“co-equal and co-eternal with God Son of Man”

Co-equil?

John 14:28 NIV -

You heard me say, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

1 Corinthians 15:28 NIV-

When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

1 Timothy 2:5 -

For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus

Co-equil?
***It has no bearing on the fact that Jesus claimed to God. How it’s all worked out as something to be understood is a matter for some other thread.

Perhaps this one:

Basically, it is a FACT that Jesus claimed to be God. How you deal with that FACT and come to an understanding is your own issue. But it does not have bearing on the FACT itself.

[Edward Teach]

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. - Philippians 2:5-7 (English Standard Version)

Was Thomas wrong? Was he rebuked for calling Jesus Christ God?

John 20:

26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
