If Jesus is considered only as the Son of God, why does He have immortality alone? See 1 Timothy 6:11-16.?

Question

Christians response only, please!

Thanks

God Bless

S.P.

Answer 1

Jesus Christ is a divine person, he has both a distinct divine (God) nature and a human nature in one divine person. Jesus' finite humanity is bonded to his infinite and eternal divinity. God bless!

Answer 2

First, let us define immortality. The three dictionary definitions are: 1) The quality or condition of being immortal. 2) Endless life or existence. 3)Enduring fame. The first is answering the question with the question. The third has no bearing on what we're discussing. So, the answer is: immortality is endless life or existence.

If we keep in mind that Jesus and God are the same person (see my answer on your Zechariah question), then, yes, the Trinity is the only one that has immortality. God the Trinity is the only One that has always existed and will continue to always exist. All other eternal beings (man included) have a finite beginning point. There was a point where angels and demons did not exist. There was a point where man did not exist. Although each individual member of these three groups will continue to exist from now on, they haven't always existed, so they cannot be considered immortal. They do not have endless life because there is a point in time that they did not have any life. God alone is immortal because He is the only being that has always existed. Paul was very intelligent, and I'm sure he understood this.

Answer 3

The bible teaches that others receive the gift of immortality AFTER Jesus (after that Scripture was written).

Jesus has always enjoyed an elevated position. Jesus was the only creation performed completely and personally by Jehovah, and the only one who enjoyed untold aeons of close uninterrupted association as Father and only-begotten Son. Jesus was and is far higher than any mere angel; it saddens Jehovah's Witnesses when their critics misrepresent what the Witnesses actually believe in this regard. With such critics in mind, this answer includes both a modern English translation and the King James Version of each Scriptural passage.

Perhaps much of Christendom's anger at Jehovah's Witnesses results from a semantic misunderstanding about the word "angel"....

YES, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the term "angel" can be used to refer to literally EVERY spirit creature including Jesus; but...
NO, Jehovah's Witnesses do NOT believe that any spirit creature ever was or ever will be an equal to the heavenly Jesus. God could not have selected any more glorious personage than God's only-begotten Son Jesus to be mankind's ransom sacrifice.

(John 17:5) Father, glorify me [Jesus] alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was [created].
(John 17:5, KJV) Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.


Thanks for the opportunity to discuss the distinctness and relationship of Jesus and Jehovah!

Answer 4

He only has immortality as an extension of the father, without the father he would just a man, not an extension of God.
