So are you saying that Jesus was both the Father and Yahweh?

That place is showing Jesus and the father are one just like your soul and your body is one

I don't think you even read it properly do you even read bible or you only think what your teachers says

This Psalm was written by David and given to the choir master or conductor to sing during services..
So the true rendering of the Psalm is
The Lord(The most high) said to my master(David).......l
The other part of the Psalm confirms it is talking about David....not some imaginary person...

Wrong

Until you people realize that Jesus is a Roman /Greek invention, you will keep arguing. That is why the Catholics who invented the idea called it a mystery. And they said anybody who does not believe, let him be anathema(as good as Dead)
When the Tanakh clearly said that God is one...They even made the devil a dual opposite of God....what insult. And you want me to be part of it after finding out the truth...

Saying lies here will not change the truth

You can only understand this mystery when you understand yourself

Stop thinking about higher level when you refuse to look at yourself

First
Look at your self

Your soul is not your body or your spirit

But your soul is you and you are a man

That the same way

God almighty is

The father is not the Son or the holy spirit

But the father is God almighty the Son is God almighty the holy spirit is God almighty

Glory

God is both greeter and the greatest

He God is both the one who sent and also the one who is sent

God is both almighty and Also a servant

God is both head and tail

God is both beggining and end

God is both first and last

God is both all in one

God is both infinity and zero

God is both a and z

God is both a teacher and a learner

That's is What
Jesus is

No Sir.
Because @ John 14:24 Jesus explained it .
Jesus Christ is the Messenger speaking his Father's words.
Compare Psalms 103:20 & John 14:24, John 7:16 you will get the sense of what Jesus explained.

I am sure you know that the Godhead is not restricted to the Trinitarian limit, so with that said, please for the moment, put on one side your new found love of Catholic New Jerusalem Bible at Psalms 45:6 & Hebrews 1:8, and now to the best of your understanding and considerable knowledge, dignify me please the sum of what God and/or god means in the context of Hebrews 1:8-9? (i.e. leave no stone unturned)

Thank you in advance for your humble, honest, mature and sincere answer

_{Personal text: Jesus is not a theologian. He is God who told stories.}

Hebrews 1:8 is a copy of the old testament Psalm 45:6-7
"Your throne is from God"/ Your throne is given of God "
Screenshot evidences.

Oga, can you now understand that your rendition of Hebrew 1:8 is against the holy scriptures of Psalm 45:7 Hebrew text?

Hebrew 1:9 is self explanatory, that Jesus has his God..
Hebrew 1:9 = John 20:17.
Jesus Christ is a worshipper.
God his Father is NOT a worshipper.

Soul is not inside man.

Not in any Bible, not in your Bible.

The Bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 that we were all created with three parts—a spirit, a soul, and a body:

“And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your
spirit and
soul and
body
be preserved complete, without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The human soul is created by God
(Jeremiah 38:16).

Jeremiah 38:16 (ESV)
16 Then King Zedekiah swore secretly to Jeremiah, "As the Lord lives, who made our souls, I will not put you to death or deliver you into the hand of these men who seek your life."

The soul also
It can be strong or unsteady (2 Peter 2:14);

it can be lost or saved (James 1:21; Ezekiel 18:4).

We know that the human soul needs atonement (Leviticus 17:11)

and is the part of us that is purified and protected by the truth and the work of the Holy Spirit (1 Peter 1:22).

Jesus is the great Shepherd of souls
(1 Peter 2:25).

Matthew 11:29 tells us that we can turn to Jesus Christ to find rest for our souls.

Psalm 16:9-10 is a Messianic psalm that allows us to see that Jesus also had a soul.
David wrote, “Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.”

This cannot be speaking of David (as Paul points out in Acts 13:35-37) because David’s body did see corruption and decay when he died. But Jesus Christ’s body never saw corruption...
(He was resurrected), and His soul was not abandoned to Sheol. Jesus, as the Son of Man, has a soul....

I know you will not read this things properly

Because you block your heart from knowing who Jesus is

That why you can't see it...

Glory

Jesus came from inside the father and did what the father sent him
Then the father showed he is so happy with Jesus that he decided to live inside Jesus

Just the same way Jesus was living inside the father before he was sent

Is Jesus greater than the Father now?
