You unfortunately did not understand what Hebrew 1:3 says
Who being the brightness of his glory, and 👉the express image of his person,👈
The word translated here as person, can also be translated as “essence”, or “substance”
🙏

You
Berean, please tell us what the difference of Being someone, and the “essence” of someone means. I know it is a false Catholic “trinitarian” teaching……
Me

You must learn to differentiate between: BEING (THE)GOD AND FATHER
AND THE SON OF GOD THE FATHER WHO IS GOD (IN ESSENCE)We are human because our parents are human
THUS IN THE BIGINNING THE SON OF GOD WAS GOD(DIVINE, GOD IN ESSENCE..)

Berean, as you believe Jesus is a pre-existing God from the beginning you read the passage like this, “with the glory I (a God from the beginning) had with thee, before the world was.

In John 17 why then would we NOT believe that Jesus would be asking God for the very glory that had been with God, foreordained for Jesus to receive, since even before the world was?

Thank you for your answer
As you also know, John baptized with the baptism of repentance all those who came to him and confessed their sins….
Jesus came to John to be baptized with this baptism and the Spirit of the Father communicated to Him that He was indeed His beloved Son ‘in whom I am well pleased.’
It is therefore after the…[Read more]

YHVH made heaven and earth ALONE, all BY HIMSELF, but He fulfills His WORD that was WITH Him from the beginning and IS HIM, ETERNAL LIFE, in Jesus and by Jesus, therefore all things were made by reason of him and for him. He brings forth YHVH to be ALL IN ALL, therefore YHVH made in him all things to consist.

Can you just tell us why Jesus was baptized by John,
He who was without sin?For John baptized with the baptism of repentance, and people confessed their sins….
The texts do not say that Jesus confessed his sins…
So why was he baptized, except to fulfill all righteousness? (Mat.3:15)

I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DOUBT THE FACT THAT THE SON OF GOD AND MAN WAS CONSTANTLY CLOTHED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND MORE PARTICULARLY WITHOUT MEASURE FOR HIS EARTH MINISTRY TO MEN (HUMANITY).

His name is called the word of God because the Spirit of God is upon him making his mouth like a sharp sword where he is able to slay the wicked with the breath of his lips.

In the BIGINNING WAS “THE WORD”
AND “THE WORD”
WAS WITH (THE) GOD
AND “THE WORD” WAS GOD

As always, you quote THE WORD, BUT YOU ADD A FALSE INTERPRETATION.
THE DIVINE SAVIOR EXISTED BEFORE HE CAME TO INCARN ON EARTH
….AND “THE WORD”
WAS MADE FLESH AND DWELL AMONG US….(JOHN 1:14)
And he( Son of GOD) was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is 👉called The Word of God.👈

To all
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
“For God so loved the world,”
the tense used here is in the past tense“that he gave his only begotten son”
When Jesus speaks, he is at the beginning of his earthly ministry.

Hi Gene,
thank you for your answer, but I don’t think your answer is the right one and that’s why I told you that you didn’t answer the Millennium question.
Gene, you seem COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN THAT THIS IS A TIME OF JUDGMENT WITH CHRIST ASSISTED BY THE SAINTS (see v.4)

Hi Carmel
Paul in his epistle to the Ephesians addresses the Ephesians first, but secondly to all Christians.
Paul addresses neither the Father nor the Son.
But he prays to the Father.
I still don’t see the purpose of your posts…
Try to be simpler.
