Hi Ed,

The Spirit is one and Holy

be it of Christ or the Father.

Hi ED,

So the Spirit of Christ was in the prophets 1Peter1

Did you not say it was the Holy Spirit?

Hi Ed,

Col

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

God is spirit and man is not.

These are the descriptions of the Word that proceeded forth and came from God as with jn 8.42

Hi Ed,

Jn 1.3

All things came into being through him; and apart from him nothing came into being that has come into being.

Jn1 9

There was the true light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. he was in the world ,and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him

These are qualities and abilities attributable…[Read more]

Hi ED,

The most popular understandings are to say that Jesus

Is God

Is an angelic being

Is a pre existent man

But we know none of them are true.

He is a man conceived in Mary and anointed by God as the prophets were but more so who was greatly used by God and we can follow him.

Hi ED,

Is the Spirit of Christ the Holy Spirit?

If so who is the WE of Jn 14

Hi ED,

So where is the word CHRIST shown to mean the ANOINTER?

The Spirit of Christ was in the prophets.

How does this fit?

Hi ED,

I am open to truth.

But scripture must be aligned to reveal it.

I know you think we all pre existed and that is your way of seeing this.

Hi ED,

Two anointings and only one produced fruit?

Or do you not yet grasp prophecy?

Hi DD,

So in literal terms it means that the anointed Jesus came in the flesh.

We know Jesus was born in Bethlehem and his anointing was 30 years later.

But the Word was in the beginning with the Father and the Word became one with Jesus.

Spiritual logic is bizarre in literal terms.

Hi DD,

The whole of scripture is not about man but about the Spirit.

Flesh contributes nothing.

Hi DD,

I agree.

Jesus Christ came in the flesh.

But it must be understood spiritually.

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

This does not mean a man lived in heaven and was born.

It does not mean an angelic demigod became a man and was born.

Hi DD,

Do you deny that the Spirit came down on him at the Jordan or like Ed do you think he was anointed twice?

Hi DD,

Yes, even as an infant, he was recognised by those with prophetic powers as the one preordained  to be the Christ.

Of course the infant had no anointing yet or the evidence would have been expressed in power.

Hi DD,

Yes as Peter affirmed

Jesus is the anointed one, the son of the living God.

Of course this was said after the Jordan.

Hi Danny,

Yes Christ means ANOINTED.

Jesus Christ is the anointed one-since the Jordan

Hi Danny,

Yes it does not say JESUS came in the flesh.

It says JESUS CHRIST.

There is a very important difference-the anointing.

Hi D

Hi Ed,

Scripture says that Jesus of Nazareth was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power

but you think Jesus Christ needed to be anointed again?
