Hi All,
Does “seed” of man has to pertain to the flesh only. In the context of the whole bible, Romans 1:3 it doesn’t pertain to one definition flesh as some think does. Otherwise, all Christians would be physical descendants of David.

bodily (1), bodily condition (1), body (2), earth (1), earthly (1), fellow countrymen (1), flesh (129), fleshly (4), life (3), man (1), mankind (1), nation (1), personally (1).As you can see, flesh can mean a spiritual condition of the body. Christ was fully God in his spirit mind and man in his human mind. That is why Christ could say:

Luke 17:21 (bible Hub) Nor will they say Behold here or There Behold for the kingdom ___ of God in the midst of you is.Romans 1:3 (NKJV) concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who 4 was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.
Me: Nowhere in the bible does it say that Christ was born of the seed of the holy spirit. Why? This is because God was fully in him from birth.
2 Cor 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Isa 43:11 “I, even I, am the LORD, And there is no savior besides Me.Young’s Literal Translation
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.Me: The Word became one with flesh. As we obtain a regenerated spirit mind and thus have a mind of the holy spirit besides our human mind, God acquired a mind of the flesh. This fleshly mind bonded and grew as one with the holy mind of God himself.
Matt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Luke 135 And the messenger answering said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God;Me: God’s mind dwelt in Christ fully. The spirit aspect of his mind was the completely compatible with Father himself. CHRIST HAD THE HOLY SPIRIT IN HIM FROM BIRTH. To say that Christ had the holy spirit in him from Jordan is not biblical and is of another spirit. The human aspect of the mind of Christ is the Son of God of man. This aspect grew in its bond with the holy mind of God through the holy spirit (John 1:14).

Hi All,
Psalm 139:7 Whither shall I go from thy SPIRIT? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
Matt 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Me: God is ONE PERSON. He is mind and spirit. His mind is in heaven. His Spirit is omnipresent. He will reconcile all things to himself (Col 1:20).
John 4:24 (NIV) God is SPIRIT, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.
Me: Spirit is invisible and inaudible. His mind is in heaven. Yet he could be inside of the Messiah here on earth through the holy spirit.

They hearkened therefore to the word of the YHWH, and returned to depart, according to the word of the YHWH.Me: Notice that YHWH himself is the Word that SPOKE.
Me: The father is strictly spirit that is audible and visible through his word that put on the TABERNACLE of the Messiah.

Hi All,
Berean Literal Bible
Romans 1:20 For from the creation of the world His invisible qualities, both His eternal power and divinity, are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, for them to be without excuse.1 John 1:1 (NASB) What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning THE WORD of Life— 2 and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.
Me: We have seen and heard God through the tabernacle of the Word of God.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
1 Cor 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
1 Tim 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man (one)hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Was the Word of God the expression of the reality of God himself and thus God? Did God need to express himself before anyone or anything exist? Or did God have this ability at any time during his eternal existence? God expressed himself as the Word in a vision or dream, a burning bush, etc. but finally as the Messiah (John 1:18). The Word is the expressed image of his substance and spokesman of God.
Col 2:9 (Bible Hub) For in him (Christ) dwells the fullness of the deity bodily.

Me: This passage proves that God came in the flesh, not that Christ is purely man. Christ was completely led by the holy spirit
Truthcomber ……God is a spirit, he is not flesh. The spirit of God came into the flesh man Jesus, when he was anointed with the holy spirit at the Jordan river. Scripture say’s spirit begets spirit, flesh beget flesh. The sprit never became flesh. IT CAME TO DWELL IN THE FLESH MAN JESUS. Just as Jesus said “the father is “in” me, and again the words I am telling you are “not” my words, but the words of him who sent me.
GOD’S spirt is also given to us and comes to be “in’ us also. That is what Paul meant when he said , ” know you not that your “body” is the temple of the living GOD. Jesus body was also the “temple” of the living God. And GOD SPOKE THROUGH HIM TO US,. When Jesus said “destory this temple and in three days I (God) shall raise it up”. That was not Jesus saying that, it was GOD THE FATHER, speaking first person through Jesus’ mouth. Why?, because when Jesus was “dead” there was no way he could have raised himself up. Scripture tell us that it was God who raised the man Jesus up from the grave. Jesus did raise himself up.
Jesus is not a GOD, NOR A “ASPECT” of God either. Imo. He does speak God’s words to us, but so did Moses and all the prophets speak God’s word to us. Non of them were God’s either.

