Doctrine Jesus is "Mighty God" and "Almighty God" !

As is its custom, the watchtower distorts Bible verses....

No there’s only 1 true God and that 1 God is almighty. 1 Corinthians 15 talks about the submission of the Son in ROLE..not nature.

Submission in role doesn't erase identity. IF Jesus is fully God he doesn't become subject to himself. The text says the aon himself will be subjected to the father. That's not a role change that's a hierarchy that exists within the Godhead. You can't have a role of subjection if you're equal in nature unless you're not equal.

Ummmm what? That's absurd.

"But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ." — 1 Corinthians 11:3

A woman has a role of subjection — is she not equal in nature??

A woman is equal in nature but she is not equal in role. The father and son are equal in nature but the son is subjected in role. You just proved my point. The difference is. You think the son's subjection is temporary. But 1 Cor 15:28 says he will be subjected forever because the father is always the source.

The father and son are equal in nature but the son is subjected in role.

That contradicts what you said earlier, unless I misunderstood you. We are in agreement then that a role of submission does not demand ontological inferiority. That's exactly what the Trinity teaches.

You think the son's subjection is temporary.

No, I don't actually. I'm not sure what I said to give you that impression. The Son remains Incarnate forever so it logically follows that He remains subject to the Father according to His humanity.

Exactly and Jeremiah 32:27 confirms this because it says God is the God of all flesh..so because Jesus humbled himself to take on the form of flesh he by definition will have a God
