Jesus wasn't Mary's son, never did I say that he was I said he is the son of God since it does state that in the bible and also that he is God in flesh that's why he said in the bible that he didn't see it wrong to be compared to God.
Romans believe that he was the son of Mary, but he wasn't. And also Romans baptize in trinity which isn't right since the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost is one.
Therefore I am not clinging to the roman church paganism. You are since you don't believe that they are one.
my point is THE SON says 'he doesnt know the future' and 'he can do nothing on his own'.
that literally means The Son is NOT GOD at all.
so what christians like you say to worm your way out of this is 'oh he was 50% God 50% man' 'this was Jesus the son of man' talking 'the servant' 'he came to serve' etc, basically just make up a random excuse and run off.
half baked theology.
The SON OF GOD DOESNT KNOW THE FUTURE AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT GOD.
basic deduction, he is NOT GOD.
Romans believe that he was the son of Mary, but he wasn't.
Jesus is literally the son of Mary!!!
he didn't see it wrong to be compared to God.
the statement Paul made, cannot contradict what Jesus said when he outright said he doesnt know the future and it is THE FATHER acting through him.
self-emptying, which Paul referred to, is the act of dying to yourself. in that sense, only the Will of God remains even in your acts..as such, the acts become the act of God..and thus you also become the act of God.
in mystical language, it relates to the Immanence of God and really, is not to be taken literally.
So Jesus saying 'if you have seen me you have seen God' is not literal, it relates to the power acting through him.
your trinitarian beliefs are catholic/roman, protestants didnt leave behind all roman beliefs, they kept some..
and just put things into context.
the guy who shaped protestanism was martin luther, another was king henry 8th.
martin luther used to literally believe the catholic church is 'the whore of babylon' yet thought the pope was the antichrist!!
henry 8th was a lunatic, which everyone knows.
this is where your beliefs have been filtered from.
