Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47132336 If you read the Bible and pay attention, both the Father AND His Son show us just how Mighty the Father is! Even after ALL that Jesus had said and done during His ministry, He still states who He is and what He's done in accordance to the Father, with the prayers in John 17. ... 1. Jesus NEVER said "pray to me" NOR "worship me". 2. Jesus NEVER said "pray to / worship" a "trinity". 3. Jesus NEVER said "pray to the Holy Spirit" NOR "worship Holy Spirit". 4. Jesus NEVER said to pray to ANYONE other than the Father. 5. The Holy Spirit NEVER says "I am _______" or "you shall ________". Only Jesus and the Father say such. ..... Jesus has a God - the Father. It's NOT Himself. John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. ... Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ..... John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. ..... John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus states several time He only does the Father's Will...here's just one. John 5:19 (KJV) Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

How is it, OP, you cannot accept what is right in front of you when you read the bible? Philippians 2:6-11King James Version (KJV) 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. John 10:30New International Version (NIV) 30 I and the Father are one.” King James Bible Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? John 14:9 Every time you say Jesus is NOT God (the Father) you blaspheme God. You keep trying to reinforce that they are 2 persons and separate (polytheism). Do you not think that every Christian at some point believed Jesus and the Father were separate beings???? Then, to believe that he IS the Father is actually a STEP UP. To believe they are separate is where every Christian starts. Then to see and believe and accept that he is the Father (which is a step one can only take by faith) is a SECONDARY step, not a primary step.

Jesus obviously wants you to know he is God. Only God can forgive sins! Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? Mark 2:7 Why do we ask Jesus to forgive our sins if it's his Father who forgives our sins? God is not a respecter of persons! Only God is the lawgiver, when we sin we break HIS law and since he is judge we must as his forgiveness if we are repentant and want it. Ask the Lawgiver for forgiveness, not the son of the Lawgiver, unless they are the same person. Jesus went in, and Jesus came out. The Father went in, and the Father came out. Oh, and what's the NAME, the proper name, the personal name of the Holy Spirit in which we are to be baptized? Kind of unfulfilling to be baptized in someone's name that you don't even know! This will help you understand maybe, maybe not.... Thread: A word from the Lord Almighty. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72343552 United States 08/14/2017 11:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let me correct myself. The first thing God ever begot was Jesus. Jesus then created all other things. Begot is different than create, although Jesus is a creation. Jesus is a creation who was begotten. If there is nothing and then out of nowhere and nothing comes clay, that clay was begotten. If there is no baby breathing outside of the womb and then out from the womb the baby comes, that baby was begotten. If you take that clay and mold it into the likeness of a human, you CREATED a thing. If you were to be ABLE to sculpt and mold and stitch and piece together a baby, then you CREATED a baby. People do not create babies, GOD does. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; Jeremiah 1:5 NOBODY created Jesus Christ, but the Father himself, the Spirit, made manifest the first creation out of nothing nowhere, the first and ONLY begotten "Son of God". You could call him the only begotten creation of God. Because then with Jesus, and AS Jesus, the Father spoke all OTHER THINGS into existence. He therefore created all other creations with his VOICE whereas AS THE HOLY SPIRIT God had NO VOICE with which to CREATE Jesus so he had to BEGET Jesus. He simply *BECAME* by the power of God, and he himself also is God. God was basically saying, "I WILL BE THAT AMONGST....(Let there be light, etc.) ALL THIS" |

MY LOGIC BRAIN TELLS ME JESUS IS A WEIRDO FOR TALKING TO HIMSELF....... SO HE IS NOT WEIRDO, HE NOT TALK TO HIMSELF, HE TALK TO SOMEONE ELSE. Even the Father of creation was comforted by Moses and Elijah, and in the garden also of angels. HE WAS A MAN. EVEN JESUS KNEW he was a vessel of God, and THE VESSEL OF God. Lucifer couldn't comprehend that he is a created thing and thought he could become the Creator. WHAT IDIOCY! Jesus knows he is a creation created by himself, the Holy Spirit, that lives in him. He even needed to spend time away from people like we all do from time to time. So the Almighty God was speaking to himself... Does that make him a lunatic? But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14 1 Corinthians 1:18-31King James Version (KJV) 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the J-ws require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the J-ws a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both J-ws and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. |

