Dear Taken,
Jesus IS the Christ. To speak of Jesus is to speak of Christ. And to speak of Christ is to speak of Jesus.
Christ most certainly DID come forth from Mary's womb. Let heaven and earth rejoice!
Disagree.
Phil 2
[
7] But
made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
form of a servant, and was made
in the likeness of men:
The Word of God came forth out from God...
Isa 55
[
11] So shall
my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper
in the thing whereto I sent it.
The thing?
Luke 1
[
31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy
womb...
Luke 1
[
35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that
holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the
Son of God.
John 16
[
27] For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that
I came out from God.
Mark 13
[
32] But
of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Why did Jesus, the Son of God, NOT KNOW?
Don't you believe He is ALL-Knowing?
Point being....ORDER.
The Word of God came forth out of Gods Mouth and was Sent to Mary's Womb, in a body prepared of God....in the Likeness of men....and WITHOUT His "reputation".
His "reputation" IS, He IS the Christ, but He did not come to Earth "as" the Christ. He came to Earth "as" the Son of God, and by the Name "Jesus", and bit by bit His "reputation" began to come down from Heaven, and Revealed to mankind.
They began to call Him Rabbi, Teacher, Lord...
Bit by bit He began Turning water into wine, healing the sick, reviving the dead...
^ His Reputation coming down from Heaven unto Him.
Men began to wonder if He was Elijah or John the Baptist.
Jesus asked His Disciples...
WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM...
Who could answer? How would they KNOW, He was their Christ Messiah? Scripture tells us...
Matt 16
[
16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
[
17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
How did you learn Jesus IS the Christ?
From flesh and blood men?
Point being...You are saying;
Christ most certainly DID come forth from Mary's womb.
It was the Word of God...that holy Thing that was sent to Mary's womb and came forth from Mary's womb, in the likeness of men, in a body prepared of God, without Reputation, in a body of flesh to be Given FOR the life of the world.
John 6
[
51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread
that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Jesus...The Christ, was revealed during His ministry....not at his earthly birth.
(It would be like saying; A woman, whose son is a lawyer, and her claiming, or rather, others claiming she gave birth to a lawyer...when in fact she gave birth to a son, who became a lawyer.)
Mary gave birth to Jesus, she didn't give Him Life. God is Life, Jesus is Life, and His Seed IS Life.
Jesus IS the Christ, however Jesus was not born from Mary's womb, AS the Christ.
The Christ, IS the Spirit, Wisdom and Power of God.
1 Cor 1
[
24] But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Had Mary birthed Christ...He would have known "that day".
Glory to God,
Taken
