Philippians 2:5&6
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

John 14:28 , "my Father is greater than I am".
John 20:17 my Father and our God.
and Revelation 3:5, I will confess to my Father"
Jesus Christ says himself is not equal to God, his Father whether in heaven or earth.

Bros, believe the statement of Jesus and shun that fraudulent twisting of Philippians 2:6.

Just imagine... You claim to follow Jesus but you're trying so hard to disprove Jesus Christ..

We are all used to you JWs, Janosky, DappaD, and co. When you cannot override the truth of the bible, you start looking for how to psychologically manipulate those that do and start trying to create division.
FYI, Csonice1, solite3, bloodofthelamb, Emusan and the rest of us all agree that the bible makes the Father, Word and Spirit, One and coequals. Our english may communicate it differently because it's an imperfect language. None of us can even boast of understanding it perfectly until we reach perfection hence like Paul says, we all see in part, but our case is better than y'all because we believe God and his words while y'all hate truth but love your leaders who control your sheeple minds.

And I'm still coming with more truths y'all can't stand on my Triuneness thread. Janosky is still not tired of quoting verses about the son of Man, and the son of God. Janosky go and read my GOAT movie thread and save yourself from your delusion. All these scriptures you're quoting cannot save your life, learner.

As for your Proverbs 8:22 dilemma. You learners should look up the word qanah. It was used 84 times and 99% of the time was translated "owned, possessed, procured". Stop deceiving yourselves the word for create, "bara" is completely different. God possessed wisdom from the start as a divine property and attribute, that is what is being said. He didn't create wisdom.
Wisdom is also given a female personality throughout Proverbs not a male personality hence it does not refer to Michael or Jesus Christ but rather speaks of a divine property.

Abi you never said "Jesus differs from Jehovah"

And later on the same thread

"Jesus is the same person as Jehovah" cheesy
Yes I said Jesus and Jehovah are the same being but not the same person, so yes Jesus is Jehovah God but because most times Jehovah God in the old testament is used to describe the Father who is another person from Jesus.

The Spirit is Jehovah, when the holy spirit spoke it is still Jehovah that spoke.

Let them work out LOVE, JOY and PEACE in just one single group that claims Jesus is Almighty God and present such a group before the whole world.

FOR US TO CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THIS MYSTERY, WE NEED TO HAVE A CLEAR CONCEPTION OF WHO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.:GOD.
In the following, we shall find answers to the questions of many: some scriptures were highlighted (not all; they were just too many: we will address them, if need be). Now, to business.


Cc: Janosky , Blabbermouth , bloodofthelamb , Haddeylium, Maximus69, DappaD, Chatinent, Janosky,
DrLiveLogic, Emusan, Csonice1, Petra1,Anas09, Solite3 :

The word "God" simply means:
Creator and ruler over the universe: it would be very unscriptural to exempt The Father, His Word or His Spirit from the responsibility or credit of creation. The Spirit of God is God Himself, unlimited by a body; the same Spirit is the Spirit of Christ.
Now, The Lord is the Spirit*(IICor.3:17)
The first appearance of the Spirit of the Lord was as a creator*(Genesis1:1,2)



Genesis1:1,2
1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. [3And God said....]"


The Word was with God in the beginning: and He Himself (The Word) being God.*(John1:1&2)
There is nothing [ absolutely nothing] that was created that was not created by Christ; He created all things; all angels; all dominion and all strata of created existence. Anything created, that was not made by Christ does not exist.*(John 1:3, Hebrews 11:3)



John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.


The significance of the word "God" is that whoever bears that Name is the creator and Highest Authority or ruler over the universe; having existence from the beginning.
It is a position:an office: represented by the Throne[singular] of God. Whomever sits on the Throne is God: because He is the Creator and is Almighty : Alpha-Omega. It so happens that ELOHIM [Father, Son and Spirit] qualified for that position.

THE FATHER IS CREATOR
THE WORD IS CREATOR
THE SPIRIT IS CREATOR

THE FATHER SITS ON THE THRONE: THE SON SITS ON THE SAME THRONE: BOTH HAVE THE SAME SPIRIT; THE CREATOR.
THREE PERSONS IN ONE GOD.

