Hi KW,

To lay down your life is not to sacrifice yourself.

Other men were involved in his death.

Some doubted his given authority in scripture too and he did not help them

Lk 20

Who is it who gave You this authority?” … 8And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things. … 9He went on to tell the p…[Read more]

Hi KW,

Do you rely on the words and approval of men to find truth?

Paul could do nothing except by the power and authority given him.

But you do not think that the anointed Jesus needed that? Acts 10. 38f

Hi GB,

So flesh is a veil that divides men from the heavenly realms.

If we follow the Son we too leave flesh behind.

Hi KW,

Power without the authority to use it is illicit power.

He was made Lord and Christ.

Hi KW,

Of course he did not sacrifice himself.

Suicide was not in the plan of God.

What you see as unclear may be due to your blindness.

The appointing of the heir is mentioned in Ps 2 and relates to the Sonship.

Hi KW,

Yes.

Prophetic

Hi,

The temple veil was torn in two.

Jesus entered the holy of holies through the torn veil of his flesh.

Heb 6.19. Heb 10

Why glory in the flesh?

Hi GB,

We need to be born of woman to have an opportunity of salvation.

But flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom.

Hi KW,

The myth that an anointed man was born and that God wants us to celebrate, as the world does, the birthday of an infant King.

Hi Ed,

We know from Lk 23. 46,mt 27 50 and Jn 19.30 that Jeus died and gave up his spirit.

Do you think the Spirit of Christ left him?

No the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable Rom 11.29

God does not His Spirit from His faithful children.

Agian we see in 1 Peter 3.18 that after his death he was alive in the Spirit.

Hi Ed,

Do you not think Jesus existed as man but was just a spirit being born into a flesh body?

Hi Ed,

Indeed God is the Father of Spirits.

How does that support your idea that all men preexist?

Hi Ed,

“when as yet there was none of them”

Prophecy

Hi Ed,

“!when as yet there was none of them”

Prophecy

Hi Ed,

Jesus taught that his followers would also receive the Spirit of truth from the Father.

So the Spirit they first received was the Spirit of Christ.

Why do you get confused with prophecy?

Hi Ed,

Jesus did not preexists.

Are you sure everyone else did?

Hi KW,

Yes Jn 1.33 tells us that John also was a witness to the event you deny.

Hi KW,

Yes the Christmas myth has been popular forever it seems.

“When he began his ministry Jesus himself was about 30 years old”

This is just after the Jordan

Hi GB,

You seem to have a flesh hang up.

You want to glorify it.

Flesh contributes nothing.

Hi GB,

What verses are you relying on for this statement?

The Spirit is one. 1 Cor 12 7-13
