1. Jesus Christ did that in John 3 vs 5 - 8 when He said except a man be born again — be born of water and born of spirit —, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God, of which Paul spoke of in the context of the Kingdom of God in 1 Corinthians 15 vs 50 - 54 undecided
As Paul indicated in the context of 1 Corinthians 15 vs 50 - 54, our body, as-is, cannot partake of God's Kingdom.
And as such it needs to be clothed in that which never dies nor decays before it can enter into the Kingdom of God. Well, that something happens during the born-again process — the acquisition of a spirit/eternal aspect to one's being — the Eternal life that one gains when entering the Kingdom of God. See where Paul tells you that to acquire that spiritual body he had alluded to in previous verses, some will not even need to die to have it. Well, it is those who are born-again who will not need to die to have spiritual bodies — complete with flesh and blood while they still live undecided
Oga there is no where Paul or Jesus said said the physical body will be clothed with the spirit for it not to die.
Stop teaching the traditions of men

1. undecided

■Did Jesus Christ at least say you must be born of the spirit — clothed in the spirit— before you can enter into the Kingdom of God - John 3 vs 1 - 8? Yes/No undecided
■ Did Jesus Christ also mention that Eternal life— a life that does not die or come to ruin— is received at the point of entering into His Kingdom - John 3 vs 16 - 21? Yes/Noundecided

Please don't change born in spirit to clothe in sprit.
That is teaching or adding the traditions of men to the word of God.
Where did you see clothe the physical body with spirit?

1. I shouldn't change it even though that is what it means as explained by Jesus Christ Himself in John 3 vs 5 - 8 where He indicates that you acquire a spiritual aspect to your being which changes you from being a physical being to an eternal being able to partake of the Kingdom of God?. undecided

It is a feature of literary style in Arabic that a person may refer to himself by the pronoun nahnu (we) for respect or glorification. He may also use the word ana (I), indicating one person, or the third person huwa (he). All three styles are used in the Qur’an, where Allaah addresses the Arabs in their own tongue.
But Allah was referred to as We in quran.
Are you saying Arabic language is confusing Allah

Bible says that God is not Man

Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man…”

Jesus is called a man many times in the Bible:

John 8:40 “…a man who has told you the truth…”

Acts 2:22 “Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know.”

First none of the verses you quoted says that you stop being a God once you have your foreskin removed.
Secondly if Jesus Christ (Jehovah) chooses to take the form of a man and to live the life of a mortal, who are we to question him.
Christ is a God but chose to live the life of a man. Philippians 2:6-8

John 1.1
Matthew 1.22-23

It was the path he chose to save mankind. That shows the height of his greatness.
Please read John 10.17-18
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Re: Is God A Trinity? by sonmvayina(m): 12:40pm On Mar 21, 2023
Where did god say it was ok to worship anyone else besides him?
Deuteronomy 6: Hearken O Israel:
YH our God, YH is One!
He has nobody with him when he introduced himself…
7You are to repeat this to your children
12 lest you forget YH who brought you out of the land of Egypt
So god never introduced a son to us and asked us to let our children know as well…
Genesis 17:1 When Avram was ninety-nine years old, YH appeared [became revealed] to Avram and said to him: I am Almighty Shaddai, walk [worship] before Me and be perfect.
here god tells him to be perfect
You have to follow and worship YH alone.

Exodus 3:12
when you have freed the people from Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain. (Acknowledging the only god) after that Moses asked his name!
STILL THE SAME GOD BEFORE AND AFTER THE JEWS HAD BEEN SAVED FROM EGYPT

Genesis 22:5 Then Abraham said to his servants, “You stay here with the ass. The boy and I will go up there; we will worship and we will return to you.”
they will go acknowledge YH and issac will be AS A burnt offering. (Not a real burnt offering)
AND MIND YOU GOD ASKED FOR ABRAHAM TO DO THIS!
while with Jesus he did not! Jesus willingly did what he wanted to do without god speaking to him…..
To compare issac to Jesus is incorrect.
Genesis 22: 14
Avraham worshiped and prayed there in that place, and he said before God, “Here will generations worship”. Therefore, as it is said [to] this day, “On this mountain Avraham worshiped before God.
NOT BEFORE ANYONE ELSE…
(God is alone)

To confirm nobody else Is with god ….
Exodus 20:4
You shall not make for yourselves, for the purpose of worship, any sculpture, nor any image of anything that is in heaven above, such as angels and heavenly bodies, or of anything that is in the water beneath the earth, such as the bottom of the ocean and what dwells there.

So you can rest assured Moses and Abraham never had an image as a son of god nor introduced such a person to the jews

Gen 6.2-3

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Ahh Exodus 6. 3 actually helps you understand that 2 Person's are involved here.
Exodus 6:3

3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.
Here, Jehovah tells Moses that in the past, he appeared in the name of God Almighty while his own name was unknown. Or let's put it in a way you can understand. He was basically saying I appeared in my surname but my name was unknown to them.
Now to verse 2
And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:
Jehovah says I am the Lord, does that mean he does not have a father? No.