The reason [why] God is called God is found across all of Scripture; because He is the possessor of the heavens and the Earth, He created the Heavens and the Earth; the Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.*(ref.psalm89:11, psalm104:24,30)

Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

It so happens that the eligible occupants [scripturally] of that office - The Throne - ;
is the Father, His Word and His Eternal Spirit, all United in one.
*
Genesis1:1,2
psalm104:30
John 1:1-3
Hebrews1:1-3
Colossians1:15-17, Colossians2:8-10


Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the water.

Psalms 104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Hebrews 1:1-3
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;


EXAMINING THE SCRIPTURES CAREFULLY*( Philippians2:11)

"And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father"

Note that it is not "God,the Father"-but it is -
"God the Father" ; they are two different things.
"God the Father" is signifying the dimension(person) of God called "The Father".
In other words, this implies literally that if there is "God the Father", then obviously there is God the Son [scripturally speaking]. And matt.28:19 United them with the Spirit in the Name ( not names) : This Name- speaking of the Authority already spoken of in verse18. That Name is Lord [the position now occupied by Jesus]: that Name is God : Having authority (power) in Heaven and on Earth; it's the Name of He that sits upon the THRONE.
*Matt 28:18&19


Matthew 28:18,19
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:


The Lord Jesus was in God as an integral dimension of Him: being His Word. The Word came out(forth) of the Father and was with Him, even in the beginning: And the Word was God because he sat with God on the Throne and was the creator: because He is God's Word by the power of His Spirit* (John1:1-3, Hebrews11:3)


John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God. 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.


[b] Now, when the time came for the redemption of man: [something wonderful happened]: He made himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of a man; despite being equal with God.
Here, having made himself of no reputation, he was subject (obedient) to the Father and the Father sent him into the Earth for this purpose. No one took his glory from Him, he laid it down; No one took his life from him, he became mortal of his own accord. So, all power, kingdom and glory was in the hand of the one who sat on the throne; He decides what happens; Jesus has to trust that the love of God will see him through_ that the Father will not allow Him to see corruption_ that after he had drank from the cup, that the Father will raise him back to glory and he wasn't mistaken. Through integrity, the Father will always stick to His Word; as touching their agreement through the Spirit before the world began.*
Therefore, when He[Christ] had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of Majesty on High (the same position of authority with the Father)*
Romans1:4
Hebrews1:1-3
Philippians2:5-11 [/b]




What Christ manifested is the most remarkable form of humility, love and faith ( trusting on the integrity of the Father).
[ I could envision Him come down from the throne and say: "Father, here I am, send me"]* He made himself of no reputation; that's to say He sold out his right to the throne and became like a servant, even lower than angels. He laid down all and became mortal.
When He arrived at the Earth he said " I have come to do your will" *
Hebrews10:5-7
John12:27&28
John 16:27&28
John 17:5


Now, it was in the power of God the Father at this moment to do as it pleases with Him; for He [Christ] had committed himself to the one who judges righteously; having stripped himself of glory: he humbled Himself, being of no reputation, as a man, like a servant; a Son sent from the One who sits on the Throne. Jesus, as a mortal was tempted at all points yet without sin; he laid down all, including His life trusting that God will fulfill His promise according to the predeterminate council.

God the Father proved His integrity by remaining faithful to His Word; Therefore, the Father was with Him, and after Jesus had suffered and died as was written of Him, The Father by the Spirit raised Him up and Enthroned Him Again.

No I don't know more than Christ: but that which His word says I know according to the understanding given. Therefore, I agree with Him as touching all of His Word in unison.

[you could have been humble enough to check out those scriptures; if you are trying to protect your ego or a doctrine , it will do you greater harm if we are to examine those scriptures here]

For a start:
John 17:5
"And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was ."

The glory that Christ obtained, is it not to sit with God upon the throne? Having obtained all authority and power in heaven and Earth. they had it before the word began.

I am an adopted son born out of due season; when Christ paid the price. I obtained access to my Father's authority through proxy: a power of attorney.
[search that out for clarification]

Jesus had existed with The Father from the beginning (John1:1-3),

Jesus obtained that throne through inheritance [he is the creator with God the Father, through the Spirit],

he obtained that Name through bestowment after (having stripped himself of glory, laying down his right to the throne, and died) he resurrected and returned to the Father.

