Jesus Identity

Jesus Identity Who is Jesus Christ of Nazareth?  According to Scripture he is not just a teacher, not just a prophet, not just a human, but is God. The 2nd person of the triune Godhead.  Colossians 2:9: “For in him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Looking at this truth God revealed to us: The fullness of deity Paul [by the Holy Spirit] is revealing the absolute deity of Christ. “In Him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form” means that everything that makes God who He is—His attributes, essence, and nature—resides fully in Jesus Christ. Bodily The word “bodily” points to the incarnation: God’s fullness was not temporarily present or symbolically expressed, but permanently and completely embodied in Christ’s human nature. [Two in one]. Paul wrote this verse to refute false philosophies and teachings in Colossae that tried to diminish Christ by exalting angels, mystical intermediaries, or human wisdom. Believers need nothing beyond Christ, becaus...

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...

Is God bloodthirsty?

Image
Q: Is God bloodthirtsty?  A: No.  While some attempt to explain this, most dont fully explain it well.(1) Here is what needs to be understood: The issue has to do with "perfection". God is perfectly  holy and we as fallen ones lost perfection when Sin entered thru Adam. The focus [in answering a question like this] needs to be on explaining it from this lense.  All Sin = is crime against God. All sin is an assault on God's character and nature, as we as his creation were made in His Image and to live righteously. Since Adam lost that righteous nature at the Fall, we all only deserve death AND damnation (since 1. in eternity; after death, we cannot be in His presence. Though made to have a relationship, a fellowship with God, its impossible both while we are sinners AND after death). 2. God must, as a just Judge, punish criminals.  When this is understood rightly, not only does it have to be punished eternal (since we are eternal beings), but beca...

Jesus has the same divine attributes of God

Jesus is the incarnate Son of God.  *He is was and eternally will be God. However, may have sought to dispute the claim, holding that Jesus was merely a good man but not God. Groups like Jehovah Witnesses and SDA translate their own versions of Scripture, attempting to write off the divine claims made about Christ.  Yet, it is impossible not to see the multiple divine attributes of Jesus throughout the pages of Scripture. You only have to look. A thorough examination of Scripture indicates that Jesus the Messiah holds multiple divine attributes that are only ascribed to God . *At least ten divine attributes are found in Scripture.[1] 1.  Jesus holds the divine attribute of life . "Is the Source" (Jn. 1:4; 14:6) The divine attribute of life describes the ability to provide life, even eternal life. This kind of life can only be given by one who oneself is eternal. “In him was life, and that life was the light of men” (Jn. 1:4).[2]“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the t...

Atheist asks: What kind of God??

God's Young Earth vs Evolution's Impossiblity

aka: Is God's Word Trustworthy? (Is what is in Scripture true). Q: Is it possible God used evolution? I feel confused about this.  A: This has only been an issue in the recent times of mankind's history, roughly 150 years. For all of mans existence everyone believed in God or at a future point a false god or gods. Nearly no one ever believed "no God" existed; one was noted in Scripture and was called a "fool." It is only because of Darwin's belief and because the Bible, Christianity and prayer were thrown out of school around 1954 that Atheists began slinking into public schools and Science industry that this became an issue. Today, Unsaved people (led by demons) run Public Schools and public colleges worked together for 16 years of a students education to twist truth, to dupe you; it is Satan's goal "to wreck your faith" before you graduate. You spend more time in School than at Church and in the Bible. They have you for entire days all ye...

Why so many leave Christianity?

Q: I think humans easily choose ‘me’ even when we think we choose ‘Him’ - it’s a daily decision to lay down our life and follow Him. One that we easily get distracted from doing and then become bitter and resentful when God isn’t the genie we thought he should be. Or maybe that’s just me? 😅  A: those who persevere to the end, will be revealed on that last day, and for believers it is The Day of Salvation, where we are revealed as the Redeemed.  No perseverance = not saved, never were Many came to Jesus for the wrong reasons; they believed a false gospel, so the disillusioned ones leave . 👉 They were never saved, so theres still hope for them...🙏 Understanding this (free book)  For these folk it isnt really deconstruction. Those who were never of us went from us Scripture says. And while some are innoculated to the gospel because they never actually understood it, once they understand it, it is possible they will be saved. For those... Pray, eng...

How can Jesus bear mans sins ?

How can Jesus bear that? He bore all the sins of every believer in him from Adam to the last human who will exist. A: He is God. He is a cosmic person. He is an eternal being. He is vast beyond us who can take that punishment. He gathers up all the punishment of all the suns of all who will believe, because sin must be punished. That frees God, satisfies His justice while offering grace to all who believe in Him. Every true believer in the OT era was waiting for this promised sacrifice, knowing no animal could provide that one true "once forever" sacrifice. Isaiah 53 talks of this & is the focal point of Isaiah. >>>>>> Fun facts about the book of Isaiah: 66 chapters as theres 66 books of Scripture in the Bible. The 1st 29 chapters are of judgment, like the number of books in the OT. The 2nd half, 27 chapters, like the 27 books of the NT, are about salvation. On the 29 chapters: *the 1st 9 chapters of the second half on salvation are about salv...

