We are instructed to have the same mind as Jesus..
To think as He would think....
To behave as He would behave.
Amen-- but few do, and worship a man as a god instead of receiving the One Jesus received in Matt 3:16 themselves who gives us His same Spirit of mind top walk in it as He walks in it as He did Jesus. .
I wouldn't say this is the same as having the same fullness of God.
Are you a LDS believer?
Im a son of God His child just as Jesus was His cild and my brother if that is what you mean. We have the same Father who is God.
It's not that God is not able...
it's that we cannot have THE SAME mind as Jesus.
That would make us be Jesus.
The there was no use for God to send Jesus at all as example of runs to be like according to what you just said . If Jesus ever gave a command that is not possible to achieve in you then there is no use in trying to follow him in Gods perfection at all when Jesus commanded of you to be ye therefore perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect, See father be in you and you I n Him as one as Jesus was ion the Father and the Father was in him as one that Jesus prayed to for you to be.
Truth is Jesus has no power over you at all with that attitude rejecting the very reason that God sent him.
That is very obvious.
They were necessary in the early church to keep gnosticism out of the early church and to keep heresies out of the early church.
In the early church even to this day all who has received from God Himself the creeds of man in their laws to regulate their gods, is replaced with the same Spirit in us who was in Christ Jesus that is not of creedal laws at all and set free from mans beliefs for a god.
All a creed does is to proclaim, teach and confirm what a biblical belief is...to clarify it.
All that creeds do is teach you to obey their own laws that have established for a belief for a god that they can control to obey them in their beliefs. And beliefs for a god cane be anything so obvious in all these denominational creeds that man has established their laws to regulate their beefs for a god.
But I do agree you are of one of them, which one, The Catholics creed, Mormon Creed, Lutheran Creed, Church of Christ creed, AOGs creed, Baptists creed, Muslims creed for a god?
Sense you are of one of these creeds of man which one do you creed to?
If a person does not adhere to one of the creeds, he really cannot define himself as Christian.
Again which one of these creeds of man are you chained to?
We are told to renew our minds...this is correct.
But to you renewing your mind come by the laws of a creed, a belief for a god. Man has renewed your minf=-d to think in their terms for a god of flesh.
Romans 12:2
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Van be renewed at all with Gods same knowledge least He comes to you and open in you who He is and all of His heaven in your. Not even Jesus could escape that fact proven in Matt 3:16 when God opened his mind, renewed it from the creedal laws of the Jews that he was rabbi of. You just choose to stay in those creeds of man that God freed Jesus from and freed us all who has received in us the same God as Jesus did. Born again with that same renting of our mind.
Matthew 3:16
16 After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him.
Just as all do who God comes to reside in and just as with Jesus is as gentile as a dove.
Do you believe Jesus did NOT have the spirit of God before His baptism?
Absolutely he did not or it would have been useless for God to come and do it again, LOL
When Jesus returned to the Father He left instructions with His Apostles to go into all the world and teach.
Yes and not teach their own ideas for a god, but live it, be that living example for what it is to be of God just as Jesus said if you cannot believe what I say, believe that what I do, and we are to be no different from that same example at all. Show them dont spew a lot of words they will not understand show them by example as Jesus did.
Many heresies entered into the church.
Not Gods church, that is impossible. These creeds of man are not Gods church at all, Gods church are exactly as He is and in His same image, we walk as He walks in it just as Jesus was His church and walks in it.
This is why it was decided to put everything down in writing,,,,
The only reason it is in writing is for a tutorial for how to receive from God yourself. An instruction manual.
so that the teachings of Jesus could not be changed.
True and one cant teach what Jesus taught at all without the same God be in them who was in Jesus. Jesus didnt teach himself, God taught him and we are no different from the same knowledge from God Himself at all. Cant teach it without it!
They were, unfortunately, changed at the Reformation.
By man who cannot receive from God the very same as Jesus did from God instead, amen.
It teaches what was never before taught in the Christian church.
Still inst thought in the majority of these so called churches. Thet have their own creeds for a god they have developed on their own image.
But yes, God also has to speak to us individually...
No other way to know Him at all. One on one.
otherwise we practice Islam.
Or catholic or Mormon, or Jews, or Jehovah Witness, or Church of Christ, or Baptists or Muslims, or one of the some 35,000 different known belief systems called denominations.
Unfortunately Gary Mac....man needs a book.
Yes an instruction manual for how to, sadly most of these dont know how to follow instructions in it for a finished product to be put together in results for perfection to be perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect, and that is totally out of the question for most, and will tell you that is impossible to be perfect as God is perfect. These read the instructions but do not follow them and at the end wind up with a few spare parts that dont fit and dont know what to do with them.
Ys and not from man Burt from God Himself. Just as Jesus received instruction from Giod, Adam received instruction from God, Gen 3:22 he was the very first to follow this instruction from God Himself, Abraham Moses Mary Jesus 120 all eventually followed the instructions for that finished product that is perfect.
What is so ironic is, the only thing on this planet that is perfect and never changes, is the same yesterday as it is today and will be the very same tomorrow. And that is Love it never changes and man is the temple of it for God is love.
SO simply yet so difficult for those who are of the creeds of man for a belief for a god instead of being of Him, Love.
This is due to the sin nature of man....
Ye rebellion to receive the mind of God that is Holy Love.
This is a complicated topic.
Only because man refuses to obey and receive the Love in themselves that God is. In that the law is fulfilled, if Love truly is your disposition, Loving you neighbor isnt a thing we try and do, it is who we actually are and do. The law fulfilled in us.
I don't understand what is impossible...
Me either. In God all things are possible, except that it is impossible to be in sin if you are born of God and perfect even as your father in heaven is perfect. in that is it impossible to be in sin, cannot sin because we are born of God Himself. 1 John 3:9.