AND by conquest when he spoiled principalities and power and made an open show of them; triumphing over them.

Therefore, when he stood before the Father to obtain the glory Again, this happened: during the coronation ceremony [all of creation testified: they couldn't keep quiet; He was truly wothy to receive glory and all that the throne represents];

Revelation 5:11-13

"And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. "

Blabbermouth:

I don't believe Jesus is Angel Michael but Janosky was right.

Division of labour... Right?

Okay?

Commentary: The writer here is telling us to emulate something about Christ. Which is?

Humility:
What Christ did was a remarkable manifestation of humility. He is meant to be a role model to us. Why shouldn't a man be humble if Christ being equal to God could strip himself of glory to fulfill the predeterminate council; and was obedient unto death?


Commentary: The phrase "in the form of God" ... Is to say "the nature of God".... So the writer is saying Christ had the nature of God but he didn't let that Get in his Head and start thinking he himself is equal to God.
This is God's Word, we need not cut it to suit us: since you seek a more elaborate explanation, therefore let's use the amplified version. I will attach it below.
He knew he was equal with God; he just laid it down: didnt let it stop him from achieving his goal: He kind of dropped his rights to the throne and took the form of a man. All for our sakes.


Commentary: Even with the nature of God, he expressed himself like a servant[/b]

Commentary: This Christ who was fashioned as a man humbled himself and was obedient unto death....
What shall we say then, Jesus is God Almighty with this verse?

Jesus is an integral dimension of God; Having the qualites that make God God; creator, He who sits on the throne, having all authority in heaven and on Earth.(John1:1-3)
(Acts20:28 agrees with this witness too).

As he stripped himself of the right to the throne, he entrusted all glory to God the Father ; being the custodian of all Authority and power having equal rights to the throne. He[Christ] became way lower, even lower than the angels. This version of him had to be Subject to the Father until Glory is bestowed upon Him again. This He did all for our sakes; every single moment of it. What a love! Greater love hath no man than this..

Philippians2:5-11
AMP:Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]

6
AMP: Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained,

7
AMP:But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.

8
AMP:And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!


9
AMP:Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him The Name that is above every name,

10
AMP:That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11
AMP:And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

What Christ did was a remarkable manifestation of humility. He is meant to be a role model to us. Why shouldn't a man be humble if Christ being equal to God could strip himself of glory to fulfill the predeterminate council; and was obedient unto death?


This is God's Word, we need not cut it to suit us: since you seek a more elaborate explanation, therefore let's use the amplified version. I will attach it below.
He knew he was equal with God; he just laid it down: didnt let it stop him from achieving his goal: He kind of dropped his rights to the throne and took the form of a man. All for our sakes.



Jesus is an integral dimension of God; Having the qualites that make God God; creator, He who sits on the throne, having all authority in heaven and on Earth.(John1:1-3)
(Acts20:28 agrees with this witness too).

As he stripped himself of the right to the throne, he entrusted all glory to God the Father ; being the custodian of all Authority and power having equal rights to the throne. He[Christ] became way lower, even lower than the angels. This version of him had to be Subject to the Father until Glory is bestowed upon Him again. This He did all for our sakes; every single moment of it. What a love! Greater love hath no man than this..

Philippians2:5-11
AMP:Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]

6
AMP: Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained,

7
AMP:But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.

8
AMP:And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!


9
AMP:Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him The Name that is above every name,

10
AMP:That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11
AMP:And every tongue [frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."


I think this version is very elaborate and nice .[pls, refer to a post I made earlier today: it will help us with the rest of the questions]

Pharaoh made Joseph the greatest man in Egypt but not above Pharaoh (himself) {Genesis 41:41,44} that is exactly what Jehovah made Jesus after his humble journey on earth so Jesus' name was never and will never be above Jehovah's name! 1Corinthians 15:27 smiley

@bloodofthelamb, it's either you agree with JWs that God created Jesus (Michael) or that God created his own wisdom as your TRINITY cohorts are insinuating.

There's no third option Sir! cheesy

Who among us said God created His own wisdom here?

