Edj…..Jodi gives exact scripture quotations, not partial scriptures but fully written scriptures, over and over here, that is hardly “her” opinion.
Your getting her mixed up with CARMEL, AND OTHERS HERE WHO DO THAT, they even change scriptures or force the text to try to make them say what in fact the do not “specifically say, or in some cases do not even hint at.
Edj, “free will” does not even exist , that’s a Oxymoron, what Jodi is expressing is “scriptures” full exact scriptures , about subjects she understands from the Spirit of truth working “in” her. You and all would do well to listen to what she is showing you. IMO
Peach and love to you and yours. ………..gene
Edj, “free will” does not even exist
Hi Gene,
“I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel,
and of his priests and Levites, in my realm,
which are minded of their own freewill
to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.” (Ezra 7:13)You don’t exist
HI Jodi,
YOU: Carmel, God gave His Son, ( ME: IN WHAT WAY and HOW GOD GAVE HIS SON, EXPAND PLEASE SHOW US YOUR WISDOM!)
This is the scripture:
John3:16 For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world,
to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him. (THE FATHER COULD NOT DO IT, ALL BY HIMSELF)
YOU: who was perfected through suffering, ( ME: AGAIN HOW HE WAS PERFECTED, WHEN HE WAS BORN SINLESS? PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF TRUTH SAY WHAT’S WITHIN YOUR MENTALITY! NOW READ THIS SCRIPTURE IN RELATION TO WHAT
JESUS PERFECTED:
John 4:34 Jesus saith to them:
My meat is to do the will of him that sent me,
that I may perfect his work!
say something Jodi,
WHAT WORK OF THE FATHER DID JESUS PERFECT?
YOU: to die for the payment of our sins.( WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH “THE PAYMENT OF OUR SINS?)
DID JESUS PAY WITH HIS LIFE IN ORDER FOR HUMANITY TO KEEP ON SINNING, WITHOUT GETTING THE BLAME? CLARIFY WHAT YOU PREACH Jodi PLEASE.)
Peace and love in Jesus Christ
Hi Jodi,
You said “The word of God is God, he and his words are one and the same thing”. So God “was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). So Jesus was God and Man. I knew you would eventually acknowledge the truth.
HI Jodi,
YOU: He died but was not deserving of death because he had been without sin,
Jodi, JESUS COULDN’T DIE, SINCE HE HAD NO SIN!
HE DIED BECAUSE HE OPTED TO.
HE HAD THE POWER TO DIE, Read scripture:
John10:18 No man taketh it away from me:
OK Jodi DID YOU EVER REFLECTED ON THE ABOVE?
DID EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT WHAT JESUS MADE CLEAR WAS
THAT HE COULD NEVER BE KILLED UNLESS HE ALLOWS IT.
but I lay it down of myself.
And I have power to lay it down:
OK Jodi JESUS HAD A PARTICULAR POWER TO CONSUME HIS HUMAN LIFE HIMSELF, BRING IT TO AN END!
NO HUMAN ON EARTH IS CAPABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS.
HUMANS SIMPLY COMMIT SUICIDE! THEY DON’T REQUIRE ANY KIND OF POWER!
and I have power to take it up again.
IN THE ABOVE HE SIMPLY MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE ALSO HAS THE EQUIVALENT POWER TO COME BACK TO LIFE.
This commandment have I received of my Father.
THE ABOVE MAKES US AWARE WHAT JESUS MEANT.
THE FATHER IS SPIRIT. JESUS SIMPLY PINPOINTED OUT THAT HIS PARTICULAR DEATH HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH HUMAN’S DEATH!
HUMANS DIE BECAUSE THEY ARE SINNERS,
ALREADY SPIRITUALLY DEAD,
SO ONLY THE FLESH WAS ALIVE! SIMPLY BY
“THE WORD” Jesus’spirit, the Son of Man, THE LIFE, WHICH PROCEEDED FROM THE MOUTH OF THE FATHER. Isaiah 55:11.
