Luke 

Luke 1:28

"And the angel(Gabriel) came in unto her(Mary), and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women," (Luke 1:28 KJV).


After reading this verse, some have become confused for, according to some, this shows Mary is being worshipped(Note, we are not claiming any group such as Catholicism worships Mary, merely that some have asked). It is important to understand what the word "hail" actually means. It means, according to Merriam-Webster, "to greet with enthusiastic approval ... to greet or summon by calling." This is why one may say they need to "hail a Taxi" for example. This phrase does not show worship but a formal greeting.

Luke 7:6-7

Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof


In this chapter, a Roman centurion called for Jesus to heal his servant(Luke 7:2). When Jesus got close to the home, some of the Roman's friends request for him to not enter the home. The reason is he believes he is not worthy to have a person such as Jesus in his home. From parents, friends, and bosses, we all invite them to our home; however, the centurion believed Jesus is above all these people, so much so, that he would not feel it right for him to enter his home. In the next verse, it is even said that "Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee," (Luke 7:7 KJV). That even being in his presence would feel wrong, for he is unworthy. 

Luke 19:27

"But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence," (Luke 19:27 NASB1995).

This verse comes from a parable that Jesus is saying, as it is written: "While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately. So He said, “A nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return. And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas (i.e. weight of money) and said to them, ‘Do business with this until I come back.’ But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’ When he returned, after receiving the kingdom, he ordered that these slaves, to whom he had given the money, be called to him so that he might know what business they had done. The first appeared, saying, ‘Master, your mina has made ten minas more.’ And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities.’ The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, master, has made five minas.’ And he said to him also, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’ Another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a handkerchief; for I was afraid of you, because you are an exacting man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.’ He said to him, ‘By your own words I will judge you, you worthless slave. Did you know that I am an exacting man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow? Then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest?’ Then he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’ And they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas already.’ I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence," (Luke 19:11-27 NASB1995). 

The point of this parable is to note a few key points about the kingdom of God (Luke 19:11). A nobleman is going to go out and become a king (Luke 19:12). The nobleman here is Jesus, the king who will return and reign over the new world and Heaven. The king gave his slaves one mina each and desired them to make more (Luke 19:13-16). The slaves are the slaves of Christ, that is, followers of Christ. Each servant was meant to go out and make good works and do things for the kingdom. Those who did good works receive benefits (Luke 19:16-19). God tells us to help others (Hebrews 13:16, James 1:27), and in return, God rewards us in the next life: "One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the Lord, And He will repay him for his good deed," (Proverbs 19:17 NASB1995).

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing," (2 Timothy 4:7-8 NASB1995). For those who do not do good works, their faith is dead (James 2:14-17).

Finally, we get to verse 27: "But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence," (Luke 19:27 NASB1995). This is the Lord speaking of bringing down judgment on those who live in sin: "So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God," (Romans 14:12 NASB1995). We all will give an account to the Lord, and God is our judge.

Luke 24:19

And He said to them, “What sort of things?” And they said to Him, “Those about Jesus the Nazarene, who proved to be a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people,


As seen in the verses, Jesus is called a prophet. Is this a problem for the Trinity? Well, not really. The Google definition of prophet goes as followed, "a person regarded as an inspired teacher or proclaimer of the will of God." So, did Jesus proclaim the word of God? Geez, I don't know, if only we knew. Not like the Bible talks about him making a ministry on earth or anything... Oh wait- So yes he is a prophet, this doesn't disprove him being God.
