I would love to get the spocrapha that was included in 1611
I think it's misleading when we think of God as having a presence like us. In those verses you place Jesus sitting beside God and there you have the son sitting beside the Father. But I don't think that's what those verses is saying. Here's an example.
Psalms 16:8.I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Now do you vision God sitting down beside David ? are is David referring to him as the power in which he shall not be moved?
Here's another example of him being the power.
Luke 22:69. Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
The right hand/power is an attribute in which he performs within the God head. Here's some examples.
Exodus 15:6. Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
Isaiah 41:10. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Romans 8:34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Isaiah 48:13. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
This is just a few of many verses in which you see
He makes intercession from his right hand.
He makes us righteousness from his right hand.
His power is his right hand.
He judges from the right hand.
And as Isaiah 48:13 says along with the volume of the book
He created the world with his right hand.
So those verses proves He's God!! That why in Revelation 1:8 he's called the Almighty!!
Revelation 1:8 (KJV) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
I am only thinking your question was to me but as it was a reply to Shane's post. I hope I am not stepping on your toes Shane and of coarse please reply if you'd like.
What I take of Romans 3:10-12 is Paul stating that everyone is under sin. Going further into chapter 3 as he states things like "their feet are swift to shed blood" "destruction and misery are their ways" "the way of peace have they not known" etc. Seeming as he's talking of people that are pretty deep into a sinful life as "there is no fear of God before their eyes".
Then getting to verse 21 he begins to speak of the righteousness of God and the redemption in Christ Jesus.
I guess I would just say keep reading the chapter and how it pans into the Lord. Chapter 23 again stating "for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". As we have nothing to fear because He sent Jesus Christ for us.
Romans is a great Book by Paul. I hope my post has helped some. God Bless you.

There are differing views on what "that" is. Some say, the Word of God, so that we may know much more now, than Christians in those days. Others feel that it is when Christ comes (but then, why refer to Him as "that" or not "Christ"?), or maybe when we reach full maturity in Christ, as individuals & as a Church, most likely when we're in God's Presence. When this happens our knowledge will be complete. But for now, (v 12) we 'look at a mirror that is not well made or polished, therefore not with clarity (as in those days with silver or brass & not glass), but one day we will see all things clearly. Now our knowledge is only partial, but in the future we will know all things, even knowing ourselves as how God knows & sees us'.
On this "God and Jesus are not the same" all I can do is give you my perception on this. As other people may have different views. Maybe others more learned than I would like to share but I will proclaim what I feel about our Lord Jesus Christ. I do not believe Jesus Christ is God the Father as it seems pretty obvious to me as they are two, Father and Son. Although things like Jesus stating "I and the Father are One" and "If you have seen me you have seen the Father" some people may use those to proclaim that "Jesus is God". As I have said before I really have no problem with people saying Jesus is God as they are One. As God is Spirit the Father being in the Son and the Son in the Father is truth. They being One. All things that the Father has have been given to the Son.
Jesus Christ being the Elect or Chosen One of God. He is the Word of God and the Perfect Lamb of God. The Mediator between God Almighty and man. Sent to us by our Perfect Father in Heaven to bear our sins on His shoulders.( 1 John 2:1-2. By the Glorious Grace and love that God has for us. I believe Isaiah 42 is a good chapter, in the Old Testament, that speaks about Jesus Christ.
Maybe some other verses of Jesus and the Father not being the "same" even though they are One:
Proverbs 30:4
Matthew 26:39
John 8:17-18
John 20:17
( 1 Timothy 2:5
The Book of John is my favorite out of the four books of the journey of Chirst. Reading chapter 15-17 is good to see correlation between the Father and Son.
I hope what I have replied helps you. This is Truth to me in how my eyes have been lead to perceive the Lord Jesus Christ. And no person has taught me these things.
God Bless you brother.

( 1 Peter 3:22
It was the LORD God who made Adam from the dust of the ground without a female counterpart.
God had already made man, male and female, in His image and likeness to have dominion over Eden.
If we look carefully we see that the LORD God imitated God's creation rather poorly, which is the reason why we have disease and death prevailing on the Earth today, because the Way-of-Eden -- God's Way-of-Life -- was usurped by an impostor.
"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
6And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day
i recently been hearing about foods like tomatoes and potatoes being bad for people if they have something like arthritis. it's not scripture.
Then in Judges chapter 17, we read, as an addendum, the life of one Micah & his Mother. He had taken some money from her without her knowledge, she had placed a curse on the one who stole it, Micah admitted to the crime & she forgave him. That money (the silver) was what she wanted to melt down to make an idol from it, for the benefit of her son & the household. Micah already had many idols, even consecrating one of his sons as a priest to administer the worship - showing how spiritually dry & perverted this family & their times were in. And verse 6 is the central theme of this Book, indeed of the life of Israel: "every man did that which was right in their own eyes", by forsaking the True God & His Commandments.
Anyway, in time, a Levite (of the Tribe of Levi & consecrated to do service in the Tabernacle - but without a job), happened to pass by Micah's home. Micah took the opportunity to have him be his live-in priest instead, even offering a stipend, clothing & food. However, this Levite (we understand his name as Jonathan (18:30)), was not authorized to be a priest, but such was the condition in those days, that 'anything goes'. And you can read more of this fearful despicable condition in the following chapter & chapter 19, reminiscent of the days of Lot & Sodom & Gomorrah.
God for sake them for they know not what they do.

In Genesis 1:27, we read that "God created man in his OWN Image", which I don't see as presenting any problem as it's still the self-same God in His Triunity that created man to bear His Image.
Then in Genesis 3:22 we read, "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of US, to know good and evil". Here again, God brings in the Fullness of His Being, as created man stepped outside of God's Will & now able to discern between good & evil, & has further taken on another aspect of God. Man lost his innocence by his sinning against God.
The above verses reveal to us the triunity of God, but when we get to Genesis 11:7, we read: "Let US go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech." We can't be sure who went with God to do this work: was it Jesus as God's Word, or the angels or some Beings of Heaven, we don't know. Since it didn't involve the creation of someone or something to bear His Image, we could understand that others were involved at the Tower of Babel.
