100 Facts about Jesus Christ

[Wrangler]

A plagiarist is one who claims they authored a work... I never claimed I authored this.

Look up the word tacit.

Your failure to credit the author is what makes you a plagiarist, not your failure to claim it as your own.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

Your failure to credit the author is what makes you a plagiarist, not your failure to claim it as your own.

It was no failure because I have no idea who the author was or where it came from.
I had it in a folder on my computer for years.

Some of the points were interesting and I thought some might enjoy the list.
Feel free to refrain from reading the list as to not get yourself all upset. worried and other wise bent out of shape

Look up the word tacit.

Er... no!

 

[Wrangler]

It was no failure because I have no idea who the author was or where it came from.

It was a failure on your part because knowing who the author is is not a requirement for plagiarism. You knew the work was not your own.

I once told a joke where one listener did not hear me credit the red necks. He felt obligated to say it was not my original joke for he knew the original comedian who said it. Fortunately, another listener defended me in me not claiming it was mine but the redneck.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

You knew the work was not your own.

Which is exactly WHY I did not put down at the bottom...

"Authored by yours truly, Big Boy Johnson"

I once told a joke where one listener did not hear me credit the red necks. He felt obligated to say it was not my original joke for he knew the original comedian who said it. Fortunately, another listener defended me in me not claiming it was mine but the redneck.

So YOU did the same thing you are accusing me of!

All the exercise some people get is running down their neighbors and jumpin to conclusions!.... and otherwise making a mountain out of a molehill

 

[Wrangler]

So YOU did the same thing you are accusing me of!

Obviously, reading comprehension is not your strength.

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

Obviously, reading comprehension is not your strength.

Obviously... the hypocrisy is getting deep up in here!

I do not agree with the scriptures that you listed to supporting that Jesus Christ and God.
Consider these scripture in the book of Matthew-only. Scriptures of this nature are not inclusive. All of these scriptures are contrary to what you are purporting.
“This is my Son…”-3:17
“…son of God…“ (4:3); “…Jehovah’s mouth…” (4:4); “…son of God…” (4:6); “Jehovah your God…” (4:7); “…Jehovah your God you must worship…”-4:10
“…your Father who is in the heavens.“ (5:16, 45) “…heavenly Father…”-5:48
…Father who is in the heavens” (6:1); “..pay to your father…” (6:6); “…God your father…” (6:8); “Our father in the heavens…” (6:9); “…heavenly Father…”-6:14, 26, 32
“…your Father who is in the heavens…“-7:11, 21
“…Son of God…“-8:29
“…my Father who is in the heavens…“ (10:32, 33); “…sent me forth.”-10:40
“…Father…“-11:25-27
“…my Father who is in the heaven…“-12:50
“You are really God’s son.“-14:33
“…my heavenly father…“-15:13
“…son of the living God…” (16:16); “…my Father who is in the heavens…“ (16:17); “…come in the glory of his Father…“-16:27
“This is my Son…“-17:5

“…your Father, the heavenly one…“ (23:9); “…your Leader…” (23:10); “…he that comes in Jehovah’s name!”-23:39
“…neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.”-24:36
“…blessed by my Father…“-25:34
“…in the kingdom of my Father.“ (26:29); “My Father…” (26:39, 42, 53); “By the living God…Christ the Son of God!” (26:63); “You yourself said it…”-26:64
“Certainly this was God’s Son.“-27:54
“All authority has been given me…“-28:18
Again, this is only a sampling of scriptures-taken from one book-that clearly differentiates Jesus from God Almighty.

Which of Big Boy's 100 propositions do these passages gainsay? I didn't see a single one of those 100 that said Jesus Christ is God.

Which of Big Boy's 100 propositions do these passages gainsay? I didn't see a single one of those 100 that said Jesus Christ is God.

At a start, read points 1-5. Then read his scriptural references that Big Boy Johnson is quoting from.

 

[RedFan]

At a start, read points 1-5. Then read his scriptural references that Big Boy Johnson is quoting from.

Done. But my question stands.

 

[Mark51]

Done. But my question stands.

Bid Boy Johnson’s first point: Jesus claimed to be God.-John 8:24. Read before and after this verse-specifically-John 8:19, 27.

Jesus claimed to be God.-John 8:58. Compare this to Colossians 1:15

Jesus claimed to be God.-John 8:30. The oneness to which Jesus referred must be understood in harmony with the context of his statement. He was speaking of his works and his care of the “sheep” that would follow him. (John 10:25, 26, 37, 38; compare John 4:34; 5:30; 6:38-40; 8:16-18.) As regards his “sheep,” he and his Father were likewise at unity in their protecting such sheep like ones and leading them to everlasting life. (John 10:27-29; compare Ezekiel 34:23, 24.) Jesus’ prayer on behalf of the unity of all his disciples, including future ones, shows that the oneness, or union, between Jesus and his Father was not as to identity of person but as to purpose and action. In this way Jesus’ disciples could “all be one,” just as he and his Father are one. (John 17:20-23) Compare Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5, 6; John 17:15-26.

Jesus and his Father, are also “one” in the sense that they are in complete agreement as to intentions, standards, and values. In contrast with Satan the Devil and the first human couple, Adam and Eve, Jesus never wanted to become independent of God. “The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing,” Jesus explained. “For whatever things that One does, these things the Son also does in like manner.”-John 5:19; 14:10; 17:8.

This strong bond of unity, however, does not make God and his Son, Jesus, indistinguishable from each other. They are two individuals. Each one has his own distinct personality. Jesus has his own feelings, thoughts, experiences, and free will. Nevertheless, he chose to submit his will to that of his Father. According to Luke 22:42, Jesus said: “Let, not my will, but yours take place.” These words would have been meaningless if his will could not differ from his Father’s. If Jesus and his Father were really one person, why did Jesus pray to God and humbly admit to not knowing things that only his Father knew?-Matthew 24:36.

I'm not disagreeing with your analysis of the passages you cite. I just didn't see -- and still don't see -- Big Boy claiming that Jesus was God. Not in (1) "Jesus claimed to be God," not in (2) "Jesus created all things" . . . not in (100) "Jesus came to proclaim freedom for believers," not anywhere.

To be clear, I disagree with some of Big Boy's 100 propositions, and disagree that the Scriptures he cites is strong support for many of his propositions (even some of the ones I happen to agree with, for different reasons). But until Big Boy comes out with (101) "Jesus is God," your insightful canvassing of Scriptures that tend to belie that proposition miss the mark. Let him actually hang the mark before you shoot at it!

 

[Big Boy Johnson]

I do not agree with the scriptures that you listed to supporting that Jesus Christ and God.

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

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.

1 John 4:2,3
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Which of Big Boy's 100 propositions do these passages gainsay? I didn't see a single one of those 100 that said Jesus Christ is God.

But... God the Father called Jesus God at His coronation as High Priest!

Hebrews 1:8 (see Psalm 45:6)
But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

 

[RedFan]

Ah. Proposition 101 has arrived. Mark51, I may owe you an apology.
