O MY FATHER!

[Revelations won]

O My Father

O my Father, thou that dwellest In the high and glorious -place,

When shall I regain thy presence and again behold thy face?

In thy holy habitation, Did my spirit once reside?

In my first primeval childhood, was I nurtured near thy side?

For a wise and glorious purpose Thou hast placed me here on earth

And with held the recollection Of my former friends and birth:

Yet off times a secret something Whispered , “You’re a stranger here”,

And I felt that I had wandered From a more exalted sphere.

I had learned to call theeFather, Thru thy Spirit. From on high,

But until the key of knowledge was restored I knew not why.

In the heav’ns are parents single?

No the thought makes reason stare!

Truth is reason; truth eternal Tells me I’ve a mother there.

When I leave this frail existence , When I lay this mortal by

Father, Mother, may I meet youIn your royal courts on high?

Then at length, when I have completed All you sent me forth to do,

With your mutual approbation Let me come and dwell with you.




The above beautiful poem unveils a mystery of god to the mortal understanding. It teaches mighty eternal truths. Indeed God is the father of all his children that have lived, now live or will yet live to exercise their God given agency to be tried and tested and by following christ “also overcome the world” and become “partakers of the divine nature” and to also to “become heirs and joint heirs with Christ to also receive all that the Father hath”

On this Easter Sunday let us all cherish and rejoice in the mighty atonement and resurrection provided by Jesus Christ as our great exemplar! He has provided the way that we in our resurrection will also receive a permanent resurrection or reuniting of our spirit body with a permanent body of flesh and bone as Christ has received.

God bless you all with the deep understanding of eternal things as promised by the Holy Ghost.

So the word "everything" excludes the Father , correct?

Yes, it excludes the Father as they are equal.

Or it excludes the Father because he is superior.

They are equal, being both Divine or God.

They are not equal.

They are, even the Father addressed His Son as Lord in Heb 1:10. They are both equal in the nature of God.

Hebrews 1:10
He also says, "In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.(NIV)

[JehovahsWitness]

Hebrews 1:10
He also says, "In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.(NIV)

I don't see the word "equal" in that verse.

I don't see the word "equal" in that verse.

How about the word Lord? Why the Father call Jesus Lord?

Because Jesus is a Lord.

Because Jesus is God.

They are equal, being both Divine or God.

onewithhim responds:
Being "divine" does not mean that you are God or equal to God. It simply means "of, from, or like God or a god." (Oxford Illustrated Dictionary) So it could mean something is created by God ("of, from") or is like Beings in the spirit realm. Jesus is a mighty spirit Being right now, but not equal to God.
They are not equal.

They are, even the Father addressed His Son as Lord in Heb 1:10. They are both equal in the nature of God.

Hebrews 1:10
He also says, "In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.(NIV)

(onewithhim responds) Why wouldn't God refer to Jesus as "Lord"? Sure He would. Jesus is just not the LORD that is in uppercase letters in the Hebrew Scriptures 7,000 times. That always refers to the Father, Jehovah. But Jesus is surely "Lord" of all those on earth who are called "lord." See I Corinthians 8:6.

"There is actually to us one God, the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him."

And why is the Father addressed Jesus as "Lord" in the uppercase in Heb 1:10?

Look closely. It's not in the upper case. (Upper case here means ALL the letters are upper case. Look at "LORD" in the O.T.)
