So, in reality, what you are trying to teach me is the Son not only sent himself, but he glorified himself as well??
Jesus is the Son, and is sent by the Father.
Jesus is called God, by His Father, as He is the only begotten of the Father.
But to the Son
He says:“Your throne,
O God,
is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness
is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
10 And: “
You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
Hebrews 1:8-10
You forget that God, Elohim is a Plural expression.
Then God said, “Let
Us make man in
Our image, according to
Our likeness; Genesis 1:26
You just can't seem to explain away, this foundational truth.
Jesus is the Lord God who is coming at the end of the age with the saints.
Thus
the Lord my God will come, a
nd all the saints with You. Zechariah 14:5
14 Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold,
the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, Jude 14
God the Father, sends God the Son, with the saints, from Heaven to earth to reign as King over the whole earth.
This is the Day of the Lord, the Day of Christ, the Day of God.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive
and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive
and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-18
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though
the day of Christ had come. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2
Jesus is The Lord of the old testament, and is our God and Savior.
Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our
God and Savior Jesus Christ: 2 Peter 1:1
and Paul confirms -
looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Titus 2:13
Jesus Himself makes this same claim, about Himself.
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM. John 8:58
If you don't believe He is God and came from Heaven to earth, as God, who became flesh to die for your sins, then you will die in your sins.
And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins;
for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” John 8:23-24
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward
is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Revelation 22:12-13
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lamp stands
One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair
were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet
were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance
was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid;
I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. Revelation 1:12-17
‘These things says
the First and the Last,
who was dead, and came to life: Revelation 2:8
