Please try to stay on the topic since we have already discussed that. So the Lord sent Jesus and the Lord is the Father?
I am staying on topic. In post 18 you said I was denying who Jesus said he is.
John 14:14 refutes your false assertion.

You cannot get pregnant. This is because of what you are. Your wife can get pregnant. This is because of what she is.No, it isn't.
My wife is submissive to me (Ephesians 5:24), but we are both equally people.
Functional subjection does not necessitate ontological inferiority.
You cannot get pregnant.
Certainly. She is a person and you are a person… and yet pregnancy will never be a matter of “taking roles”. You and your wife will never sit, discuss and agree on who will deliver your next baby.Which does not mean I am more or less than a person than she is.
Certainly. God is a Person and you are a person. Does that make you God?
You are not God because God is your head. He has authority over you.No, because I am not the proper recipient of prayer.
You are not God because God is your head. He has authority over you.
My questions are simple. Since Jesus is Lord and the Lord sent Jesus then do you agree that the Father is the Lord? Is there one Lord, two Lords, and can there be two Lords who co-exist without being the same Lord?
Acts 3 (KJV)
19Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
"How then doth David in spirit call him Lord,"~ Because in Jesus' deity he is the I AM THAT I AM! The Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending of all things.Matthew 22:41-45~"While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Only according to Jesus' humanity.Anyone here believe there is a hierarchy?
Any lord that is subject to another lord can’t be God, by definition.Matthew 22:44~The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Our Lord’s point was simple – if Christ is David’s son, why does David call him, Lord?
All the Pharisees could see was Christ the son of David, but David saw much more. David, the father of Christ, called his coming son, Lord, which fathers would not do. The use of Lord here, written in small letters, Hebrew Adonai, means master, ruler. This Lord, this master and ruler, was addressed by Jehovah, LORD in capital letters. David inserted himself by the singular my – inspired witness of God charging Christ. No father would ever do this – call a son master and ruler – so s truth is to be learned from these words of Jesus.
David, under inspiration, declared the coming Christ to be his Adonai – master, ruler. Hallelujah! We know the fact by the gospel, and Jesus used the Jewish Bible to Jews. Do you appreciate the few words so far to expose the Jews’ ignorance of their Christ?
Revel in the pronouns in this single verse – my, thou, my, I, thine, and Hallelujah!
- My … said unto my Lord. This is inspired David inserting himself as subject to Christ.
- Thou … sit thou. This is the LORD God Jehovah promising heavenly glory to Christ.
- My … my right hand. This is the LORD Jehovah promising Christ’s heavenly throne.
- I … till I make. This is the LORD God Jehovah promising to give Christ the victory.
- Thine … thine enemies. This is LORD Jehovah promising to crush Christ’s enemies.
- Thy … thy footstool. This is the LORD God Jehovah promising Christ total authority.
Fallacy non-sequitur. From the fact that Jesus was the true Messiah (Anointed by God) does not follow that the Anointed by God was God.Matthew 22:45~ If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Jesus stated the bottom line – the conclusion – confronting the Jews with their Bible.
If inspired David said Messiah was his master and ruler, how is he his son as you said? Their infatuation with Messiah as conqueror like David had caused them to miss it. Jesus here exposed their ignorance of their own Messiah – that Christ was also God.
No. He did not. He did not do it in the quoted verses and there is no “etcetera”.He had declared this to them in various ways that caused them to hate him viciously. Here he proved the point by their own Bible where they knew Christ was the object.
Jesus had declared His full deity directly at other times (John 5:23; 8:58; 10:30; etc.). And if they had read their Old Testament, they would have found it there (Is 7:14; 9:6).
Greetings Pancho,Any lord that is subject to another lord can’t be God, by definition.
So King David, a lord on his own right, cannot be God, if he foresees himself subject to the Messiah coming from his seed.
And the Messiah cannot be God because he is subject to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Again, Christ was a complex person with two distinct natures ~ one flesh and blood, the Son of Man, the other, the Son of God, making him equal to God, in his deity by being the only begotten Son of God, which even the Pharisees understood this truth.By definition, God does not need to receive authority from anyone else, and does not need the help from anyone else to put the enemies under his feet. God is not sent, is not appointed nor anointed bySomeone else. God is not the spokesman or the executor of anyone else.
