ArchivedIs Jesus really God?Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough for you to understand. Listen, I didn't imply not being able to handle an open debate with anyone in here. You can repeat yourself over and over again about "parameters" and such and such... I'm not being bossy around here. All I said is that I wanted to debate with you at this time, no one else. I also made it known that if somone(or if the majority builds up) comes right out in the open and asks for my attention, whether it be to answer their question or whatnot, then and only then I will make contact with you over PM/E-Mail. Look, you don't have to accept that if you don't feel like it, but I just want you to understand what I'm saying. I don't care if people debate/argue amongst themselves with each other in this very same thread while you and I are one-on-one. All I ask is not to be interrupted while I ask you questions that I have in mind. NOW, is that crystal-clear enough for you? And to answer your question: yes, you have made yourself clear, but you see, I just wasn't satisfied with that. Sorry. Who was Abraham? Why is Abraham mentioned in that verse? What is the meaning of "I Am"? Don't worry, I won't correct you just incase you get it wrong. Maybe I'll ask you for another verse, or something. So get ready. Aineo, LISTEN TO ME! You didn't answer my question. I asked you who is YOUR Mediator??? Simple question with a simple answer. The answer shouldn't even be longer than 1 or 2 words. C'mon now! If you believe Jesus is God, then it would pose a problem for you if you say that Jesus Christ is your Mediator. How can Jesus be between Himself, God, and men? If you look up 'Mediator' in the dictionary, it will explain to you this: "One who intervenes between TWO persons who are at variance, with a view to reconcile them. This word is not found in the Old Testament; but the idea it expresses is found in Job 9:33, in the word "daysman" (q.v.), marg., "umpire." This word is used in the New Testament to denote simply an internuncius, an ambassador, one who acts as a medium of communication between TWO contracting parties. In this sense Moses is called a mediator in Gal. 3:19. Christ is the one and only mediator between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5; Heb. 8:6; 9:15; 12:24). He makes reconciliation between God and man by his all-perfect atoning sacrifice. Such a mediator must be at once divine and human, divine, that his obedience and his sufferings might possess infinite worth, and that he might possess infinite wisdom and knowlege and power to direct all things in the kingdoms of providence and grace which are committed to his hands (Matt. 28:18; John 5:22, 25, 26, 27); and human, that in his work he might represent man, and be capable of rendering obedience to the law and satisfying the claims of justice (Heb. 2:17, 18; 4:15, 16), and that in his glorified humanity he might be the head of a glorified Church (Rom. 8:29). This office involves the three functions of prophet, priest, and king, all of which are discharged by Christ both in his estate of humiliation and exaltation. These functions are so inherent in the one office that the quality appertaining to each gives character to every mediatorial act. They are never separated in the exercise of the office of mediator." No, I didn't get an answer. Try again. This is an open debate Forum, yes I know that. I'll keep that in mind too. Again, I never said or implied that I cannot handle an open debate. What do you think we are doing? We are debating. I'm just simply asking that no one.......ah jeez, you're making me repeat myself. I assume by now that you get the point I'm trying to make. If you can't accept what I said in the very beginning of this post, then to hell with you. Just understand it, you don't have to accept it if you don't want. If anything, I'm setting boundaries for myself, not for everyone. Besides, it's not like I can prevent people from interfering with our little debate here. If they feel like asking me a question and constantly trying to get my attention, then so be it. However, I notified(and made clear) that I will ignore anyone who I would suspect is interfering with me. By the way, you didn't answer the FIRST question in my previous post. Here, I'll put it up for you again: I ended that post by reminding you that there are 2 important questions I wanted you to answer. You ignored the first one, didn't you? |
