Didn't I say that? But not the world or angels now.

Here's what I found out. When there are two nominative nouns with a helping verb (I prefer "reflexive"), the one with the article is the predicate nominative. In the case of John 1:1, "The fact that "word" is articular while "God" is anarthrous makes it clear that John is telling us something...

Interesting...I hadn't heard it said that way before, and none of the English translations I could find did it that way. A German one I looked at did, but German regularly rearranges things.

Do you have a verse to cite?

My point was that our feelings are poor sources of truth. They might be right, but might not. So we have to go back to what God tells us about Himself to be sure. If He can fit a camel through the eye of a needle, then no doubt He can jam a square peg in a round hole. But if He can't do things...

Are you sure? Hebrews 6:18 KJV — That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

I quoted a verse that says Jesus is immortal, and you say I'm not a christian? That amazes me. You say Jesus died in every way a righteous man can die. That's absolutely true. But these are things God can't do. The whole idea that man is really immortal, and can't die like God described in Gen...

...he says while not answering the question.

Why did Jesus descend into hell, where David wasn't?

I thought you said God can't die. Yet now you say Jesus is God. Did Jesus become God after He died? Or was He always God and somehow He died anyway? [1Ti 1:17 KJV] 17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. IMMORTAL. 1. ...

Why do you "feel" that way?

Or God hasn't decided yet when it would be.

That sounds right to me. Jesus was given all power and authority, but not at first. Matthew 28:18 KJV — And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

No, and I understand what you are saying, but there was some event, it seems to indicate, that changed the relationship in some way. I would suggest it was His resurrection, but it might be His ascension. Maybe a combo of the two.

Then you seem to be getting your information from a different source than the passage we're talking about. Remember this is the last verse we duscussed: 1 Peter 3:22 KJV — Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers BEING MADE subject unto him..

What's your point (in this thread, that is)?

Right, where the spirits (angels, authorities, powers) are now subject to Him. Yeah, me too, until I figured out spell check sabotaged me. Meant to say, "Somebody ought to tell them." Iow, how do those spirits (angels, authorities, and powers) know that they are now subject to Christ if no one...

I think you're posting in the wrong thread. 😉

I can see that as a possibility. But the argue weakens with the final verse in the chapter, where the focus returns to actual spirits. 1 Peter 3:22 KJV — Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. Again, they were...

My daughter made me pancakes this morning...sans kitty litter scooper.