THUS JESUS “THE WORD” LIFE ITSELF, WAS ALIVE BOTH IN HIS FLESH AND IN HIS SPIRIT. SO NO ONE COULD EVER KILL JESUS, SIMPLY
AS HE HAD BOTH THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT OF THE FATHER IN HIM, and HIMSELF THE FATHER’S SUBSTANCE! HIS OWN WORD! Hebrews 1:3 and more specified in
Isiah 48: I, (GOD THE FATHER) even I have spoken and CALLED HIM: I have BROUGHT HIM, and his way is made PROSPEROUS.(Isaiah 55:11)
16 Come ye near unto me, and hear this:
(“THE WORD” Jesus, THE SON OF MAN SPEAKING) I have not spoken in secret from the beginning:
from the time before it was done,
I was there, (GODMAN IN JESUS CHRIST)
and now the Lord God hath
SENT ME,(AS “THE WORD”) and HIS SPIRIT. (IN THE HOLY GHOST)
17Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer,
( JESUS CHRIST) the Holy One of Israel:
I AM THE LORD THY GOD.
that teach thee profitable things, that govern thee in the way that thou walkest. (JESUS’ MISSION)
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE ABOVE MEANS?
OBVIOUS, JESUS CHRIST ALREADY IN THE GLORY WITH THE FATHER, BEFORE THE WORLD WAS,
WAS SENT, THUS HE EMPTIED HIMSELF FROM HIS DIVINITY AND AS “THE WORD”, SPIRIT MADE FLESH, TO BE CLEAR:
FROM SPIRIT INTO FLESH BY THE FATHER, IN A TWINKLING OF AN EYE, NOT NINE MONTHS LIKE HUMANS, Jodi,
HAD THE POWER TO TRANSFORM BACK HIS FLESH INTO SPIRIT, AND
DISSOLVE HIS FLESH EVEN VANISH COMPLETELY IF NEEDED INTO THIN AIR ANY TIME HE WANTED, SO NO ONE KILLS HIM.
NOW FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY,
JESUS DID TRANSFORM HIS FLESH INTO SPIRIT ACCORDING TO GOD’S WILL, EVEN BEFORE HE WAS ARRESTED!
Luke 13:32 And he said to them: Go and tell that fox: Behold, I cast out devils and do cures, to-day and to-morrow, and
the third day I AM CONSUMMATED. (JESUS SPIRITUALIZED HIS FLESH BODY)
JESUS WENT INTO THIS HUSSLE FOR THE SAKE OF THE HUMAN FLESH BODY, IN ORDER TO BE SPIRITUALIZED LIKE THAT OF JESUS.
THE NEW JERUSALEM. WHICH IS WAITING IN HEAVEN FOR US IN JESUS CHRIST.
1 Peter 16 Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy.
Thus Jesus spiritualized His body BY HIS HOLY LIFE!
NOW HUMANS Jodi NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY TRY,
THEY COULD NEVER ACHIEVE HOLINESS! OK?
Jesus’ task was throughout DIVINE and NOT FOR HIMSELF, BUT FOR HUMANITY, SATAN’S PROPERTY THROUGH SIN.
HE EMPTIED HIMSELF OF HIS DIVINITY AND WAS BORN A MAN NOT FOR HIMSELF BUT IN ORDER TO BE BORN EMBODIED
IN THE ENTIRE CURSED HUMAN RACE BOTH HEAVENLY AND EARTHLY, BOTH GOOD AND EVIL, ALL IN HIM, Genesis 2:4
HE WAS BAPTIZED AND WAS BORN IN THE SPIRIT,
NOT FOR HIMSELF, BUT FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING MANY BRETHREN.
ON HIS BAPTISM, JESUS JUSTIFIED THE HUMAN RACE ALL RIGHTEOUS EMBODIED IN HIMSELF. SIMPLY AS DURING HIS LIFE HE
DISSOLVED ALL PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE SINS LOADED ON HIM DURING THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF THE WORLD, WHEN
HE LIVED ON EARTH IN THE MOST HOLY LIFE DESPITE CONFRONTED INSIDE OUT BY THE FULL POWER OF SATAN AND HIS DEMONS FOR THIRTEEN YEARS, AGAIN, NOT FOR HIMSELF BUT FOR HUMANITY,
HE PERFECTED THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE AND ITS ENTIRE PROCESS IN HIMSELF. FOR THOSE WHO
BELIEVE AND LIVE LIKE JESUS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!
