
And other verses confirm likewise that his reign will be forever adding the "eternal characteristics of God to the equation"

From scriptures we see that Jesus has the seven spirits of God all pointing to the fact that he has/had attain(ed) the fullness of God!

But wisdom demands that you give honor to whom honor is due.

Mind you when you finish your tertiary institution you get a certificate to show that you have completed your study!
It doesn't matter how many finished but as soon as they are done they are called graduates!
Miss which point, you skip what God and Jesus says to write down your own logic and you fail to realise your own logic fails you. If God is above heaven and earth and everything or all power in heaven and earth is given to Jesus how does he equate to the one who is above all?

Giving honor to the governor is based on understanding he is the governor but you do then call him the president and give him presidential honor?

It's so funny how you read FIRSTBORN in Col 1:15 but in your statement it was changed to FIRST CREATION

Do you thing Paul who wrote Col 1:15 didn't know that there's a word for FIRST CREATION before he used FIRSTBORN?

If you read down to verse 18 then you will know why FIRSTBORN IS ACCURATELY used rather than FIRST CREATED.

The term firstborn is about PREEMINENCE NOT about creation.



So, JESUS IS A CREATOR.

Or didn't the verse you quoted here said Jesus was involved in CREATION?




Not entirely true.

Jesus was called God many times.



If I was given a power to become PRESIDENT, am I PRESIDENT or not?



The sun has limited power, even you have your own power.

But the point from the OP is OMNIPOTENT attributes as seen in that Heb 1:2 being used for Jesus. NO CREATURE CAN SUSTAINED THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.

One of the attributes that makes God to be God is UNLIMITED POWER - OMNIPOTENT.
You may want to seem wise but you can't when you lack knowledge. The very word Paul wrote in Col 1:15 is the greek word prototokos which means first as in eldest.

Why not go by your logic and say God had sex with his wife and gave birth to Jesus and then he created other things, or worse still, why not say God had sex with himself and got pregnant with Jesus so that it debunks the fact Jesus was created

After all babies are not created they are born 🤦🏿‍♂️

The presidency is a title anyone that holds it, holds its power.

It doesn't matter whether Jesus is the president or balablu all that matters is that whosoever that holds it, wields it power.

But God is not a composite God hence it is not because of his power that he is God neither is it by other attributes Is he God, he is just God.

The major flaw in human reasoning is that this attributes are what we believe makes up divine or Godship hence whosever that possesses such holds the same equivalent as God.

It's in that wisdom where God can hand over everything to Jesus because in the first place all things are separate from him(loosely- he that reads should use understanding 👀).

Hence your logic just corroborates my statement and your assertion proves Jesus even more as God's equal.

Hence by all the attributes that God possesses he too possesses them all.

The only difference is that the Father is the originator and the source of everything; that's why Honor is given unto whom Honor is due.

"
Exodus 20 God spoke, He YHVH is God and there is none like Him nor should we have any besides Him.
Was He lying?
Jesus is evidently the one who made that statement. But that is another topic.

I agree we are not to have another besides God, however, there are many places where Jesus is worshipped, even in his christophanic appearances in the OT. What Trinity teaching is doing is to bring a summary of whom God is so as not to ignore other scriptures that presents someone else who is worshipped. Let me give one example of what I mean.

Now, the scripture you quoted above shows we shouldn't worship another God, but notice what happened at Josh 5:14-15. Pls read it.

First, do you agree that the Prince of Jehovah's Army is Jesus? If yes, do you agree he was worshipped there? Additionally, check rev 5:8-14. Do you agree Jesus is worshipped there as Jehovah is?

So which way can you have another Deity besides Jehovah? Don't you think that seeing them as having one essence help dispel any contradictions?

John 1:3 like I said, it still didn't call him the creator but the means by which the creator made what was made. For example I can't send you this message without a phone, network, data, technology etc. I used this to reach out, do you understand
Perhaps you didn't mean to make Jesus inanimate, but the analogy seem to suggest that. What I think you mean is that Jesus was just an Agent through which God made things, as such, God is the creator and not Jesus.

