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.
I told you the word translated as serve in reference to Jesus in Daniel 7vv14 is not obeisance. Why don't you check it up yourself? It is service offered only to Jehovah.

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
Neither did I say Jehovah is three gods in one.
However, that does not mean we should close our eyes to the truth.

A king must be served that's why they're called "LORD" so if Jesus is King of God's kingdom he will surely be served just like other kings.
The truth remains that Jesus is not the Almighty God who asked Jesus to sit at his right hand! Psalm 110:1 smiley

It's not my personal opinion.

Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

The revelation of Jesus that the God Almighty gave Jesus, Revelation 1:1 & John 17:7.
The God Almighty OWNS the Revelation given to His son, Jesus.

you mean Jehovah confered all his power to a creature? I thought you quoted Jehovah saying he does not give his glory to another.

Isaiah 42:8 Jehovah God does NOT share His glory with Idols & pagans, unbelievers.
Referenced as "another" in Isaiah 42:8.
John 17:7,22,24, Jesus Christ shares his Father's glory with the disciples/co rulers in heaven.

No it means Jesus was truly human


No,Sir.

John 15:15 & Matthew 6:9, in heaven Jesus Christ learnt how to pray & was taught by God his Father.
On earth he passed on the teaching that God taught him (Jesus).

Steep:


Philippians establish the fact that Jesus was not originally a servant.
It is not humility for a servant to uphold his servanthood but for a king to become a servant that is true humility.
The bible is clear that angels are servants.
Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?


An angel said to John that he is just a servants like John and other apostles and prophet

Revelation 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.


Matthew 20:28 & Hebrew1:14 ,is Jesus Christ a ministering spirit in human form?
Yes!
Is Jesus Christ a servant of God's in the spiritual realm.
Revelation 3:2,5 confirmed that.
Yes !
Oga, please don't DECEIVE YOURSELF. grin grin

Steep:

Jesus told you that the father does not judge anybody but has committed all judgment to the son meaning Jesus has final say over all things.

Oga,When did giving someone an assignment to perform for you meaning that he has final say?

John 7:16
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Janosky: 10:42pm On Jun 20, 2023
Steep:
yes the father gave the son power to do Judgment.

The issue is, if Jesus has the final say over all things as given by the father, doesn't this mean God sharing his glory over all things?

I never said Jesus is never the servant of God. Jesus is the servant of God because he took that position.

The father is the only true God in contrast to other gods human worship.
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.

The apostles and angels also worship Jesus and confessed him as God in flesh.

Oga Steep is a polytheist who claims he Worship the only true God and another true God.

Oga, continue DECEIVING YOURSELF..

you seem not to understand what is at stake. We are talking about position that only God has. If Jesus had the position whether he earned it or not, it does not matter.



Jesus said all Judgments has being committed to him this is lifestyle but absolute authority he also said that whatever he locks no body can open and whatever he opens no body can lock meaning he is absolute authority over all creation.

1 Corinthians 15:24-27 & 1 Corinthians 11:3, Oga Steep, where is your absolute authority coming from?
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Janosky: 10:48pm On Jun 20, 2023
Steep:
conferring titles is not the same as having absolute power.




God gave authority to Moses over pharoah is not the same as giving Moses absolute power. Jehovah alone has absolute power.

Jehovah alone has absolute authority, power over Jesus.
Oga, is this fact clearer to you?
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Janosky: 11:01pm On Jun 20, 2023
Steep:

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.


@John 15:15, in heaven,Jesus Christ is receiving instructions and teachings from God his Father, but you doubt that he is a servant in heaven.
Steep:


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


It pleases the God his Father to grant Jesus that privilege.

Steep:


To the extent of commanding angels and all men to worship Jesus?
@ Matthew 4:10, Jesus Christ says you are on your own. cheesy

MaxInDHouse who is the Son of man in Daniel 7 :13? Jehovah or Jesus?

Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

@ Daniel 7:14, son of man references Jesus Christ.

It is not obeisance, it is to serve.
So how come Jesus is receiving the same service reserved only for Jehovah?
Note this type of services is only rendered to Jehovah.

Oga, the screenshots PROVEN you are TWISTING the holy scriptures and at the same time, TWISTING the word "serve" which means deep respect and admiration."

Actually Hebrews disproved the idea that Jesus is an angel.
Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Revelation 3vv 2,5 was after Jesus had willingly taken up the form a servant.

The word translated as "serve " is peculiar to service to the only true God, not kings.

There two word translated as serve in the old testament one is general service to both men, and true God but the second is strictly the true God.

So all worshipers are to face Jehovah with their petitions {Matthew 6:6; Philippians 4:6} just as Jesus also approach God with his own petitions {Hebrews 5:7} but when talking about how to do Jehovah's will we must all congregate in the name of Jesus who will join and lead us {Matthew 18:20} in the worship of our God and father JEHOVAH!

Stephen was looking at Jesus standing at God's right hand, the person he could relate with in that scenario is Jesus whom he knew face to face as one of his disciples.

So he talked to Jesus just as they always do when he was with them but when it comes to prayers Jesus directed all his disciples to pray to God not him! Matthew 6:6

Stephen did not know Jesus face to face, he was not among the disciples who was with Jesus during his ministry on earth.
Why did Stephen choose to commit his spirit into Jesus hands, was he not suppose to follow Jesus example who committed his spirit to Jehovah's hands, Stephen literally saw Jesus standing at Jehovah's right hand side yet choose instead to commit his spirit to Jesus who so?

When Stephen called upon Jesus was he calling upon Jehovah or Jesus?

How many disciples of Jesus did you know?

It was only the names of twelve out of his numerous disciples that were mentioned in the gospels because he made them Apostles {Luke 6:13} so Stephen has been one of those not mentioned by name in the gospels but he was with them all along! Act 6:5-6

Why did the whole Christiandom call upon the name of the Lord instead of the name of Jehovah?
1 Corinthians 1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

Can you give example of the early church call upon Jehovah's name.
