Offices

God manifested in the flesh to do the work of salvation because all man has fallen. He manifested as a result of spoken Word through the prophets.

John 3:16 & Romans 8:3, God sent His son to manifest in the likeness of men.
Is that the rendition in your copy of the holy scriptures. @ John 3:16 & Romans 8:3?
Did Jesus Christ convert Paul?
Yes.
Are the saying the same thing?
Yes


100fix:


Paul said that office was made a little lower than even that of angels. Hebrews 2 v7 kjv.

Don’t argue the Word, you have to accept it if you find it as truth and believe it. If you don’t understand, it’s different but try to be smart and raise dust. There’s no loopholes in the Word. It’s the only perfect Thing. If you have doubts, just know scriptures don’t contradict or cancel scriptures. Jesus said a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand.

The woman at the well when he told her I am He, that settled it for her.

Shalom.

There is no "Offices" @ Hebrews 2;7 nor the original copy of Psalms 8:5.

Oga, nah which verses or chapter you see their Offices?

Again, it does not.

See Philippians 2:6-7. I did the favour of copying the AMPLIFIED VERSION, as it explains things more in lay men terms.

“ Philippians 2:6-17

Amplified Bible
6 who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes—the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it];

7 but emptied Himself [without renouncing or diminishing His deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and His rightful dignity] by assuming the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man].”

The truth is very clear but people keep trying to discredit the bible, though I'm not surprised because the bible in Hebrews said those that left Egypt did not enter the promised land because of unbelief.

So it is clearly there that Jesus did not even grasp to be equal to God.

This is the verse you should pray about. It embodies all you need to know about how these three personalities are connected as 1!

John 15:26

The Spirit of God is not a person my Brother, it's the essence of God Himself. There's only two Beings in the Godhead, Father and Son. Trinity is paganism.

Is God a Trinity?

Many Christian denominations teach that God is a Trinity. However, note what the Encyclopædia Britannica states: “Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.”

In fact, the God of the Bible is never described as being part of a Trinity. Note these Bible passages:
“Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.”—Deuteronomy 6:4.
“You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”—Psalm 83:18.
“This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.”—John 17:3.
“God is only one.”—Galatians 3:20.
Why do most Christian denominations say that God is a Trinity?

My answer to Topic: YES.
THIS TOPIC HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY DISCUSSED OVER MANY YEARS cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry cry

Do you personally believe Jesus is Archangel Michael?
Do you believe the Holy Spirit is just a force or God's "essence"?
IF NO:
I recommend this presentation here:
https:///Apostlearome/1915
Believe or study to refute it; your eyes will have a wider field of view than Encyclopædia Britannica affords you
I hope you have a functional relationship with the [i]person [/i]of the Holy Spirit. Else all these arguments will ride smoothly on our pride and produce quality 2Tim3:7 damned beasts.
May we come to true salvation and the knowledge of the Truth

IF YES:

I hope you meet a calm mature "trinitrant" in person; not one that imported the belief from denomination or parents, but a practising one that 'claims' to have a functional relationship with the 'person' of the Holy Spirit with 'proof' AND is willing to study with you.

grin Then if u are serious about Jesus being THE SON OF GOD then how can Jesus not be God? Since everything gives birth to its own kind? That already means there the two GODs, father and son grin
I'm not disputing the fact that Jesus is like God. Of course, he came out from God, so He should have all the qualities of God. What I'm disputing is here is the narrative that God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is just one Person, serving 3 purposes.
It's against common sense to even imagine that God sends Himself (in the form of the Son) to the world to die for the sins of humankind to appease Himself (Father).

You are right, Jehovah (Jesus Christ) is the son of God. And just as biology teaches you, the son of a lion is a lion.

THE MOST GREATEST CONFUSION WHICH IS GREATER THAN ALL CONFUSIONS ARE :

1. To say Jesus is God , and then find out it in the Bible that he is a man(John 8:40).

2. To say Jesus is God , and then find out it in the Bible that he is son of God(John 3:16).

3. To say Jesus is God, and then to believe that Jesus die (Roman 10:9).

4. To say Jesus is God , and then find out in the Bible that he Jesus is worshipping God(Luke 6:12)

5. To say Jesus is God , and then to find out in the Bible where it's said Jesus is a servant of God (Act 3:13).

6. To say Jesus is sinless, and then to find out that he got baptism by John.

7. To say Jesus is the only way , and then to find out that Moses way is also a way.

8. To say Jesus was sent unto all , and then to find out that he was sent unto the Israelites (Matthew 15:24).

9. To say Jesus is God ,and then to find out that Jesus was circumcised by the Angel(Luke 2:22).

10. To say Jesus know everything ,and then to find out that he doesn't know the when the judgement day will stand (Mark 13:31).

e.t.c.
This is a confusion which beyond human recognition.

1Corinthians 14:33 it's said"God is not the author confusion.

But today I can see uncountable confusion within Christians dogma.

May God Grant them with a knowledge of understanding so that they can easily archive the Kingdom.

Are you saying that the term Trinity does not teach that Jesus is equal to God?
A simple research on trinity can answer that question.
Jesus is equally God with the Father but he is less than the father in authority
Re: Is God A Trinity? by Steep: 4:28am On Mar 20, 2023
Michael548:

The word 'Almighty' means supreme or the highest. Jesus is saying that the Father is the supreme over him. Please this thing is simple English.
The answer to your question is that Jesus, the Father and the holy Spirit has different roles.
The father is the authority of God, he ordains and determines what and what will happen

The word exercises the father's authority and fulfills the father's plan

The holy Spirit brings empowerment


The creation for example was design, planned and ordained by the father but came to being through the agency of the Son speaking them into existence and the holy Spirit enables them to be.

Salvation was the father's design and plan but was fulfilled by the Son and enabled by the Spirit.

The authority of the Son to act and reign as the Christ was derived from the Father, and the Sons kingdom was established to save mankind but would at the end be subject to the Father.

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.

“God is only one.”—Galatians 3:20.

Why do most Christian denominations say that God is a Trinity?

Is God a Trinity? Yes. First, you need to undrrstand that God is not a name but a title just like King or Emperor are titles and not names. God is the creator of the world and mankind.
Now, the first name of God in the Bible is Elohim. It is Elohim who created the heavens and the earth as described in the book of Genesis. Elohim is an hebrew word that is the plural of Eloha. Thatnis why in Genesis 1:26 God said: "Let us make man in our image..." which clearly conveys the plurality in the creator.

God in the Bible is made up of God the Father (Yahweh or Jehovah), God the Son (Jesus Christ) and the Holy Spirit. See 2 Corinthians 13:14, John 1:14, John 10:30 and Matthew 28:19. The oneness of God is the unity of the Godhead; the three in one. And this is supported biblically through the old and new testaments.
