Revelation 3:20
20lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Revelation 3:21
21He who is overcoming — I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne.
Just these two scriptures right here show Jesus using his own will and Him sitting on the Fathers Throne! Jesus is not only at the right hand!
Also in sunday school today we had a great study in James Cha. 5 and we focus on verse 12. The teacher who’s name is Walt went into the culture which is very important. The Jewish leaders had two kinds of Oaths one they can keep (swearing by Heavenly things) the other they could break (swearing by earthly things) if they wanted to! So James Corrects this error. But we need more scriptures, so Walt showed us many passages where God made Oaths and Abraham made Oaths etc! So what does this all mean: Can we or can we not make oaths, marriage vows are a type of oath!
Simply…Yes we can make oaths but you MUST follow through with it even if it may cost you, If you let your Yes mean Yes and your No,No. Then you don’t need all these oaths for this an that but you MUST follow through (Mean What You Say and Do It). However we are all sinful and because of that we do have certian oaths that are good, like (Marriage Vows) (Testimony In Court/Swearing to tell the Truth!). It’s a binding agreement that keeps us sinful people in check to stay on the right course so to speak. But if you tried to build a whole doctrine on this one scripture alone you would make the bible say something it doesn’t (You can NEVER take an oath)! This relates about this topic on the Trinity, the opposing side uses one scripture like 1cor 15:28 and build this whole teaching about Christ yet forgetting to look at the Whole Scope of Scripture/Other Passages.
Why would God tell us to “Test Everything,Hold Fast To The Good” “Contend For The Faith”etc Because God knows His Word can an would be abused/misunderstood in the endtimes by people who should know better!
James 5 (Young’s Literal Translation)
12And before all things, my brethren, do not swear, neither by the heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, and let your Yes be Yes, and the No, No; that under judgment ye may not fall.
1 Corinthians 15:28 (Young’s Literal Translation)
28and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.
