Jesus is Lord? true or false

Why Jesus is Lord?

In Acts 2:36 it says: Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.


Jesus is Lord because God made him as Lord. What kind of Lord is he? in Acts 2:34 it says: ...."The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand" 


Jesus is the spoken Lord who sits at the right hand of God. The Acts 2:34 is quotation from Psalms 110:1, in Hebrew Bible has two different meaning of Lord according to the verse, it should be "YHWH said to my ADONI". JESUS  IS ADONI,  the question is;  What does ADONI mean? Does  ADONI mean God? definitely NO! The Hebrew word ADONI never refers to God anywhere in the Bible. 


Abraham was called ADONI in Gen. 23:6: "Hear us, my lord (ADONI); you are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our sepulchres; none of us will withhold from you his sepulchre, or hinder you from burying your dead.

Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."


Was Jesus double-talking 

Matthew 28:18

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."

Matthew 20:23

23 "Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”

In John 5:30 Jesus said,

30 "I can do NOTHING on my own. I judge as God tells me. Therefore, my judgement is just, because I carry out the will of the one who sent me, not my own will." 

 Which is which? If it is really true that "ALL" AUTHORITIES ARE GIVEN TO JESUS IN HEAVEN and ON EARTH, how comes then he cannot grant ANYBODY a seat at his right hand in heaven and that ONLY God can grant that? Where then is "ALL" the power? And how comes that he had to pray to God in John 11:41-42 to raise Lazarus back to life?

By accepting worship, Jesus shows Himself to be the Lord God Almighty.


1_In the biblical culture, the act of worship was not directed only to God. It was very common to worship (i.e., pay homage to) men of a higher status. This is hard to see in the English translations of the Bible. The translators usually translate the same Hebrew or Greek word as "worship" when it involves God, but as some other word, such as "bow before," or "pay homage to," when it involves men. Nevertheless, worship is clearly there in the Hebrew and Greek texts. For example:


* Lot "worshipped" the two strangers that came to Sodom (Gen. 19:1).
* Abraham "worshipped" the pagan leaders of the land in which he lived (Gen. 23:7).
* Jacob "worshipped" his older brother when they met after being apart for years (Gen. 33:3).
* Joseph had a dream that his parents and brothers "worshipped" him (Gen. 37:10).
* Joseph's brothers "worshipped" him (Gen. 43:26).
* Joshua fell down and "worshipped" an angel (Joshua 5:14).
* Ruth "worshipped" Boaz (Ruth 2:10).
* David "worshipped" Jonathan (1 Sam. 20:41).
* Abigail "worshipped" David (1 Sam. 25:41).

Jesus clearly defined who must be religiously worshiped in the Bible:


"All this I will give you,' he (Satan) said (to Jesus), 'if you will bow down and worship me.'  Jesus said to him, 'Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'   ( Matthew 4:9-10)"


In this verse, we clearly see that Jesus refused to obey to Satan's commands by taking Satan as his GOD or Superior.  Jesus told him that non shall be worshiped except GOD Almighty.  If Jesus was GOD Almighty Himself as Trinitarians falsely claim, then his answer to Satan would be completely different!

??Another example

Revelation 22:7-9
7 “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”

8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me.

9 But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll.Worship God!”

The verses is very clear that the angel said Worship God instead of Jesus. 
If Jesus is indeed God, the angel would have said "Worship only Jesus" or Holy Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit 

Here it's so clear the angel separates Jesus from God. They're not one!! Jesus is NOT God!!
