And here is one for you apek.
"Christ" is not Jesus's Last Name.
Its a specific Title, related to who He is before the foundation of the world.
Jesus told you..."YOU are from below, I AM from Above".
Simpleton speech. That is a laughable statement you made that Christ is not the Son's last name. Thank you I never knew that ....of course I did. I need to make my point even sharper then.
So let's say for your sake then that God was in Yahshua the Christ of 2 Cor 5:19. Does that change a thing. Of course not, because God was not in God the Son. That is a pagan concept.
I see you do not know scripture that well. You should before you go off preaching about the deity and or divinity of Yahshua, the Christ.
Let me entertain one scripture verse you inferred you know about concerning the so-called deity of Christ.
How about John 1:10 of your post #60. I need to provide a short commentary as John uses a poetic and symbolic style of writing in his prologue here. And it does tie into 2 Cor 5:19
Now
Verse 10 says that God Almighty, the Father or the
He, was in the world, and he made the world not his Son, Jesus Christ. The Son had not been introduced yet by John.
The ‘He’ in this verse 10 is a reference to the Father, not his Son. The context from verse 6 says, “There came a man who was sent by God.” Now as ‘God is light,’ and it was
revealed through his Son and thus caused him to be this
same light. ‘the light of the world.’
God was always in the world and then through His Son, and yet the world did not recognize him. He came unto his own by sending his exact image, Yahshua the Christ. And they did not receive God, in that they rejected His emissary or proxy, his Son. The fact that the world did not receive Him is made more profound in the context as Scripture reveals how earnestly God reached out to them—He made expression, voice, his plan and purpose known through the flesh that shined His light through his Son so as to reach out to the world, and they still did not receive Him, even though He was offering eternal life as being the children of God’ as noted in verse 12.
Besides being called the
true light of his Father in verses 7-9 Yahshua is not implicitly introduced until verse 14, when the Father's (W)word and Spirit in power,
came into him, he became the word of God, his Father. And that also says the same or similar thing in 2 Cor 5:19.
(2Co 5:19) That is, that
God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses to them; and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Do you now see the LIGHT, of the Father?!
I hope that helps you understand verse John 1:10 better and more clearly. Nothing about the Son's deity I'm afraid.
(Joh 1:6) It happened that a man of God was sent. His name was John.
(Joh 1:7) This one came as a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe in the light.
(Joh 1:8) John was not the light, but was sent that he might testify concerning the light-
(Joh 1:9) the true light, who by coming into the world enlightens every man.
(Joh 1:10) He was in the world, and though the world had originated on account of him, the world recognised him not.
(Joh 1:11) He came to his own people, and they of his own people rejected him.
(Joh 1:12) But whoever accepts him, those who believe in his name, to them he gave the right to become children of God.
(Joh 1:13) These were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
(Joh 1:14)
For this, the word became flesh, and indwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth. (NEV)