Gene:
The Word of God is the spokesman for God and speaks for his Father. I never said Jesus is an aspect of God. I said the Word of God became one with the seed or nature of David. Our father said there is no salvation but through him.
Christ said he is the resurrection. You don’t seem to understand that. Your lack of understanding and stupidity never seizes to amaze me.
Phil 2:0 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, (by which) all have sinned:
Me: It is death in our bodies that causes us to sin. Ever notice how children are basically more honest than adults were death is more ominous. Death is the opposite of life as jointly righteousness is the opposite of unrighteousness.
Gal 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

Psalm 82:1 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children (1121. ben: sons) of the most High.

Comment: The Messiah is comparing himself with those in the divine council in Psalm 82:1. This is in the substance of his body being like that of an angel. Obviously he is not addressing the rest of mankind, is he? Are men made a little lower than angels–NO?

Me: The Messiah had a body not like ours as a human. He did not receive a body with sin and death in it. If he had, he would have sinned.

Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Me: Christ is not going to become like us so he can make propitiation for our sins. He is not going to become a sinner. Rather the opposite, he is a propitiation for our sins so we can become like him. READ IT in the Greek, not man’s interpretation.

Comment: This part of Heb 2 pertains to both the Messiah and mankind.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
New American Standard Bible
Psalm 8:5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God (Elohim), And You crown him with glory and majesty!Psalm 8:5 (KJV) For thou hast made him a little lower than “Elohim”, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
“Elohim”:
https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H430&t=KJVIf it pertains to God, Elohim is singular, plural intensive. Glory and majesty pertains to the glorification of the Messiah, a little lower than God himself. The church and mankind will share in that Glory. So, eventually it will pertain to the church first and then to the rest of mankind,
Yet it could pertain to angels if Elohim is plural in number. “a little lower than angels” has to pertain to the Messiah only. Men were not created a little lower than angels. I believe both dual meanings are correct depending on the context–not just the context of the paragraphs here but the whole bible.
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels (G32) for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Me: This verse was translated this way as angels (aggelos) and not God (theos) by Jews and for Jews in the Heb 2:7 thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Heb 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Psalm 8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!Me This pertains to the Messiah first and then mankind.
Truthcomber. … Those scriptures are directed at mankind in a general sense “first”, and then they CHANGE and address another individual “man”, Jesus, who has already , because of his “death” and “resection”, achieved, the glory and honor, and all thing put under his feet, that is exactly what is in store for the rest of “mankind” also.
Why is it that you people have such problems with simple and clearly written scriptures? You don’t have to force the text to meet your personal arangments. You inject so many things into texts not even remotely implied by them, it doesn’t add anything, it only destorts what being said by them. IMO
Peace and love to you and yours. ………gene
Gene:
It is you that doesn’t understand scripture. I have never encounter someone so grossly uninformed. I showed you all the scriptures. Christ was not made physically a man like us but spiritually of the seed or nature of David. It is our bodies that have death in them that causes us to sin. Christ did not sin. Christ was the second Adam, not the second man Adam. “Son of man” is different than “man” in Psalm 8. Christ, the son of man, was made a little lower than angels with a body similar to theirs here on earth, not man. We become like the second Adam far above the angels in glory. Gene, I have no respect for your “understanding” which is of a different spirit. No one here subscribes to your heresy.
John 5:23 That all men should honour (5091. timaó: worship) the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
5091. timaó:Jesus said, it is not what goes (physically) into a mans mouth , that defiles him, no it is what comes out of his mouth, his words are what defiles him, not his physical food or make up. Words are spirit, they are not physical bodies. Of anykind.
The spirit of God has power over the Body, to keep it from sinning m need proof? Jesus.
Jesus “clearly” said he was not a spirit, even after his body was resurected from the Grave, need proof? Ask me and I will give it to you. It is “clearly’ written.
We are also told this ,
Rom 8:11……But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the “dead” dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the “dead” shall also quicken ( bring to life) “your” “mortal” “bodies, by his spirit that dwells “in” you.
Now tell us again “WHAT IS GOING TO BE “RESURECTED”. IS IT NOT OUR PHYSICAL BODIES, JUST LIKE JESUS WAS RAISED IN.? Heres another one you can chew on, Paul said this, 1 Cor 6:14, know you not that your bodies are members of Christ? Verse 19 what know you not that that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own, 20….For you are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your “body” “and ” your spirit, which are God’s . (God owns us) .
Rom 8:23…..And not only they but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselvesm waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of “our body”
On and on it goes, but to what avail?, “none”.
Truthcomber see how you can twist those simple and clearly written scriptures up, I sure you can find a away to. Tell us how they real don’t mean what they say. OK.?

