Bible Question (short): KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS? |
Question (full): Truthfinder, You said: "All through the Greek scriptures, a clear distinction between "God" and "Jesus" is made." But, what is the implications of these scriptures in relation to our "salvation" and Christ being "Lord"?: 1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ–their Lord and ours: Mat 22 41While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42"What do you think about the Christ[4] ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied. 43He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says, 44" 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet." '[5] 45If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms[11:15 NU-Text and M-Text read [kingdom ... has become.] ] of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!" Revelation 17:14 They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings–and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." Revelation 19:16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. But wait one minute, notice that David called Christ Lord and also Rev 19:16 calls Him "LORD OF LORDS". What are the implications? What is the significance? Pastor Glenn |
