Q: Preincarnate Christ, or the Father

Q: Who is walking in the Garden fellowshipping with Adam & Eve, speaking to Moses at Sinai & going in the cloud, and other areas God is speaking in OT, or present... is that always Jesus? Being the Word and the one sent by the Father? Or is the Father there/ speaking in some places in the OT?  If the latter, then both were speaking, and here, so how do we know which one in each situation? It never seems clear.  A: When it is a person it is a pre-incarnate Christ ie. The Angel of the Lord (Judges 6). But when it is a Theophany ie The voice from the burning bush (Exodus 3) it is God the Father. Yet we tend to say that Yahweh of the Old Testament is Jesus of the new.  A theophany is a manifestation of God in the Bible that is tangible to the human senses. Christophany is a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. In the Old Testament, the term "Angel of the Lord" is used in several passages, and interpret this figure as a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ. This i...

Pantheist asks

Have you misunderstand who God is & his abilities?  Is God in and of everything, or did He create it all and is present everywhere.  God is.... Self-existing : uncaused source of all being Infinite : unlimited, completely actualized Simple : undivided in being; not made of parts Spaceless : transcends space Timeless : transcends time; eternal Immaterial : spirit, not made of matter Omnipotent : all powerful Omnipresent : everywhere present Omniscient : all knowing Creator : Created all things that exist To learn more about God, who he revealed himself to be, this study on the Attributes of God and the related Resources will help you. It will further help you understand He Created us to have fellowship with and know Him; He is a personal God. It will also go to explain the problem mankind has and why we need Jesus. The Gospel makes sense (as all together) it brings clarity for which we can then embrace.  May God lead you to the truth, & you receive it.  Rel...

💥Cautions on popular people today

Cautions  about Bryce Crawford  Cautions  about using Jordan Peterson & other smart but unsaved people who lean towards a God or in a intelligent designer in conversations. And learn how to address convos where his beliefs, philosophy or he is actually brought up by the person you speak to. And swing it back to the gospel. Jordan P one   two    three    bonus Others  one    two    three    four    five    six   Charlie Kirk  not holding/standing on 6,000 year young earth. He handles convos well but he also embraced very wishy washy and pastors who don't hold to the authority of Scripture. And he might not yet understand Catholics are not Christians; apparently his wife is Catholic according to a recent 1:1 university video I saw. Hopefully shes no longer, and under his leadership at home is going to a Christian church. He also noted recently he thought Mormons were Christian...

P0pe

The next pope has been chosen. The world watches with reverence. Cameras flash. Robes are pressed. A name is announced. Applause erupts. The balcony doors open. And the smoke has barely cleared before the title is proclaimed: “Holy Father.” But Heaven does not hold elections.The throne of Christ was not handed down, voted on, or inherited. It was secured through blood, a cross, and an empty tomb. Psalm 2:6 says, “I have set my King on Zion.” That is Final. No Debate. No Successor. Men may wear titles, but none can carry the glory that belongs to Christ alone. Isaiah 42:8 says, “I am the Lord. That is my name. My glory I give to no other.” Not even to a man in a white robe. The Church(1) does not need a new shepherd. She has one. His name is Jesus. He was not selected in a secret room. He was raised in power before the eyes of angels, kings, and demons alike. This is not about mocking a man, but magnifying the One who is truly holy. Popes die. Priests sin. Systems fail. But Jesus? He is...

How can God be good if he "commanded genocide"?

Image
A: Did he tho? God is perfect and holy, unlike sinful fallen man. God is not like us, he is very otherly. Youre thinking as a fallen sinful person, not looking at things rightly. Your wrong & very much unjustly judging God.  When God judges, it's justice not genocide.  So, let's stop calling divine judgment "genocide," as if God was acting like a human tribal warlord. This wasn't random violence. It was righteous justice. The nations God judged were overflowing with evil-child sacrifice, ritual abuse, and corruption that spread like poison. He gave them centuries to repent.  They didn't. Judgment came. The question isn't "Why would God judge them?" The real shock is "Why hasn't He judged us yet?" God's mercy delays what our sin deserves. And when He finally does act, we call it cruel? You want a God who cares about evil, yet you complain when He judges it. You want justice without wrath. That god doesn't ex...
