Jesus is also human. 100% Man and 100% God in the hypostatic union.
FAITH IN JESUS ONLY . Now who would argue with that .
But lets examine our faith . IS our faith truly IN JESUS , the biblical one .
IF it is , we trust , we heed and WE DO HIS sayings . IF not our faith is all in vain . WE never loved HIM .
And beleive me , i know VAIN FAITH , DEAD faith , for i lived it for many years .
TILL one day the true grace of GOD came and drew me to the TRUE BIBLCAL JESUS and my whole life changed .
If any man be a hearer only , but not a DOER , his religoin is vain , his faith is dead .
AND as i said , I OUGHTTA KNOW , That was what i once was .
No, distinct.
The Holy Spirit is the Father, after He descended to become a Man and then released His Spirit back to Himself.
No, distinct.
The Holy Spirit is the Father; and yet He is also distinct from the 1st Person of the Trinity.
That is what I have been saying all along.He was not denying that He was God...for there was a Spirit dwelling in Jesus Christ....see John 14:7-11.
The son of God was not God, but the son of God(and Mary).What the text implies is that Satan knew that this person was the "Son of God" -
The idea that Satan would knowingly ask God to Bow down to him .. goes against everything we know about Satan from the OT.
Who sent Jesus to Satan for Testing ? God did .. as discussed previously.
The job of "The Advocate" The Tester of of Job and Genesis .. is to test man - (and in this case the Son of Man)
The "Advocate" was given this job by God .. and the Tester does not act outside the will of his Boss -
The idea that the Advocate would ask the almighty - "the most high" the one who created him - to bow before him - is simply not credible.
What you are doing is making things up about what Satan thinks .. in an attempt to make your narrative fit into scripture rather than going with scripture
Was the Spirit incarnated or fertilizing the woman's egg?No, the Spirit is not the Son; except after He is incarnated in flesh.
Just be cause someone has the Holy Ghost inside them does not qualify them as God.
The son of God was not God, but the son of God(and Mary).
However, the Father of the son was inside the son so this was the vessel that interacted with Satan.
If any part of the son was God, then Satan caught God at a moment of weakness, since God was fasting and hungered.
The logos made Jesus and was in Jesus.Exactly - although there is difference between the interaction of the HS with Jesus ... and with man.
Jesus was "The Logos" - emissary between man and God ... sent to earth to deliver God's word - Gods Message to humanity - "the Good News". Jesus spoke God's word through the Holy Spirit that dwelt within Jesus all the while he was occupying the fleshy vessel - which folks like to make so much of.
While Jesus spoke God's Word via the HS .. Human's are not able to do this -sans a brief intervention directly from "the Father" which we are told happened with the Apostles.
Average Joe is not able to do this - and attempting to do this is heresy - usurping the position of Jesus - the "unforgivable Sin" - blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
@Christophany God in Three Persons is Biblical...@heyzues still clueless I see as not one Trinitarian believes the Father is the Son that is the oneness heresy and those who deny the Deity of the Son are unitarian heretics/false teachers.
You know, I taught the Father is the son for over 30 years.Bottom line - The author of Mark - and the audience Mark was writing to - did not think that Jesus was "God -The Father".
Had folks at the time of Mark thought the text was saying this - they would have burned it - as this idea was contrary to what people of that time believed .. and it remained this way for another 150 years. Only around 200 AD - was this idea even mentioned within serious Christian circles.
And it took another 125 years after that .. before this whole "Father is the Son" idea took hold - and was made doctrine by edict from a Pagan Emperor.
Even then - it took many more decades for the Holy Ghost to join the party - and anther 500 years of persecuting Christians who held beliefs contrary to this new man made - made up doctrine - to become the Gold Standard.
Indeed the True God who is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.@Christophany God in Three Persons is Biblical...
The logos made Jesus and was in Jesus.
It is really that simple.
The logos did not "become" Jesus, then spoke through Himself(as most surmise).
I was oneness.@heyzues still clueless I see as not one Trinitarian believes the Father is the Son that is the oneness heresy and those who deny the Deity of the Son are unitarian heretics/false teachers.
Most say the logos became flesh.1) its not simple at all
2) who said the Logos became Jesus ?
Not sure what you are getting at here .. Jesus was "The Logos" on this we agree.
Jesus spoke God's word through the Holy Spirit.
Spirit is flesh?duh John 1:1 and John 1:14
the Word was God- ie is God
the Word (who is God) became flesh- a man is the Incarnation. Jesus of God manifest in the flesh as Scripture declares. All the fulness of Deity(God) dwells in bodily form( a man with a human body) once again declaring the Incarnation.
