Who is Jesus' God?

Who is Jesus' God? Here is the summarized answer: As who? God himself or as Human?  Jesus [also known as "the Word" prior to his incarnation] is OF the triune Godhead from eternity. He along with the Father and Holy Spirit ALWAYS existed. After creating the world (and at the right time)...The Word came to earth and "took on" human flesh, [born through a woman], in order to be the Savior because God calls for mans blood [everything points to Calvary] and wrath to fall on someone [see OT sacrifices "shadow example"] but the real deal had to be human. Thus God put on flesh and became a man. The perfect sinless man. The 2nd Adam. To be the propitiation for our sins. The 3 are equal and of the same essence and nature [perfect].  However "in the plan of redemption", because Jesus was sent from God and put on human flesh [became the GodMan> 100% God and 100% human] he therefore "had to submit in his humanity" to the Father -and humbly...

Plea to obey humbly examine the Gospel

Q: Why do I do wrong things? Why are they wrong? Why am I a sinner? What else is there than this life I know and live?  A: Good questuions. I will answer this.  The simple answer is that you live as you do [and with those desires and feelings] because humanity is trapped in a " sin nature."  This is because of the Fall in Eden [at the begining]. That is where man lost "the righteous nature." Thus, Jesus was promised to come [and has come already] to restore what was lost. And all who come to him for salvation and righteousness are indeed redeemed & restored.  From a biblical perspective, the Bible [which is God's Word to mankind] clearly declares sinners will live in wickedness because its all they can do [they're only free to sin]. So they desire to sin more and more (and also gravitate to specific sins). All sin is viewed as wicked "opposition" to God and his righteousness. The Scriptures clearly do address it as rebellion & abominati...

What is the purpose of mankind? 📍

Purpose of Mans Existence. Man’s chief end and highest purpose in life is  " to glorify God and enjoy Him forever" Read (Romans 11:36; 1 Corinthians 6:20; 1 Corinthians 10:31; Psalm 86:9).  God said of mankind,"... I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them” Isaiah 43:7.  “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created."  Revelation 4:11 Ephesians 2:10 states that God created people in Christ Jesus for a purpose: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do". This verse also teaches that people are not accidents, but were created on purpose for a purpose.  What is your only comfort in life and death?                                                    ...

Does God actively intervene in a believers life?

Q: I am curious to get help on my biggest struggle in Christianity. I’ve been a lifelong believer, though took time in college to challenge my beliefs by joining a high credit world religion course. I joined Hindu potlucks, visited Buddhist temples, learned about witchcraft, presented on Scientology, sat patiently as my professor pointed at me directly and said, “by the end of this course, you won’t feel the same about Jesus”, only to end exactly where I started; Christianity is the only religion that made any logical sense to me. My final essay was supposed to highlight what I changed my mind about, and I landed an A by declaring that my foundation was only "solidified" by the criticism and review of other religions.  I say all of that to note that while I pragmatically believe in Christianity, I’ve struggled as I’ve aged to connect emotionally due to my unsure perspective on God’s level of intervention in our lives. I don’t believe in predestination, but free will, which ha...

Q regarding attempted assassination of Trump

Image
Q: When I see stuff like this [image] I wonder, does it mean since another person was hit and the other person who died, were they nit not wearing the armor of God? 🤷‍♂️ Are we to care less about them? How should believers be thinking about this situation? A: Evil people commit evil acts .  The murderous criminal has met his fate.  About Trump and those who lost their lives... Here are a few things I think Christians should be clear about theologically given the attempted assassination of former President Trump. (And more answers on God intervening in the lives of humans).  First , a miracle is an extraordinary event with a supernatural cause. We can certainly identify extraordinary events—like a shot missing a head by a hair. Second, the fact that another person died doesn’t mean God DIDN’T intervene miraculously to save Trump’s life. I have especially seen nonbelievers respond with disgust to Christians saying God miraculously saved Trump because that...

Why Pray if God's will is done anyway?

Image
Q: Why Pray if God's will is done anyway? This can be answered here or here @24:07-30:35 mark The goal isnt sinful sefish desires being met.  Man's Prayer doesnt make God do things. He doesnt exist to do what we want, quite the opposite. And we (who walk in truth and the faith) dont say well God isnt doing what I want [including answering prayers the way I want them answerd], so phowey, or whoa as me. No. Prayer is to 1. Communicate with God, and 2. align ourselves to God's Will.  ....And prayer itself is a privilege.  Related Understanding Prayer , and related helps.  Resources for Believers

When is a boy considered a man?

Image
Q: When does a Boy become a man?  A: 18-21 I lean towards the latter.  Read Exodus 30:12-14; Leviticus 27:2-5; Numbers 1:2-3. There is no justification for a lower age. Sometimes people suggest 12 (Luke 2:42), but in Mark 5:41-42 the 12-year-old is called "little girl". This also explains why in USA a lot of things are not legalized till age 21.  Side note: Men also do not have a fully developed brain until between 35 and 40, which could be why most men do not marry until that age. For a women its around 25.  This also explains why no child in college today is capable of making well informed decisions, and don't use critical thinking or understand logic. Neither do children or teens (in the cesspool of today's public school systems).  Further look into this in regards to this topic Related to the topic of women teaching, it is always the best practice for men to be the teachers at home and in the church, the problem is there's few men in church and ...

"Have an open mind"

Image
Q: What do you say when someone says: " Read John 21:25.  I have an open mind and believe that there is more outside of the Holy Bible that talks about Jesus Christ being the Son of God". A: um...Whats the point being made here? 1. Is this saying(?):  " Read John 21:25,  have an open mind and believe that there is more  outside  of the Holy Bible that talks about Jesus Christ  being the Son of God ". If so... Is it a demonic spirit, thru a cult member or quasi Christian religion member, twisting sth to get you to believe there's more about God or Jesus  outside Scripture  today, that they claim to know about (as if we dont have all God gave us)? Or an attempt to try to  further  guide a convo to decieve you about so called missing OT books?  2. Is it asking you to realize in general there's non Christian early historical references to Jesus too, that we can and should believe.  Well.. A. If you mean there's more from God: ...
