When I say 'God', I'm referring to God the Father, not the son. If God can't dwell among the flesh, then that doesn't explain the events that occurred before the fall.
well Dcopymope, is not the LORD all caps the saviour?, scripture, Isaiah 43:11 "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour". me is a single person, and LORD is all caps indicating the one whom you call Father.

now for your second question,
Well it wasn't Jesus sitting on the throne in Revelation, so there is no reason to believe it was anybody else but God the Father in Ezekiel.
Revelation 5:13 "And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever". so the one sitting on the throne receive power, let's back this up, Revelation 4:11 "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created". now my question, if the one sitting on the throne receive POWER and you say it's the Father, I want to know who have more power than the Father in to give him POWER". from my understanding the Father have all POWER. so please give book chapter and verse as to who have more power that the one whom you calls the Father who suppose to be sitting on the throne. .

Perhaps if I make it would have helped if I made the key point bold.

So, the answer is Yes, God can dwell among the flesh - but only among those who are in Christ and thereby reconciled to God.

If you are going to base your entire theological viewpoint on the flesh based on one or two verses in this way, then it has to be consistent, both from old to new testament. There was no Jesus in the old testament and you can't have one without the other. This isn't just about Jesus, this is about how the flesh relates to God in general. Can you cite a case where God ever appeared to Moses in all of his glory? How come he always had to reveal himself to Moses under different guises, a burning bush, a burning mountain, etc? Obviously, when it says Noah and Enoch "walked with God", it didn't mean that he literally appeared in full glory. If he appeared at all, it was likely in a more human form, such as the case was with God's appearance before Abraham. My theological viewpoint on the flesh starts from the very beginning before the fall, not just with a few verses in the new testament.

(Genesis 18:1-8) "And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; {2} And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, {3} And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: {4} Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: {5} And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. {6} And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. {7} And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. {8} And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat."

well Dcopymope, is not the LORD all caps the saviour?, scripture, Isaiah 43:11 "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour". me is a single person, and LORD is all caps indicating the one whom you call Father.

now for your second question,

Revelation 5:13 "And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever". so the one sitting on the throne receive power, let's back this up, Revelation 4:11 "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created". now my question, if the one sitting on the throne receive POWER and you say it's the Father, I want to know who have more power than the Father in to give him POWER". from my understanding the Father have all POWER. so please give book chapter and verse as to who have more power that the one whom you calls the Father who suppose to be sitting on the throne. .

You forget the verses before stating on no uncertain terms that the one sitting on the throne is clearly NOT Jesus.

(Revelation 5:1-9) "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. {2} And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? {3} And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. {4} And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. {5} And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. {6} And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. {7} And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. {8} And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. {9} And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;"

Again, if you base your entire theological viewpoint based on only a few verses, and capitalized letters, you are bound to be in error.

Not meaning to answer for Scott, but an "appearance" is not the same as a "manifestation".
two walking with God is not physical, but way of life, or living. and third the Lord Jesus was in the OLD TESTAMENT, but without flesh and without bone , and without blood, scripture, 1 Peter 1:10 "Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow".
understand, the Christ, Spirit was in the prophet in the Old testament, he is the WORD, and the word came unto the prophets of old. just read those prophets. since you like Ezekiel let's use him, 1:1-4 "Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 2 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, 3 The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him". the "WORD" of the LORD is God. scripture, John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

I take this as you cannot answer? it's plain as English. but I'll let you answer it. was it the Father as you say is speaking in Isaiah 43:11 or the son. which one...... (smile), I'll be waiting for your answer.

(John 10:30) "I and my Father are one."

Whenever the Father speaks, it is the Father speaking through Jesus as "the word". This is why Jesus referred to himself as the one who spoke to Moses in the from of a burning bush. Again, I don't get too hung up on capitalized letters. That in of itself will not give you a full understanding. Now, are you going to be a man and admit you were wrong about who really sits on the throne?

so then it's Jesus speaking in the O.T. and the NEW Testament. scripture, Matthew 3:17 "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased". now please tell us who is speaking here.

