did he sit on his own right hand?
Come on people, instead of calling me names give me some commonsense answers - all I'm getting is the usual psychobabble - don't you care if what you believe makes any sense?

YOU are the one who isn't making sense.
God speaks to us in a way that PERHAPS we may understand with His help.
Read Isaiah
59:16...His own arm brought salvation for Him.
52:10...The LORD has made bare His holy arm.
48:13...In deed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth..
Yes, I care. It makes sense to me because I study the Bible and God reveals the answers.
He is trying to explain in terms you may be able to grasp.
His arm is definitely a part of Him. But also a part, if His hand laid the foundation of the world.
Study more, Pray more, be skeptical less.
God and His Salvation are ONE. God saves and did it by becoming flesh to die for our sins.
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one. Much like your Mind, Will, and Emotions. They are all yours, but they are separate entities.
GOD BLESS

Jesus never preached Trinity. He never claimed divinity. He never said that he was number two in the Trinity hierarchy ( ie: The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost) Before believing blindly any scriptures on the face of the earth, it would be better to read and understand the writings in a logical manner. One should know that the Gospels were written 65 years after the ascension of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of St.John was written ( say between 95 and 100 years after the death [ that is what the Christians believe] of Jesus. Also note what does it mean that "The Gospel according to Mathew" It means that the Gospel was not written by Mathew, but it was written by someone else using the name of Mathew. This is how things should be rationalised in the neutral way. Once when you look in to any scriptures in a neutral altitude, you will be able to capture the inner truth. The divinity of Jesus as the son of God and the concept of Trinity was first promulgated in the Jewish Synagogue by St.Paul, who never met Jesus in his lifetime, though he studied in Bethlehem during the time when Jesus was preaching the Oneness of the true God Almighty, who is above everything in this world, who cannot be compared with anything and He is everlasting and the ultimate Supernatural Power.

It may help if you remember that the Bible is an oriental book, written by oriental people in an oriental language for use by oriental people and with imagery and expressions that those people were familiar with. It was later translated to other languages. Orientals do not express ideas and thoughts in the same way as we do. When you have a dear guest that you like very much and you invite him over to your house you sit him to your right. This is just a gesture that shows that you have great affection and respect for him.

He is seated at the right hand of God. I know where your going with this
The trinity is 3 separate people rolled into 1.
Hard to understand, but lean not to your own understanding and just trust in God.

In a dogmatic view of the trinity, Christ sitting at the right hand of the father is a metaphor. The trinity is an explanation of the nature of God that does not necessarily work in a literal sense. Christ is distinct from the Father, but part of the same unit.
Imagine a triangle--each point is a part of the godhead. It can be said the point B is to the right of point A, but point A and point B are both part of the same triangle.

What I believe makes Perfect sense!
the trinity is a polytheistic belief but Christians believe that they are monotheistic because they believe that these three people are three parts of one deity, which is NOT supported by the bible,
this belief was created by emperor Constantine, who was a pagan but converted to Christianity and wanted every other pagan too also, so he made the church start this dogma, it is not true the father the son and the holy spirit are three different beings, the son and the holy spirit are NOT to be worshiped.
Jesus is the SON and is not God himself.

You are trying to create a physical picture of a spiritual reality. When the Bible says that Jesus went up to Heaven to sit at the right hand of his Father it means that He took his place as the second member of the trinity. It's not like Jesus went up to Heaven and sat down in a chair on the right side of his Father and they haven't moved since, it's figurative speech. It's like the president of a company saying that the CEO is his right hand man or vice versa. Neither person is a greater being than the other one, they just serve in different roles.

No. The language is symbollic for the Son returning to the Father and the Holy Spirit once more. How many times will I have to explain the Trinity tonight? Gosh!

Okay? For a professor, you continue to exhibit all the written traits of today's teens and their bad habits.
Jesus ascended to heaven and sat on the right of God the Father: that's what is meant by "sitting on the right hand" of God.
I hope this explanation is okay for your comprehension.

That's why you have to get the original translation of the Bible from the Original Christians the Essenes. They had the Book hidden for hundreds of years. Go to http://www.essene.org Read the Gospel of the Holy Twelve on the web Go to that section.
they say he came back for some time to preach in India and two other countries before he actually left the planet.
