    Note the change of subject to the character and qualifications of the opponent? One fallacious argument after another.

    The second person of the Trinity, before the incarnation, was sent by the Father.

    1John 4:9
    By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.

    do you believe in the eternal subordination of Jesus Christ to the Father, in the Godhead?

    Jesus Christ Speaks in Isaiah 48 as YHWH. And says that "YHWH Adoni" is sendind Him and the Spirit.

    2 Samuel 23:2, clearly shows that "The Spirit of YHWH", is Himself YHWH.

    We have THREE distinct Persons Who are called YHWH!

    Here is the Biblical rebuttal.

    Jesus was and is Not the father, as that would be Oneness heresy!

    Jesus was stating there that when you see Him, see his works and words and deeds, you are seeing what the father himself would be, as both are equally Yahweh!

    Indeed, Jesus was saying to Philip, that His own Authority is 100% EQUAL to the Father, as He also says in John 10:28-30.

    There is One God in three persons.

    To deny what Jesus said is to place Jesus as not coequal with the full glory of and authority of God.

    For a time, the Lord Jesus Christ set aside His Glory and took the form of humankind. However, at no time was the Christ any less God or any less human.

    The obedience to the Father may suggest to some that Christ was in some manner subject to the Father. Not true, but being in Human form, He brought all aspects of the human under the authority of the Father, just as we must. Such was a demonstration to those who would follow Him. Submission then glorification.

    Yes, as he is the visible image of the invisible God, so Jesus was saying and doing same things as His father would be about doing!

    John 5:16-18

    And therefore the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now, and I work. Then, because of this, the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the sabbath, but also said that God was His father, making Himself equal with God

    Only during the time while Jesus agreed to accept limitations imposed upon him in the Incarnation

    No, Jesus is God, just as the Spirit and Father are God.

    Nothing was "imposed" on Jesus by the Father, as Paul says in Philippians 2:7, "ἀλλὰ ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσεν" (Jesus emptied Himself), or as Weymouth rightly says in his NT, "He stripped Himself of His glory"

    Van, this verse refers to the One God, not the Father.

    Indeed, the Lord Jesus Christ humbled Himself, the Father did not humble Him.

    the fact that it says that "God has sent His only Son into the world", this can only mean here, that GOD is the Father

    “Theos” is God.
    “Abba” is Father.

    Abba is only occasionally used in comparison to Theos.

    The trinity agreed together and the Son was birthed. The trinity continued even when the Son took on human covering.

    Note: I understand and have taught concerning the “eternal sonship;” however, the OT presentations of the Lord do not readily lend themselves to a Father Son relationship.

    I will not strive for or against the thinking.
