Bible Question:
Dear Nolan, If you believed in Holy Trinity could please explain these verses John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. are they truly equal? Johnny |
Bible Answer: Hi Johnny, Great post. Of course the Father is greater than the Son. He gave (which in itself tells us he is greater) his Son "things", such as authority, kingship, judging power, but that in no way then make him (Jesus) greater than him. Wow what nonsence! It's like talking to a wall, to some on this forum. All through the Scriptures there a comparision between "God" and Jesus. Jesus' God. etc. Tara1 |