I used to see it that way before, but I saw one scripture that challenged that. Let's see Heb 1:10-12

And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11 They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12 and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”

Here we see Jesus clearly praised as the creator. All creation are the work of Jesus hands.

This verse is taken from Psalm 102:25-27. A place used to praise God for his creations. Here Paul is saying that Jesus was in fact the person being praised there for creation.

Will you not agree that if Jesus was just an agent and nothing more like me and you are as we preach the goodness, he will not need to be praised for what he did as an Agent? Notice the final words;

"and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end."

This verse can only refer to God. God is the only one who is immutable. Also confirm from Heb 13:8. Only God can have that description.

What Trinity is saying is that this unique nature possess by God the Father is shared by both the Son and the Spirit. For me, this reconciles many scriptures attributing the Father's unique characteristics to others.


so you do understand and by the way the subject here isn't the divinity of Jesus but if he is God. Of course there is only one God and then only one mediator and son, Jesus Christ
At times the bible uses the word God in reference to God the Father, in some cases to the Son or the Holy Spirit. These three have God being used for them in a unique way as to the Supreme Deity. So if there were no place what is unique to God is assigned to others, I don't think we will be having this conversation now. But there are, and you have to reconcile it.


What exactly did I write or quote, anyway I am certain I wrote and you read that Jesus is at the right hand of God and not that Jesus is God.

Saying that because Jesus did what God can do makes him God is like saying everyone from Moses to Elijah is God. Do not forget to read verse two that it is God who appointed Jesus to that very position and not Jesus himself
Jesus was not appointed to be the exact FACSIMILE of His very BEING. Maybe you might need to see the force of that Greek word. This means that all the unique attribute of God is the exact same Jesus has. This is not the same as creatures have. We still see a similar phrasing at Phil 2. God's FORM. check that in Greek as well.

There is no way to escape Jesus nature as being same with God the Father. This is what the scripture says, not trinitarians.

God the Father occupies a headship role in the divine council. So almost all things are credited to Him, I think this made us think that He is the only one involved. The incarnation brought more revelation to us that in fact Jesus was sharing in all the glory given to God the Father when in heaven. (John 17:5)
Gen 1:26 gave us a hint that only one person is not involved, but it wasnt clearly revealed then.

Being at God's right hand or receiving authority from Him doesn't change his nature. It only shows that God the Father as the head is credited with assigning roles and authority. It also shows that humility rules even within the divine council. It doesn't diminish the nature. Jesus subjects to the father as well. Scholars call this functions or roles within the divine council.

Consider this, people have grieved God before and was forgiven, but if you grieve the Holy Spirit, you won't be forgiven. That doesn't mean the Spirit is greater than God the Father, but it is the role the Spirit occupies that make him have that authority.

Don't forget that the given authority is during Jesus incarnation. People do miss the fact that Jesus performed two functions, one as human for the salvation of man, and one in his Divinity. During Jesus Christophany, as we see in the Old Testament, Jesus doesn't come at that time as if he was given authority by God. He came as God intoto. Consider his appearance to Adam and his wife. Did you see Jesus then saying, God told me to tell you? He came as God. Even Jehovah's witnesses acknowledged that Jesus may have been the one appearing then.

I think Jesus Redemptive role is what people mistake and I see why many see it that way, I saw it so before.

If we read the praise given to Jehovah at Isaiah 6:1-3, we will think the person on the throne is God the father right? But John 12:41 tells us that Jesus was the one there. So don't confuse Jesus Redemptive role with his Divinity.

We will look at col 1:17

Colossians 1:17 He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together.

A creature cannot possibly do that. Heb 1:3 tells us more.

Hebrews 1:3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Notice that Jesus is here said to uphold ALL things by the word of His power. This is not just elevating all things, but the point is that Christ sustains ALL things, universe, humans, animals etc, by the word of His power. So after creating all things, He also sustains ALL things.

