QUESTIONED VERSES:
[Acts 7:55] But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God
[Hebrerw 12:2] Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
ANSWER
As I had been saying, Jesus was a spirit of God who came down from Heaven in order to save the world. Jesus was the spirit or word which was sent forth by God to create all things, so they are one in nature. Kindly analyze the verse below;
[Isaiah 48:16] “I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there I Am; and now the Sovereign Lord has sent Me with his Spirit”.
COMMENT: The speaker of the verse above says that He exists even before the Creation period, so He is God. And then, this God is sent by the Sovereign Lord with His Spirit.
Jesus claimed that he proceeded forth from the Father (source Spirit), and came down from Heaven. And also, he has the capability to send a spirit from the Father. Meaning, he has power over the Father in this instance. Ponder the verses below;
[John 8:42] Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.
[John 6:38] For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
[John 15:26] “When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, He will testify about Me.
Jesus also told us that they are one with the Father, kindly read the verses below;
[John 10:30] I and the Father are one
[John 14:10] He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me?
Even the Quran testifies that Jesus is a spirit or word that proceeded from Allah, kindly read;
[66:12] And Mary, daughter of ‘Imran, whose body was chaste, therefor We breathed therein something of Our Spirit. And she put faith in the words of her Lord and His scriptures, and was of the obedient.
[4:171] O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him . . .
COMMENT: Verse 66:12 tells us that Jesus is something (part) of the spirit of Allah breathed into Mary. Verse 4:171 tells us that Jesus is a spirit or word that proceeded from Allah.
God is one Being, yet He has the ability to distribute His Spirit in many ways. Just as water has one nature but can spread across different places on the earth, it can also gather from many locations into one body. Likewise, air has one nature, yet it is present within every breathing creature. In the same way, God can pour out His Spirit upon all people, as prophesied in Book of Joel 2:28, demonstrating His ability to distribute His Spirit to humanity. God can manifest His presence in various ways and reveal Himself through different persons or forms while remaining one divine Being.
