Yes.

Told you there was a passage in Psalms about that. See - you found it. You're studious. Jesus seems to be here and there in the different verses (19 of them, wow) regarding the throne. In Acts he was standing. Not sitting. Maybe Stephen didn't get a clear view.

Standing does not necessarily mean upright on two legs. A man can be in good "standing". It's archaic use of terms that do not always agree with modern day counterparts. Will we literalize the right hand and have Jesus sitting on that right hand of fingers and thumb and then standing on it, too?
Quote:
But Rev says the same thing. Then has them sitting together, as Psalms said. Then your passage offers to share it with everyone else. Takes the specialness out right there.
Back to Jesus ruling but subject to God. Why omit those two verses? They are very clear. Why would I Cor be so careful about stating that?

I already addressed that. God's incarnation is the man Christ Jesus. Like Adam. Adam ruled the world under God. Together they ruled, but Adam was under God. Same with Jesus. And the Father gave the Son dominion over the world to rule it. He is King of Kings.
And we are indeed also seated with Christ in heavenly places. Our concept of specialness is of no consequence to reality. It shows the saved to be extensions of God through Christ... which is God's purpose for all of humanity to begin with.
