All About Jesus Christ

[BanjoPicker]

The facts about God apply to the Lord Jesus Christ in His preincarnate state as a Spirit Being, For He is one of the three separate and distinct Spirit Beings making the Deity or Godhead. Until about nineteen hundred years ago the second person of the Deity had the same kind of Spirit body, personal soul, and spirit that the Father and the Holy Spirit still have. At that time one of the three divine persons of the Trinity took human form to redeem the world. This is what has made a difference between the members of the Godhead during the last nineteen hundred years.

The pre-existence of Jesus Christ, the Bible declares that the person we now know as Jesus Christ was one of the three divine persons of the Deity and that as God He had no beginning. It is this time before He became a man that we refer to as His pre-existence. Technically, there is no such thing as existence before Him as God,but He existed before He became a man. Mic. 5:1, 2 speaks of Him as existing from all eternity. John speaks of Him as existing in the very beginning with the Father Jn.1:1-5. Jesus speaks of Himself as being before Abraham and before the world was created Jn. 8:58; 17:5, 25. Paul speaks of Him as existing before all things and as the creator and upholder of all things Col. 1:15-18; Heb.1:1-3, 8; 2:10. God the Father created all things by Him Eph. 3:9 and the Holy Spirit Gen. 1:2.

"At that time one of the three divine persons of the Trinity took human form"
What was the name that persona that took on human form?

"At that time one of the three divine persons of the Trinity took human form"
What was the name that persona that took on human form?

Gen. 3:22 And the LORD God said, behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for every.

Notice what it says, the man has become as one of us, meaning more than one of the Deity.
Matt. 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

Notice what this says for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. so now we know that Jesus was not the Holy Ghost, for it says He was of the Holy Ghost. now to Gen. 3:22 saying the man has become as one of us who can say which one of the Deity took on the form of Jesus. God the Father, and Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost only knows. You go back and read post #1 other than that you can ask the questions that you want to know when you come before God, an, Jesus at judgement time or pray for God to show you and get your answer Amen.

The Deity of Jesus Christ.

The works of God are ascribed to Him Jn. 1:3; Col. 1:15-18; Heb. 1:1-3, 10; Jn. 5:19-23; Rev.

 

[BanjoPicker]

Divine worship was given to Him. Matt. 4:9, 10; 14:33; 28:9; Lk. 24:52; Jn. 5:23; 14:14; Acts 7:59; Rom. 10:9-13; Heb. 1:6; Phil. 2:10, 11; Rev. 5:12-14. Angels and men both worship Him, but they both refuse all such worship for themselves Acts 10:25, 26; Heb. 1:6; Rev. 22:8, 9.

 

[BanjoPicker]

His name is associated with that of the Father and the Holy Spirit as being ONE of the THREE Divine persons in the DEITY.
Matt. 28:19; Jn. 5:19-23; 14:1, 23; 17:3; Rom. 1:7; 2 Cor. 13:14; 1 Jn. 5:7, 8; Rev. 5:13; 7:10; 20:6.

 

[BanjoPicker]

Equality with God in divinity is definitely stated. Jn. 5:19-29; Phil. 2:5-11.

Divine characteristics are ascribed to Him. Jn. 5:19-29; 14:26; Heb. 1:9.

He is expressly called "God" and "Lord" Jn. 1:1-3; 20:28; Acts 2:36; 20:28.

Divine attributes are ascribed to Him. This is clear from Phil. 2:5-11 where Paul speaks of Christ being in God's form and that He laid aside this form and limited His attributes and power as God to become man. Then after His earthly limitation He had these powers given back to Him. as will be proved later.

 

[BanjoPicker]

Divine names and titles are ascribed to Him. The following divine names and titles given to Jesus proves that He is by nature divine and a member of the God. He is called God and Immanuel Matt. 1:23; Jn. 1:1; 20:28; Acts 20:28, Lord Lk. 19:34; Acts 2:36, Lord of all Acts 10:36, Lord of glory 1 Cor. 2:8, wonderful counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of peace Isa. 9:6, 7, Christ the Lord Lk. 2:26, The Son of God Matt. 4:3; 14:33; Lk. 22:70; Jn. 1:34; Rom. 1:4, His Son Matt. 22:45; Jn. 3:16-8, My Son Matt. 3:17, The Only Begotten Son Jn. 1:18, 3:16-18; 1 Jn. 4:9, The First and the Last, Alpha and Omega, The Beginning and the Ending Rev. 22:12, 16, 16, The Lord Acts 9:17, The Son of the Highest Lk. 1:32; Mk. 14:61, The Bread of God Jn. 6:33, The Holy One of God Mk. 1:24, Thy Holy Child Jesus Acts 4:30, King of Kings and Lord of Lords Rev. 19:16, Lord and Saviour 2 Pet. 3:2, and The Word of God Rev. 19:13.
These and many other names and titles in Scripture prove the Deity of Jesus Christ. Some of these are used hundreds of times in Scripture. We must believe in the divinity of Christ if we are doing to believe in the Bible.

