No human, No angel, NO created being is capable of being even 2nd to GOD. Only the SON of GOD who emptied HIMSELF can fulfill any role HE so wishes.
And Jehovah God can make anyone He wishes 2nd in command...
Most likely his Father was a Roman soldier.
GOD cannot sin as an example... So, in fact GOD is limited only by HIS perfection. And created beings are not able to do what GOD is capable of doing. And frankly only GOD could do what CHRIST did on the cross without caving in. It would be far too much for any created being to bear and be forsaken by the FATHER during the crucifixion. It couldn't possibly happen. GOD had to do it, and so HE did because GOD is triune... Each being of the whole has HIS part to play... THEY are ONE. THEY are united, and THEY are GOD. There is no competition. There is no tension between them. They know their plan, and CHRIST is the focus. While the FATHER directs the events, The Bible is entirely about CHRIST. Why, how, when, where ---- from Genesis through Revelation.
Not true...God can give anyone He wishes the power to do anything...
And frankly, if God was on that cross/stake, it certainly makes any sacrifice null and void because God cannot/does not die...
Jesus proved otherwise...unlike Adam, he remained faithful to his Father even til death...
No, He didn't...
No, GOD cannot share HIS power with anyone. The FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT are there because they are all eternal, create, and mighty.
As a human, CHRIST simply commended HIS SPIRIT to HIS FATHER.
HE remained faithful because HE is GOD.
Yes HE did.
Where do you think the apostles got their power? SMH
Because he had faith Jehovah would resurrect him...the spirit is no more than the breath of life...
lol...God doesn't need faith...He is the Supreme Being...
They were given the power to heal but not to create and entire Universe. Lucifer didn't even every have that ability and he was in fact an angel.
That is a Witness notion. A living thing cannot exist without its soul, but what GOD creates doesn't vaporize when one dies. https://www.gotquestions.org/human-soul-mortal-immortal.html
CHRIST took on the attributes of a human without sin. And so HE did in fact reveal an illustrative side as HE indeed depended on the FATHER for support as HE had emptied HIMSELF.
Consider this with regard to the Bible.
In the Book of Enoch, the angel Penemue is said to have taught man the art of reading and writing.
This does not conflict with anything I wrote. Human beings learn to read and write. It's an invention, not an instinct. Speech is instinctive.
Sure it does. According to the Book of Enoch, writing was not an invention of man. It was one of the divine secrets of heaven revealed to man by the angels.
According to Greek mythology, fire was a gift from Promethius.
And gets to be chained to a rock and have his liver ripped out by an eagle every day for all eternity for it.
Writing was invented by various societies around the world at various times.
Reading and writing are learned. They're not instinctive. That's a fact you can't get around, especially by pointing to something that was written in the book under consideration.
We’re talking about this is in the context you established, ie Christian belief. And you are incorrect that man is the inventor of writing in Christian belief.
Which doesn't change the fact that writing is an invention. Sumerians and Egyptians had been writing for millennia when the OT was written. Regardless, invented by men or a lesser god, it's still an invention. It has to be taught. If you believe you were created in God's image, then your ability to think and speak shows this. There is nothing that shows writing to be in the image of God other than...writing.
You framed this in the context of Christian belief. The Christian belief is that writing was a divine secret of heaven revealed to man by the angel Penemue. It is not a corrupt invention of man and this event pre-dates civilization. I’m just correcting your misunderstanding of what the belief is.
Yes, the belief that we are created in the image of God.
Yes, I get that. It's irrelevant to the argument. I have no way of testing this other than the very written word you use as its own test. I can test whether thought and speech are created in the image of God. We each are endowed with thought and speech. No one has to be taught to think and speak. I don't need any written words to know this.
In the belief system, reading and writing are presumed to be an invention of God along with the spoken language. So, along your reasoning, the ability to learn and do these things is an innate artifact of being formed in the image of God and according to the belief the original values were divine.
Hercules eventually came around and freed him.
Belief is all it is.
Man invented writing.
Still just a belief.
Maybe, but you’ll never find the empirical evidence to prove it. That is just your belief.
The fact that cave paintings and ancient writings have been found, it's obvious man developed writing as a form of communication. There is no evidence a deity had anything to do with it.