NOW IN ORDER FOR HUMANITY TO BECOME HOLY, GOD ENGRAFTED “THE WORD” Jesus, THE SON OF MAN, ETERNAL LIFE, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING IN ALL CREATURE’S HEART, SIMPLY
SO GOD LOOKS AT HUMANITY
NOT IN THEMSELVES
THROUGHOUT SATANIC THROUGH SIN, BUT
IN HIS SON,
THE MOST HOLY, THE HOLY ONE OF GOD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, WITHIN THEIR HEARTS!
SLAIN LIKE A LAMB FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD.Rev.13:8
UNDERSTAND THIS TRUE PROCESS FOR GOD’S SAKE.
YOU PREACH THAT HUMANS ARE NOT SAVED BECAUSE OF THE PRE-EXISTING OF JESUS!
THE BIGGEST LIE EVER PRONOUNCED! WITH EVERY RESPECT.
GOD ALL-KNOWING.
IT WAS VITAL FOR HUMANS TO BE ENGRAFTED WITH THE INFINITESIMAL SPIRIT OF JESUS, “THE WORD” THE SON OF MAN,
PRE-EXISTED IN THEIR HEART, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING IN THE ENDLESS SPIRITS EMANATED FROM GOD, BY WHOSE SPIRITS LUCIFER, HUMAN’S ORIGINAL SPIRIT, WAS CREATED, FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT THEY ARE SIMPLY
GRANTED ETERNAL LIFE, SALVATION, AND HOLINESS AUTOMATICALLY,
ONCE THEY BELIEVE IN JESUS AND HIS UNFATHOMABLE PROCESS,
THE ONLY WAY IN ORDER FOR HUMANS TO
RETURN TO THEIR SPIRITUAL GODLY STATE, LIKE THAT OF
JESUS CHRIST.
OUR LORD GOD AND FATHER FOR THE NEW WORLD TO COME
Peace and love in Jesus Christ
Hi Pilgrim,
YOU:
You said “The word of God is God, he and his words are one and the same thing”. So God “was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). So Jesus was God and Man. I knew you would eventually acknowledge the truth.
ME: Not good form Pilgrim to deduce a belief by picking out part of my post and ignoring the rest. Makes sense though, it’s seems on par with how you treat the bible, just picking out what you want so it fits your doctrine while not applying the rest.
Yes, I quoted that which Gene said, and Gene further explained that your word comes from your intellect, it comes from your thoughts, and as I said our one true God the Father’s word expresses to us His character and it gives us His intentions, the plan that has been in His mind since before the world even began, an intent that He declared from the beginning.
<span style=”color: #ff0000;”>Isaiah 11, 42 and 61 IS OUR ONE TRUE GOD THE FATHER’S WORD</span>, <span style=”color: #0000ff;”>and that word of prophecy became TRUE IN THE FLESH OF JESUS OF NAZARETH</span>, and people beheld the glory of that word becoming true. They saw and heard a man perform miracles and speak our Father’s word because the Spirit of our Father was upon him. They saw a man, who had left the river Jordan having been filled with the Spirit, come unto them, where he by that Spirit was full of grace and truth.
Carmel….You do not understand, that Jesus had power to lay down his life or take it up , because the Spirit of God dwelt “in” him. The same thing applies to all, who have the Spirit of God, “in” them , it is the power of the resurection from the grave. Carmel you and others seem to not read or not understood these scriptures.
Roman 8:8-11….. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God, “but you”, (those anointed ones) are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell “in” you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ (the same anointing Spirit Jesus had) , he is none of his. And if the anointing (or Christos) be in you, the “body” is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is “life” because of rightiousness.
Now please pay “attintion”, But if the Spirit “of Him” that raised up Jesus, from the “dead” “dwell in you” He”, (God ) that raised up Christ (the anointed one) from the “dead, shall “also” quicken your mortal (dead) “bodies” by “His”(God the Fathers) Spirit, that dwell “in” you.
