Are you thinking Eternal such as 1 Tim 6:16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.I'm not sure about that. In Ex 3:14 God states what he considers his primary unique attribute. The VOICE translation renders it Eternal. Some translations improperly render it "I AM" and trinitarians make a big deal out of Jesus using this very common expression in Greek. However, it Hebrew the more direct translation would be, "I was. I am. And I am becoming." Jesus never said this.
Even if one argues that now that Jesus was given all authority, he is all powerful now, it does not detract from him not meeting the Eternal quality because we all know he died. To get around this basic fact and the inescapable logic of it, the invoke dualism. They claim that only his human half died. My 2 stock responses are:
To the question, it is great fun the artificial dichotomy lengths they go to read into text whatever they want.
- God does not have a human half.
- Where is Jesus 2 natures taught in Scripture?
This attribute speaks to God alone being in possession of immortality and it is His to give / distribute and none other.