Hmmmmm let's check the record,
Ephesians 4:4 "There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling”
John 4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”.

“a” Spirit, “a” Spirit. Is ONE Spirit.
that capitalization means a lot.

I don't if you don't.

this is my point, was the word, (Jesus) flesh in the OLD TESTAMENT. if not then you have two Spirits.

According to the totality of scripture, you have three, not one or two, separate yet acting as one, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, clearly present from the very beginning.

(Genesis 1:26-28) "¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. {27} So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. {28} And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

The only case that anyone can cite as the appearance of a pre-incarnate Jesus with absolute certainty is in the book of Daniel, where the forth man in the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed–nego was "like the Son of God".

(Daniel 3:24-25) "Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. {25} He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."

that a ERROR, and you used Genesis 1:26-28 the US lie. the us is the lord to come in flesh. scripture, Romans 5:14 "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come". see that word "figure" it means "FASHION", Scripture, Philippians 2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross". see that's God coming in flesh as a MAN. this is the diversity of God, shared in flesh. LOL, how easy. see if you just read the bible. so that 3 person is an ERROR on your part. understand the Holy Spirit, (the Spirit) whom you're ignorant of, holds the titles "FATHER" without flesh in the O.T. and the same Spirit shared in flesh holds the title "Son"... how easy when one understands "Diversity" and if you're wondering where I get "diversity" it is the word "OFFSPRING", Revelation 22:16 "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star". offspring is the Greek word,
G1085 γένος genos (ǰe'-nos) n.
kin.
{abstract or concrete, literal or figurative, individual or collective}
[from G1096]
KJV: born, country(-man), diversity, generation, kind(-red), nation, offspring, stock
Root(s): G1096

well there it is "diversity" that's how God came into this world, by flesh and bone, or being a "diversity" of himself. how simple. see, the Lord Jesus is God in flesh :p, scripture, 1 Timothy 3:16 "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory". see no controversy, yes GOD the one whom you call father, because you said, "Whenever the Father speaks, it is the Father speaking through Jesus as "the word". This is why Jesus referred to himself as the one who spoke to Moses in the from of a burning bush. Again, I don't get too hung up on capitalized letters". LOL, LOL. my, my, my, it's the same person, only diversified. man oh man, how plain can it gets.

GINOLJC, since no one want to answer the Revelation 1:1 question, I will. who sent his angel to john. the angel who was sent told us, listen, Revelation 22:6 "And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done". the holy prophets are O.T as well as N.T, but when he said holy prophets ones mind went to O.T. and that's right too. but the bible, God word gives us the answer. Revelation 22:16 "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star". so the Lord Jesus is the God of the O.T. and N.T and if that's true, which it is. then if one say that the Father and the son are not the same person, then one have two Gods in the O.T. and that's polytheism, Idol worship which will get one into hell quick unless one change their mind, like in renew it. so our doctrine as to what we believe is very important.

that a ERROR, and you used Genesis 1:26-28 the US lie. the us is the lord to come in flesh.

Explain the following scripture if "after our likeness" isn't referring to more than one person of the God head. How does your rant about "diversity" match the two "LORDs" (upper case) below?

(Genesis 19:23-25) "¶ The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. {24} Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; {25} And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground."

So we have two upper case "LORDS". One of many reasons why I don't base my theological viewpoint on semantics, and whether or not certain words are capitalized. Explain how your "LORD" versus "Lord" belief works in this verse. I'll be waiting.........and once again.........Who sits on the throne?

did you not hear?, or read what I posted, if not let me say it again. our is Spirit + the flesh to come, for man (FLESH) is the image, the fashion, the figure to come. scripture, Romans 5:14 "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come". who is a PERSON. and that "Person" is God diversified in flesh. scripture, Philippians 2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross". how clear can one get.