Also take note of the Power aspect. Such power must be the Highest form of power there is. For the power of a creature cannot possibly sustain all things.

This doesn't sound like what an ordinary creature can do. Does it?

Matt.28.18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been GIVEN to Me in heaven and on earth.


You can continue deceiving yourself but for the sake of others...


Isa.6.3 And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD(YHVH) of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!"

Rev.4.8 - The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!"

Rev.4.11 - "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created."

Rev.5.1 - And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
Rev.5.2 - Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?"
Rev.5.3 - And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

Rev.5.5 - But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."
Rev.5.6 - And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Rev.5.7 - Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.


John.12.41 - These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

Isaiah indeed spoke and revealed Jesus but you went and quoted Isaiah 6 because you believe everything Isaiah wrote is about the son abi?!

Jesus is evidently the one who made that statement. But that is another topic.

I agree we are not to have another besides God, however, there are many places where Jesus is worshipped, even in his christophanic appearances in the OT. What Trinity teaching is doing is to bring a summary of whom God is so as not to ignore other scriptures that presents someone else who is worshipped. Let me give one example of what I mean.

Now, the scripture you quoted above shows we shouldn't worship another God, but notice what happened at Josh 5:14-15. Pls read it.

First, do you agree that the Prince of Jehovah's Army is Jesus? If yes, do you agree he was worshipped there? Additionally, check rev 5:8-14. Do you agree Jesus is worshipped there as Jehovah is?

So which way can you have another Deity besides Jehovah? Don't you think that seeing them as having one essence help dispel any contradictions?



Perhaps you didn't mean to make Jesus inanimate, but the analogy seem to suggest that. What I think you mean is that Jesus was just an Agent through which God made things, as such, God is the creator and not Jesus.

I used to see it that way before, but I saw one scripture that challenged that. Let's see Heb 1:10-12

And: “At the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands. 11 They will perish, but you will remain; and just like a garment, they will all wear out, 12 and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end.”

Here we see Jesus clearly praised as the creator. All creation are the work of Jesus hands.

This verse is taken from Psalm 102:25-27. A place used to praise God for his creations. Here Paul is saying that Jesus was in fact the person being praised there for creation.

Will you not agree that if Jesus was just an agent and nothing more like me and you are as we preach the goodness, he will not need to be praised for what he did as an Agent? Notice the final words;

"and you will wrap them up just as a cloak, as a garment, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will never come to an end."

This verse can only refer to God. God is the only one who is immutable. Also confirm from Heb 13:8. Only God can have that description.

What Trinity is saying is that this unique nature possess by God the Father is shared by both the Son and the Spirit. For me, this reconciles many scriptures attributing the Father's unique characteristics to others.




At times the bible uses the word God in reference to God the Father, in some cases to the Son or the Holy Spirit. These three have God being used for them in a unique way as to the Supreme Deity. So if there were no place what is unique to God is assigned to others, I don't think we will be having this conversation now. But there are, and you have to reconcile it.




Jesus was not appointed to be the exact FACSIMILE of His very BEING. Maybe you might need to see the force of that Greek word. This means that all the unique attribute of God is the exact same Jesus has. This is not the same as creatures have. We still see a similar phrasing at Phil 2. God's FORM. check that in Greek as well.

There is no way to escape Jesus nature as being same with God the Father. This is what the scripture says, not trinitarians.

God the Father occupies a headship role in the divine council. So almost all things are credited to Him, I think this made us think that He is the only one involved. The incarnation brought more revelation to us that in fact Jesus was sharing in all the glory given to God the Father when in heaven. (John 17:5)
Gen 1:26 gave us a hint that only one person is not involved, but it wasnt clearly revealed then.

Being at God's right hand or receiving authority from Him doesn't change his nature. It only shows that God the Father as the head is credited with assigning roles and authority. It also shows that humility rules even within the divine council. It doesn't diminish the nature. Jesus subjects to the father as well. Scholars call this functions or roles within the divine council.

