How can the Son be the Father either in the Godhead or even among human beings? DO YOU SEE THE ABSURDITY OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID? And quoting from John 14 shows that you are unable to rightly divide the Word of Truth. Anyway, I'm done with this silliness.

Philippians 2:58
The passage begins by saying, "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus." This means that we should think and act like Jesus did. Jesus was humble and selfless, and he always put the needs of others before his own.
The passage then goes on to say, "Who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped." This means that Jesus, who was fully God, did not cling to his power and authority. Instead, he was willing to give up everything for the sake of humanity.
The passage next says, "But emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men." This means that Jesus took on the form of a human being, and he lived a humble life. He was not concerned with his own status or power, but he was instead concerned with serving others.
The passage finally says, "And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." This means that Jesus was willing to die for the sake of humanity. He was obedient to God's will, even when it meant facing death.
Philippians 2:5-8 is a powerful passage that calls us to be more like Christ Jesus. We are called to be humble and selfless, putting the needs of others before our own. We are also called to be obedient to God's will, even when it is difficult.

Sure, here is the scripture passage Philippians 2:5-8:
[5] Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
[6] who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
[7] but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
[8] And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

1 Timothy 3:16: "And without doubt the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up into glory."
These scriptures teach that God came to Earth as a man in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus was fully God and fully man. He came to Earth to live a perfect life and to die on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. Through his death and resurrection, we are offered forgiveness of our sins and eternal life with God
1 Timothy 3:16 KJV
"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."
Explanation
This verse is a summary of the Christian faith, and it encapsulates the mystery of the incarnation. The word "mystery" here does not mean something that is impossible to understand, but rather something that is hidden from natural sight and can only be understood through revelation.
The verse begins by saying that "God was manifest in the flesh." This means that God, who is invisible and spiritual, took on a physical body in the person of Jesus Christ. This was a miraculous event, and it was necessary for God to do this in order to redeem humanity from sin.
The verse then goes on to say that Jesus was "justified in the Spirit." This means that Jesus was declared righteous by God, even though he was sinless. This was necessary because we are all sinners, and we cannot be righteous before God on our own.
The verse next says that Jesus was "seen of angels." This means that Jesus was seen by angels, who are spiritual beings that serve God. This is a reminder that Jesus is not just a human being, but he is also God.
The verse then says that Jesus was "preached unto the Gentiles." This means that the gospel of Jesus Christ was preached to all people, not just to the Jews. This was a radical change from the Old Testament system, in which salvation was only available to the Jews.
How can the Son be the Father either in the Godhead or even among human beings? DO YOU SEE THE ABSURDITY OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID? And quoting from John 14 shows that you are unable to rightly divide the Word of Truth. Anyway, I'm done with this silliness.

I hope this explanation is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Who else would Jesus be if he were not my Lord and My God. Even one of his own disciples recognized this fact.
John 20:27-28
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
