Mittens wrote:Doesn't my favorite three scriptures in the Bible from Phil, 2 Cor and Hebrews teach Jesus laid aside his great power and came into this broken world in servant form ?
Again--That's all fine, Mittens--but it does not address my question, in my opinion.
How are you relating any of this to the fact Jesus Christ was the Heir--and received His inheritance of all things from His God and Father?
Heirs are those who inherit--which means there was a point they did not possess the inheritance.
If Christ possessed all things from the beginning--then why need He to inherit all things?
Hebrews 1:1-9---King James Version (KJV)
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
