I have already addressed this in my post regarding the Carmen Christi see Philippians 2
If Jesus is not God, how can Jesus receive or be conferred even a fraction of the glory due exclusively to God?

OK, if you wish look up the Carmen Christi - Philippians 2 and post #116. If brevity is what you want. The first and #93 for my full proposition.
We see claims that God gives His glory to Jesus. So far, I haven't seen anyone with proof of this.
And this is the other side of it - still on the Old Testament - centuries before the Lord Jesus was born. Written by the Prophet Daniel, I hope you are familiar with Daniel.
The one thrown in the lions' den and was unhurt.
In the Book of Daniel this is written:
Daniel 7:13-14 New International Version (NIV)
“In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
The prophet Daniel had a vision.
He was given...glory.
So he received glory.
Who was given the glory?
Who gave the glory?
There is always an exception to the rule:
So, just one whee bit of information. Do the Son and the Father share the same knowledge?
Yes....or no?

I can't answer for Rick B., but if this is the only bit of information you need I believe the answer can be found at Philippians 2:6 (which Rick B. quoted previously):
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8)
So Jesus growing up to be a man did not have the same knowledge as Jesus presiding in his pre/post incarnate state. Remember, Trinitarians believe Jesus had a dual nature and was fully God and fully man. Oft times he spoke from the perspective of either.
Could Jesus acquire knowledge? Yes, but an equality of knowledge was not something he wanted to grasp. He had to humble himself in order to live fully as a man.
Also I believe there is little doubt that Jesus grew in knowledge as he aged:
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 1 Corinthians 13:11
Bonjour Viole,Your post is huge. I can count several hundreds of bits of useless information.
What I ask is only one bit. One little tiny bit. Maybe two, if we allow for maybes or dunnos.
So, do the Son and the Father share the same information? That does not appear to be so difficult, I hope.
I really do not need any theory, philosophy, explanations, Bible stuff, Philippians, Corinthians, whatever ians, spiritual noise, justifications or anything of the sort. That can come later, if requested, which is not, at the moment.
Just a simple yes/no/maybe. The same bit I would give you if you asked me a direct question about what I believe to know.
So, what is it?
Yes, no or... maybe.
Still waiting....

P.S. If I do not get a clear cut one liner answer to that question, i will make the safe assumption that you guys do not know either.
Now, although my answer was very clear, you certainly can make your determination that my answer nothing but "theory, philosophy, Bible stuff" and therefore not clear.
I wonder what makes you suspect that

Since you "know exactly what the Bible teaches" Then we all would greatly appreciate that you would finally (no one has yet) demonstrate, from the Biblical texts presented, that they are not declaring that Jesus is God.
If Jesus is the Word Rev.19:13
And if that same Word is God John 1:1-18
Then Jesus is God John 20:26-29
If God alone is to be worshipped Matthew 4:8-10
And if Jesus receives and accepts worship without any Biblical admonishment but full approval John 9:35-38; Rev. 22:1-3
Then the Bible declares that Jesus is God
You did not answer my question, which was: "Could you provide such evidence that these teachings [RCC] are false, and I ask this being a non-Catholic and a non-Christian?".
Is that so difficult to say yes or no? What would you think if upon the question "is space relative?" i would delegate you to Wheeler's treatise on relativity? I can tell you straight away whether space is relative or not.
So, just one whee bit of information. Do the Son and the Father share the same knowledge?
Yes....or no?

Did you know that the heart has a brain too?1+ 1= 2 and, in some cases,
1 + 1 = 10
Even though this is true, my experience tells me that you might get the impression I do not know what I am talking about.
Am I wrong?

Fact--The bible teaches not even an angel is to get worship--Only to God.
Every trinity translation on earth has mortals bowing in worship to a mortal( Jesus)= never occurred.

Jesus was LOWER than the angels while on earth-a mortal( Hebrews 2:7-9) -- reality--They bowed in obeisance to their king, not in worship---a translating error to mislead--contradicts Gods truth.
Errors make it look like Jesus is God.
Error at John 1:1--no capitol G God belongs in the last line --it makes the 2nd line read--And God was with God--that is an impossibility--there is one God to all-The Father-1Cor 8:6---one would think the bible teaches 2 gods, but only because of translating errors.
What are you talking about? The RCC didn't have a military in the war, nor did they support Hitler. Matter of fact, Hitler gained less support in Catholic Bavaria than in the Protestant areas in the north to the point that he refused to go to that area after a while.They killed the members of their own religion on the allied side for Adolf Hitler--a mass murderer---not the Jesus of the bible--his opposite.
