I guess this is the right time to add more gems from scripture..
Jesus is not God Almighty, and both God and Jesus completed the plan of salvation as the only way to heaven. One was the author and the source of spiritual power and the other the human instrument. Jesus’ mission success was due to him having his Father’s spirit within him and even the max of his spirit necessary at his baptism. It ensured Jesus’ success as a sinless born 100 % human being. This is all scriptural.
Answering another misunderstood verse:
All human beings, (understood and in context: of a sinful nature) have fallen short; they all have sinned. Jesus was born with a sinless nature from his Father.
Jesus was NEVER just ‘a man.’ Again, for the millionth time (hyperbole, yes) Jesus was born of a sinless nature AND had the Father’s spirit within him as we as believers have Jesus’ spirit within us. We could not today be in Christ if Jesus was not born with his Father’s spirit and he would not be in his Father’s spirit today! Post it on your frig or something to let these words sink in to some that keep bashing in the same wall in ignorance.
God could not perform the act of sacrifice on the cross with shed blood, as a physical human being. The sacrifice had to be a 100% human being as the last or 2nd Adam. His Father and himself, Jesus Christ were one, in one purpose, all the way to the cross and beyond. They were bonded as a spiritual team. We today are learning to become a team of God through/with the spirit of Christ..all scriptural and very logical.