Me: It is death in our bodies that causes us to sin. Death is the opposite of life. Death in us causes us to sin. The spirit of life from God causes righteousness.
I have always said that God was mind and spirit. Both are invisible. God is invisible.1 Tim 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
2 Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1 Cor 15:45 So also it is written, “The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL.” The last Adam became a life-giving SPIRIT.Me: The Word, spirit of God became one with the seed or nature of David of the seed (nature of Abraham). This is still spirit. At this point, the bonding of the seed of David is not complete until the Messiah’s glorification into heaven. Then he becomes a life giving spirit. We can be baptized into his death and resurrect with him into a new life.
John 5;25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 25 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Me: The Son is the Word of God completely bonded to the seed of David (mind, nature and heart). Thus, the resurrected and glorified Christ is the Word of God with the seed of David in it. The human mind of the Word (now Son) can give life now.
Rev 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

IS IT NOT OUR PHYSICAL BODIES, JUST LIKE JESUS WAS RAISED IN
Me: This spirit is the Word of God as I have shown you.
1 Cor 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain (seed), it may chance of wheat, or of some other (seed of the holy spirit):
1 Cor 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
Me: Christ was the only one whose body did not perish. His was a body made a little lower than angels. It is now a glorified body made so much higher than the angels.
We on the other hand, receive new bodies of the holy spirit made in the image of our old bodies. We will not have physical but spiritual bodies. Our mortals bodies are made spiritual bodies reserved in heaven for us.
You: Heres another one you can chew on, Paul said this, 1 Cor 6:15, know you not that your bodies are members of Christ?
Me: Yes, our now physical bodies are members of Christ. But it cannot be after our deaths as I have shown you by the scriptures above.
Matt 9:17 Neither do men put new wine (holy spirit) into old bottles (old bodies): else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
You: Verse 19 what know you not that that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own, 20….For you are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your “body” “and ” your spirit, which are God’s . (God owns us) .
Me: I believe that Christ is the resurrection now if we endure to the end, we do not die spiritually. So, “Glorify God in your body and your spirit” in 1 Cor 6:20. We glorify God with the holy spirit, not with the human spirit. We will share Christ’s glory in our spirits and bodies later as he shares in the glory of God. We glorify God with the spirit of God and with our new bodies
Romans 8:17 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
2 Cor 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
2 Cor 6:1 For we know that when this earthly tent (Me: temporary dwelling) we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.[a] 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.
You: Rom 8:23…..And not only they but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselvesm waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of “our body”
Me:
1 Thes 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall (450. anistémi appear) first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Me: The “dead in Christ” are those that died with him and was resurrected with him that will never die spiritually. This happened at the baptism of the spirit.
Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