The following Scriptures confirm this: Jesus Christ is our Savior "To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord..." [2 Pet.1,2] Jehovah God is our Savior "...I am the Lord your God,The Holy One of Israel, your Savior..." [Isaiah 43:3] Jesus Christ is our Redeemer "looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ ,who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." [Titus 2:13,14] Jehovah God is our Redeemer "As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel." [Isaiah 47:4] Jesus Christ is our Creator "...by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him." [Col.1:16] Jehovah God is our Creator "Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: “I am the Lord, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself..." [Isaiah 44:24] Jesus Christ is Our Father " For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." [Isaiah 9:6] Jehovah God is Our Father "...You are our Father..." [Isaiah 63:16] "But now, O Lord, You are our Father..." [Isaiah 64:8] Jesus Christ is The I AM "Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” [John 8:58] Jehovah God is The I AM "And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” [Exod.3:14] Jesus Christ is Lord of lords "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords..." [Rev.17:14] Jehovah God is Lord of lords "For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords..." [Deut.10:17] Jesus Christ is The Almighty “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” [Rev.1:8] Jehovah God is The Almighty "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God..." [Gen.17:1] Jesus Christ is Our King "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” [Rev.17:14] Jehovah God is Our King "The Lord is King forever and ever..." [Psalm 10:16] Jesus Christ is the First and Last "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. [Rev.22:13] Jehovah God is the First and Last "Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last." [Isaiah 48:12] Although all these passages reveal to us that Jesus Christ and Jehovah are One and the same Divine Person there are other passages that make a distinction between them. It's important to remember that Jesus changed between His birth and His resurrection. During His life on earth Jesus was tempted. And because He wasn't yet glorified, He had to enter into His glory by degrees. He also "increased in wisdom and stature." [Luke 2:52] Before the resurrection, the union of Jehovah and Jesus was not yet complete, this is why Jesus said, "I am going to My Father, for My Father is greater than I." [John 14:28; 16:16] It was only after this work was finished that He could say, "All power has been given to Me in heaven and earth." [Matthew 28:18] It was not until then that He was completely and fully God. The passages that make a distinction between the Father and Son don't describe a relationship that exists between two Persons. It's the kind of relationship that exists between soul and body. This is why the Lord said "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works." [John 14:10] We never speak of one person dwelling in another person, we do however, speak of the soul dwelling within the body, or in this case, the infinite Divine Soul dwelling within Jesus Christ. This is the reason why the Lord is "...the image of the invisible God" [Col.1:15] and is the very "form of God" [Phili.2:6] John said, "No one has seen God at any time. The only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has revealed Him." [John 1:18] The Divine Soul is invisible [like a human soul]. "You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form." [John 5:37; 6:46] But in Jesus, that Soul is revealed, as in Its own Body. Since we communicate with a person's soul only by means of his body, Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father but by Me." [John 14:6] By coming to the Lord Jesus Christ we're drawing near to the One God of the universe Who has come to earth to show Himself to us in His own loving Human Form.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47132336 Correct AC. The mystery of the Messiah has eluded the people. OP asks: Is this God praying to & talking to Himself? Or is it the Son of God praying to & talking to OUR Father! Once you understand the mystery of the veil, then your eyes will open to the truth. OP must understand The Sublime Unity. Start here, and look for The Infinite Reach first. [link to nemesis8.com (secure)] nem8 Icons deleted by me since they tell a story of an unbeliever. Let it be thoroughly understood from the beginning that one man cannot convince another of either right or wrong; but if a man be convinced, it is by his own investigation of that which is placed before him; therefore let such one, if so disposed, read over the bases of this book, and bearing them in mind, discard the remainder, and commence the study of the Scriptures from the first chapter of Genesis, continuing the same without a break unto the Omega of the book of Revelation. Let each man convince himself, for it is his own interest that is at stake. |

The following Scriptures confirm this: Quoting: JJASO2017Rapture Jehovah God is our Savior "...I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior..." [Isaiah 43:3] Jesus Christ is our Savior "To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord..." [2 Pet.1,2] Jehovah God is our Redeemer "As for our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is His name, The Holy One of Israel." [Isaiah 47:4] Jesus Christ is our Redeemer "looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ ,who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works." [Titus 2:13,14] Jehova God is our Creator "Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: “I am the Lord, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself..." [Isaiah 44:24] Jesus Christ is our Creator "...by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him." [Col.1:16] Jehovah God is Our Father "...You are our Father..." [Isaiah 63:16] "But now, O Lord, You are our Father..." [Isaiah 64:8] Jesus Christ is Our Father " For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." [Isaiah 9:6] Jehovah God is The I AM "And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” [Exod.3:14] Jesus Christ is The I AM "Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” [John 8:58] Jehovah God is Lord of lords "For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords..." [Deut.10:17] Jesus Christ is Lord of lords "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords..." [Rev.17:14] Jehovah God is The Almighty "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God..." [Gen.17:1] Jesus Christ is The Almighty “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” [Rev.1:8] Jehovah God is Our King "The Lord is King forever and ever..." [Psalm 10:16] Jesus Christ is Our King "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” [Rev.17:14] Jehovah God is the First and Last "Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last." [Isaiah 48:12] Jesus Christ is the First and Last "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. [Rev.22:13] Although all these passages reveal to us that Jesus Christ and Jehovah are One and the same Divine Person there are other passages that make a distintion between them. It's important to remember that Jesus changed between His birth and His resurrection. During His life on earth Jesus was tempted. And because He wasn't yet glorified, He had to enter into His glory by degrees. He also "increased in wisdom and stature." [Luke 2:52] Before the resurrection, the union of Jehovah and Jesus was not yet complete, this is why Jesus said, "I am going to My Father, for My Father is greater than I." [John 14:28; 16:16] It was only after this work was finished that He could say, "All power has been given to Me in heaven and earth." [Matthew 28:18] It was not until then that He was completely and fully God. The passages that make a disinction between the Father and Son don't describe a relationship that exists between two Persons. It's the kind of relationship that exists between soul and body. This is why the Lord said "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works." [John 14:10] We never speak of one person dwelling in another person, we do however, speak of the soul dwelling within the body, or in this case, the infinite Divine Soul dwelling within Jesus Christ. This is the reason why the Lord is "...the image of the invisible God" [Col.1:15] and is the very "form of God" [Phili.2:6] John said, "No one has seen God at any time. The only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has revealed Him." [John 1:18] The Divine Soul is invisible [like a human soul]. "You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form." [John 5:37; 6:46] But in Jesus, that Soul is revealed, as in Its own Body. Since we communicate with a person's soul only by means of his body, Jesus said, "No one comes to the Father but by Me." [John 14:6] By coming to the Lord Jesus Christ we're drawing near to the One God of the universe Who has come to earth to show Himself to us in His own loving Human Form.