Shameless Lying mouth.

When it's obvious here that you are the very one who that statement should be directed at because you claimed the wisdom in Prov 8 (even when your lying organization says it's wisdom personification) is Jesus Christ and Jesus was a created being according to you yet the Scripture said Jesus Christ is the VERY WISDOM OF GOD.

So it means God created His own wisdom!

You have been shown in various verses and versions how God ALONE and by HIMSELF created heavens and earth, yet you are wallowing in your delusions of God using another creature AGENT which then makes God a liar something boldly written in the scripture.

Here are more verses that put your man made doctrine of God uses a creature AGENT into dustbin.

Job 9:8

CJB
He alone spreads out the sky and walks on the waves in the sea.

CEV
God alone stretched out the sky, stepped on the sea,

DARBY
Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the high waves of the sea;

DRA
Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and walketh upon the waves of the sea.

GNV
He himself alone spreadeth out the heavens, and walketh upon the height of the Sea.

GW
He stretches out the heavens by himself and walks on the waves of the sea.

GNT
No one helped God spread out the heavens or trample the sea monster's back.


In fact I love the way GNT rendered that verse!

And also, it was written here that at creation Yahweh is the one walking on water as supported by Genesis 1:2 but unfortunately for you, your man made doctrine teaches that it's the ACTIVE FORCE of God.

Nehemiah 9:6

KJ21
Thou, even Thou, art Lord alone; Thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens with all their host, the earth and all things that are therein, the seas and all that is therein; and Thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshipeth Thee.

ASV
Thou art Jehovah, even thou alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are thereon, the seas and all that is in them, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.

CEB
You alone are the Lord. You alone made heaven, even the heaven of heavens, with all their forces. You made the earth and all that is on it, and the seas and all that is in them. You preserve them all, and the heavenly forces worship you.

CJB
“‘You are Adonai, you alone. You made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their array, the earth and all the things that are in it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.[/b]


The @underlined phrase "and you preserve them all" is the same wording in Hebrew 1:3 when we read that the Son is the one who sustain all creation by His power.

The @underlined phrase "and you preserve them all" is the same wording in Hebrew 1:3 when we read that the Son is the one who sustain all creation by His power.

Bill Gate built his business empower all by himself, but there are workers who served under him as he was giving them orders on how he wanted his business!

So God created everything you're seeing today but he made use of his intelligent creatures like you and i to make life sweeter with Electricity, Telecommunication, Transportation and so on. But Jesus was his first employee that's all! cheesy

Olodo....

Your man made doctrine of God uses a creature is greatly affecting sense of reasoning.

Can you provide evidence for the @underlined above

Or let me put it this way, kindly provide from Bill Gates own statement where he claimed to do it ALL BY HERSELF?

Even Bill Gates doesn't own MICROSOFT alone.

So God created everything you're seeing today

ALONE AND BY HIMSELF

but he made use of his intelligent creatures like you and i to make life sweeter with Electricity, Telecommunication, Transportation and so on

Shows us where God made use of any creature in the creation account.

Even Isaiah 48:13 has this to say


CJB
My hand laid the foundation of the earth, my right hand spread out the heavens; when I summoned them, at once they rose into being.

CEV
With my own hand I created the earth and stretched out the sky. They obey my every command.

ESV
My hand laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand spread out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand forth together.

GNT
My hands made the earth's foundations and spread the heavens out. When I summon earth and sky, they come at once and present themselves.

NLT
It was my hand that laid the foundations of the earth, my right hand that spread out the heavens above. When I call out the stars, they all appear in order.”




Not only does YAHWEH making affirmative statement about how His very OWN HAND laid the foundation of the earth and spread out heavens, the most interesting part is @underlined where it was boldly written that THE COMMANDMENTS of Yahweh were directly given to the very THINGS CREATED not to another creature.



But Jesus was his first employee that's all! cheesy

So what did Jesus do as first employee of God?

He participated during creation, when God said "let us make man in our own image" {Genesis 1:26} JEHOVAH was talking to his spirit son Jesus (Michael)
Proverbs 8:22-31 compare to John 1:1-5; Colossians 1:15-16 smiley
