Father and Son are both described rightly by John in his second epistle as (singular) Divinity. Or as God, when translated that way in English. That singularity is not a contradiction of them being two independent beings, able both to corroborate each other or not corroborate. This Divinity is not only ascribed to the Father but also to the Son. Why? It is surely because the Son fully does the Father’s will, teaches the Father’s teachings, represents the Father, and is Son of the Father, and importantly, he is the one the Father sets apart and sends into the world, who will judge all, and will have all things subjected to him by the Father, until the day he hands it all over to the Father and is subject to the Father forever. Then the Father will be God, the one true God forever, but with Jesus the Son at His side forever too. Can others be described as Divinity in this sense? If we believe and are born again, we can share in this Divinity, having it within us. We are not made the Divinity in the sense that the Father confers it on the Son, no. We share what Jesus is given and eventually, if we overcome and are found worthy of the resurrection and rapture, rule with Jesus Christ for a thousand years. Yet, it is shown in Revelation, that while those who overcome do sit with Jesus on his throne, it is only the Son ultimately forever there sitting on the Father’s throne with the Father. Then, it is Father who is the one true God, to whom all things, including the Son, will be subject forever.
