1 | How can the Son at the end be subject be | 1 Cor 15:28 | SeekTruth | 228572 | ||
Most assuredly, Jesus is God. The Son is the Father manifest in the flesh. The Father is not the Son, but He is in the Son. There lies the difference. And, Jesus was certainly not praying to Himself. Jesus was fully man, and as a man He had to pray to the Father. You'll find that there's a lot of common ground between us when we explain that. The difference comes where you say it's the second person praying to the first person, whereas I say it's the humanity praying to the Father. I don't expect you to really understand that at this point, for it involves a lot more background for you to grasp what I'm trying to say, especially since you're thinking with a trinitarian view point. God bless. |

seektruth (and unable to find it) says: Most assuredly, Jesus is God. The Son is the Father manifest in the flesh. Answer : Nowhere does Scripture say that the Father was manifest in the flesh. It says GOD was manifest in the flesh, and then finally taken up in glory, clearly referring to the SON in distinction from the Father.. seektruth (but unable to find it) says: The Father is not the Son, but He is in the Son. There lies the difference. Answer: your statement is correct although not in the sense in which you mean it. It is true that the Father is not the Son. There are personal distinctions within the Godhead. It is true that the Father is in the Son, and that the Son is in the Father, for they are one God and in constant inter-communication. The difference lies in the fact that they intercommunicate and inter-react. seektruth (but unable to find it) says: And, Jesus was certainly not praying to Himself. Jesus was fully man, and as a man He had to pray to the Father. Answer: Jesus was fully man, but He was more than fully man. He was God become man. Thus while our human spirit manifests itself through our body, in His Case it was His divine Spirit which was manifest through His body. Thus when Jesus prayed to the Father, it was God speaking to God. |
