What is your confession regarding Jesus

Many confess that Jesus Christ is God and part of the Trinity.

Q: So who in scripture also confessed that? A: No one.

Ancient diagram of the Trinity

Instead:

Peter confessed that Jesus Christ was the son of God and the messiah.

Paul confessed that there was one God the Father and one Lord, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus confessed that eternal life was to know the only true God and Jesus Christ who the one true God sent.

The Father confessed that Jesus is his beloved son.

What is the true confession and how does that compare to your confession.
Who is Jesus really.

Can he be the messiah, son of God, and Lord, and yet also be God at the same time? Is he really the son of himself?

Hi ED,
All men are enlivened by the human spirit.
We are designed as vessels for the divine Spirit.

One sees us through 70-80 years or so.
The Holy Spirit gives us eternal life.

ECC 12.Jn 4, Jn7
We need to find the waters of life before the rope breaks and the bucket falls to the bottom of the well.

Edj,
If Christ was established through Jesus’ glorification, HOW MAY I ASK COULD HAVE BEEN IN ADAM?
Charles,
The bible says that the spirit of Christ was in the Prophets. (ref. 1Peter 1:11)
We are having the same conversation in this thread as well…
PROOF of Jesus’ eternal past existence
Please Charles, let’s talk about this there.
Wake-up use to talk about the same stuff on every thread. And so does BD to an extent.
Having the same conversation on all the threads means you can’t find what you said,
because there are too many places to look for it. Thanks for your consideration!

hi ED,
It is not written.
So it remains your own speculation.
What God has made plain is that the gift of His own Spirit transforms natural men.
And if men allow that divine Spirit to control them they become sons of God.
Such is the ultimate plan of God to allow us to become spiritually united with Him.
It arises out of our hopeless state of condemnation because of service to the god of this world.
Those who do not take up this offer remain under His wrath and become part of the dregs of creation.
Hi Nick,
Are you saying that is not the case before sin entered the world?

Hi ED,
The serpent was already in the garden before the arrival of Adam.
What happened is a clear indication that in his natural state man is unable to deal with the god of this world.
Adam submitted to that god and rebelled against the True God cutting all his descendants off from the simple communion with God that he had enjoyed.

Sin in the flesh ruled men and only the work of God’s Spirit could rescue him from this state.

Hi T8,
So is your confession about Jesus that he was a godly being before his conception?

Hi ED,
There is no word in genesis suggesting that the reverse is true.
The discussion in Gen 3 1f does not indicate this vessel was a newcomer any more than any other ‘beast of the field’ created in Gen 2.19 f

The serpent is identified as satan in Rev 12.9

Hi ED,
Adam was CREATED before the serpent.
But the serpent was a vessel for the prince of this world who was before Adam.

Hi t8,
Jn7
.16
“.. My teaching is not mine but His Who sent me”

v18
“He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of the One Who sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him”

Christ Jesus spoke for the Father.
But men attribute his sayings to the man himself.

Hi ,
If Jesus was a mouthpiece for God why do men want to make him some sort of god?

Hi,
What was promised to us in Jn 14-16 was given to Jesus.
The Spirit of Christ and the spirit of truth in the one Holy Spirit.
But folks do not know the Spirit and attribute divine powers to the human vessel.

Strangely when the apostles and prophets raised the dead none of this attribution occurred.
Acts 2.22

Hi,
Jn6.38
“For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him Who sent me”
Jn 6.38
” For the bread of God is that which came down out of heaven, and gives life to the world’

jn6.51
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven..”

Man cannot live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God

Does anyone not realise that this is the WORD that is speaking through the vessel of Jesus?

Hi,
Folk seem happy to accept when evil spirits speak through the vessel of man such as the demonised man in the tombs conversing with Jesus.
However they are uncomfortable with the Holy Spirit doing so though Jesus Christ.
Yet he told us this happened.

Hi,
John 8.22
“.. where I am going you cannot come”
and he was saying to them
“You are from below. I am from above;
you are of this world ;I am not of this world”

This is the WORD speaking through the anointed man Jesus.

Hi,
Jn 8.42
“.IF GODWERE YOUR FATHER , YOU WOULD LOVE ME; FOR I PROCEEDED FORTH AND HAVE COME FROM GOD, FOR I HAVE NOT EVEN COME ON MY OWN INITIATIVE,BUT HE SENT ME”

And men only hear the man

Hi,
Jn 17.24
“Father I desire that they also, whom Thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, in order that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me;
for thou didst love me before the foundation of the world”

The WORD was with God
