ArchivedJesuss Deity...I really can’t see what the problem is at all! It proves my point. Son of Man is a biblical, synonymous term for Man! Therefore, Daniel was a ‘son of man’ and ‘Ezekiel’ was a ‘son of man’. In fact, every human being is ‘a son of man’. And that includes Jesus! And in turn every human being is 'a son (descendant) of Adam' Hence, (Psa 8:4) What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? SON OF MAN = MAN!! GOD Almighty doubly states therefore in Num 23:19 that HE IS NOT HUMAN! GOD IS GOD. GOD IS NOT A MAN! HE IS NOT A ‘SON OF MAN’ [Job 9:32, Hosea 11:9] (Mat 16:12) Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. LEAVEN in this context is DOCTRINE!! Jesus warns us about the doctrine of the Pharisees & the Sadducees. I am saying that to say, that one must beware, avoid and reject the leaven of the Hellenistic and Philosophical Greek/Roman so-called Church fathers and their theologians. It was men such as Origen, Clement of Alexandria, Athanasius, Augustine, etc … who introduced terms and concepts such as original/imputed sin, the immaculate conception, GOD-MAN and the such like. This is nonbiblical, nonscriptural leaven which does not represent the faith that was once delivered unto the saints. [Jude 3] It should be avoided at all costs. BTW, ‘the immaculate conception’ means that Mary was without sin in order that she could give birth to the Christ. I am confident that you do not believe this Catholic doctrine/leaven! The term ‘virginal conception’ is more in line with the scriptures. Jesus was ‘sinless’ because he was a new creation … a ‘new’ man … a ‘new’ Adam. If Almighty GOD could make a sinless man, namely Adam, out of the dust of the earth; he certainly can make a sinless man, the ‘Last Adam’, namely Jesus, of the seed of a woman. Note: Adam was without sin until he fell! Where he failed, Jesus however triumphed. Adam and Jesus, nevertheless, were both MEN! BOTH HUMAN BEINGS! Jesus by his very conception, shows that he was not ‘a normal man’ – he was and is the Son of GOD! BTW, considering the way that Adam came into the world, himself being the son of GOD. [Luke 3:38] Would we call Adam, 'a normal man'?? Think about it! Hello! Jesus is no longer ‘mortal’ … he is now immortal and he has been exalted higher than the angels! Therefore, GOD Almighty has indeed entrusted all authority and all power to an immortal human being and has placed all things in subjection to this ‘man’ including the angels. The OT prophesied this. The NT declares this. GOD declares this. This is the very basis of ‘the Gospel of the Kingdom’ I encourage all to study and investigate this until it makes sense! It made sense to the OT prophets. It made sense to the Early Church. They preached this message everywhere. It ought to therefore, make sense to us! Well it saddens me when people will adhere to a doctrine which clearly contradicts the very words of GOD Himself. His word cannot be broken. GOD is not a man! GOD is immortal & eternal. GOD CANNOT DIE! The leaven of ‘the GOD-MAN’ is of the rudiments of this world [Col 2:8] – it is not of the doctrine of Christ! Shun it! Reject it! Christ never taught it. The apostles never taught it! The Scriptures do not teach it. The 'GOD-MAN' doctrine/leaven has its roots in paganistic, hellenistic philosophy. Shun it at all costs. Compare: (Acts 14:11) ... The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. The Scriptures declare a simple message that a child could understand … There is ONE GOD, who is invisible, immortal, eternal, who has never been seen, who is Spirit [John 4:24] This ONE GOD made is human son, Lord of all. His Son is now immortal yet he is still a man [1 Tim 2:5, Acts 17:31, 2:22; etc] (John 2:22) When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. Over 20 times in the NT, after the resurrection of Christ, the Apostles declared that Almighty GOD raised Jesus of Nazareth from the dead; seeing that they believed the word which Jesus had said; they understood what he meant (after his resurrection). Jesus was speaking in a parabolical manner; whilst his enemies may have misunderstood him (as they commonly did e.g. v. 20); his disciples however, after his resurrection understood what he meant! Therefore, they declared that it was GOD Almighty who raised him from the dead. They never taught or preached anywhere that Jesus literally raised himself from the dead! Think about it! (1 Cor 15:15) Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ : whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. To teach otherwise would be to make false witnesses out of the Apostles. They never preached/taught anywhere that Jesus literally raised himself from the dead. Jesus spoke as a prophet and as such, spoke the very words of GOD. Therefore, they understood that it was to be GOD Himself who was to raise Christ from the dead. In fact, think about it! How could Jesus raise himself from the dead! He couldn't - because he was dead!! DEAD MEN DON'T RAISE THEMSELVES!! Conc. Baptism … the Apostles solely baptized in the Name of Jesus. They never used a triune formula. [Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5; 1 Cor 1:1:13, etc] Conc. John 3:13 … John is narrating after the event i.e. after the ascension. Don’t be fooled by the ‘red ink’. John 3:13 onwards are the words of John. |