So Carmel why continue to serve Satan by driving a wedge between us and Jesus, our “anointed” brother, just like we are. You and others work tirelessly trying to teach, Satan’s “DOCTRINE OF SEPERATION”, trying to make Jesus appear different then his human brothers and sisters.
Well did Jesus himself say, that “many” would come in his name saying, he was the Christ, and decieve “many”. Carmel the Jesus you preach is not the Jesus of the Bible. You preach and worship him as “your” God, therefore you arrogantly defy the very words of God himself, who said clearly, “you shall have “no” other God, besides me”, you shall make no “image” of me in heaven above or earth beneath “. 2THS2 , but you and false teachers like you have made Jesus into an, “image”, of GOD and worship him as your GOD . You are commiting “idolatry ” , even if you don’t realize it, repent while there is still time, or you will suffer the results of your foolishness.
Peace and love to you and yours. ………gene
Edj…..we have been through all that before , that scripture is no speaking about hoe the will “itself” Works. even simple logic itself , should tell you that he was speaking of a person who “volinteers” to do it, but it is not addressing the “reason” that caused that person to “will” to do it, now is it? We all have freedom to do thing we “want” to, but the reason we “want” to, is the issue I an talking about , an believe me it has nothing to with a “will” that is itself “free”. , no but a “will” that is being influenced to will or want to.
The word “freewill” is a Oxymoron, because no such thing exists.
Peace and love to you and yours. ………gene
Jodi… Right God’s words are the expression of “his thoughts”, not the thoughts of anyone else, and when anyone “quotes” them as Jesus and the prophets did to us, they were expressing GOD the Fathers “thoughts”, not theirs.
God and his word are one and the same thing, just as our words and us are the same thing, no difference. We cannot seperate the mind from the words spoken by “anyone”, including GOD’S mind, from his words.
Therefore every man shall be judged by his own words, for they proceed out from his own heart, even so GOD the Fathers words proceed out of his own heart also. All those who are “in” the Father find rest for their souls, because they trust in them, and therefore rest in the words of their God.
Peace and love to you and yours………gene
Hi Gene,
AMEN!!!
This whole business of saying Jesus is “The Word”, is just one of the most nonsensical doctrines of all.
I’d really like to see them admit that our Father promised to rest His Spirit upon the son of Jesse, and Jesus became that word that was spoken by our Father made true in him, thus our Father’s word that He spoke was made true in the flesh, and people beheld his glory.
That anointed flesh was then sent out into the world. Jesus the anointed Son of Man, a Son of God according to the Spirit, a Son of God for being led by the Spirit was SENT to save that which was lost, coming to the people directly in the flesh.
Hi Carmel,
We have discussed this before,
You are in error,
Jesus was a mortal human who could be tempted, who could feel pain and who could die.
He could have chosen to save himself from death on the cross, but he didn’t because he was obedient, and he was obedient because God was directing all his ways. The very reason why he was persecuted and killed was because of the works of God that he was doing. God knew in sending the anointed Jesus of Nazareth out into a world that some would reject him and plot to kill him.
By his obedience he was perfected remaining as a lamb without spot or blemish who could thus be the sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins, which was death, so with our sins forgiven we may have life again. Because he remained without sin God could not hold him to the penalty of death, so our heavenly Father raised him from the dead, as he was not deserving of that death. God wouldn’t even allow for his flesh to decay even!
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
Jesus knows that he is laying down his life so that sins could be forgiven and a resurrection thus can occur. Jesus knows that by him laying down his life he will be the man ordained of God to judge the world having the power to grant eternal life.
Carmel, JESUS DIES SPECIFICALLY SO THAT HE MAY TAKE LIFE AGAIN FOR ALL!!!
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
Jesus dies and you are directly told in several passages it is our heavenly Father who raises Jesus from the dead. Look at the surrounding text Carmel, it is obvious that Jesus is laying down his life not so that he can raise his own life up again, but he is doing it so that he can raise up his sheep and give them eternal life.
Hi Jodi,
YOU: This whole business of saying Jesus is “The Word”, is just one of the most nonsensical doctrines of all.
John1:1 In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God: and the Word was God.
