Hi ,

Those who do not know the voice of the Spirit understandably think the man Jesus is talking about himself.

No surprises then that a doctrine of a preexistent being grew out of this mistake.

Hi DD,

Theologians say God is a person.

Jesus says God is Spirit.

Whom should we follow?

Hi DD,

yes

The Word was with God and was God in the beginning.

Spirit not flesh.

Hi t8,

Do you agree that the powers and teaching Jesus gave were all the result of the Holy Spirit in him?

Or do you think they were his own work?

Did flesh contribute anything?

Hi t8,

Christ men’s anointed and messiah.

If he was born anointed where is the record of that.

And was he anointed twice.

I remember you said the anointing at the Jordan was just the opportunity to go public about it.

This is false teaching to deny the Holy Spirit.

Hi DD,

Read the accounts of the death of Jesus Christ on Calvary and you will see his own spirit left him.

As eccl 12 tells us at death the spirit of man leaves him and returns to our God who gave it.

But then if you read 1 Peter 3 you will see that Jesus was yet alive in the Spirit.

While he was in the flesh his own spirit was with the a…[Read more]

Hi t8,

If it says Jesus Christ has come in the flesh surely you can see it does not mean a flesh man came in the flesh.

It speaks of the Spirit.

Modify you rhetoric and listen to the Spirit

Hi DD,

Yes.

And since Jesus Christ has come in the flesh it speaks not of flesh but of spirit.

The Spirit of Christ.

Hi DD,

Jesus Christ came in the flesh.

Therefore Jesus Christ is not flesh but spirit.

Hi DD,

Yes the Spirit of Christ has come in the flesh.

we do not speak of anyone according to the flesh, even Christ.2 Cor 5

Hi DD,

You need to read it in the light of 2 Cor 5.16

It is speaking of the Spirit.

“We no longer recognise anyone according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him this way no longer”

Man is obsessed with man.

Flesh contributes nothing.

Hi KW,

The Word which spoke through Jesus Christ had glory with God in the beginning.

The Word even was God before being with God.

Hi DD,

Yes what God has joined together let no man put asunder.

Jesus Of Nazareth was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and power.

We no longer speak of Christ according to the flesh.

Flesh contributes nothing.

Now the Lord is the Spirit.

Hi t,

Yes that is the natural explanation of the spiritual words.

Hi 94,

No I think it refers to the origins of the spirit of anointing on the man Jesus.

The Word was with God And was God.

As the Spirit spoke through Jesus

“I proceeded forth and came from God”

Hi t,

The Word was before John.

Seen and heard and touched in Jesus by John the apostle.

Hi t8,

We can partake in the same Spirit that he had

The Word that was with God and was God

Hi t8,

The whole gospel message is that there is a way of salvation for any man and that way is in being reborn into him and walking as he did.

You say it is not possible because of head start you want to say he had?

Hi T8,

You say we cannot follow him in all respects?

Why do you put stumbling stones before people?

Adding a new doctrine of pre-existence does that.

hi 94,

So we are all Jews under the law?
