God has no beginning. If Christ is the First, he is the first what? In Heb 1: 5-6, notice that the Father and Son relationship occurs twice; once in the beginning and again when the Son became human. " And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son, And again, when He bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. The first-begotten was begotten again and worshiped again when he became human. The Father has put all creation under the Son's feet and has made him Lord and God of all creation in our reality. Please explain this.


Excellent questions!

I'm going to hang back for now to see where this goes.
 
God Almighty can not be sent by anyone. If anyone is sent, He is the sender. Jesus was in heaven with the Father when he was sent by Him to become a man and die. Jesus kept on saying that he was sent by the Father to complete a mission. According to Jesus, his bread was to do the Father's will. It seems that there is someone in charge, and it's not Jesus.

that is ridicules. Jesus said know man take my life I lay it down freely and have the power to take it up again. ALL Power and Authority has been given to HIM Therefore IF God gave that too HIM then HE has the same Power and Authority as the Father. It is very taxing those on CC allow people to come on here and openly Insult the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is not in charge what profaning language from one who will be bowing and calling HIM Lord. Arrogance.
 
Even before he became a man he submitted to the Father because he was sent by the Father while in heaven with Him. Concerning John 1: 1, our reality is in the mind of the Father because that is how He has all those godly attributes. A God that has always existed and transcends time must must have created many realities. Ours is just one of many. In our reality He placed a being in it and called him His Son. According to Isaiah 63: 9-10, the Holy Spirit is referred to as "the angel of His presence". Angel because he can be sent, and where the Holy Spirit is, the Father is. The Holy Spirit is a portal through which the Father can enter the being indwelled in order to direct, speak through, enlighten, motivate, and empower to perform His will. When you have a vacuum with nothing in it and nothing happening, time does not exist. Time in our reality started when the Son was brought into existence because now there is a before and after him. The Father fills His Son with His Holy Spirit which means that the Father resides in His Son's being. The Father is the invisible God and the Son is the image of the invisible God in our reality because even though the Son has a different will, the Son obeys the Father. The Son is the Lord and God of our reality, but the Father is the Lord and God of all realities, including ours. In John 16: 13, John 12: 49, and John 14: 7-11, the Holy Spirit and Jesus speak the words of the Father. Jesus is in the Father because he is in the Family of the Father. The Father is in His Son because the Son is filled with the Holy Spirit of the Father (the Father's presence). We are in the Son because we are part of the Son's glorified body (the Church) who have received the Holy Spirit. When Jesus ascended back to the Father to get glorified, he received a spiritual body composed of people chosen by the Father and baptized with the Holy Spirit by the Son. When we get baptized by the Son with the Holy Spirit , we receive a portal through which the Son can enter our beings. Since the Father is in the Son, both enter our beings. Just as Christ is one with the Father because the Father is in Christ, we become one with both the Father and the Son because both are in us (those saved).

...more or less.

Settle down old man. ;)

It's not clear if he's searching for truth or just troll baiting but he's not disparaging the Lord with his observations.

In this passage...

For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

...how do you explain being subject to God?

Please note: humility may also make one who is greater a servant. It is not always an issue of power.

That may be true yet from what I see in the resent post from any there is a calculated attack by many on CC who speak profaning about Jesus. and Use very common word and terms and phrases in context to the Lord. Would you go to a mosque and do that and speak ill of Mohammad? No. One comes to CC and its ok because he may be seeking? No. Your an adult and need to be respectful and come on CC and Attack our Lord should not be tolerated for the sake of intolerance.

The starting place is the study on the deity of Jesus.
If you want every one on the board to freak out , point them to 'The Father has elevated the Son to the Highest place.'

If you remove the co equal dynamic then confusion will take over.

Nobody can fully get the mental picture.
We put the trinity components on the table and from there we see what can and can't be said.

We embrace it by faith.
I don't have to know every dynamic to embrace the trinity.
Embrace it or be lacking.

What you have said is very true. Why? The human intellect cannot fully comprehend the divine nature of God outside of the boundaries he himself had provided. Those of us on this side of heaven are limited.

Some will even claim that the Holy Spirit will provide greater insight to those to know more than any other as like some kind of special revelation. That is not true

There is special revelation that is provided to all and its the word of GOD, There is General revelation also for all which is through Creation or what God created. And finally by Illumination by the relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

We all have the same measure but you must grow by studying he word of GOD and faith.

1 John 4:2-3
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

Bah, the Lord can take care of Himself. Unlike Allah and the Roman Catholic god.

"Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”

When JESUS was on this earth, he was 100% man and 100% GOD.

The Word of God states otherwise :

Philippians 2:7

New Living Translation
Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form,

King James Bible
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Amplified Bible
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].

Weymouth New Testament
Nay, He stripped Himself of His glory, and took on Him the nature of a bondservant by becoming a man like other men.

witness...

John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

Isaiah 53:3
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

Hebrews 2:14-17
Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil, / and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. / For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham. ...

