"The disciples Knew that Jesus was God, Diversified in flesh"
the REAL church father knew that Jesus was God in Flesh.
Once again let's see a disciple who knew what he believed. many today say they believe, but do they?
"The disciple Ananias"
who did he believe Jesus was?
Acts 9:10 "And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Acts 9:11 "And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Acts 9:12 "And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Acts 9:13 "Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Acts 9:14 "And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Acts 9:15 "But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: f
or he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Acts 9:16 "For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Acts 9:17 "And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
here, Ananias Identifies JESUS as Lord. and now the apostle Paul, then Saul recaps what Ananias did and "
said". listen, Acts 22:12 "And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
Acts 22:13 "Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
Acts 22:14 "And he said,
The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth".
from reading this verse and and verse 15 of chapter 9 one may assume that it was the one whom many calls the "Father" chose saul for his son Jesus, right. just read the text. Acts 22:14 "And he said,
The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will,
and see that Just One, and shouldest hear
the voice of his mouth".
here we have, A. the "God" of our fathers, the God of the OT has chosen Saul, right. B. "see that Just One", and C. "hear his voice". B and C seems to be a diffrent "PERSON" from A, would you agree? well let's see. remember A, the God of our father choose Saul right. ok let's see who chose Saul.
there is a third account of this same event found in Acts chapter 26 by now Paul, an apostle, before king Agrippa. let's see who Paul say chose him.
Acts 26:12 "Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
Acts 26:13 "At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
Acts 26:14 "And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Acts 26:15 "And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Acts 26:16 "But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to
make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee".
here is the revelation. the keyword here is "
MAKE", in verse 16 it's the Greek word,
G4400 προχειρίζομαι procheirizomai (pro-chei-riy'-zo-mai) v.
1. to handle for oneself in advance.
2. (figuratively) to purpose.
[middle voice from G4253 and a derivative of G5495]
KJV:
choose, make
and this word is only found in one other place, yes, you guessed it, Acts 22:14 "And he said, The God of our fathers hath
chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth".
now the ending of the revelation. the God of our fathers is the Just one in the same verse. the God of our fathers is the just one Jesus the Christ who chose Salu, now Paul. it's the SAME ONE PERSON. but reading the verses before without this revelation, one would ASSUME it wwas two separate persons. but no it the same one person.
for the apostle said in Acts 26:15, and 16 that it was "JESUS" the God of our father who
chose him, meaning the God of the OT..
but wait, is not the God of the OT Spirit, without a body. yes, it was his coming in flesh that he is now made know, or manifested as the Son unto men. supportive scripture, Romans 5:14b "who is the figure of him that was to come". John 1:14 the Word made flesh, how plain can it get?
JESUS is the Spirit, the Spirit that is Holy in the OT, the Holy Spirit without flesh, without bone, and without blood. and he came to save us, by coming in a body of Flesh and bone with blood. he did this by "diversifying" himself in that flesh body, better know as "differentiation" of Spirit, "SHARED" in that body of flesh. this "sharing" of oneself or being an offspring in flesh is know as "ANOTHER" of oneself in a diffrent "form"... per Phil 2:6-8.
so the disciples knew, the apostles knew, and the true church fathers knew. why not us? because we have been decieved.
