”Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.“
Clear statement of the glorified Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, who ascended to the throne at the right hand of God to rule and reign and whose kingdom is without end.
"and God said Let Us make man in our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth".
No, our greatest tragedy as humans is the fact that we strive to reject God from our lives, when that happens, anything else finds room to set in and being destroyed.
I agree. I've never been religious myself, maybe should be, I dunno. What I do know is most people need some sort of moral structure, and a successful society needs a shared dogma to believe in, and a dogma that fosters success. Christianity is the best ever - a revival is our only hope. Smart mega-influencers like Rogan and Brand moving that way is very good to see. Woke-ism, climate-hysteria, furry insanity are attempts for those with weak character or limited intellect to fill a spiritual void.
SteelJ, As Jesus said to Nicodemus (teacher of teachers) 'you are so close the heaven'. I don't claim a religion, but I have a personal relationship with Jesus of the Bible. In the short 30 + years Jesus taught on the earth he battled daily against the 'religious' leaders of the day. Jesus set mankind free from the restraints of religion and laws, all one needs to do is accept that gift. As you noted, many prominent media influencers are beginning to see that maybe this Jesus guy was on to something. Read John chapter 3 in the Bible if you're interested in the Jesus and Nicodemus conversation.
”O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!“
Psalms 8:1 NKJV

LORD = YHWH = Yahweh. The Name above all others.
”Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.“
Philippians 2:9-11 NKJV

Clear statement of the glorified Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, who ascended to the throne at the right hand of God to rule and reign and whose kingdom is without end.
"The name above all names" etc, meaning the name of YHWH - another good passage for showing the Son's equality with the Father.
"and God said Let Us make man in our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth".
Does that include furries??
