Adam that fell is a perfect human being. Do u know what perfect mean.
Perfect means created in the image (likeness) of God!
SIRTee15:

As I said, I refuse to debate u because I know u also JW. I only corrected the guy because he forged a bible verse.
He used terms that you're not familiar with so he is correct you just misunderstood him.

This is not true max, Jesus is the "Express image of God"
Adam was made in God's image but he was never the Express image of God.

The word express means exactly replica, not just a copy but the exact word for word, texture for texture in everything.

Why is Jesus the image of God?
Image means what can be seen, Adam was the closest resemblance of what God is like on earth but however not the exact same thing.

Jesus is the original image of God, meaning if God would be seen then it is Jesus, he is the exact reflection of the invisible God.

Because Jesus is God made flesh that is why he is called the image of God.

Ọmọ Adam and Jesus are equal in human nature both of them were images of the invisible God. Luke 3:38
The only difference is that one remain obedient despite all trials while the other gave in to selfishness! smiley

He left out 'son is the radiance of God's glory' in that verse.
That's forgery and not right.

It's not forgery in his own version it wasn't interpreted like that:

He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact representation of his very being, and he sustains all things by the word of his power. And after he had made a purification for our sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

The same could be said of Adam the son of God! Luke 3:38

Jesus is the exact image of God meaning he is God in the flesh, I can see you are avoiding it because it exposes Jehovah's false witness lies.


Jehovah has nothing to do with false witness organization and their lies.

Heb 1.3

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Why did u omit the highlighted, because u uncomfortable with the truth. That's forgery and coming from a Christian says a lot about your belief and your person.

God bless u and I pray he opens your eyes to the truth because u far from it.

@ John 17:7,22. Jesus Christ said

7 Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you,
22 “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one
. 24 Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!


@ Hebrews 1:1-3, did Paul reference Jesus Christ as a human being?
No, not at all.

Did "God made the Universe through his Son" Jesus when Jesus was a man?
No, not at all.



@ John 17:7,22,is Jesus Christ teaching SirTee that Jesus radiance (reflection) of God's glory is a gift GIVEN to Jesus?
Yes indeed.

Oga, did not now see that your claim is not true because Jesus said he GIVES the same glory of Hebrews 1:3 to the disciples?

You alleged that Hebrews 1:3 validate your claim. Oga, do you now agree that your claim on Hebrews 1:3 makes the disciples God too as revealed by Jesus Christ@ John 17:7,22,24? grin grin
Jesus glory @ Hebrew 1:3= John 17:7,22,24.

As a perfect human like Adam {1Corinthians 15:45} Jesus is the radiance of God's glory {John 14:9} had it been that Adam didn't fail in his own test against Satan we won't need Jesus at all on this planet because Adam was made in the likeness of God {Genesis 1:26} that's why God's word said all humans who are supposed to be radiance of God's glory have fallen short of God's glory due to sin inherited from Adam {Romans 3:23} so don't let anyone deceive you with letters Jesus is God's son just as Adam is God's son! Luke 3:38

My brother Max,
Jesus Christ says his God GIVEN glory has been given to the disciples, @John 17:7,22,24. The disciples resurrected to heaven radiates God's glory that Jesus received & given them.

SirTee says Jesus is the radiance of God's glory @ Hebrews 1:3 means Jesus is God, Jesus says the disciples given same glory @ John17:7,22,24.

Therefore,according to SirTee logic, John 17:7,22,24 meaning the disciples be God too.

He thought God's glory to is only for Jesus when the Bible called Adam God's image {Genesis 1:26} who is equal to Jesus {1Corinthians 15:45} they don't know that it was sin that removed that glory {Romans 3:23} and once a person becomes God's son {John 1:12} through the ransom sacrifice of Christ that glory will be restored!

Does your own Bible begins & ends in Isaiah 42:8 ?

Isaiah 42:8 , Jehovah God does NOT share glory with Idols & "anyone else" a reference to Worshippers of idols.

God shared it with Adam but he fell by sinning so he failed to pass it to his descendants that's why the scriptures say:

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23 compare to Romans 5:12

Jesus came to replace Adam {1Corinthians 15:45} so he can share that glory with all those having faith in him as their adoptive father through faith {John 1:11-12} hence Jesus could say:

"I have GIVEN them the glory that you have GIVEN me, in order that they may be one just as we are one" John 17:22

As son of God {John 3:16} Jesus was GIVEN God's glory just as Adam was also given {Luke 3:38} Adam failed to pass it on to his children but Jesus was able to pass it on to all those accepting him as their adoptive father! wink
