The problem with saying Jesus was just moving through the motions, like theater, is that if you apply it to John's water baptism we might as well apply it to everything he did. Just comes off an insincere and disingenuous. By the way, are you a Trinitarian or no?

Jesus bluffed his way through John’s water baptism of repentance even though it was a command given from heaven? That seems problematic too.

The Bible also says that loving God isn't a cake walk. It's a pretty high bar. I am not convinced that most believers I have spoken to fit this, but I couldn't really say. Romans 8:28 may apply to fewer than is immediately apparently. Matthew 22 37Jesus declared, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with...

It's better than Jesus repenting of his (own) nonexistent sin. 1 Peter 4 8Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Are you aware of why most modern Bible's omit "Lord" from 1 Corinthians 15:47 and replace it with "man?" Trinitarian commentary Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers says this: "The second man is the Lord from heaven.—Better, the second man is from heaven. The words “the Lord,” which occur...

No, but a human who had to learn to choose good and reject evil. This is who Immanuel is; a normal human who underwent spiritual development. Isaiah 7 14Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him...

To not make the people in the area angry?

I don't think Jesus repented of his sin, but everyone's sin.

Just curious. Well, Hebrews actually tells us what happened before he was obedient and humbled himself. He was a man learning obedience until he was perfected. Just like all of us are trying to do. Except he did it, perfectly. Does this sound like God? Hebrews 5 8Although He was a Son, He...

He became obedient.... then.... where did you get the idea he was God preceding this?

God took John's water baptism of repentance? What do you suppose God needed to repent of? Acts 19 4Paul explained: “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance.

That's one way to look at it, but Thomas was on an island alone. All of the other remaining disciples had already confirmed it was "The Lord" not "their Lord and God." Thomas simply lacked the faith and wasn't blessed. John 20 24Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the...

You didn't address verse 5 where Paul premised what follows from there by telling the Philippians to have the same mind in them which was also in Christ Jesus. After that, Paul described the mind of Jesus. Paul wasn't telling them to believe that they are God because Jesus didn't believe he is...

Jesus isn't the I AM and I'll give you some things to deal with as well. See Acts 3:13 where Jesus is not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Acts 3 13The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. Compare this to Exodus 3:14,15 where the God...

Being the "God of all flesh" and a"God of flesh" aren't the same things. The Old Testament also says that God isn't a man or a son of man. That means God isn't human, i.e., He isn't flesh. Numbers 23 19God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind.

But Thomas wasn't praised for his attitude of being a doubter. Thomas required visual evidence of Jesus' resurrection to believe it was true. Jesus responded with “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Which means Thomas wasn't...

When angels bowed to Jesus he didn't get any glory according to Scripture. Philippians 2 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. And in the Bible bowing...

What you are using is called an argument from silence, i,e, "The Bible doesn't say Jesus isn't Thomas God therefore it's true." However, with something as important as who God and Jesus are, we should not be be basing our beliefs off of something the Bible doesn't plainly say in favor of...

In John 20:17 Jesus defined who his and his brothers' God is by saying He's the Father. That means when Thomas said "my God" in John 20:28 that he's referring to the Father.

It's quoted from Psalm 45:6 where in the chapter it's referring to a human king with a queen. God doesn't have a queen and neither does Jesus. In Psalm 45:6, when the author referred to the human king he isn't referring to him as Lord God Almighty. When the author of Hebrews 1 applied this...
