out of Jesus, Father and Holy Spirit, who has the majority of the power?

Question

i think they have different share of power, such as jesus don't know the time of Armagaddon, and sometimes he gets demoted to 'son' of God, who has the lion share of power out of three?

Answer 1

None. Of the three, only Jesus has a chance of having any power, since he might have existed. There might have been a man named Jesus who lived decades earlier who the writings may have been very loosely based on. Though, he's dead now and no longer has any power.

So, you have one possible dead guy and two fictional characters. None have any power.

Answer 2

They are *identical* in power because they are One Power|||

They are One Power because they are One Being, sharing an identity of being|

But, at the same time, there are real distinctions between *Father,* *Son,* and *Holy Spirit|*


They are distinguished by their "Relations of Origin|"

The Father is the Father because the Father begets the Son and the Son is begotten by the Father; in all other respects they are the same|

The Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit simply because He proceeds from the Father and the Son and not the other way around; in all other respects, He is the same as the Father and the Son|||

Answer 3

Jehovah God the Father has all the power. Jesus Christ is the son of Jehovah God. Jesus is not God Almighty. they are not one and the same. Jesus never said he was God. yes he said you seen me you seen the Father, he was saying that he was with Jehovah from the beginning. he also said he can not do anything without the Father in heaven. when Jesus was baptized Jehovah came down like a dove and said this is my son the beloved

Answer 4

Almighty God Jehovah has all the power, Jesus is not Almighty, and the holy Spirit is not a person, it is God's active force and God uses it to achieve his purposes, Jesus doesn't know the day or the hour, God does, so this shows that Jesus is separate and distinct from his Father and God.

Answer 5

All mighty God has ultimate powers. God Almighty created Jesus, Holy Ghost and every living and non living things in universes.

God Allmighty is the power, without sharing.

Answer 6

I like the question, but I don't believe it matters to your or my salvation, which is assured by grace, and I wonder what you think. In the spirit of your question, though, what is Interesting to me, and I'd like to know what anyone else thinks also, is to consider whether the Word and the Spirit are not intimately the same as what person to person word of mouth and each to the other witness has brought us over 2000/20 (= about 100) generations of sufferers and witnesses and their testimony to each other about the teachings and acts of the rabbi Jesus and what high truth these testimonies have grown into. Each one told one, each one saw one, each one saw someone torn limb from limb by beasts because they would not abandon belief in what Jesus promised, each one told one and shared with each other the terror of facing pain and death and seeing one's loved ones face pain and death in hard times. The whole time it was all about what Jesus said and did witnessed first hand by not more than say a thousand people. You don't have to be smart or even know much about Jesus and scripture to have earthly comfort in the words he spoke, so built-in as the word is now.

Answer 7

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one.

Answer 8

Father, Son and Holy Spirit are co-equal God and so are equally powerful,as a human being Jesus denied using His divine power out of humility.

Answer 9

Looking at the answers provided by Christians, I can clearly see how confused and contradicted they are about the nature of the triune God that they worship. In Islam, everything's simple. There's only ONE Indivisible God.

Abdul Ahad Dawud, former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, (died 1940c) of the Uniate-Chaldean Church wrote in his book, "Muhammad in the Bible":

The Christian auspicatory formula: "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," does not even mention the name of God! And this is the Christian God!...The Quranic formula, on the other hand, which expresses the foundation of the Islamic truth is a great contrast to the Trinitarians' formula: "In the Name of [God Most Gracious Most Merciful]"

The Christian Trinity – in as much as it admits a plurality of persons in the Deity, attributes distinct personal properties to each person; and makes use of family names similar to those in the pagan mythology - cannot be accepted as a true conception of the Deity. Allah is neither the father of a son nor the son of a father. He has no mother, nor is He self-made. The belief in "God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Ghost" is a flagrant denial of the Oneness of God, and an audacious confession in three imperfect beings who, unitedly or separately, cannot be the true God.

