You are the one full of nonsense... and it’s sad because it has you lost, lost, lost.
Does not God have the right to serve Himself if He pleases?
I will make it easy for you...please address these honestly, because no one here has!
2. Matthew 26:39
My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me, yet not as I will, but as Thou will.
Jesus’ will is likewise autonomous from God’s Will. Jesus is seeking acquiescence to God’s will.
3. John 5:26
For as the Father has life in Himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.
Jesus received his life from God. God received his life from no one. He is eternally self-existent.
4. John 5:30
By myself, I can do nothing: I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who has sent me.
Jesus says, “by myself, I can do nothing.” This indicates that Jesus is relying upon his own relationship with God. He is not trying to “please myself” but rather is seeking to “please the one who sent me.”
Amazing how all of you claim some knowledge that Jesus is God, yet you are all afraid to directly address the scriptures that I have provider of his very own words which prove otherwise. Bunch of cowards.
Amazing how you close your ears to the obvious. You are married to a supposed explanation of classic Christianity via your own eisegetic strawman model of God.
God answers you. We do not need to answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.
These deal with the incarnate aspect of Christ. They would not apply to the Son in eternity.
You are fighting and mocking the incarnation, just as Satan does. Christ “EMPTIED HIMSELF” to become incarnate, making certain things possible that would otherwise not make sense.
I.e. these all apply to Jesus qua human. His human nature didn’t wish to die. But he chose his sacrificial death for the sake of love. Unless he “EMPTIED HIMSELF” such a thing would make no sense.
You’re dealing in sophomoric sophisms and the amount by which you cannot appreciate what Christ has offered to YOU... would fill volumes.
Again..you are avoiding Jesus’ own words which I sent you. You simply ca not deal with the OBVIOUS truth of them.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
this is better than 1954’s restored Godzilla. Wait for me to get my popcorn and I’ll settle in.
I am sorry..but if you look at the verses proposed as showing Jesus as God..supposedly...then read the scriptures that I sent of his own words, there is no contest...a humble son and savior for mankind with God the power source wins! Period. The people here will not deal with this fact.