Consider this, people have grieved God before and was forgiven, but if you grieve the Holy Spirit, you won't be forgiven. That doesn't mean the Spirit is greater than God the Father, but it is the role the Spirit occupies that make him have that authority.
Ps.2.11 - Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Ps.2.12 - Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

NLT puts verse 12
Ps.2.12 Submit to God's royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of your pursuits--for his anger can flare up in an instant. But what joy for all who find protection in him! (NLT)

Even God himself said, listen to my son, obey him.

God put everything under his feet.

When you bow to your king or knee to your father as a form of honor and submission do you realise that worship in Hebrew meant to knee, to bow.

Every honor we receive we give to God, even Jesus said worship the Father did he not? If He was the Father and said such would He not be an author of confusion? And not the author of faith!

You said Jesus was evidently the one who made the statement in Exodus 20 but then you quoted Joshua 5:14-15 to claim the same speaker is Jesus, is he then confused as to who he is? No it is those who reject the truth that are confused.

You write, "What Trinity teaching is doing is to bring a summary of whom God is..." But this isn't true, what trinity teaching has done is to corrupt what John wrote when he mentioned three witnesses in heaven, not three Gods.

To you question, "If yes, do you agree he was worshipped there?" Yes he was
But to your question,"Do you agree Jesus is worshipped there as Jehovah is?" I say NO, Jehovah was honoured and Jesus was honored

In no where in Revelation 5:8-14 was the Lamb referred to as Jehovah through out the honor given to him, Jehovah was honoured, Jesus was honored. Rev.5.13 - Everyone said: "Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!"

So which way can you have another Deity besides Jehovah?
Jesus WAS NEVER WORSHIPPED AS GOD, but as the son of God. Even Princes are honoured because of their Father, but never as their father, it is rebellion for a prince to be called a king while his father is king but it's different because the Father is God and the Son is king. And God is higher than the king.

Don't you think that seeing them as having one essence help dispel any contradictions? Having one essence doesn't mean being the same person, having the essence of holiness makes one of the same family being one doesn't mean being equal it just means being united.

"What I think you mean is that Jesus was just an Agent through which God made things, as such, God is the creator and not Jesus.." Yes that is what I mean and that's why John said the word became flesh and dwelt among us and not that God become flesh and dwelt among us. God is creator and Jesus is the means.

Let's look at and read Hebrews 1:10-12
Isaiah 51:13 Isaiah calls Jehovah the creator maker, who stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth.

Hebrews 1:13, But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"?

Who is the He, Hebrews is referring to? The He who is LORD the maker of heaven and earth, who doesn't perish but remains the same.

You say it is taken from Psalm 102, let's read it
Ps.102.22 When the peoples are gathered together, And the kingdoms, to serve the LORD (Jehovah)
Ps.102.24 I said, "O my God, Do not take me away in the midst of my days; Your years are throughout all generations.
Ps.102.25 Of old You laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

In the beginning You? Who? JEHOVAH GOD. When then do you see with your understanding something else?


Yet you wrote, "Paul is saying that Jesus was in fact the person being praised there for creation." But Paul never wrote such a thing.

Even though you agree these verses can only be referred to God you incorrectly assume the new testament authors makes it a reference to Jesus.
You write that only God can have such a description but you confuse yourself by stating that you believe the trinity which suggests that because the son and spirit share the nature of God, they share this unique nature which belongs solely to God. So the Father who is creator is just one of the creators and not that he sent forth his spirit and his word..

For you, this reconciles many scriptures attributing the Father's unique characteristics to others. Are you sure it does?
How do you reconcile that God who doesn't lie said He will send his son but then He comes Himself and pretends to be a man and then prays to Himself and then dies and resurrects telling Mary wait I want to go and show me to myself before I see the rest of you.

