Michael547:
So if The father is now living in the inside Jesus and the two of them are equal now, explain Acts 7:56.
There is only one throne of God in heaven and Jesus is sitting there

Right hand is different from right hand side

If "the Father is now living in the inside Jesus" means that God the Father's presence is fully embodied in Jesus Christ, then Acts 7:56

signifies that when Stephen sees "the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God," he is seeing Jesus, who is the complete representation of God the Father,

in heaven, ready to receive Stephen's spirit as a martyr; essentially, seeing Jesus is like seeing the Father himself due to their complete unity.

🤣🤣🤣🤣....what is the difference between right hand and right hand side?

So is God the Father too sitting at the right hand of God?

Where does the Bible teach that the Father Is living inside Jesus?

For all eternity any where you see Jesus you have seen father that why asking to see the father is useless because he is in Jesus

John 14:9 ►

Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

New Living Translation
Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?

Do you know what it means to have the totality of the father to live inside Jesus

For God the father was pleased to have all his fullness dwell inside Jesus....

Tell us the difference between right hand side and right hand.

Is the Father sitting at the right hand of God too?

Explain Ephesians 4:13....are we also going to be the greatest and equal to Christ When we have the fullness of Christ?

Right hand means highest position.

Right hand side
means another God next to the father which is not what Bible ever preaches




the key difference lies in the emphasis on position versus power and authority; "right hand side" simply refers to the physical location on the right,

while

"right hand" is often used metaphorically to signify a place of honor, highest position, strength, and divine favor, usually associated with God's power to act on someone's behalf.

That is why some translations use high position rather than right hand

Psalm 110:1


GOD'S WORD® Translation
[A psalm by David.] The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit in the highest position in heaven until I make your enemies your footstool."

And the holy Spirit
Have ability to be every where at the same time

Saying lies here will not change the truth
And the truth is....

Yea..you got it... Jesus is a myth.

His mother is Inanna(Lucifer) so Jesus is probably Dimuzi. But the stories in the gospel comes from ancient tales about Marduk..

Wrong
Read the whole Psalm and stop taking text out of context..
You will understand better...

Then come back here and tell me who the Psalm is talking about...

There are two possibilities to every thing in this world


(1)
Let say you are correct then since Jesus is a myth I really have nothing to lose
Because I will have no punishment from believing in a myth


Then the next

(2)
Let say that am the one that is correct then your punishment will be what is written down in the bible

So among the two of us who do you think is in a better position to succeed at the end of the ages

Janosky:
Oga,is John 17:21-23 in your Bible?

Did Jesus teach you in John 17:21-23 that the Father, the disciples and Jesus are One?
Yes.


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.
When your son brings your letter to me, I have seen you when I see him.




Soul is not inside man.

Not in any Bible, not in your Bible.
grin
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...

Since you have no answer to my question

Your own answer I have said it many times....
Let me say it' again

The word of God is called Jesus and the word is living inside the father
So any time the father speaks it Jesus that comes out from his mouth to act What God says

So Jesus was living in the father the Father spirit that lives inside the father is called the holy Spirit

Then the father sent his son that was living inside him to go and save the world

After the son finished his mission
The father then decided to live inside the son
The same way that the son was living inside him before

That's why Bible now said
Jesus is the Express image of the father

So any time you now see Jesus it's the father that is living inside Jesus that you are seeing

I know you will not read this things