Those who maintain the unity of God in the trinity of persons tell us that "each person is omnipotent, omnipresent, eternal and perfect God; yet there are not three omnipotent, omnipresent, eternal and perfect Gods, but one omnipotent...God!" If there is no sophistry in the above reasoning then we shall present this "mystery" of the churches by an equation:- .
God = 1 God + 1 God + 1 God; therefore: 1 God = 3 Gods.

In the first place, one god cannot equal three gods, but only one of them. Secondly, since you admit each person to be perfect God like His two associates, your conclusion that 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 is not mathematical, but an absurdity!

You are either too arrogant when you attempt to prove that three units equal one unit; or too cowardly to admit that three ones equal three ones. In the former case you can never prove a wrong solution of a problem by a false process; and in the second you have not the courage to confess your belief in three gods.

Then we are told that each person of the trinity has some particular attributes which are not proper to the other two. And these attributes indicate - according to human reasoning and language - priority and posteriority among them. The Father always holds the first rank, and is prior to the Son. The Holy Ghost is not only posterior as the third in the order of counting but even inferior to those from whom he proceeds. Would it not be considered a sin of heresy if the names of the three persons were conversely repeated? Will not the signing of the cross upon the countenance or over the elements of the Eucharist be considered impious by the Churches if the formula be reversed thus: "In the name of the Holy Ghost, and of the Son, and of the Father"? For if they are absolutely equal and coeval, the order of precedence need not be so scrupulously observed.

The fact is that the Popes and the General Councils have always condemned the Sabelian doctrine which maintained that God is one but that He manifested Himself as the Father or as the Son or as the Holy Spirit, being always one and the same person. Of course, the religion of Islam does not endorse or sanction the Sabelian views. God manifested "Jamal" or beauty in Christ, "Jelal" or Glory and Majesty in Prophet Muhammad, and Wisdom in Solomon, and so on in many other objects of nature, but none of those prophets are gods neither the beautiful scenery of nature are gods.

The truth is that there is no mathematical exactitude, no absolute equality between the three persons of the Trinity. If the Father were in every respect equal to the Son or the Holy Spirit, as the unit 1 is positively equal to another figure 1, then there would necessarily be only one person of God and not three, because a unit is not a fragment or fraction nor a multiple of itself. The very difference and relationship that is admitted to exist between the persons of the Trinity leaves no shadow of doubt that they are neither equal to each other nor are they to be identified with one another. The Father begets and is not begotten; the Son is begotten and not a father; the Holy Ghost is the issue of the other two persons; the first person is described as creator and destroyer; the second as savior or redeemer, and the third as life-giver. Consequently none of the three is alone the Creator, the Redeemer and the Life-giver. Then we are told that the second person is the Word of the first Person, becomes man and is sacrificed on the cross to satisfy the justice of his father, and that his incarnation and resurrection are operated and accomplished by the third person.

In conclusion, I must remind Christians that unless they believe in the absolute Oneness of God, and renounce the belief in the three persons, they are certainly unbelievers in the true God. Strictly speaking, Christians are polytheists, only with this exception, that the gods of the heathen are false and imaginary, whereas the three gods of the Churches have a distinct character, of whom the Father - as another epithet for Creator - is the One true God, but the son is only a prophet and worshipper of God, and the third person one of the innumerable holy spirits in the service of the Almighty God.

In the Old Testament, God is called Father because of His being a loving Creator and Protector, but as the Churches abused this Name, the Quran has justly refrained from using it. The Old Testament and the Quran condemn the doctrine of three persons in God; the New Testament does not expressly hold or defend it, but even if it contains hints and traces concerning the Trinity, it is no authority at all, because it was neither seen nor written by Christ himself, nor in the language he spoke, nor did it exist in its present form and contents for - at least - the first two centuries after him. It might with advantage be added that in the East, the Unitarian Christians always combated and protested against the Trinitarians...

Answer 10

Jesus does most of the heavy lifting these days but the Father has veto power. The Holy Spirit mostly works behind the scenes. Have you noticed that hardly anybody prays to the Holy Spirit. He's a bit under appreciated.

Answer 11

Also, in his pre-existence, he is only referred to as a mighty god and never as almighty. A mighty god gets its power and existence from an almight.