According to you, THESE THREE EMPHATICAL STATEMENTS FROM JOHN, THE MOST SPIRITUAL WRITER EVER EXISTED,
THE FACT THAT HE WAS
THE ONE JESUS, GODMAN LOVED.
ARE NONSENSICAL!
Isaiah 55:8For my thoughts are not your thoughts:
MERE CREATURES ARE FOR SURE NOT IN THE POSITION TO HAVE A MERE GLIMPSE OF GOD’S THOUGHTS, BUT I AM ALSO SURE THAT A PERSON CARNALLY MINDED LIKE YOU, and also GENE, will be in the greatest difficulty even just
TRYING IF IT WAS POSSIBLE, to explain
THE SPIRITUAL THINGS OF GOD,
DESPITE THEY ARE WRITTEN IN BLACK ON WHITE,
NEVER MIND HIS WORD!
nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
The above is even more PUZZLING FOR YOU BOTH!
9For as the heavens are exalted above the earth,
so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
10And as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return no more thither, but soak the earth, and water it, and make it to spring, and give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be,
Notice Isaiah used the PLURAL all the way, but he used the SINGULAR WHEN HE MENTIONED
“THE WORD” A CLEAR MESSAGE THAT IT IS A REFERENCE TO
JESUS, THE SON OF MAN.
NOW PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE MOST SIMPLE PLAIN CLEAR ENGLISH WORDS FROM GOD, IN
Isaiah 10 but not just ONLY AS ACTUAL WRITTEN WORDS, but also AS THE SPIRITUAL TASK HIDDEN IN THEM and apply THEM to
“THE WORD” JESUS THE SON OF MAN, I know, IT IS MORE THEN DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY FOR YOU BOTH, with every respect!BUT DO YOUR BEST!
YOU ADMIT THAT GOD’S WORD IS HIS, BUT IN THE SAME TIME YOU COMPLETELY IGNORE THE PURE FACT THAT
GOD IS SPIRIT AND ALL HIS CHARACTERS, ATTRIBUTES, AND TASKS ARE ALL SPIRITS, AND
BY HIS SPIRITS HE CREATES ALL.
WE, HUMANS, ARE CORRUPTED SPIRITS.LUCIFER’S ORIGIN.
AND OUR FLESH IS ALREADY SPIRIT IN HEAVEN, RECREATED ANEW IN
JESUS CHRIST.
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be
THE (PARTICULAR) God and Father OF
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who according to HIS GREAT MERCY hath regenerated us unto a lively hope, by
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead: ( THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE EMBODIED IN JESUS’ DEAD BODY,
BY THE SPIRIT OF HIM JESUS CHRIST GODMAN ON EARTH!
THE MAN BORN AGAIN JOHN 3:3)
4Unto an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled and that cannot fade, reserved in heaven FOR YOU,
5Who, by the power of God, are kept by faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.
YOU: This whole business of saying Jesus is “The Word”, is just one of the most nonsensical doctrines of all.
Now Jody read what YOUR CARNAL MINDED REASONING CONSIDERS:
the most nonsensical doctrines of all.
Isaiah 55: 11 So shall my word be, (JESUS, THE SON OF MAN PRE-EXISTED AS A SPIRIT in the entire process of the world, John 6:27, SLAIN LIKE A LAMB…Rev.13:8) which shall go forth from my mouth:
it shall not return to me void, (THIS NONSENSICAL WORD RETURNS BACK TO THE FATHER AND ALSO LOADED, YOU KNOW WITH WHAT? DON’T TELL ME THAT EVEN THIS YOU DON’T SEE, I TELL YOU
WITH ALL SOULS PURIFIED BY THE BLOOD OF
“THE WORD” JESUS THE SON OF MAN” and recreated ANEW ON HIS RESURRECTION, ALL IN JESUS’DEAD BODY!
I WONDER Jodi and Gene,
DOES YOUR WORDS, WHICH ARE DEFINITELY
NONSENSICAL
RETURN BACK JUSY ONLY TO YOUR MOUTH, NEVER MIND YOUR HEART, THAT’S WOULD BE TOO FAR!
but it shall do whatsoever I please, (AGAIN THIS NONSENSICAL WORD OF GOD PLEASES THE FATHER IN ALL ITS WORK)
and shall prosper in the things for which I sent it.( HEI! THIS NONSENSICAL WORD, IS
STILL DOING GOD’S WILL!
