"In the beginning" says God's word {John 1:1} that shows someone has a beginning definitely not the Almighty God! smiley

The WAS is in the imperfect tense. By using the imperfect tense, John is conveying that the Word's existence was not a fleeting moment or a point in time with a beginning. Instead, it suggests a continuous existence in the past, before the creation event described in Genesis 1:1 (which is echoed by "In the beginning..."wink.

Just make research.

Here's what Jesus HIMSELF said:
"No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again."
You can then go ahead to say He was lying
This is what his disciples said:

During his life on earth, Christ offered up supplications and also petitions, with strong outcries and tears, to the One who was able to save him out of death, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear. Hebrews 5:7

Did they lied that Jesus BEGGED God with outcries and tears to save him from death? smiley

The WAS refers to the time he walked the earth just like Moses who served as God for a period of time.

Even if we give you a benefit of a doubt🤨, you can't dismiss his statement of "I am". He asserted that before Abraham was, "I am"! What other clarification do you want?

That's the principle ordained for men!🤨 Sha we now call Jesus incapable because he was subject to gravity😁? Your point is totally irrelevant as long as you are flesh and blood, you are subject to certain principles.

"I existed before Abraham"

That's what he meant but since you guys want to turn it upside down i will stick to the part that says God sent him which is clear enough at least someone sent him! smiley

'You are my God and Lord🤔' also says the scriptures! You can't cherry-pick one aspect and negate others!

He is God's son and also has the 'fullness of God'—🤨I wonder if I had the fullness of Messi, I would have won the same number of Ballon d'ors🤔 yet someone has the fullness of God🤨 and some say he is not God?

Is 1kg not the same irrespective of the substance within? Let us know Wise elder, how your shambolic explanation came to be!

This is some argument going on..

This is how you know a lie...a lie so captivating. It is called a "go spel"....

They really don't want to accept the fact that Jesus is "made in Rome" The Roman own the patent right to Jesus. So if you want to believe...go ask them.

By divine here, we mean "of same substance as God". Angels were not. Jesus is.

So what we have is Jesus (who obviously knows 100%) saying declaratively that he was laying down his life and would also take it up. Then we have his disciples, who, like all humans, can't know the true nature of God (you can actually say they know almost nothing)

So we then conclude that Jesus was lying, and His disciples (who know almost nothing - to the extent of competing who would sit on his right hand) were right. Okay o

My friend it is beyond our (and the disciples') capacity to understand!! He was raised by the Father but he and the Father are one thus there's no difference between "raised himself" and "raised by the Father"!

Have it anyhow you wish.

Jesus told us that his father is GOOD this means the father is faithful always so when Jesus took the form of a lesser being by becoming human it's due to what happened in the court of heaven where God declared among the angels:

"Who will go for us?" Isaiah 6:8

That's when Archangel Michael stood up {Daniel 12:1} among all the heavenly hosts and said "here i am send me" {Isaiah 6:8} Jehovah love His firstborn son so much yet he released him for the mission.

So when Jesus talked about laying down his life and taking it back again he was referring to what he did before leaving heaven because from that moment his memories was wiped out and he was turned into an embryo in the womb of Mary.
All his memories was restored the very day he got baptized that's why he stayed 40 days and 40 nights receiving instructions on how his journey will be.

These are the things he summed up and say he laid down his life for mankind the same creatures he loved so much out of all the things God used him to make! Proverbs 8:31

But as for his life it's in the hands of God whom he surrendered to at death! Luke 23:46 smiley

You are saying what you don't know and lack the capacity to know - just as the disciples could never have known what they were asking for when they were asking to sit at Jesus' right hand.

Note the tense in John 10:18. He was talking of something that is yet to happen not choice he already made.

As for angel Michael, I actually googled it. See below

Here are His EXACT words (let's limit it at words from Jesus Himself since His disciples can't know better than Him):
"NO ONE takes my life from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again."

Let's study that and see if there is any indication in that statement that He lacked the capacity to resurrect Himself
