Some examples of the use of the same word translated "worship" (all the time) by some translators: The astrologers who came from the east (Matt. 2:2,11); Peter and the others in the boat when Jesus calms the waves and the wind and walks on the sea (Matt. 14:33); the two women when he appears to...

Do you think Jesus believed he had been in heaven before he was born as a human, or not? John 16: 27(...) ὑμεῖς ἐμὲ πεφιλήκατε __ you for me had affection καὶ πεπιστεύκατε __ and you have believed ὅτι ἐγὼ παρὰ [τοῦ] θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον. __ that I came from the side of God. 28 ἐξῆλθον παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς...

Thanks. So now you know that "fullness" doesn't mean what you thought before.

And, if don't honor the Father, are you really honoring the Son? Matt. 7:21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not...

From Jesus' point of view, who was the God being worshipped in the temple in Jerusalem?

Nice, you got it right. Then why you don't believe the whole thing: John 1:14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of divine favor and truth. (...) 18 No man has seen God at...

If that is the interpretation of the word "firstborn" for you, would you say that God the Father is also "Firstborn of all creation"?

You say Jesus had no beginning, but the Scriptures call Jesus "the firstborn of all creation" in Col. 1:15. Interesting, right?

In my study of the book of Acts I have found direct references to Jehovah, even though his name is not specifically mentioned. The most interesting thing about the matter is that although the name is not mentioned, the referenced passages of the OT do mention him, and that forces me to think...

Have you checked how many times the God of Jesus is mentioned in the Christian Greek Scriptures? Rom. 15: 5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant you to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that unitedly you may with one voice glorify the...

You're overthinking it... By logical transfer, if Jesus have the fullness of God in an absolute sense, and Christians have the fullness of Jesus, what would that imply? Ephe. 3:14 For this reason I bend my knees to the Father, 15 to whom every family in heaven and on earth owes its name. 16 I...

Is the God of Jesus a lesser god or a greater God than Jesus? Rev. 3:12 ‘The one who conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out from it anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem that...

Remember that the Scriptures weren't written in English. Do you actually know which Greek word is translated "to worship" in English?

Since none of these traits directly suggest that Jesus is on par with God (implying far more than mere divinity), everything hinges on interpretation. However, when interpretations of unclear passages conflict with definitive statements, which should be considered more significant in clarifying...

A brief exploration of Platonic philosophy, which re-emerged during the 3rd century, provides insights into the potential roots of the triune god belief. That era was marked by substantial philosophical inquiry, with various philosophical schools mirroring today's scientific communities. IMO...

Jesus appears to John in a vision over three decades after his ascent to heaven, and told him: Rev. 3:12 ‘The one who conquers—I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will by no means go out from it anymore, and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city...

I consider myself under the same principles of the Law. Actually, Paul talked about the Law of Christ in Gal. 6:2, that is basically based on the love to God and to the neighbor, specially to those who serve the same God with us, to the point of suffer death for it. Matt. 22:37 He said to him...

A law might be misunderstood, its intent intentionally twisted, or exploited through technicalities to breach it; it can also be overstated, leading to harsh penalties. This is why we have lawyers, judges, prosecutors, witnesses, and trials. Trials can be just or unjust, based on the law...