DO YOU KNOW THAT? NO, YOU SIMPLY
DON’T
POOR JODI AND GENE!
Peace and love in Jesus Christ
Jodi,
You stated that I “treat the bible, just picking out what you want so it fits your doctrine while not applying the rest”. Let’s examine who actually does that.
In John 1:2 the word “He” is used to refer to “the Word” in John 1:1 indicating a being. So let’s now read John 1:1-3 as it is written. “In the beginning was (He) the Word and (He) the Word was with (not IN) God, and (He) the Word was God. The same (He the Word) was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him (He the Word); and without Him (He the Word) was not any thing made that was made”. This explicit and clear text is supported elsewhere in the New Testament (e.g. Colossians 1, Hebrews 1, Philippians 2 to cite a few).
In John 1:14 we read “And (He) the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us“.
In John 1:30 John the Baptist says plainly and explicitly of the person Jesus the Lamb Of God (who is the Word made flesh), spoken of in this very chapter, “This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was BEFORE me.”
Now this is how you interpret these verses to fit your doctrine: “In the beginning was the mind, plan, intention, thought (of the Father) and the mind, plan, intention, thoughts (of the Father) was with the Father, and the mind, plan, intention, thoughts (of the Father) was the Father. The same (I.e. the mind, plan, intention, thoughts of the Father) was in the beginning with the Father. All things were made by the mind, plan, intention, thoughts (of the Father) and without the mind, plan, intention, thoughts (of the Father) was not any thing made that was made”. This same method of interpretation then is used in the other scriptures and in John 1:14 we read, according to you interpretation, “And mind, plan, intention, thoughts of the Father was made flesh, and dwelt among us“.
In John 1:30 we are now supposed to read, according to your interpretation, “This is the mind, plan, intention, thoughts (of the Father ) of whom I said, After me comes a man (the prophesied man who is the mind, plan, intention, thoughts of the Father) who is preferred before me: for he (the prophesied man who is the mind, plan, intention, thoughts of the Father) was before (in the mind, plan, intention, thoughts Of the Father) me.” John 1:30
It seems pretty clear who is interpreting and changing scripture to fit their doctrine. I haven’t changed the explicit and clear text of scripture at all, letting it rather speak truth without the need to approach it from a particular doctrinal position by rewording the text. Yet to understand even these FEW verses in John 1, in order to fit your theology, one has to replace scriptural text with other unstated meaning and a set of words to make it read what you want it to say. All because you can not allow scripture to contradict your view of the Father being the one and only true God.
Beside this you miss the many parallels between John 1 and Genesis 1.
You do a similar thing in regard to other texts and also in relation to the Holy Spirit [which I MAY illustrate in a future post if I think it would be of any use seeing you look at scripture through particular doctrinal (not scriptural nor inspired) “glasses”].
Pilgrim…..The same thing can be said about “in the beginning of you, the words came be you, and the word is also “with” the man “you”. Why do you think it is any different with Our God, in the “BEGINNING”, of “all” things in this earth, was the words God spoke, GENESIS 1, “AND GOD SAID” , LET THERE BE”. John was not referencing the “man” Jesus at all not or any prexisting being either, he was speaking about GOD , who first “in the biginning” “SPOKE” A “WORD”, it was GOD HIMSELF WHO SPOKE THOSE WORDS. Not another being of anykind, espically Jesus because, he was not even born yet .
All anyone has to do is simply go to GENESIS 1, and read it for himself, and you can easely know who spoke there , it was not Jesus who spoke there, it was Almighty GOD himself, who is, “the “only” true GOD”, according to Jesus, but then again you people do not truly “believe” what Jesus said do you? , or you would have apsolutely no problem understanding what John 1 is saying at all.
Peace and love to you and yours. ……..gene
So Jesus was God and Man
English uses capitals where Greek uses the definite article (the).
