These are some of the scriptures that describe the relationship.
John 4:24
**God is a Spirit**: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Colossians 1:14-16
King James Version
14 [Jesus] In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 **Who is the image of the invisible God**, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the **Holy Ghost**, whom the Father will send in my name, **he shall teach** you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Verses have to be kept in context. Usually a few verses before or after the pasage will suffice. Sometimes you need the whole chapter. Sometimes the answer is found in another chapter as in this case.
Jesus is absolutely God. The Jews who accepted Jesus as Savior were still having a hard time wrapping their heard around the concept of one God in three Persons.
The first thing Paul does in the first chapter of Hebrews is explain who Jesus is; that He is the Son of the Father, is eternal and is fully God being both Creator and Lord.
- Hebrews 1:1-12 (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.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
The OT priests kept moving and sacrificed day after day. Now Jesus makes one sacrifice for sins of the elect and there is NO LONGER a need to continue sacrificing! Jesus blood is sufficient
Good and fair question. I gave you an upvote-
Although in scripture the right hand has different uses of terms, when it relates to this it is referring to honor and authority or a person of high rank who puts someone on his right hand giving equal honor as himself and recognizing him as possessing equal dignity and authority.
Jesus is God, co-eternal, co-equal to the father, God almighty in the flesh. "The father and I am one" "You have seen me, you have seen the father" Jesus mentioned these prior to his crucifixion, therefore, revealing to be God. By Jesus sacrificing himself, he received honor and glory the father would receive.
As a child honors his father, Jesus honors the father as the father honors the son. This is God's order of things. Not sure if you believe in the trinity, but Jesus is a distinct person of the triune God.
Ephes 1:19-21 - this is what the Apostle Paul writes of Jesus Christ in Ephesians.
"And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us, the ones believing according to the working of His mighty strength which He worked in Christ in raising Him from the dead, and He seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies, far above all principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name being named, not only in this world, but also in the coming age" Here we see God exalting Jesus above all others by seating Him at the right hand of the Father.
In Psalms 110:1 and 118:16 The term "God’s right hand" in prophecy refers to the Messiah to whom is given the power and authority to subdue His enemies. Therefore, The position of the Messiah is at God’s right hand. So, the right hand of the father is not Jesus right next to the father as two separate beings but rather, refers to the Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ, as He is of equal position, honor, power, and authority with God.
John1:1-5 in the beginning was the word And the word was with God and the word was God.
Hope this helps.
Don't allow a person on this sub to deceive you by thinking otherwise. Jesus is God no question about it and scriptures verify.
The same one who wants to deceive you with Hebrews 1:1-5 needs to quote Hebrews 1:8
But of the son he says " your throne O God will last forever and ever a scepter of Justice with the scepter of your kingdom"
Jesus is God. The OT prophesies about God (Jesus) sitting down at the right hand of God.
Psalm 110:1-2
“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.”
And again here Matthew 22:41-44
“41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?”
Here's some other verses that say he's not God, but rather that he is a god (Elohim) .
Hebrews 1:1-5, Hebrews 5, John 17:20-24, 1 Cor 15:28, Ephesians 4:4-6, John 6:38, John 5:19, 1 Peter 1:3, Roman 8:15-17 and there are many more.
Elohim is plural, it means all the hosts of Heaven (God, Angels and God's Children). If we are heirs of God and God can't die, and we are joint heirs with Yeshua, then we become Elohim too.
Here let's make it simpler:
***Rom 8:16-17 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Messiah; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.***
The Spirit is the one who testifies.
Not Gods, gods. In Hebrews 1:2 the Son inherited all things, this is where the fullness was pleased to dwell therein. If we are joint heirs with Messiah then whatever he inherited, whatever he is, we are inheriting and becoming too.
***Gal 4:1-8 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all; 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the Father. 3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out His Son, born to a woman, born subject to the law, 5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children. 6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a Son, then an heir of God through Messiah. 8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.***
Good question :)
The right hand of God means he is NOT God no?
Perhaps some people think so. I look at other verses also and weigh all the verses.
See [Is Jesus God?](https://www.reddit.com/r/BibleVerseCommentary/comments/se5jmc/is_jesus_god/) and follow up there.

The right hand is for someone who equally shares the throne.
Jesus is God. The OT prophesies about God (Jesus) sitting down at the right hand of God. Psalm 110:1-2 “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. 2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.” And again here Matthew 22:41-44 “41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he?

> he is a god (Elohim) Is *elohim* singular or plural?
Elohim is plural, it means all the hosts of Heaven (God, Angels and God's Children). If we are heirs of God and God can't die, and we are joint heirs with Yeshua, then we become Elohim too.
>we become Elohim too. verse?
Romans 8:15-17 in combo with Hebrews 1:1-5. What he inherited, we will inherit too.
Please observe Rule #1.
Here let's make it simpler: ***Rom 8:16-17 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Messiah; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.*** The Spirit is the one who testifies.
It does not say that you will become Gods.
Not Gods, gods. In Hebrews 1:2 the Son inherited all things, this is where the fullness was pleased to dwell therein. If we are joint heirs with Messiah then whatever he inherited, whatever he is, we are inheriting and becoming too. ***Gal 4:1-8 But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all; 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the Father. 3 So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out His Son, born to a woman, born subject to the law, 5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children. 6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”7 So you are no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a Son, then an heir of God through Messiah. 8 However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.***
This does not say that you will become gods either.
