Trinity DebateTitus 2: 13Aieno Wrote: “But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined… For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. Isaiah 9:1:2, 6-7 Isaiah says that a child is born who is also a Son that shall be called the Mighty God and everlasting Father. Isaiah 9:6 - a woman shall bear a son called Emmanuel ("God is with us") Aieno Wrote: "but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe". Hebrews 1:2 Hebrews 1:2 says that the worlds or universe was made by the Father THROUGH his Son. Aieno Wrote: Lets take a look at the passage. "After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: ‘Father, the time has come. Glorify YOUR SON, that YOUR SON may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people THAT HE MIGHT GIVE ETERNAL LIFE TO ALL THOSE YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I HAD WITH YOU BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN … For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me … All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come TO ME through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name - the name you gave me - so that they may be one AS WE ARE ONE … My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you ARE IN ME AND I AM IN YOU. May they also be IN US so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I IN THEM and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them AND THAT I MYSELF MAY BE IN THEM.’" John 17:1-5, 8, 10-11, 20-26 From the above passage we can come to the conclusion that; Jesus is God’s Son. Jesus gives eternal life to all that God gives him, which is a claim to being absolute Deity since only God can give eternal life. Jesus existed in glory with the Father even before the world was created. Jesus demands to be glorified by God, something which no mere creature could ever demand. Jesus states that everything that the Father has belongs to him, which makes him the heir of everything that exists. Jesus indwells all the believers, an indication that Christ is omnipresent and therefore God since God alone is omnipresent. Jesus is the object of the Father’s love even before the creation of the world. |
