Hi Jodi,

You do emphasize the flesh way too much.

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

You: One thing that is for sure, simple and clear, is that God promised the house of David an eternal king from their bloodline, when they seemed to lack faith in this promise, God said He would provide a sign so that they would know that God keeps His promises. That promise was a virgin birth. The birth of Jesus was certainly God’s w…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

You: As you say, he emptied himself coming to earth, so wouldn’t he have emptied himself of those things that made him be named the Word of God?
If he was empty of those things that made him the Word, then it wasn’t the Word made flesh, it would be he emptied himself of that which made him the Word and he became flesh. However the pas…[Read more]

Hi Jodi,

Good Questions:

Me: First of All, I do not believe in the pre-existence of the son of God, except in the bosom of God.

I will try to answer your questions from a non-preexistence…[Read more]

Hi All,

New American Standard Bible
Phil 2:6 who, although He existed in the form (image) of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped (G725: try to seize hold of). 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

You: Jesus’ flesh body had the faculty to perform all the divine attributes ON EARTH, simply to manifest to Satan that HE IS THE PROPRIETOR OF THE HUMAN BODY ON EARTH. Something which Satan took it for granted that, through sin, he became the proprietor of the world, HE WAS LIKE THE MOST HIGH.
Jesus transformed Himself into an e…[Read more]

Hi Carmel,

You: In the above statement, Jesus referred to Himself not ONLY as a man, but as a divine, ETERNAL, and He as eternal cannot use the past but always present. God is not a past or a future, but always PRESENT.
The present-tense Christ. He never says, “I was.”

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word (spirit of God), and the Word was…[Read more]
