Truvelisback:So are you saying that only the son has a name? Is father a name, if my child calls me father, is he calling me the name of the Almighty God? |
| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by Truvelisback(m): 11:20am On Dec 03, 2024 |

| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by Michael547(m): 11:48am On Dec 03, 2024 |
NNTR:My daddy is called son because someone gave birth to him. Did someone give birth to Jesus? Is the person that gave birth to Jesus also called a son? |
| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by NNTR: 11:51am On Dec 03, 2024 |

| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by NNTR: 12:31pm On Dec 03, 2024 |
Michael547:You arent asked to know, you simply are asked about what you understand the word(s), God and/or god means Example Philippians 3:19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories. |

Michael547:Michael547 beloved, I careless of screenshot, sign posts and whatnot, all I expect from you simply is state in your own words, all you understand what the word(s), God and/or god means. In the absence of you being original (i.e. I am not after other people's idea, thought or mind but yours), then this will be my last interacting post with you Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories. |

NNTR:Are you ignorant of Strong's concordance, And you claim to be a student of the bible? Don't you know that the bible was Originally written in Hebrew Aramaic and Greek? Or do you have your own definition of what the Greek word 'theos' mean? I have answered your question. Now answer mine. Who is the God in Hebrews 1:9, and who is the God anointing? |

Janosky:You can deflect all you can Jesus already told you how to do church activities Baptise them in the name of the Father Son Holy Spirit |
| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by Kingsnairaland(op): 3:00am On Dec 04, 2024 |
Janosky:Jesus acknowledge he is both teacher, servant and the lord And Bible proved it |
| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by Kingsnairaland(op): 3:03am On Dec 04, 2024 |
Janosky:I believe you have seen the holy spirit speaking in the bible |

Michael547:Psalm 110:1, David says, “The LORD says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool’” (ESV). In Matthew 22:44, Jesus quotes this verse in a discussion with the Pharisees in order to prove that the Messiah is more than David’s son; He is David’s Lord. The clause the LORD says to my Lord contains two different Hebrew words for “lord” in the original. The first word is Yahweh, the Hebrew covenant name for God. The second is adoni, meaning “lord” or “master.” So, in Psalm 110:1, David writes this: “Yahweh says to my Adoni. . . .” To better understand Jesus’ use of Psalm 110:1, we’ll look at the identity of each “Lord” separately. The first “Lord” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the eternal God of the universe, the Great I AM who revealed Himself to Moses in Exodus 3. This self-existent, omnipotent God speaks in Psalm 110 to someone else who is also David’s “Lord.” The second “Lord” in “the LORD says to my Lord” is the Messiah, or the Christ. Psalm 110 describes this second “Lord” |

Michael547:It makes him one in all and all in one Jesus is the key Look at the Bible telling you The greatest is one who humbles himself So Jesus is the greatest he is God almighty |

Michael547:You can't see all God secret in one place Look below it shows the soul can be returned It can be restored it has it own personality it what makes the man complete The soul it like a software to the body it can be restored and reprogrammed it location is in your head While the spirit location is in your heart in the blood Matthew 16-26? ESV For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? Psalm 23:3-4 KJV He restoreth my soul Another word for the soul is mind or thought process The soul is also the mind God shows here how the soul has it own personality by showing it can depart from your body Genesis 35:18 English Standard Version And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin. King James Bible And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. So time will come when God will give everyone a new body called spiritual body then your soul and spirit will return to that new body And your destination to eternity will be made by if you accepted or believed in Jesus while you were alive in your physical first body Glory |

Michael547:With TRINITY and GODHEAD in the minds of trinitarians this matter can never be resolved though both TRINITY and GODHEAD are terms not found anywhere in the Bible! ![]() |

Kingsnairaland:Alright Oga...... below is Genesis 35:18 in another translation. Below is Ezekiel 18:4, 20 in king James translation. Do you believe that the soul dies according to those verses? According to Genesis 2:7 that I quoted earlier, does that verse not tell you that man with his flesh is the one that is referred to as a living soul?

| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by Michael547(m): 9:25am On Dec 04, 2024 |
Kingsnairaland:Oga according to John 14:28, did Jesus tell you that he was equal or greater to the father? Yes or no? |
| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by Michael547(m): 9:28am On Dec 04, 2024 |
Kingsnairaland:Ok good explanation.....If you agree that the first Lord is Yahweh and the second lord is Christ, below is Psalms 83:18, is there any other lord that is equal to Yahweh according to that verse?

Michael547:Yes He does. And remember "Jesus Christ" is The Name His Son bore when He came visiting the earth as a man which as you see was given prior to His Visitation. And Genesis and Revelations show His Name is The LORD! But the nearest Names to His Father's Name is God as seen in Genesis, The Father, The Highest, The Most High andI The King Who Sitteth on the Throne. These are the several Names identifying His Father! |
| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by Michael547(m): 1:44pm On Dec 04, 2024 |
Dtruthspeaker:So if the Father is called 'God in heaven, what is the Son called in heaven? Why is one called a 'Father' and the other called 'Son' in heaven since they are both equal? |
| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by Dtruthspeaker: 3:02pm On Dec 04, 2024 |
Michael547:Did you not see His Name,. is The LORD? You saw me condemn the trinity/anti trinity argument, so why bring me into it? If you cannot understand that as Tinubu is a man and his son is a man like him, and they work very very closely and hand in hand then therefore, they are the the same and equal, for if Seyi tells you a thing, his father, will back him up, then be free to think whatever you want. |
| Re: What Did Jesus Mean When He Said, "My Father Is Greater Than I"? by Michael547(m): 3:21pm On Dec 04, 2024 |
Dtruthspeaker:So you mean that seyi and his father existed the same time? Are they of the same age? |
