what Christians are missing is obedience to the Faith, meaning, the word of God. the Lord Jesus said, "MY SHEEP" hear my voice. ok, let's hear his voice.
Matthew 19:4 "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female". the "he" that the Lord Jesus was referencing to was the term "God". let's make sure, no assumptions.
Mark 10:6 "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female".
the gospel of Matthews and Mark confirm that God is a "he" and not a them. which eliminates, and destroys any notions of God being any uni-plural "person or God.
another confirmation of this in Genesis 1:26 & 27 it's self. Genesis 1:26 "And God/'elohiym 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.
Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
the IMAGE of God is "another" of himself, just like Eve is "another" of Adam himself. they are one "MAN". God said let "us" make man in our IMAGE". STOP, what is the Image of God? another of himself mnifested in flesh that was to come. supportive scripture, John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth". the Word was made flesh? ok, who is the WORD? answer John 1:1c "and the Word was God". the same God in Genesis 1:26 & 27 is made manifested in flesh. ok, good so far, but how did God, who in the beginning, is made flesh but yet was sent, or better yet came? answer, Philippians 2:6 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God":
the word "Form" here is nature, but Jesus has an "EQUAL" NATURE ... "WITH" God who is Spirit, notice the term "WITH", just as in John 1:2. but how do Jesus have a "EQUAL" Nature WITH GOD who is Spirit? answer, it's in the term "Form", it's root, here in Philippians 2:6. Form here is
G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') n.
1. form.
2. (intrinsically) fundamental nature.
[perhaps from the base of G3313 (through the idea of adjustment of parts)]
KJV: form
Root(s): G3313
the ROOT word of G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') is,
G3313 μέρος meros (me'-ros) n.
1. a portion (i.e. an amount allotted, a part of something).
what's another word for, or a word that is synonyms with "portion?" is, "share". the Lord Jesus is the equal "SHARE" of God the Spirit, or better stated, the Lord Jesus is the IMAGE of God himself in flesh. just as Eve is the another of Adam. the Lord Jesus is "another" of God ........ in flesh.
the Lord Jesus is the "another" of God that is the IMAGE or the "US" and the "OUR" in Genesis 1:26 & 27 that was to come. God
calleth those things which be not as though they were. what a mighty God we serve. calling the end from the beginning. supportive scripture, Isaiah 46:10 "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
that conusel that stood was the "US" and the "OUR"that is to come, God own IMAGE in flesh, the Messiah to come. this is the conusel of God in Christ Jesus. did not Isaiah say he's the Counsellor, the "Mighty God", ....... him.
and the NT confirm this doctrine of "Diversified Oneness" in the term "ANOTHER" G243 allos, the numerical difference of the SAME SORT, not a separate another, but the same another in flesh. him, he, I, like in "I AM".