Romans 8:3
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

Isaiah 42:1
“Here is My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to the nations.
 
God Almighty can not be sent by anyone. If anyone is sent, He is the sender. Jesus was in heaven with the Father when he was sent by Him to become a man and die. Jesus kept on saying that he was sent by the Father to complete a mission. According to Jesus, his bread was to do the Father's will. It seems that there is someone in charge, and it's not Jesus.
Part of a soul is its desires. And if they have the same desires of another, that means they're one only in spirit but not in body. That everybody has a different weakness that's being caused by something to make us unequally yoke. Like a married man may have a different desire from his wife that's keeping them separated spiritual, that he can be easily tempted to stray away from his wife.
But Jesus is spiritually in tune with God that both has the exact same qualities as if they're one person.
God doesn't want us to make any engrave images of the heavens above or beneath the earth because He wants us to see Him as the way He wants us to see Him.

John 14:9
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Matthew 4:1
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

Matthew 6:13
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.’

Matthew 26:41
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

James 1:13
When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.


2 Corinthians 5:7
For we live by faith, not by sight.
 
God has no beginning. If Christ is the First, he is the first what? In Heb 1: 5-6, notice that the Father and Son relationship occurs twice; once in the beginning and again when the Son became human. " And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son, And again, when He bringeth in the first-begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. The first-begotten was begotten again and worshiped again when he became human. The Father has put all creation under the Son's feet and has made him Lord and God of all creation in our reality. Please explain this.

He is the first human to be glorified after rising physically from the dead. The first-begotten (from the dead) is what Jesus was intended to become, and it is quite plausible that the writer of Hebrews is ascribing His title at the time of writing to the same person at His birth. Rahab is called Rahab the harlot even after she had given up harlotry. Simon the zealot was referred to as Simon the zealot after he had left political activism. Simon the leper was referred to as Simon the leper, even after he was healed by Jesus.

13 ... even the Son of man which is in heaven.

A parable about the heavens as heights of DISCERNING Spiritual Truths, not some celestial residential area as you falsely believe.

All Faithful Believers can be both in the Heavens in Spirit and on earth in a flesh body at the same time.

Here is PROOF :

Revelation 1:10
9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, AND in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me

>>>> A Spirit parable about John being a companion to the Faithful who are given this revelation "for the word of God,".

WOW..... I shared this verse, so that readers can see for themselves that translations are not infallible and you ate it all in; hook, line and sinker. Like the command to not add nor subtract words, to the word of God just does not exist.

Seeing that Amplified translation will have all those in Spirit skipping over the added carnal words that causes stumbling block in discerning this Spiritual Truth.

Amplified Bible
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].

>>>> Do you have any clue on how these [ ], { } , ( ) ... are used !?!

This is how it is written down on the ancient Greek copies from the original manuscripts :

[and] being made γενόμενος (genomenos) Strong's 1096. ginomai

in the likeness ὁμοιώματι (omoiōmati) Strong's 3667. homoióma

of men. ἀνθρώπων (anthrōpōn) Strong's 444. anthrópos

As you can see there is no Greek translations for the spurious passage of, [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man].

I don't think, I know Jesus became perfect through suffer, not through being born flesh.

Jesus is restored through Spirit

Also this verse is a must read for you :

John 17:5
And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

Amplified Bible
Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory and majesty that I had with You before the world existed.

witness...

Matthew 25:31
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.

>>>> Here is a Spiritual Truthful correction, one that even your OWN Spirit will agree with, but your carnal mind can not accept :

Stated incorrectly : he was 100% man and 100% GOD. (This gives the expression: Jesus was man100% and was God 100%)

Spirit Truth : Jesus was 100% man and and NOW is 100% Spirit as God is Spirit. Jesus and God are of the SAME one Spirit, ALL in ALL

1 Corinthians 15:28
Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

You can sit on the fence all you want, but sooner, you will see that door shut on you, as you gnash your teeth. "why did I not listen and repent from carnal knowledge". :)

Matthew 7:21
21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

22Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

24“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

25and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

28And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,

29for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

It’s unfortunate that in all seriousness I have to ask the question, are you using AI to study the bible?

First, they are both one and the same. Second, if the father was above the son, that changed at the resurrection. Jesus said all power in heaven and earth was given to him. Just as Jesus said, whoever wished to be the greatest in heaven will have to be the greatest servant on earth.

If you still struggle with this, I ask, what image of God is greater; A God that cannot be tempted OR a God who set aside his power, came to Earth as a corruptible person, was tempted in every possible way, felt every pain any person has felt, and remained uncorrupted before dying in our place. Then after his resurrection, instead of being prideful, it says he has compassion on us knowing first hand the struggles we face.

28And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,

29for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

No reason to be rude,

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

JESUS was 100% man and 100% GOD.

Noooooooooo, that is not what it is saying.

He came down from heaven. He ascended up to heaven. He is ["currently"] in heaven. (At the time the verse was written.)

Not saying it necessarily changes anything - just saying that is not what the verse is saying or indicates. ;)
