The Undiscovered Christ

[bbyrd009]

How do you Know Jesus apart from the truth about him? Do JWs follow the same Christ as you?

imo here we would generally reflect upon the Unknown God, or knowing of God rather than knowing Him, really for the same reason i think, that as soon as one says they know something then by def they are no longer looking for a better understanding. As soon as you believe you have the truth in a matter no greater truth will be sought. also bc he who says he knows anything is saying that he knows for a reason, and not bc he knows i guess. All the gods i know have fallen, personally

so, how do we know Gospel, or Word, without knowing the Truth about them? We start with an approximation and come closer step by step i guess. Word, Gospel, Christ, Truth, these are all the same thing right. So obviously when you say you know the truth you are deceived imo

If you cannot define Christ using scripture, you have nothing to compare other definitions of Christ too.

pretty sure we have all of the definitions on this page, Dave. Christ is Word, right. Would you say that you know Word?

But this is only one of many attributes. How is Jesus God and Man at the same time? Where does the man part begin? If someone were to ask, how would you answer?

ya, my gift really seems to be questions i guess, answers i am just flopping around really, but the Body of Christ is not hard to define at all imo

How can you define Christ's body if you cannot define Christ according to scripture?

Try telling a JW that. Have you ever been up against one? They know more about who Christ is not, than most about who Christ is.

It actually says: He is the word. In the beginning of the book of John.
And this is also shown by: Moses and the prophets spoke of ME.
The word made flesh for us.

 

[Episkopos]

And that word is YHVH. The hidden word revealed.

at least maybe we're done with this "returning" thing for a minute lol

Yes, but there is much more about Christ in the bible.

I would share this 2 minute video which the Gospel threaded throughout the genealogies from Adam to Noah..it actually will start with God, of course: Which simply means "The God" in Hebrew, then we go onto Adam which means "man" in Hebrew and continues in order of their birth. I do not think ANY man could have hidden this within the genealogies:

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the privilege of kings to discover it.
