The question of whether Jesus had a will that was "other" than the Father's came up a short time ago;
I believe someone created a thread asking that specific question. Many said, "No." Yet Jesus prayed in the
garden of Gethsemane, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
I realize that does not really answer your question .
. But the fact remains that Jesus submitted in all things.
Not so much as a creaking board, out of plumb rail or loose nail as far as the Lord Jesus was concerned......
Just 100% integrity, soundness and imperturbability all the way around.
Yes I am aware (finally!) of your view on the matter. I think you said you were some kind of annihilationist.God alone is immortal.
Our God is a Consuming Fire
Of course I do not agree. But hopefully further Biblical light will clear the fog.
Annihilation is not the term the Bible uses. Many times we are told the wicked will be destroyed. They perish.
This is most often contrasted with life ever after being given only to those who by grace through faith believe
in the shed righteous blood of Jesus Christ, repeatedly given in a plethora of ways from the beginning of
Scriptures to the end, present even in the best known and possibly most well loved Scripture of all, John 3:16.
John 3:16
Moses represents the law, and Elijah the prophets.
The Bible speaks of 2 beings standing before the LORD of all the Earth which they are probably Moses and Elijah for they are the 2 most important figures representing the law and prophets besides Jesus.
Which John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah, and born of woman there is not a greater than John the Baptist besides Jesus.
Which the Catholic Church gives reverence to Mary but John the Baptist is considered greater than her so where is his reverence.
It is obvious when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity that they did not get rid of their pagan and occult ways but held on to them, and it became their foundation for interpreting scriptures and pagans have a female deity so they have one.
Joseph Smith had a belief that was not part of the Bible and it became his foundation of the interpreting of scriptures the Mormon church.
Same as the seriously flawed churches, Scientology, Christian Science, which are probably forerunners to the new age movement that will eventually deceive the world to follow the New Age Christ and they will stop the preaching of the Gospel, and the belief in a God, on a world wide scale, and then God will end sin on Earth.
They are probably the 2 witnesses that will witness to Israel to turn them to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah.
That is probably why they were at the transfiguration because they are the 2 candlesticks that stand before the LORD of all the Earth.
We are gonna have to agree to disagree on that one sis.....Annihilation is not the term the Bible uses. Many times we are told the wicked will be destroyed. They perish.
This is most often contrasted with life ever after being given only to those who by grace through faith believe
in the shed righteous blood of Jesus Christ, repeatedly given in a plethora of ways from the beginning of

John 3:16
The Apostle Paul concurs with your assessment.....
Rom 7:7
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
I already tipped you off with the Greek terms, and their legit meanings. I would urge you to proceed with that study.
This is a hold up boys. Give me all your false doctrines and no one gets hurt.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
That's because he set aside his own will and did what God wanted him to do.
Not sure why you posted them, but great scripture.
