Well shucks! Since I didn't go to preacher's school I just missed out on that
first century Greek-Latin Lexicons and GRAMMARS. Maybe I can buy one from Amazon.
Only when people cannot grasp that there is ONE GOD THE FATHER and Jesus WHOM GOD MADE TO BE both Lord and Christ)
And "There is ONE GOD THE FATHER and one mediator, the MAN Jesus Christ.
The way we engineers people who have to make our products work is we look at the actual text in several versions, find translations in Greek or Latin which no one can miss and get waged for a role Christ failed to ordain in Ephesians 4.
Then we look up and see how words are USED (never defined as in preacher land) in REAL TEXTS: I have access to most of the ancient Greek and Latin texts with translations. Then, to fall into trinitarianism, we would hope that a REAL person would leave a loophole large enough to drive THREE GOD PEOPLE through. Then, we look at historic scholarship and see whether anyone said that Jesus was Jehovah without getting burned: and nope, no one ever debated the clear statements that
The text says that even though God gave Jesus of Nazareth (born of the SEED of Abraham) His full authority.
Satan tempted Jesus to EXERCISE that authority.
Jesus responded that the WORD of God is the ONLY spiritual authority.
The Spirit OF Christ in the Prophets told preachers that IF they do not SPEAK that word THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEM
Enthroned and Glorified, Philippians 2:9-11
A. "Therefore" (because he humbled himself) God highly exalted him, 9.
B. "Given a name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow," 9-10 and Romans 14:11 -
Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived,
......that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother?
......or why dost thou set at nought thy brother?
......for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord,
......every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue
shall confess to God.
Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of
himself to God.
Now, look at the CONTEXT of Isaiah who also said that it was not GOD who created the unholy mess in Genesis
Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near;
......yea, let them take counsel together:
......who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time?
......have not I the
LORD [Jehovah]? and there is no
God else beside me;
......a just God and a
Saviour; there is
none beside me.
I didn't need to consult another preacher to understand NONE BESIDE ME.
Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:
......for I am
God, and
there is none else.
Now, without upsetting people with quotes from higher level scholarship:
Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by
myself, the
WORD [Dabar, Logos]
......and is gone out of
MY MOUTH in righteousness, and shall not return,
......That unto
ME every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
ONLY AFTER JESUS FULFILLED GOD'S MISSION: Jesus said that HE did not speak on His own; the Father breathed (spirit) and Jesus ARTICULATED. Jesus was therefore NOT Jehovah God.
The, after the changed Jesus assumed the COMMISSION as Holy Spirit enthroned as God's RIGHT HAND did Paul say
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore
God also hath
highly exalted him,
......and
given him a name which is above every name:
Philippians 2:10 That at the
name of
Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven,
......and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Philippians 2:11 And that every tongue should confess
......that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
OTHER EXAMPLES:
Jesus in the
flesh was the SEED of Abraham and David: Jesus was/is NOT Jehovah.
Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself,
......The
LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Acts 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
......that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have
crucified,
......both Lord and Christ.
