| Aug 15, 2021 at 9:01 | comment | added | Nigel J | @Austin There is a distinction between a concept which is taken literally (seating in authority, described pictorially as a 'throne') and a concept which is taken physically as in a three dimensional, substantial situation. I take promises literally to be true, but not necessarily as a physical substance. | |
| Aug 15, 2021 at 7:09 | comment | added | Nigel J | @Austin Hmmm. I cannot perceive how the two, so similar, expressions in Hebrews and Revelation could be taken in any kind of relative sense that would make one more or less literal than the other. But I shall have to leave that with you. | |
| Aug 15, 2021 at 6:00 | comment | added | Austin | @NigelJ, perhaps you misunderstand what less literally means. It doesn't mean less true. In this case, just more symbolic as apocalyptic literature tends to be. | |
| Aug 15, 2021 at 5:50 | comment | added | Nigel J | @Austin You clearly have a reason for not accepting the verity of Revelation. I can't help you with that other than to guide you in the direction of Herman Hoskier's invaluable book covering every single manuscript relating to the Apocalypse. Some, of course, will not sit down in that throne : it is only for those who overcome (such things as unbelief). | |
| Aug 15, 2021 at 5:43 | comment | added | Austin | @NigelJ, well that must be a pretty big throne because we all who overcome will be sitting there with Jesus. "21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne." -Revelation 3:21. Being that this takes place in revelation we should take this verse a lot less literally than we do in Hebrews 12:2 and Mark 16:9 that clearly say that Jesus is on God's right hand. | |
| Aug 15, 2021 at 4:40 | comment | added | Nigel J | @Austin I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Revelation 3:21. | |
| Aug 15, 2021 at 2:53 | comment | added | Austin | @NigelJ, notice that Jesus is @ the right hand of the throne of God - Heb 12:2 and not in the throne of God. | |

| Aug 20, 2020 at 5:38 | comment | added | Nigel J | Jesus' statement about being given all power relates to his being God manifest in flesh. It is a question of authority in humanity and we see this when he is received up into heaven and given a place at the right hand of God, on the throne . . . in humanity. | |

| Aug 20, 2020 at 1:30 | comment | added | Jesus Saves | The authority Jesus received indicates he formerly did not have it. One cannot be given authority that they already have. Because the Father gave him this authority, it complements the claim of Jesus that he was going to the Father who was greater (John 14:28). Also, if Jesus is "God eternal" as you claim, how many Gods do you have? | |
| Aug 20, 2020 at 1:09 | comment | added | Steve | "but as God eternal", hence the complication! If he was a man, as the bible consistently informs, then it makes perfect sense that he 'inherits' all things', and is 'exalted over all' etc etc etc and given authority over all too!... a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God J 8:40 | |
