Regarding no. 2:
Are Jesus, Christ, the Messiah, and the Son of God and/or Man
all the same person?
Ok, GodsGrace I'll treat you as a sister now, because you seek a true discussion instead of arguing.
let's discuss this one point at a time. I have copied you post for continued discussion.
You have the inner man, and the outward man, scripture, 2 Corinthians 4:16 "For which cause we faint not; but though our
outward man perish, yet
the inward man is renewed day by day". one more. Romans 7:22 "For I delight in the law of God after the
inward man". the inward man is spirit, in our Lord case is called the son of man. this is who came down from heaven, scripture, John 3:13 "And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but he that came down from heaven, even
the Son of man which is in heaven." which is
not born, but Given of God. all spirits are given at birth by God (Isaiah 42:5). no woman cannot birth a spirit, nothing there to push out, spirit is "GIVEN" from God which returns after death.
now our Outward man is our
FLESH, in the case of our Lord as well as us, THE SON OF GOD, which is birthed, meaning a body that is produce (in our Lord's case), and reproduce in our case. that, yes, a woman can bring forth or give birth to. son of God is flesh, scripture, 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". so the son of God that flesh that vesture is born, but the son of MAN is given. let's check the record and be sure, Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us
a child is born, unto us
a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace". see that? A CHILD/FLESH is born. a SON/SPIRIT is given. now no where in the scriptures do the son of man get crossed up with the son of God.... (smile). son of God "OUTWARD" man, son of man" INWARD" man.
so now you may reply. if not we will move on to your #2.
