Kevmo: “is it your position that Christ was supposed to be the ACTUAL son of David (long dead) or was He getting at the level of respect intended?”
Seems to me, Jesus was talking about, in your words, “the level or respect intended” in calling certain human beings “gods” or “Lord”.
***I see you did not answer the question.
In both cases, in Matthew 22:44, the word “Lord” translates kyrios.
However, the original Hebrew of Psalms 110:1, which Jesus quotes uses the terms Yahweh and adoni. “adoni”, with which Jesus refers to himself, was never a term for God.
Instead, it is a term of respect for human beings.
***Interesting. Perhaps if you had been posting like this before it became obvious you have a heretical agenda, we could have had an interesting discussion.
Kevmo: “Do you even know what you’re talking about?”
Yes, and I have expert help from books when needed..

Kevmo: “Because He was humble and did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped. Perhaps you’ve heard that phrase before? Nahh, I doubt it.”
Indeed, the word “grasp” in Luke 9:45 refers to the “Son of Man”
***Bzzzt. Wrong. And it’s obfuscation. It’s from Ephesians 5, yet another example of how the followers of Christ early on were worshipping Him as God.
5Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.…
a term which in no way-shape-or-form can mean a co-equal person in a triune God-head.
***Looks like you simply got another thing wrong, heretic.
Kevmo: “You’re projecting.”
No, but you are certainly deflecting.
***You’re a heretic.
Sorry, FRiend, but the supposed "heretical agenda" is all a figment of your vastly overheated imagination.
It's totally out of control, rendering you no longer capable of rational thought, as this comment demonstrates.
I'm sorry about that.
