What does Jesus mean when he says when he says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega...?

In the Book of Revelation we find the verse, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8). But what do you do with Revelation 22:13, which appears to be Jesus speaking (see verse 16), when he says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end"? Doesn't the command by Matthew's Jesus to, "Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy

Does Revelation 11:15 show the equality of Jesus and God?

Does Revelation 11:15 show the equality of Jesus and God?

Revelation 11:15 states that "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." Doesn't this verse show the equality of Jesus and God? Answer: Absolutely not! Significantly, "our Lord" in this verse is not Jesus but God Himself, and Jesus is clearly distinguished from God as "His Christ." While the term "Lord" is often used in the New Testament to refer to either God or Jesus, there is always a distinction made between the two. God and Jesus are never used synonym

New Testament passages that refute the Christian doctrine of the Trinity?

New Testament passages that refute the Christian doctrine of the Trinity?

Is it true that there are New Testament passages that refute the Christian doctrine of the Trinity? Let's find out. Answer: Yes, there are many. An examination of the purported words of Jesus, as recorded in the Gospels, clearly shows that he never said he was God or a part of God. Jesus spoke of his Father in heaven as his God (John 20:17), to whom he attributed superior authority, knowledge, and greatness (Matthew 20:23, Mark 13:32, John 14:28). Jesus certainly was not equal to God, for he

Answer: Verse 8, a statement made by the enemies of the suffering servant of the Lord, shows that Jesus could not be the suffering servant.