So, by definition, the “Anointed by God” cannot be God. The Jews were right, and you are not, my friend
He did this by saying: "I and my Father are one"John 10:30-33~"I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God."
Pancho, you are not rightly dividing the word of truth. God was the Father of Jesus Christ as far as his humanity goes, and as such, he summited himself to God, even unto the death of the cross. The truth of the scriptures is this: Jesus Christ is God, yet God was not Jesus Christ.No. He did not. He did not do it in the quoted verses and there is no “etcetera”.
In contrast, Jesus constantly presented his credentials as Messiah, Sent by God… and He called the Father his God.
He presented Himself as not having come on his own authority, and as speaking and doing what the Father asked him to do. He presented Himself as an Ambassador, Representative or Messenger of God. As a Son of God, who deserved to be listened to, believed, loved and followed just as we should treat the son of a king who is sent to us on behalf of his father.
Pancho applies a philosophical concept of God rather than something revealed from scripture. How does Pancho know what God can do except by seeing what God has done? It is only by Pancho's denial that God can come incarnate that Pancho claims that God has not done this in Christ. When Pancho speaks of such limitations, his only experience is of that as a human. He is not in position to tell God what God can and cannot do.You cannot get pregnant. This is because of what you are. Your wife can get pregnant. This is because of what she is.
In the a analogy of submission, Paul says that Christ is the head of the husband. You are a husband. Do you believe that the difference between Christ and you is only one of function? Or is Christ’s function different from your function because of What Christ is?
Could you exchange functions with Christ? No.
Could God and Christ exchange functions? No.
Paul says that God is the head of Christ. Why is this? Because of What God is.
You cannot save Christ and you cannot get pregnant. Function is determined by being.
No don't change the topic away from what the OP is. There is already a thread where praying to Jesus has been debunked. Please take that there.I am staying on topic. In post 18 you said I was denying who Jesus said he is.
John 14:14 refutes your false assertion.
Lord God Almighty and the various other lords like Jesus aren't the same person. There are many lords and gods, but there is only One God, the Father, for us Christains."How then doth David in spirit call him Lord,"~ Because in Jesus' deity he is the I AM THAT I AM! The Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending of all things.
The Almighty in Revelation 1:8 isn't Jesus. Read Rev. 1:4-8 and you'll see it.Revelation 1:8
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
If the Trinity were true, 1 Corinthians 15:28 is clear that there is a division in it. This verse is a powerful argument against the Trinity. Well-worth its own thread.Only according to Jesus' humanity.
1 Corinthians 15:28
“And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.”
God is a Spirit, always has been, always will be, that can never change. God was manifest in the flesh, when he joined Himself to the tabernacle of his only begotten Son. He never ceased to be who he is......... A Spirit that lives in eternity.
No don't change the topic away from what the OP is.
The Almighty in Revelation 1:8 isn't Jesus. Read Rev. 1:4-8 and you'll see it.
6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
God and Jesus aren't the same person in Revelation 1:4-8. Him which is, and which was, and which is to come AND from Jesus Christ? Hello?6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
----->kratos (Rev. 1:6)
pantokratōr (Rev. 1:8)
That Jesus is the proper recipient of dominion (kratos) in the doxology of Revelation 1:6 proves He is the Almighty (pantokratōr) in Revelation 1:8.
Notice also that in verse 7 it speaks of Jesus 'coming'...
I've been continually trying to lasso you back to the OP.Then don't change the topic either by asking me questions that are not related to it.
I believe there is only One God, manifest as three "only" according to each work in the redemption of God's elect.
The Almighty in Revelation 1:8 isn't Jesus. Read Rev. 1:4-8 and you'll see it.
You are deceived and trying to deceive God's children, but you will never be able to do so!Revelation 1:4-8~"John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, andwhich was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty."
Lord God Almighty and the various other lords like Jesus aren't the same person. There are many lords and gods, but there is only One God, the Father, for us Christains.
1 Corinthians 8
5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
