so if peter was working for satan or was considered satan by jesus why would JESUS be telling him satan wants to sift him like wheat.
sorry but you only pick and choose you need to look at the context and the bigger picture.
umm JESUS is more than a hand...but you are correct JESUS on his own can`t do anything this is 100% correct...JESUS and the scriptures dont deny this fact that is why JESUS reaptedly states
I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. john5:30
no one is deny that its GOD the father who is the one who is calling the shots but just picture it like this if GOD the father is the brains and jesus is his word they work together the mind thinks and the word speaks so therefore jesus is apart of GOD just like when you think and speak your mind and words work together to get your message across that is how god the father and JESUS work together.....this means your words are apart of who you are and jesus is apart of who GOD is.
no it doesnt mean he is not GOD (why dont you understand) he knows that GOD the father is the brains behind the operation so he is the good one because he is the one with the ideas so jesus is giving credit where credit is due.... but that in no way takes away from his divinity at all because jesus (being the word of GOD) makes those thoughts of the father come into existance...its like when you think your thoughts remain in your head until your word bring it into existance thats how it is with god the father and jesus he thinks and jesus brings it into existance.
look visions how can you believe what I tell you if you dont believe in the very words in the bible when it talks plainly about the trinity..if you dont believe in that how can you believe what I say.
It`s been a nice build though.:frusty:
peace be with you !
