Christ is not at the right hand of God – Christianity for dummies
The right hand of God is the power of the Lord of Heaven and earth. Jesus does not sit at the right hand of God; He is God who was manifest in the flesh.
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.
Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
The correct translation of the verse above is our Lord dwells as the right hand of God. The Lord our God is one Lord. To suggest there are two separate God’s is beyond ludicrous (Deut 6:4, Mark 12:29, Eph 4:5).
Ex 15:6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
The right hand of God symbolizes His incredible power
Psa 48:10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
The right hand of God also represents the justice of God. Our Lord will bring about everlasting righteousness (Dan 9:24).
Isa 48:13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
The hand of God alludes to the Creator of all things, and also the God of our strength and refuge (Isa 40:28, 41:13, Psalm 63:8).
Acts 2:33 Therefore being the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
Jesus is the right hand of God and is exalted above all (Psalm 97:9, 108:5, 118:16).
Stephen who was full of the Holy Ghost, looked up into heaven, and saw the glory of God, even Jesus dwelling as the right hand of God (Acts 7:55).
Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth as the right hand of God
It is a grave error to suggest that the right hand of God is anything but a metaphor describing the awesome power and strength of God. To suggest that Jesus Christ after that He was risen, is separated somehow from God is but a false doctrine.
John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