No, the issue you can be reconciled with is how God can highly elate a man who was born like you but without sin to a position right beside him if that man original isn't God. Therefore how then can you believe what Jesus said that just as he is we will be, with God or do you then understand it that we will become almighty God worshipping ourselves.

How do you reconcile the scripture with your understanding?

Why don't you tell us where the spirit of God was called God and not the spirit of God, don't assume that "At times the bible uses the word God in reference to God the Father, in some cases to the Son or the Holy Spirit." And continue in your error because you want to believe it.

This is what I said that you quoted, "so you do understand and by the way the subject here isn't the divinity of Jesus but if he is God. Of course there is only one God and then only one mediator and son, Jesus Christ" yet what you wrote doesn't contradict what i have written but shows your stubborn refusal to accept the truth that Jesus is the son of God.

"You say Jesus was not appointed to be the exact FACSIMILE of God"
Facsimile being copy of God, what is the force of greek you speak of, when I am speaking about the truth of God. Philippians 2:6 speaks of God's form, as to refer to God's nature the same nature we as children of God are to have. The nature that came by the Holy Spirit and the power of the Most High God. Does that make Jesus God?

There is no argument from me that Jesus has the same nature with God, for Jesus is Holy

But if the Father is Holy, the son is Holy, the spirit is Holy and the saints are Holy why is it trinity and not quadranity if equality on identity is based on one's nature, shouldn't they all be equal according to your logic which attempts to deny my reprove to you who said based on what Jesus did and i asked you does that make Elijah and Moses God as well?!


"God the Father occupies a headship role in the divine council." What divine council, did the 24 elders help God to create anything or anybody?
And here you say, "So almost all things are credited to Him, I think this made us think that He is the only one involved." Sorry not say you accuse God, like that servant who buried his talent, that He takes credit from what others have done,
So God the Father to you is a thief taking credit from work he didn't do, seeing as he collects glory from others abi? Of course even the devil the representative of evil must have helped shaped our world but all credit must go to God instead abi?

Do you see the result of this deception, you fail to acknowledge who God is so you bring doubt to his credibility in accepting glory and credit due him, "make us think he is the only one involved"

At first he lied and now he is a thief are you sure the God you worship isn't satan and not the Father?

"The incarnation brought more revelation to us that in fact Jesus was sharing in all the glory given to God the Father when in heaven."
Like Job asked whose spirit is speaking to you and through you? If he was sharing the Father's glory does that make him God? Does your son not share in the things you own, do we not have hope to receive glory from God, whose glory would we share when we resurrect?

John.17.5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. (NIV)

If Jesus was God the Father would he make sure a request to He who is higher than Him. The One who gave him the glory would restore it in greater measure for Jesus received a name above every other name. Would it have been a reward if he was God or if he has such a name to begin with?

Gen 1:26 God said let us, do you know who he was speaking to?
Then you would understand why in Gen 1:27 God created man not in "our image" but in His "own image" do you understand the mystery and revelation as to divide the difference between our image and his image so as to relate it with what happens in Genesis 2?

So why assume that the "our" refers to other gods beside God?

I don't know what you think you know of whatever divine council you speak of or was taught to you, but it is wise to grow first with what God reveals...

How do I begin to tell you that grieving the Holy Spirit is different from blamsphemy and that the Lord holding a person guilty and punishing them doesn't mean they are beyond forgiveness even for blamsphemy and using his name in vain. Or did you think Jesus was the first to reveal that speaking against the Spirit of God will bring divine punishment? But a last it is better to be punished on earth than to perish in hell, so even if the name of the LORD whom the Spirit carries is be holy and not associated with evil nor vain things, men will be punished but not condemned but will be condemned it they repent not.

If you understand you won't wonder if the Spirit is higher or has a different authority different from the Father whereas the Holy Spirit is the authority from the Father just as His word is powerful.


It is because the Holy Spirit is God's authority that claiming deliverance done through that authority is done by demons is blamsphemy. Do you understand?
