God in Christ and through the power of His Spirit raised Christ from the dead. To argue about this is futile. I find it hard to express this, for it is so very 'other.' Forgive me if my feeble attempt to do so does not comply with your own understanding of it.
no problems, the bible gives us direct information on this. follow me, the term God is an Appellation of the Spirit. follow me, scripture, John 4:24a God is a Spirit. STOP... see the TERM God is nothing but an Appellation for the Spirit.
now knowing this let's go to Phil 2:6 Who, being in the
form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.
note no one can be "equal" with God, supportive scriptures,
#1. Isa 40:25 To whom then will ye liken me,
or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
this right here eliminates any personhood of any Godhead with separate persons. God is not separate in Persons or Nature, meaning Spirit.
#2. Isa 46:5 To whom will ye liken me,
and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
This verse right here again reprove any notion of any co-eqyal persons. read both scriptures again. there is no co-equal in God. this is the bible, and it don't lie.
now, follow me and we will see how God is Father and Son at the SAME time withou any modes.
scripture, once again,
Phil 2:6 Who, being in the
form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
this word "Form" here is the Greek word
G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') n.
1. form.
2. (intrinsically) fundamental nature.
KJV: form
Root(s): G3313
definition #2, gives us the Lord JESUS Nature. but the million dollar question is "what
kind of Nature".
looking at the definition above, notice it says, it's root word is G3313, this definiton will give us the "KIND" of nature that the Lord Jesus have with God.
G3313 μέρος meros (me'-ros) n.
1. a portion (i.e. an amount allotted, a part of something).
2. a part.
knowing that God is not a "piece" or a "Part" of God for if so Phil 2:6 would read like this, "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal (
TO) and not equal "
WITH" God". because no one is EQUAL "TO" God, but JESUS is equal "WITH" God.
and G3313 μέρος meros tells us how he is EQUAL "with" God, the Spirit. look at definition #1. 1. a portion is a "SHARE" not a part, nor a piece, as like with H259 Echad, meaning a whole of parts.
see, if God is a separate person then he's a "Part" or "piece" of himself, as the scriptures states equal is NOT a "Part" or "piece" of himself, see, a part or a piece is not equal to the whole, so the theory of co-equal is false, that modalism in reverse.
but we get our answer from the Greeks as to how JESUS is equal "
WITH" at the same time being God. the answer is laid out in the Greek word, G243 Allos, in our English Language it means
Another. listen to the definition.
G243 allos, "Allos expresses
a numerical difference and denotes another of
the same sort"
my source is the Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words.
two things to note: 1.
a numerical difference and 2. the same
sort.
First, a numerical difference. meaning, more than one. another word for
a numerical difference is
diversity of another. hold that word "Diversity"
the definition of Allos also state that's this numerical difference is the SAME "
Sort". so what do sort means. according to Dictionary dot com, Sort: 1. a particular kind, species, variety, class, or group, distinguished by a common character or nature. 2. character, quality, or nature.
see the Lord Jesus by "nature is in the "SAME" class, same group, same kind... with the same character, and quality. to sum it all us he's the "EQUAL" SHARE of God in Flesh.
follow me so far? now, remember I told you to keep the word "Diversity" in mind. for it is the nature of God in flesh better known as the OFFSPRING, supportive scripture,
Rev 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.
see that word "Offspring" there, it's 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
see how the KJV can translate the word offspring... yes "
diversity" that's where I get the doctrine I believe in, right from the bible.
see, the Lord Jesus is the "ANOTHER" of himself in flesh. without flesh in the OT he's the Father, just as the Angel said in Rev 22:5.
now what about the Holy Spirit, no problem, scripture,
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;(LOOK UP ANOTHER HERE IT"S G243 ALLOS, bingo)
John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
see, JESUS is the Spirit, God, the Holy Spirit. Father without flesh, son in flesh.
now a bouns,, why is he called "Son" in flesh? answer, G5207, huios, Son is metaphorically spoken of prominent moral character or characteristics. that's why we're the son's of God, because we act like him, or at least suppose to.
you might want to copy this to your word processor for study, if any question, just ask.