Animal Dominion

What did God say?  Core Verses Gen 1:26-28 The phrase "let them have dominion" is taken from the book of Genesis in the Bible. In Genesis 1:26, God says, "Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.'"  This verse is often interpreted as God granting humans authority and stewardship over the Earth and its creatures. It signifies that humans have been given the responsibility to care for and manage the natural world, acting as God's representatives on Earth. This dominion should be understood in the context of responsible and compassionate stewardship, rather than exploitation or abuse. We are to manage Earth's resources and it highlights the importance of wise and responsible stewardship. This would include animal population control, service animals to assust...

About GOD

Intro:  4 ways God reveals himself to mankind  WHO IS GOD? What does God reveal to mankind in the Scriptures about himself?  God reveals Himself to humans through His Word (the Bible) and through His Son (Christ Jesus). The more we study the Bible, the more we come to understand God’s characteristics, the qualities He possesses. As mortals, we struggle to grasp the power and majesty of the God who has created time, space, matter, and all life. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8).  A few things we will see once we understand more about God is that God’s faithfulness leads us to trust Him. His grace prompts gratitude in us. His power incites awe. His knowledge causes us to ask Him for wisdom (James 1:5). Ultimately because you now understand more about God it leads people to properly revere and conduct themselves in holiness and honor (1 Thessalonians 4:4–5).(1) There are man...

Only Truth Here -Homo+

What is your view on homosexuality+?  God created and designed sex to be in marraige and only between a married man and woman. I'm opposed to homosexual+ relationships and redefining marriage. Only God, as our Creator, has the right to define marriage, because He created mankind and marriage. He declared it is only between one man and one woman. God has clearly declared this from Scripture. Therefore my view is based God's truth as he YHWH has designed it and revealed thru His Word.  However, I do not "fear" (homophobia), or bash those who choose homosexuality; I still treat them like regular human being. I am hopful that they will see the error of that choice and repent of their sins and trust in Jesus [ follow God & his teachings as God has stated in Scripture, and not twist it for their perversion]. Christians are called to share truth and the Gospel, and so we cannot stay silent if we care about others.  As a Christian, (a true ...

JC Penny and gay couple advertizing

JC Penney Features Same-Sex Couple in May Catalogue JC Penny was a Christian owned and run company. The founders would be rolling over in their graves. I have been working in West Hollywood for a year now, and hate working there because of the blatant ads promoting homosexuality specifically a Gap ad and a few others billboards featuring two homosexual men with no shirts on kissing. We have to show outrage over these things (agendas) now, and let Hollywood and these companies realize that our voice will be heard. Our letters and online posts will warn them if they keep pushing this on us they will "only have gay customers" if they don't cease this. This shouldnt even be an issue in California. Voters in CA voted for a constitutional amendment for marriage is between a man and woman only. The gay groups keep pushing this aggressive behavior and attacking those who don't cave to their demands. This intimidation and terrorism towards those who dont agree with ...

Atheists nOtHiNg CrEaTeD iT

You believe Nothing made everything?  Atheists believe that nothing made everything. That is insanity. It is impossible. What's really happening is Atheists make up a worldview to suit their sinful lifestyle, that they're comfortable with so they can try to hid from God and truth. This is called idolatry, it is also a violation of the 1st of the 10 Commandments to Love God and have no other gods.  The 1st & 2nd Commandments go hand in hand, both emphasizing the need to give our worship exclusively to the one true God.  📺  Atheists should know  that fewer and fewer are believing in atheist, and recent research (2022) shows 91% believe in God, and only 3% are atheist. God said the fool has said to himself there is no God. The Word of God also tells us God laughs at the atheists from His Heavenly throne as think they control their own lives and thoughts and actions, ignore their Creator and live in sin. Atheists are blinded by, guided by and controlled superna...

Genuine Struggle with things of God

Genuine questions and struggles with never having found answers.  People who claim to be Christian aren't perfect. There are some who are not actually Christian; Scripture is very clear on this. But if you read the Bible, you would come to know this. I do honestly encourage you to read the Bible for yourself. It doesn't take long to do so.  Non believer, skeptic & many churchgoers have a basic lack of Biblical knowledge and lack of understanding the Scriptures. It's likely 90% of them left church because they never understood the Bible, true gospel, any teaching of Scripture & Biblical doctrine, but also lacked assurance of evidences and somehow incorrectly assumed 1. They were a Christian or 2. Had doubts cuz no one helped them solidify their faith based on evidence. But let's be honest- 3. They never read the Bible, and certainly haven't read it cover to cover even 2x.  For these people who are skeptics or claim to be believers, bring up objections or wond...
