Correction, Jesus is not the same as or equal to God the Father but He is the same as what God the Father is in essence and attributes. When He was made lower than the angels, naturally He prayed to God the Father.Did you watch that video?

Mike,This is a good translation of Phil 2:6 to show you the view that fits best, imo.Philippians 2:6-11New International Version (NIV)6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God (the Father) something to be used to his own advantage;7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being…[Read more]

Do you understand that I believe that the Son is exactly like His Father in nature and attributes?

The Son doesn't command the Father. The Father has not been begotten by the Son. The Father was not modeled after the Son. The Father could be crucified only if He purposed to do that but He would have to come in the flesh. The Father does not pray to anyone. Why would you ask these questions?

Mike,This context of being 'one' has to do with works/authority:Quote      22At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; 23it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. 24The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long will You keep us in suspense? If You are the Chri…[Read more]

Mike,Jesus was speaking of being in unity in what the followers 'know'…truth in the Father and the Son, not in unity within the highest authority.

This could start a new trend of placing these signs near the tree stands for the hunters

Mike,God Almighty the Son is the one that is the High Priest because He was the only one of the two that humbled Himself to become flesh and was slain. Apart from God Almighty the Son becoming flesh, there would not be opportunity to be mediated for. We all would face eternal destruction.

Quote And as for the nature thing. He partook in our nature and we will get a body like his. He calls us brothers. I don't think worship has anything to do with your nature but who you are.Nature is given for free. Who you are is more important I think because it is a combination of who God made you to be and what choices you have made. If you…[Read more]
