.Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father

Jesus can't be God and also his own Son. Barnes finds himself contradictory in this. Jesus is definitely the Son of God, not God, and his name is higher than anyone on Earth. Everyone will show him the highest respect and honor, with the one exception, of course, being the Father that GAVE Jesus that name and position. The Father is the most high and has always been and always will be. (Psalm 83:18, KJV) Jesus comes in second. He is fine with that.

What is the name above all names?
[And given him a name which is above every name] No other name can be compared with his. It stands alone. He only is Redeemer, Saviour. He only is Christ, the Anointed of God; see the notes at Heb 1:4. He only is the Son of God. His rank, his titles, his dignity, are above all others; see this illustrated in the notes at Eph 1:20-21.
(from Barnes' Notes.)
Outside of Jesus can you do anything to the glory of God the Father? If you are humble and say no then how is it possible that only through Jesus can we bring glory to God the Father?onewithhim wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 9:08 amJesus can't be God and also his own Son.

You will notice in Philippians 2:9,10 that everything associated with Jesus is to the glory of God the Father.
." Anyone can bring glory to the Father if they are following His instructions on living their lives. The Scriptures say that Jesus brought glory to the Father, so are you questioning the Scriptures? God takes pleasure in seeing His friends glorifying Him with good conduct and prayerful attitudes. We don't have to be God to glorify Him.Wootah wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 9:20 pmOutside of Jesus can you do anything to the glory of God the Father?

How can a not God thing bring glory to God the Father?
To make it plain only God can glorify himself and so if Jesus is glorifying God then Jesus must be God.
This seems like a great proof that Jesus is God so I created a new thread: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=41676
