Do you believe this:
1 Tim 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.Lightenup replied to the topic Does 1 Peter 2 imply that Jesus is God? in the forum Truth or Tradition 11 years, 6 months ago

you said:We are not told what there body is composed of so all we can do is speculate.
Is it reasonable to assume that their bodies are significantly different than humans although similar in some ways?

So is that a no…this verse, as translated is not your confession?The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Is this your testimony
1 Corinthians 15:47The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Of all those that have possibly been called God/god in scripture, how many of them have dominion over all creation for ever and ever? Can you identify them?

Hi Gene,
Do you believe that the angels have some type of body? If so, what type?

Do you anticipate your mortal body to be changed into an immortal body but still ‘house’ your person after you die?Lightenup replied to the topic Does 1 Peter 2 imply that Jesus is God? in the forum Truth or Tradition 11 years, 6 months ago
@kerwin
you said:His body is already the descendant of David and therefore cannot be God kind. So all that is left is the spirit and soul.
Why do you believe that a heavenly being cannot supernaturally become flesh if it is God’s purpose?

Thanks for your reply.you said:
I believe the Son is an eternal, divine spiritual being of the order of Creator Sons.
And how many eternal Creator Sons do you believe exist?

@kerwin
you said:In short god = child of God
Well, I totally disagree with your equation there!
Please answer each question:
1. Based on what you claim, do you refer to Jesus as god?
2. Is Baal a child of God because he is a god to some?
3. Are Jesus’ brethren all children of God? Where does Jesus call His brethren “god/gods?”Lightenup replied to the topic Who is HE, what is HIS name? in the forum Scriptural Teachings 11 years, 6 months ago
@Spock,
If someone responds to you by hitting reply, I think the response goes somewhere other than on this thread. It goes to your profile activity area, I think…If you put the @ before the name of the person that you are responding to instead of hitting the reply tab, the person gets notified that you mentioned them.

Hi! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We may be on the same page here 🙂
I believe that Prov. 8 speaks about the person of Jesus also. In fact, I believe that on day one of creation when God said “Let there be Light” it was perhaps the announcement of that event of Him bringing the Son forth, His begettal. Anyway, I believe that it has…[Read more]Lightenup posted a new activity comment 11 years, 6 months ago
Hi Wakeup,
I never said He was a creature, in fact I believe He was not created but always existed as the offspring within the Father and then before creation, was brought forth from within the Father. I believe that ‘Let there be Light’ was the announcement of this most significant event. Realize this, that even man exists before they become a…[Read more]Lightenup posted a new activity comment 11 years, 6 months ago
Wakeup,
He was the firstborn over all creation. That implies sonship. It was in that position that He created all things. So obviously the Son was there before man.Lightenup replied to the topic Does 1 Peter 2 imply that Jesus is God? in the forum Truth or Tradition 11 years, 6 months ago
The disciples called Jesus, Lord and God. Jesus never called them that. Factor that in. God also called Him ‘God.’
I’m glad that you see Him as your brother because that is a big part of the gospel…Him as a heavenly being and then becoming flesh is a huge part of the plan. You miss Him as the heavenly being that came in the flesh and you cannot…[Read more]

you said:Your analogy contradicts God’s own words.
I disagree that my analogy contradicts God’s own words. If I agreed then I would not hold on to my understanding. Let me demonstrate this to you in the verses that you wrote down as supposed evidence of contradiction:
