Is it correct that Jesus is in heaven at the right hand of God right now, according to 1 Peter 3:22?
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
2Co 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
The man Christ Jesus is our Savior, for only a sinless man can approach a holy God on mankind's behalf, and open the kingdom of heaven for people.
No man is sinless so God manifest Himself in flesh, which means He gave the fulness of His attributes to the man Christ Jesus, for He is the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and it pleased the Father that in Him all fulness should dwell, and He has the Spirit without measure, and the Spirit in Christ is still connected to the omnipresent Spirit of God for He cannot be separated.
And the man Christ Jesus is the personal human body of God, which He also showed two visible manifestations in the flesh to Abraham, one when He appeared with 2 of His angels, and one as Melchizedek, both in the book of Genesis.
But Jesus is forever where those other manifestations was temporary.
God reconciled the world to Himself in the person of Jesus Christ, God and man in harmony.
Jesus is at the the right hand of God for He is the only way to the Father, for no one comes to the Father but through the Son, and the mediator between God and people.
But many people do not understand what being at the right hand means believing it means that Jesus is sitting on a throne next to the Father.
But this is not true.
Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
There is only one throne in heaven, not two, and it is the throne of God and the Lamb, God in the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus.
The only person we will see in heaven is Jesus, which God said in Isaiah 52:6 that He will reveal a new name to the Jews, and speak to them.
And Jesus told Philip if you have seen Me, then you have seen the Father, for the words that I speak are not My own, but the Father that dwells in Me, He does the works.
To see Jesus is to see the Father, and Jesus is the only visible manifestation we shall see of God.
The man Christ Jesus is our Savior, and mediator, and is the personal human body of God, which He laid down His life for us, and purchased the Church with His own blood.
God is ruling through the man Christ Jesus for the sake of the saints, and that is what it means Jesus is at the right hand of God, not sitting on a throne next to the Father.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Joh 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
Joh 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Jesus is God manifest in flesh, so He does not need power given to Him concerning His deity, so God gave power unto the man Christ Jesus in heaven and earth for He is the Savior of the world.
Psa 110:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Mar 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Heb 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
The man Christ Jesus at the right hand of God is only a temporary position until His enemies are made His footstool, and then the man Christ Jesus shall stop being at the right hand of God.
For Jesus being at the right hand of God is a temporary position, and not Jesus sitting on a throne next to the Father.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1Co 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
The resurrection of the saints has not happened yet, so Jesus is still at the right hand of God.
The Son is at the right hand of God until all things are subdued unto Him, and all His enemies are conquered, and then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto the Father, that God may be all in all.
The Son is at the right hand of God, exercising the throne of power, until His enemies are conquered, the last one being death, and then shall the Son be also subject unto the Father, stop being at the right hand, stop exercising the throne of power, that God may be all in all.
Jesus is not sitting next to the Father on a throne of His own, but is a temporary position, and then when the saints no longer need the Son to be the mediator for them, when all the saints are with Him, and all His enemies are conquered, and all things subdued unto Him, then the Son shall stop being at the right hand of God, that God may be all in all.
God is ruling through the man Christ Jesus for the sake of the saints, and we are still on earth, and all the saints are not with Jesus, and His enemies are not conquered yet, so Jesus is still at the right hand of God.
Why people who claim to be great theologians cannot understand that Jesus is not sitting on a throne next to the Father, and Jesus is the only visible God we will see, does not make sense, especially since they read the Bible a lot claiming to be well read in it.
But denominations rule a lot of people where it is a standard format already laid out for them taught by the Church where they do not have to think about doctrine too much, but go by what has already been laid out for them, so red flags do not come up that contradict what they believe, because they do not notice them, or ignore them, or thinking the interpretation is according to their denomination.
The Bible says when they preach the word of God search the scriptures daily to see if it is right.