 

[BanjoPicker]

Divine offices are ascribed to Him.
He is called the creator Jn. 1:3; Col. 1:16 Heb 1:1-3; Mediator 1 Tim. 2:4, 5; Heb. 8:6; Head of the Church Eph. 1:22; Col. 1:16-24; Saviour 2 Pet. 3:2; Judge 2 Tim. 4:1; Preserver Heb. 1:1-3; Life Giver Jn. 10:28; 17:2; Lord and Christ Acts 2:36; The Resurrection and the Life Jn. 11:25.
These and many other offices and works of Christ prove Him to be divine and one with the Father as part of the Deity. He is called the fellow and equal to God as to divinity Zech. 13:7; Jn. 5:17-23; 10:30-38; 17:10.

If anything is equal to God then He can’t be “that I am”.

 

[hopper]

If anything is equal to God then He can’t be “that I am”.

So God is All?? Or could "somthing" be more or less than equal??

 

[Spotlite]

So God is All?? Or could "somthing" be more or less than equal??

From a biblical standpoint, I don’t find anything equal to, or more than God. I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer I’m just saying I know of nothing equal to God.

Edited:
“I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:”

The pre-existence of Jesus Christ, the Bible declares that the person we now know as Jesus Christ was one of the three divine persons of the Deity and that as God He had no beginning. It is this time before He became a man that we refer to as His pre-existence. Technically, there is no such thing as existence before Him as God,but He existed before He became a man. Mic. 5:1, 2 speaks of Him as existing from all eternity. John speaks of Him as existing in the very beginning with the Father Jn.1:1-5. Jesus speaks of Himself as being before Abraham and before the world was created Jn. 8:58; 17:5, 25. Paul speaks of Him as existing before all things and as the creator and upholder of all things Col. 1:15-18; Heb.1:1-3, 8; 2:10. God the Father created all things by Him Eph. 3:9 and the Holy Spirit Gen. 1:2.

Did Jesus have eyes before he was incarnate? Seriously, even if God and Jesus were spirits, they could see. Therefore if we go to Heaven as spirits, we can still see Jesus and God.
Do you believe we will go to Heaven as spirits?

 

[BanjoPicker]

HE HAD UMAN LINITATIONS AND PASSIONS LIKE MEN:
He wept Jn. 11:35, hungered Mt. 4:1-11, thirsted Jn. 4:7; 19:28, slept Mt. 8:24, grew weary Jn. 4:6, sorrowed Isa. 53:3-4, suffered physical agony Lk. 22:44, craved sympathy Mt. 26:36-40, Lk. 22:15-17, was tempted in all points as men Heb. 4:14-16, suffered physical death Jn. 19:30; 1 Cor, 15:3, and endured many human sufferings.
HE LIVE A NORMAL HUMAN LIFE:
In total dependence upon God in prayer and faith for daily grace for body, soul, and spirit, as all human beings should do Jn. 5:30-46; 6:57; 7:16; 8:27-29; Heb. 5:7-9; Phil. 2:5-10.
HE WAS LIMITED IN WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, AND POWER LOKE OTHER MEN AND WAS SUBORDINATE TO THE FATHER, In fact, His human nature is denied only by antichrists and demons.

 

[BanjoPicker]

The Union of the two Natures of Jesus Christ
The above on the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ prove that He was Divine-human Being. The orthodox theory holds that the two natures of Christ were both complete in themselves yet so organically and indissolubly united that no third nature is formed thereby. It forbids us to divide the person and confound the two natures of Jesus Christ. Being truly divine He is a true representative of God, and being truly human He is a true representative of man.
Christ constantly spoke of Himself as a single person and not as two persons in one. There is no interchange of speech between the two natures as between two persons. The attributes and powers of both natures are ascribed to one person so that they operated as part of a single individual. There is no double personality, but one single unit of characteristics of both the human and the divine. Just as any father or mother imparts, so the human and the divine were united in the one person of Jesus Christ-with one body, soul, and spirit and with one consciousness and one will.

 

[Artfuldodger]

Jesus didn't receive the Holy Spirit until John baptized him. This truth doesn’t diminish Jesus’ deity. Rather, it reminds us the reality of Jesus’ humanity.
If Jesus was the same persona of the Father, why would he need his Father's spirit? Maybe Jesus is one person with one body, soul, and spirit. Perhaps the Holy Spirit is God's spirit and not a separate persona.
It's hard for me to fathom a persona of the Godhead receiving another persona of the Godhead if he is in fact that same persona himself.
