Jesus Has a God

Did you know that Jesus himself has a God, a Supreme Being, who is Supreme over him? (Scriptures from the American Standard Version unless stated otherwise.) Micah 5:4 - And he shall stand, and shall feed his flock in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God: and they shall abide; for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. Matthew 27:46 - And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mark 15:34 - And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? John 20:17 - Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. Romans 15:6 - that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Chris...

Acts 7:55-59 - Stephen Saw God's Glory

Acts 7:55 - But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, Acts 7:56 - and said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!" Acts 7:57 - But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord. Acts 7:58 - They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. Acts 7:59 -They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!"   - World English . It is sometimes claimed that in these verses, the alleged three persons of the alleged Trinity are seen.   One states : All three persons of the Trinity are present in this narrative, although God mainly functions as a reference point for Jesus. Jesus is shown as having divine standing, the ability to receive souls and forgive sins. The Holy Spirit reveal...

Revelation 10:6 - He Who Created

Is Jesus presented in Revelation 10:5 as being the Creator? Revelation 10:5 - The angel who I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky, Revelation 10:6 - and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it. Revelation 10:6 is sometimes presented as proof that Jesus is the Creator and that Jesus is God Almighty. Actually, Jesus is not mentioned anywhere in Revelation 10. It should be obvious, however, that He by whom the angel swears is not Jesus, but rather it is the God and Father of Jesus. -- Micah 5:4; Ephesians 1:3. What some appear to think, however, is that the voice from heaven spoken of in Revelation 10:4 is the voice of Jesus (Revelation 1:17-19) and then they would associate the One by whom the angel swears to be Jesus, the voice from heaven. There are two suppositions required for this claim: 1) One would have to as...