So what your sentence says is Jesus is the God and the Man.
This means he is God and Adam.
If you understood nature versus identity, then you could state that Jesus was god and man, that is, he is divine and also a man.
To consider this further, it is correct to say that Eve was adam but not Adam. Or that she was man, but not the man.
Most people who teach the Trinity have little understanding of the difference between identity and nature.
Good Morning Pilgrim,
1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the word of life; 2 For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
God saves us through the son of Jesse whom He had promised to anoint (Chrio) with His Spirit and then send this anointed (Christos) into the world to do the work of God.
Below is God’s WORD spoken by the prophet Isaiah being declared by Jesus to have been MADE TRUE IN THE FLESH,
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
Pilgrim, that which was from the beginning, THE WORD OF LIFE, that was WITH THE FATHER was manifested (made known to us) through the anointed Jesus of Nazareth. The anointed Jesus not only preached THE WORD OF LIFE but also THAT WORD OF LIFE became true in him when he became the first begotten of the dead, a firstborn of many brethren, receiving the glory that had been of God for mankind declared by our ONLY TRUE GOD THE FATHER from the beginning.
Eternal life that was with the Father from the beginning, a spoken promise, was preached by Jesus, and was made known as true through the witnessing of the resurrected Jesus. This Jesus was foreordained before the foundation of the world, all that our ONE TRUE GOD THE FATHER had made was created by reason of and for this man who our God had promised unto David he would be a firstborn, and a king higher than the kings of the earth (Psalm 89:27).
1 Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
Mark 10:39 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them,Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
Ezekiel 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Matthew 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him,Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
RECALL Isaiah 61 and Luke 4 and apply, Isaiah 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives,
We are to know assuredly that even the death of this man was according to God’s foreknowledge,
Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
As was promised David’s son would be our savior,
Acts 13: 22 …I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. 23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: 24 When John had first preached BEFORE HIS COMING the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Our ONE TRUE GOD THE FATHER PROMISED ETERNAL LIFE, it was His WORD that was WITH Him from the beginning. IN that WORD that was WITH our Father was THE MAN APPROVED OF BY GOD, DAVID’S SEED who would be a savior. The WORD of eternal life doesn’t exist without this man who was anointed to preached it, had it become true in him, and has been appointed by our Father to give it unto his brethren. Without this WORD nothing would have been made that was made. Our Father when He formed the earth by HIMSELF He did not do so in vain, He created it so that it would be inhabited, where it would come to pass that all flesh would come to worship him (Isaiah 45:18, 66:23). Our Father made humans in His own image, and it is the Son of a Human who is returning in our Father’s glory where he will sit on his father David’s throne according to the flesh, being a Son of God according to the Spirit.
Just as eternal life unto mankind was WITH God from the beginning, so too was this son of David who God promised He would be a Father to, never taking His grace away from him, giving it for him to have for all eternity.
Hi Pilgrim,
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word (eternal life, which doesn’t exist without the man who shed his blood), and the Word (eternal life) was with God, and the Word (eternal life) was God (for eternal life comes through His Spirit, for the Spirit is righteousness and thus life). 2 He was in the beginning with God. (just as the word of eternal life was in the beginning with God, God had foreordained the man who would be anointed with His Spirit to then be sent to deliver captives) 3 All things were made through 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.
Isaiah 42:6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
The light is the son of Jesse, the son of David and Abraham upon him being anointed with God’s Spirit and sent out to deliver captives, bring forth liberty. He was begotten with the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, Council and Might, Knowledge and fear of the LORD, a calling to righteousness where God directs all his ways. The people beheld this man’s glory, the glory that God had promised He would give to no other mortal man, an only begotten filled with grace and truth, a Son who only he was given the Spirit not by measure, God’s WORD MADE TRUE IN THE FLESH. This anointed man who was foreordained before the foundation of the world was God’s WORD FROM THE BEGINNING MADE TRUE IN THE FLESH.
Without eternal life there was no point in God creating the heavens and the earth, He thus created it by reason of and for this man who would shed his blood and be raised up a first begotten of the dead receiving the promised Holy Spirit and the mercies of David. Without this man nothing would have been made that was made.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