(Genesis 19:23-25) "¶ The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. {24} Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven.
TWO LORDS? I can't believe you posted that, weak, weak, it's the same PERSON, listen, Isaiah 45:21 "Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me". is this two Gods?.... :D. my, my, my. Oh well.

The sun rose on the 26th, and then DCOPYMOPE rained down 100 words per minute upon this HP keyboard from the DCOPYMOPE in heaven.

I am in essence referring to two different people. Its saying that God the Father spoke fire and brimstone upon Sodom through his son in heaven, being "the word". I'm sure we all know there is only one God, its basic doctrine, no need to repeat yourself on the matter. Your "Lord" versus "LORD" belief doesn't hold up to scrutiny......and....Who sits on the throne?

Lol, 1. Your "Lord" versus "LORD" belief doesn't hold up to scrutiny". it do. and 2. "Who sits on the throne?" the Lord Jesus, as well as standing. by not knowing "diversity" you will never understand the "LORD" who is the "Lord" in flesh. good day.

:rolleyes: The "LORD" who is the "Lord" in the flesh.....yet clearly SEPARATE.

The throne of God AND of the Lamb:
(Revelation 22:1-6) "And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. {2} In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. {3} And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: {4} And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. {5} And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. {6} And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done."

Its very explicit in its meaning, that there are two different thrones for two different people. It is the prophecy of the Lamb who will sit on the right hand of God the Father, who sits on THE throne.

(Luke 22:66-71) "¶ And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, {67} Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: {68} And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. {69} Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God. {70} Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. {71} And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth."

(Matthew 26:64) "Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."

Now I see you aren't man enough to admit when you are wrong, so yep, you have a nice life.

There are also some parables mention in the Bible, such as
The parable of the tares (Mat 13:24-30)
The parable of the tares explained (Mat 13:36-43)
The parable of the gost and sheep (Mat 25:32)
It can be seen that the Lord Jesus will be classified according to kind.

And also this verse “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,” (Hebrews 10:26) It can be seen that if people don’t follow the Lord’s word and deliberately sin and resist God, they will still be condemned by the Lord or even would lose the salvation.

About the question, I think we should know the standard of entering God’s kingdom.

Lord Jesus has forgiven our sins; that's a fact. But we still often sin and resist the Lord, and do deceitful things and shame His name. That's just the truth. The Lord Jesus said, "Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant stays not in the house for ever …" (John 8:34-35). The Lord Jesus said that Himself. God is holy, and so is His kingdom. For us who work hard but continue to sin, how can we be allowed to enter His kingdom? I've felt in my heart that that's impossible. All the Lord's believers think: "Since the Lord redeemed man through the crucifixion, we've been forgiven of all of our sins. And as we are no longer sinners, we are justified by our faith. So as long as we endure till the end, we'll be saved, and be raptured directly into the kingdom of heaven when He returns. Is this common viewpoint correct or not?

Is it really based on God's word? If this is against the truth, what will it result in?

As believers, we should always act according to the Lord's word and we should listen to His word even more. It's true that Lord Jesus has completed His work of redeeming humanity. But does that mean God's work of saving man is thereby finished? And so, can we be raptured into His kingdom by faith in Lord Jesus alone? No man can fathom the answer.

The Lord Jesus once said, "Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21).
"… you shall therefore be holy, for I am holy" (Leviticus 11:45).

The words of God state clearly that anyone who enters the kingdom of heaven must be cleansed of sin. They all do God's will, love God, obey and worship Him. For God is holy, and in the kingdom is God living with man. Unless sanctified, we aren't qualified to enter God's kingdom. Many people think we can enter the kingdom of heaven simply because our sins were forgiven. But this is a grave misunderstanding. This is purely man's imagination. The Lord Jesus has forgiven our sins. That's true. But He never said this forgiveness meant being purified, and allowed directly into the kingdom of heaven. No one can deny this fact.
