Show me your proof

[Mr_Dew7]

My argument against "eternal divinity" is as follows:

1)"It's more praiseworthy to earn your praiseworthiness then not".

Okay, more praiseworth to earn praisworthiness than to not earn praisworthiness. So it is more honorable to become honorable, than to not be honorable? Agreed.

2)"Eternal praiseworthiness is not earned"

What? What cannot be earned is given by the Father. If He deems it necessary. As far as I am concerned, there is only one who is eternally praiseworthy, and that is the only one who has the ability to give said praiseworthiness away as a gift to those He deems fit, if there were ever such a person.

3)"Therefore temporal earned praiseworthiness is more praiseworthy than eternal praiseworthiness"

So being praise worthy in this present life is more praise worthy than being eternally praise worthy, because eternal praiseworthiness is a gift and it is not earned? Refer to bottom.

As for premise 1, I am unsure of it, because it just might be a preference I have with regards to praise.

If 3, is true, then why worship something we can be more praiseworthy than?

I believe that any gift from God is in essence of God, so it is absolutely worth more than anything we could earn on our own. So I don't believe that we can ever be more praiseworthy than the One who is eternally praiseworthy and gives eternal praiseworthiness to those whom He deems worthy of said praiseworthiness if such a person could or would ever exist. The only one He has made eternally praiseworthy is His son, Jesus. But that is in essence no different than giving His own gift to Himself, because Jesus is a part of Him who holds the power to give gifts.
