If Jesus is mediator between God and man, should the mediator be worshiped? Should he be Divinized?
Is this what Jesus intended, his own glorification?
Even if Jesus is mediator between God and man..

Even if Jesus is mediator between God and man..
Post #1 My theological positions:
-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.
I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.

Post #21Great so when Jesus performed miracles as the Bible reported then you believe that is what the Bible says. Do you believe men can perform miracles?
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

Post #23I'm a Christian. Of course I support the claims in the Bible.

Then you must agree with 1 Timothy 2:5 which Elijah John has already referenced in post number 12. If you disagree with that, then I repeat that your argument is with the Bible, not me.

Mediator simply means that if you want to meet God then you need to come through Jesus. It doesn't answer the question of how Jesus will broker peace between you and God.

Post #28My understanding of the word mediator is totally irrelevant to the claims the Bible makes. Why do you continue to disagree with it?Wootah wrote:What does mediator mean to you?

Clearly your understanding of the word disagree is not mine. Think on that.
I don't feel you are debating this topic.
