1 | What's Jesus' position? | 1 Cor 15:27 | Ray | 56238 | ||
Hi Stokey, Here are your Scripture references. Please excuse the parentheses which are mine for suggested comparison. Matthew 15:3-6, "And He answered and said to them, "And why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the said of your tradition? For (God) said, 'Honor your father and mother...5 "But you say,"...has been given to God," 6 he is not to honor his father or his mother. And thus you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition." That is an example of the danger of invalidation because of adding to the Scriptures. Psalm 83:18, "That them may know that Thou alone, whose name is the Lord, Art the (Most) High over all the earth." A companion verse could be John 17:3, "And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true (God), and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. I glorified Thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which Thou/ hast given Me to do. And now, glorify Thou (Me) together with Thyself, Father, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was. I manifested Thy/ name..." Matthew 6:9, "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy/ name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven..." [For (Thine) is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen] John 12:28, "Father, glorify Thy name." There came therefore a voice out of heaven: "I/ have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." The multitude therefore, who stood by and heard it, were saying that it had thundered; others were saying, "An angel has spoken to Him." Jesus answered and said, "This voice has not come for (My) sake, but for your sakes." John 17:26, "and I have made Thy name known to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith Thou didst love Me may be in them, and I/ in them." John 10:27,28, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I/ give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. My (Father) who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are *One." The Jews took up stones to stone Him/." 1 John 5:5, "And who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that (Jesus) is the Son of God? This is the *One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ;..." 1 John 5:6, NKJ, "This is He who came by water and blood--Jesus Christ;..." 1 Corinthians 15:27, "For He has put all things in subjection under His/ feet. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, that God/ may be all in all." I hope that these comparisons will help us to see that God is true and that Jesus and the Father are One. 1 John 5:7, "And it is the Spirit/ who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.

2 | What's Jesus' position? | 1 Cor 15:27 | stokeyhk | 56241 | ||
Hi, Ray. I already believe that "God is true and that Jesus and the Father are" one. (John 10:30, 36; 17:20-22) Also, as you quote, I believe that "the head of the Christ is God" and Jesus "will be subjected" to God. (1 Corinthians 11:3; 15:27) But do you believe genuine Christians should 'make known or confess God's name,' Jehovah? (Psalm 83:18; John 17:26, KJV; Hebrews 13:15, NIV) Has the NKJV removed God's name from Psalm 83:18? Stokey |

Hi Stokey, You believe that Jesus and the Father are "one". Are you speaking of one God or one god? For you see, I capitalized the "One" showing His Deity thereby. For 1 Corinthians 11:3 I too see that God is the head of Christ because the passage is talking about the order of authority that needs to be present. But I also see the Headship of Christ here. The Jehovah's Witnesses do not acknowledge the Deity of Christ as for instance you render John 1:1, as "and the Word was a god." I believe that capitalization is a matter of interpretation. I will go with "and the Word was God." For 1 Corinthians 11:3,4 here is my rendering as interpretation using capitalization, for what it is worth. "But I want you to understand that Christ is the Head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying, disgraces his Head." For 1 Corinthians 15:27 "it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to (Him). And when all things are subjected to Him then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him..." The bottom line is "that God/ may be all in all." Notice the capitalization of the Son Himself. I recommend the NKJ and the NASB for you to better understand the interpretation that is naturally established in the Scriptures. The NKJ does not have "Jehovah" in it. However, remember that not everyone who says, "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven. The names of the Lord are many. For instance, Lord God, Lord Jesus, Lord Christ. Paul, in Colossians 3:24 says that it is the Lord Christ/ whom you serve. Even your NWT adds, "Slave for the Master, Christ". I say again, may God be all in all. Jesus made His authority and His name known. From the heart, Ray |
