Matthew 28:18
[18]And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Where does that leave the other so called two persons?

    Two persons? I don’t understand the question.

  2. Arthur Adam Haglund says:

    So, I have a companyand I also have incorporated, so the company is, legally, a person for business reasons.
    I give my son charge over all my operations.

    Still mine, I am over him, while he has all the power over it. He can do what he wants.

    Same thing and not difficult to understand.

  3. Tony Mikhaiel says:

    Ahhhh, more people who deny the Trinity.

    It basically means they don’t believe all of scriptures.

  4. Wayne Dodd says:

    3 in 1 not 3 in 3. That’s the answer.

  5. Wayne Dodd says:

    Power is actually authority in this verse

  7. Olivaire Watler says:

    The Father is the giver in this verse. It obviously does not mean that it leaves the Father without authority, but rather that the Father has delegated all of his authority to act to the Son. It is impossible for the Father to be powerless because all power is inherent to his nature. The picture here is of someone giving full power of attorney so that someone else can do everything they can on their behalf.

  8. Christopher Brynestad says:

    This is a wonderful passage full of good news. Due to our sin, it was perceived that we were under Satan’s dominion. Through His death and resurrection Jesus demonstrated His authority over all things. There is no room for Satan to have authority in our lives outside of what God wills. Satan was our attorney, accusing us before God the Father. He has been removed and Jesus is now our advocate before the Father. Because of this, pertaining to His human nature, there is no one greater than Jesus in all creation.

  9. Richard Spence says:

    No matter what God the Father does, does not diminish His power. Don’t be confused by the word “all.” The Father can give away ALL His power, and still have ALL His power! L&P

  10. Denise Hutchinson says:

    And then He said I must go to the One who sent me so the Holy SPIRIT will come.

  11. Rick Holtsclaw says:

    They are coequal.

    I will just leave this here.

    1 John 5:6-8 NKJV
    This is He who came by water and blood-Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. [7] For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. [8] And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

    Funny You Should Ask

    It seems Matthew 28 is one of the passages that Oneness Christian’s cant really digest, so they then just dismiss the context and message of the whole chapter.

    If you read the word immediately after that text, it says

    “””THEREFORE”””

    Because of that Then do the flowing which is an Imperative, also known as AORIST in Greek….
    Go and Make Disciples, baptizing them in the name of THE FATHER, AND THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

    Interesting how now that Jesus has resurrected and in All of His Glory IN His most important Statements to the disciples, He orders them to baptize in the name of the Trinity…

    Why would He do that if it were not Important and IMPERATIVE?

    Why disobey the God whom has All Power in Heaven and Earth?

    ◄ 1 Corinthians 15:27

    New International Version
    For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.

    New Living Translation
    For the Scriptures say, “God has put all things under his authority.” (Of course, when it says “all things are under his authority,” that does not include God himself, who gave Christ his authority.)

    English Standard Version
    For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him.

    Berean Study Bible
    For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.

    Berean Literal Bible
    For “He has put in subjection all things under His feet.” But when it may be said that all things have been put in subjection, it is evident that the Onehaving put in subjection all things to Him is excepted.

    New American Standard Bible
    For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him.

    New King James Version
    For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

    King James Bible
    For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

    John 14:9
    Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

    John 14:10
    Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

    John 1:18
    18 No one has seen God (Almighty/Yahweh/Jehovah) at any time. The only begotten Son (Jesus/Christ/Messiah/Lamb of God) who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

    Colossians 1:15
    Jesus Christ (the Messiah/the Lamb of God) is the VISIBLE image of the

    INVISIBLE God (the Almighty/ Jehovah & Yahweh of the Old Testament / the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob).

    He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation.

    The Messianic Jews will never believe that there are a community of gods in heaven that are coequal, coeternal and coexistence having a conversation as what needs to be done here on earth as it is in heaven.

    The Israelites will never accept multiple deities, polytheistic, belief. They strongly believe in the core of their being, ingrained since childhood that there is only but ONE GOD.

    Deuteronomy 6:4
    Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

    But they do believe that

    1 Timothy 2:5
    For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the (MAN) Christ Jesus.

    The father sent Him, and the Holy Spirit who comes to comfort after the ressurection.
