The Son is the Father (
Isaiah 9:6); but the Father is not the Son (
Isaiah 57:15,
John 1:14).
well, A. you didn't answer the question, but B. what you said something that is anti BIBLE, so lets see if what you said is true.
While Dr. Luke gives us the account in chapter 9 of Saul’s encounter on the road to Damascus. In chapter 22. he also gives the account of what Ananias said to Saul, now Paul. 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”.
But…….but……and that's a but with one "t", but there is another account of this same encounter recorded by Dr. Luke when Paul was before king Agrippa. Listen….......... carefully.
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”.
Notice in verse 16, he said, “ for I have
appeared unto thee for this purpose, to
make thee a
minister”. that word “Make” is the same word for
chosen as to what Ananias said to Paul in chapter 22 as to who chose him. He said, “The God of our fathers hath
chosen thee”.
The Greek word for chosen, 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 Jesus said “I have
made/ Chosen thee”. this greek word is used only in two or three places in the bible, so there is no excuse. once here in Acts 26:16 and Acts 22:14. so it was the Lord Jesus who had "appeared", and chosen Paul, then Saul as his minister. So Jesus is the Same one God of the forefathers as is then and now, today. The SAME ONE person only diversified in flesh for the purpose of suffering and death to sin, and to set the perfect example.
Now the GRAND REVELATION. it was said, "
the Father is not the Son". ok, let's see. 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". this sound like two persons, is this true? no, not two person, but the same person diversified.
HOLD IT, STOP the press. the God of our fathers
chosen thee, which means according to Acts 26:16 this is JESUS. so it's JESUS who is the God of the fathers. but stop and think, that Flesh was not in the OT. so, it was the Spirit, and it's not TWO Spirits. so if it was the God of our fathers, then that had to be JESUS without Flesh and without diversification. for the ONE in the OT who made all things, according to Isaiah 44:24 is
the LORD. and it's Jesus who made all things, which means JESUS is the "
LORD", all caps. now this, Isaiah 63:16 "Doubtless thou art
our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou,
O LORD, art our father,
our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting". the
LORD is the FATHER, and JESUS is the
LORD, without flesh, who created and MADE ALL THINGS, as John 1:3 states. BINGO, Jesus is Father. I heard one poster say Jesus is both LORD and Lord. that is 100% Correct. he is the GREAT "I AM". who is First, (Father), and Last, (Son). let's see it, Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?
I the LORD,
the first, and with
the last;
I am he".................................. I AM he? yes, JESUSD is the First, (Father), and the Last (Son). so the Father is the diversity of himself in flesh as the Son. CHECKMATE.
