the Son of God. Why are you offended by the fact that Jesus is equal with God the Father and that Jesus is God?
you are basing this on what the inbelieving jews said. it is they who believed The statement I am Gods Son was claiming equality with God, Jesus never did that. they were offended of the statements Jesus made about being His Son. God made man from the beginning in Hois own image and Likeness man. ( genesis 1:27) adam Gave that away and then all were made in His fallen image ( genesis 5:3) Jesus whole purpose was to redeem us from that mortal image of man, and make us again in the image of God.
Jesus was In Gods image, that doesnt translate to Him bieng the Father. thats why Jesus wasnt going around saying " Im God" rather His claim was " I am the Son of God" if the bible says that through Faith in Jesus Christ His Only begotten Son, makes us children of God. does that then make us dieties as well? because Gods spirit Lives in us again through Jesus? no it doesnt make us dieties, and where are you guys getting the ideas from where are those scriptures?
the Jews in john 5:18 their motivation for wanting to Kill Jesus, is they were interpreting Him saying " Im God" kind of like you are. Gods spirit was in Jesus thats why he is saying " I am one with the Father" and He also explains that Gods spirit comes to Live in Us who believe in Jesus the Son of God repeatedly. your logice is way off base. there is One God, and One Lord and Christ. yeah they are One, as are all who put thier faith In Jesus the Son of God.
1 john 4:15 "
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God
does Being one with God who is spirit living in us, does that then make us God as well? or make us dieties ? of course it doesnt. Jesus didnt claim equality with God He expressly says " the Father is greater than I " <<<is that a claim of Im equal to God? or did the jews Just not get it, so they crudified Him for saying " I am Gods Son ?
if you or anyone else is saying " I am the Chold of God" that doesnt make us equal to Him.
Jesus calls the disciples brothers. are we made brothers to God? or are we made His children? the father is God, Jesus is His Son. boith Lord and Christ. thats not herecy, its Just the truth of what the Bible says, not my opinion just what scripture makes clear. if Jesus is God, then so are you being one with Him ( if you are) but if Jesus is the Son of God, and you are One with Jesus. what does that make you? a child of the Living God, not equal, but begotten through Jesus.
you guys can accuse me of anything you wish, the only Judgement that matters to Me, is that Of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
consider the word made flesh was " the glory of the only begotten" as it is written, and that Jesus says plainly The father is Greater than I . it seems to assume He is God is Just a heretical teaching that was floated into the world and then spread. because its not ever written anywhere in the Bible.
Jesus was tempted of the devil, God cannot be tempted. its not unclear who Jesus is, its Just pre concieved ideas in peoples minds that stops understanding.
why does Jesus always maintain that His words are not from Him, But from the one who sent Him?
Why does scripture maintain that Jesus is the Son of God? why did none of the aposltes ever say " Jesus Is god the father?
why did Jesus maintain the father is greater than I , He sent me to save you and to speak the truth I heard from Him?
Why does Jesus continually make the point " I can do nothing of myself, it is the father living in me who is doing the works?
why then does peter have the ability to raise the dead girl tabitha? is not the father Living in Peter who is in Christ Jesus doing the works? Jesus Is ans was the Son of God, the promised Christ to come all through the ot. thats not herecy, its Just what the Bible actually says.
1 corinthians 8:6 "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Notice we ore Of the Father, and we are by Jesus the Lord. Jesus Had a God and father, and He says its the same God and father WE have
john 20:17 "
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
does the One God have a God who is greater than He?
john 14:28 "Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Jesus didnt claim equality to God, He was always very clear to make sure no one thought that, yet the jewish understanding claimed He was claiming equality to God and crucified Him for it.
are these criptures "herecy" because you possibly missed them in your thinking and dont want to be wrong? so its easier to express your opinion and then label anyone who disagrees a heretic?
Ill stick with The scriptures that arent unclear and simply require One to accept them. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, God his father Made Him Lord and Christ because He obeyed God while He was in the flesh and was crucified on the basis of blind mens interpretation of what He was saying.
acts 2:22-23 "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
acts 2:36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
if peter was teaching Herecy, paul was teaching herecy, Jesus was teaching herecy, the bible as a whoe is teaching herecy...ill stick With that over anyones opinion thats contrary.
