NASB20

Christian
Acts 26:28 NASB20 - Agrippa [replied] to Paul, "In a short [time] you [are going to] persuade me to make a Christian [of myself.]"
1 Peter 4:16 NASB20 - but if [anyone suffers] as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

Christians
Acts 11:26 NASB20 - and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers of people; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

I am open to discussion of matters of this concern. If you think that I am out to lunch let me know. Otherwise I would just say I am a Christian and an adherent of Christianity.

Great yet the simple fact you do believe some kind of "doctrine". Just start talking about faith or the gifts or the baptism of the sweet holy Spirit. Start talking about "Caught up" on and on and on. For me "Christianity" is just someone that follows Christ.

So don't know if it was asked but what "doctrine" are you talking about?

The Trinity. Dispensationalism. And the such.

I have no idea what that means or how to answer your question here.

You suggested that God wasn't in human form when meeting Abraham. I'm asking what form was He in?
And you still haven't answered the question of how someone can see God and live.

how do you know that Jesus was not just in human form?
the entire reason for that Body to exist was only to be a Sacrifice.
a Human Form can perform what a Human Being needs for Salvation, as long, as it is God, Who, is in the Human Form.

SO what's the problem?? Doctrines that are not found in the Bible aren't "Christian Doctrines".

The Holy Spirit put the Seed/fertile Egg into the womb of Mary by the process of Overshadowing.
No Sex involved.
the Spirit enters the human body and plants the Seed/fertile Egg into the "Womb."

how, in any definition, does that make Jesus human and not just human form?

I don't understand what you mean by form. Jesus is the Son of God, a man.

Jesus is not the biological Son of God, Jesus, is playing a Role, as the Son of God.

Begotten means Adoption:

when you became filled with God, you were Adopted as a son of God.

If Jesus is Lord, then He is God. He accepted worship as God when He walked the earth. He'd be blaspheming if He wasn't God.

This is an interesting response and causes me to think a particular way.

Jesus is the Unique One and Only Son of God. Some versions or translations of the Bible say that Jesus is the Only Begotten Son Of God. I don't know that I have ever said that I have been filled with God. But I do believe that if I am a true believer the Spirit of God dwells in me.

I don't believe that Jesus is playing a role.

The Bible says that God made Jesus Lord.

Acts 2:36 NASB20 - "Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified."

then answer this.
the Holy Spirit, is the Spirit of God.
the Holy Spirit OVERSHADOWED Mary to place the fertile Egg into her Womb, bypassing sex.
had the Spirit of God been sexual in Creating Jesus, how can Jesus be Human?
