I believe Jesus is God in flesh:Do you have scriptural evidence to support your viewpoint?
I believe Jesus is God in flesh:
"Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and his name shall be called Emmanuel"
(which means, God with us). Matthew 1:23 RSV
How is God with us sir, physically? Or since the Bible reveals that no man can see God and live, was He with us by way of providing the means for life? John 3:16
The English language is a strange language Bob, as there are so many meanings and usages of words.
God was with Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit of God.
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.””
Matthew 1:21-23 NKJV
You can see when Jesus was baptized in the water by John that the holy spirit descended like a dove and rested upon Jesus.
Jesus was also the Word Of God. (John 1:1-18)
The soul inside of the Body of Jesus was the Logos of God. When you see Jesus die on the cross, he gave up the spirit and there was silence for three days afterwards the disciples thought everything was over then Yahweh/Jehovah rose the Lord Yeshua back up from the dead by the Holy Spirit.
“concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.”
Romans 1:3-4 NKJV
you must have an over active brain. Try moving into the Spirit …away from doubting everything , and start doing what the Bible tells us to do…Which is to live, walk , and dwell always IN THE SPIRIT , because that is where God dwells.
That is where He speaks to us , that is where the answers are.
You appear to be someone who believes that their calling is to try and undermine people’s faith.
You won’t get your answers by continuing to question things …try prayer and ‘waiting ‘ quietly on God Himself …
God bless you with a revelation of Himself .
Under the Law covenant maam, God did send prophets, sometimes even angels to guide His people. But under the law of the Christ, Christians were fed through the disciples being sent forth, and at the congregation meetings where 2 or 3 or more gathered in Jesus' name under holy spirit. Since the appointed times of the nations ended, and we have entered into the last day period, the faithful slave now plays the dominant role in which Christians are fed through. This spiritual food is available through many avenues, but the disciples still have a heavy hand in teaching all the things Jesus commanded Helen. Mat 28:19,20 Isa 2:2,3; Mat 24:45-47 Nice meeting you maam.
@TLHKAJ The Incarnation is indeed a vital truth. A great, vital passage, and I see @Nancy and @Helen think so too...Jesus is God. The Word made flesh.
John 1:1-18
[1]In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2]The same was in the beginning with God.
[3]All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
[4]In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[5]And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[6]There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[7]The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
[8]He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
[9]That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
[10]He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
[11]He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
[12]But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[13]Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[14]And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
[15]John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
[16]And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
[17]For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
[18]No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 8:58
[58]Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
@Bob Estey Excellent point, yes...I believe Jesus is God in flesh:
"Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and his name shall be called Emmanuel"
(which means, God with us). Matthew 1:23 RSV
Before coming to earth Jesus was God the Word. Just as the Father and the Holy Spirit are divine spirit beings, the Word was also a spirit being within the Godhead. At the same time, since no man has seen God the Father at any time, it was God the Word (now the Lord Jesus Christ) who appeared to men. He appeared either as "the Word of God" or as "the Angel of the LORD" (YHWH). That the Angel of the LORD was none other than Jesus is seen in Exodus 3, where He also called Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as "I AM". But since you do not believe that Jesus is God, you will either ignore every verse which says so, or you will try to twist the Scriptures.Do you have scriptural evidence to support your viewpoint?
First of all there is no such word as "godhead" in the Bible.....that is a made-up word to try and promote the trinity in a very biased translation of the scriptures.Before coming to earth Jesus was God the Word. Just as the Father and the Holy Spirit are divine spirit beings, the Word was also a spirit being within the Godhead.
Well, here is a very good example of why the KJV is not an accurate translation of the Bible. But you have to go back to the Greek to see how this deception is pulled off.....At the same time, since no man has seen God the Father at any time, it was God the Word (now the Lord Jesus Christ) who appeared to men.
No one twists the scripture more than the apostate church who first promoted this false teaching.He also called Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as "I AM". But since you do not believe that Jesus is God, you will either ignore every verse which says so, or you will try to twist the Scriptures.
Sorry but the Greek and the Hebrew texts prove you wrong. This is the benefit of word studies....knowledge of which you come up way short. Please expand your knowledge.In the New World Translation (NWT) of the Jehovah's Witnesses, they have literally created a false god by calling Jesus "a god" instead of God.
You are correct right up until the brackets.....These three are vital to the making of a disciple of Christ, but they are not one God with three heads.The Bible tells us very clearly that there is only one God and He is the one true God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
I think we know who has the pagan concept of three gods.....and it isn't us.The NWT "a god" tells us that Jesus was one of the false gods (like the pagans have)! In view of this, absolutely nothing coming from the Watchtower Society has any credibility.
The same ground rules that applied to the people of God in order for them to discern between truth and error, are still valid as much today as they were before Jesus.Under the Law covenant maam, God did send prophets, sometimes even angels to guide His people. But under the law of the Christ, Christians were fed through the disciples being sent forth, and at the congregation meetings where 2 or 3 or more gathered in Jesus' name under holy spirit. Since the appointed times of the nations ended, and we have entered into the last day period, the faithful slave now plays the dominant role in which Christians are fed through.
