The Problem Around The Suffering Servant Continually Attributed To Jesus

Continued from Part 1 ISAIAH 52:13-15 52:13:  “Behold My servant” The phrase, “My servant,” presents a problem for the trinitarian doctrine:  servant and master are two separate entities.  A servant by definition is always in an inferior position to his master.  John’s Jesus acknowledges:  “A slave is not greater than his master, neither one who is sent greater than the one who sent him” (John 13:16).  The sending of Jesus would have taken place while the trinity trio supposedly were all equa

Thorough Reflection On The Work of Jesus That Matters Or Not
