That is the question, who sits ont he left hand side of God, if Jesus sits on the right?

I feel that would be our Logical Thought constructs.

Think of our entire Mind as God. Our right side of the brain is intuitive and connected to the divine perception of life. Our left side of the brain is logical and connected to the human perception of life.

If God is omnipresent then He doesn't have a 'side' to sit beside of

However, if we were to look at scripture and the idea of Trinity, then wouldn't the logical answer be the Holy Spirit?

If the scripture tells us that there is only 1 throne in heaven, then in my opoinon id say nothing. Since the right hand represents Power..there is neither any on the right nor any on the left.

yah that would make the most sense....

Dibbs !

I believe guys that its a figure of speech to illustrate Jesus' role compared to that of God Jehovah/Yahweh. When someone says, "Hes my right hand man," it refers to a close, trusted accomplice, the "second in command" if you will. I do not believe its meant to be taken literally.

He uses his left hand to hold his scepter, ergo, when he is not holding his scepter, it's by his left side

An aluminum TV tray with last weeks Readers Digest and a Diet Coke?

just for the heck of it, lets say it was lucipher.
so he can have a good guy and a bad guy on each side of him (just like the cartoons, except they werent on his shoulder)

lol don't forget the remote !

The holy spirit I would think.

Yeah makes sense. The Trinity, it would make sense to have the Holy Spirit on the other side to fill the Trinity.

Since the original Trinity was Brahma the Father, Vishnu the son/incarnate word and Siva the Holy Spirit, I would say Siva would be on the left and Vishnu on the right.

Or El on the right and Asherah on the left ...

This is an interesting site. The Origins of the Trinity Doctrine


Excerpt: The Akkadians, too, grouped certain deities into trinities, like Anu, Bel, and Ea (the gods of heaven, earth, and waters), and Shamash, Sin, and Ishtar (sun-god, moon-god, and goddess of fertility). Tablet VI of The Creation Epic describes the building of Marduk’s temple (Esagila) in Babylon. In the following verse Marduk is given three names, “Anu-Enlil-Ea”: “For Anu-Enlil-Ea they founded his house and dwelling.” The gods of the Trinity of Thebes were the protector-gods of Thebes. In an Egyptian fresco Ramesses III is depicted with the Theban Trinity.
An Egyptian text of the 14th century BCE reads, “All gods are three: Amon, Re, and Ptah, and there is no second to them.” These three gods were subsumed into one of the three, Amon: “Hidden is his name as Amon, he is Re in face, and his body is Ptah.” This trinity is portrayed on a trumpet of Tutankhamen. An invocation in the Demotic Chronicle reads: “Apis, Apis, Apis! That is Ptah, Pre, Horsiese ... Apis is Ptah, Apis is Pre, Apis is Horsiese.” It formulates the unity of the three gods (Ptah, Pre, Horsiese) into one god, the god Apis. On an Egyptian amulet dating from the period around 100 CE, now in the British Museum, appear the three Egyptian deities Bait, Hathor, and Akori. On the opposite side of the amulet appears a distich (a strophic unit of two lines) which reads: “ One is {the god} Bait, one is {the god} Hathor, one is {the god} Akori - to these belongs one power. Be greeted, father of the world, be greeted, God in three forms {Gr. trimorjoV qeoV}.”


Excerpt: Here is something else that contributed to the confusing Jesus with God. God commanded, “You will not make wrongful use of the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.” (Exodus 20:7 NRSV

How about Jesus on the right and Abraxas on the left?

Interesting site GW. Thanks! Hopefully Christians will read closely After Jesus Died, Did His Disciples Believe He Is God?
