Picture two individuals:But your claim @JAL is, if God did not have to grow into being God, i.e. did not have to labor/suffer for anything to be or become God, if He just always was, etc, or just always had all of His Godly or God-like traits, etc, then He does not deserve praise and/or worship, or anything else we would give Him, for being God, etc...?
And I'm trying to understand all the reasoning involved behind that claim, etc...?
And the "why" of why you think that, etc...?
Now I am of the view that two members of the Trinity did have to learn, etc, but were always God, etc, but that, at least from the very, very beginning, etc, only the Father God alone never ever did not, or never had to, etc...
But I don't see what that has to do with any of them not being deserving or praise and/or worship as God, etc...?
So maybe you could explain a little, etc...?
And I guess I'll leave people with just this scripture to wrangle around and/or debate, etc, a scripture that not very many like to ever bring up, etc...
Hebrews 5:8-9- "Though He (Jesus Christ) was a (the) Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered (went through). And (after) having been perfected, He became the author (messenger) of eternal salvation (life) to all who obey Him."
God Bless!
(1) One is lazy sloth. Does nothing is whole life but says he should be praised just because of being a human being - just because of who he is.
(2) The other labors/suffers diligently to help people.
Which of these two persons merit praise? Isn't it obvious?
