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

So what about isaiah 42.8. except u saying Adam is not a man.

"I am Jehovah. That is my name; I give my glory to no one else, Nor my praise to graven images" Isaiah 42:8

The context here differ!

You can't comprehend this verse because God's name is mentioned not the title LORD so God is saying no one else can share with Him the glory that comes with His name.

The name "Jehovah" means "He causes to become" nobody can rightly share that glory with God that's why Jesus said:

“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father" Matthew 24:36

Because it's only JEHOVAH (the father) who causes to become or has the right to decree what will happen. Jesus can't share such with God that's why he said:

“Father, if you want to, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.” Luke 22:42

Only JEHOVAH has the final say nobody can share that with Him! smiley

The power was GIVEN to Jesus so that all other creatures both in heaven and on earth must obey Jesus (if they want to continue living) he must return all authority back to his father and God {1Corinthians 15:27-28} so even in heaven where Jesus is right now he is still under the authority of his father who gave him the power to control all His inheritance!

Jesus is not among other gods so the statement that the father is the only true God does not disprove that Jesus is the true God.

Remember, Jesus was speaking as a servant. Since he took the form of a servant he does nothing of himself, it is the position Jesus willingly took.

That is by the way side, if Jesus is a mere creature why would the father give him absolute authority over all creation?

OBEISANCE is for the one who is supreme so since Jesus always do the will of his father he is qualified to lead because whatever orders comes from his mouth is automatically what his father told him.

You have seen several verses pointing to the fact that Jesus is not the same as Jehovah so if you're still interested in your trinity no one is holding you back we have been freed from the lies of trinity Jehovah is One God not three in One! Deuteronomy 6:4 compare to Mark 12:29 smiley
