Throughout the Scriptures representatives of Yahweh or Jehovah could be treated or spoken of as God himself as Jacob did when contending with an angel or when Aaron was said to be as God to Moses when in fact they were not the first cause but were agents, intermediaries.

So it in the NT also as Jesus in always spoken of as subservient to his father being called a servant, sent forth, being granted the power to judge, being granted life in himself, sitting at the right hand, not acting on his own initiative, not knowing what the Father knew, etc.

I didn’t notice. I was wondering if you understood what you were quoting, and who you thought I should forg9ive.

The arguments do not harden people. People who fail to remain in fellowship in Christ allow their thinking to degenerate and harden.

Remaining in Christ endures any situation or perceived problem by His Plan.

1Jn 5:7-13
(7) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
(8) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
(9) If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
(10) He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
(11) And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
(12) He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
(13) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;

Ephesians 4:25-27 25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. 26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and give no opportunity to the devil.
