Re: Jesus is God

Luke 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters ... you cannot serve God and wealth." The primary teaching of Jesus here is obvious: Some were calling God their master and yet Jesus was pointing out that, in reality, money was their master. Jesus said basically, "You can't have two masters - you will ...

Re: Jesus is God

At least you're consistent, but I believe wrong. The One who brings about the 2nd coming is the same One who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords - who we know has to be Jesus, since He is the only one in the scripture identified as the Word of God - and the Word o...

Re: Jesus is God

1 Timothy 6:14-16 " ... until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He (Jesus) will bring about at the proper time ..." So Paul is clearly saying that Jesus does know NOW when His 2nd coming will be, even though He didn't know that when He was on earth. But continuing the verses: " - He who...

Re: Jesus is God

Darin, You wrote: Besides if it's pre-existence and he was God, then it seems ridiculous to mention him being in the form of who he was. He would have just said "although he existed as God". Philippians 2:6-7 NASB 6. who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a th...

Re: Jesus is God

Dwight -That's exactly what I said is NOT clear. There was no need for the Father to reveal anything to Him through the Spirit. The Father was abiding IN HIM. "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own iniative, but the...

Re: Jesus is God

How is it possible that Jesus knows whats going on in heaven when a sinner repents? He didn't say, "Thus says the Lord", so it wasn't a prophetic word or a word of knowledge by the Holy Spirit. In fact, He never says "Thus says the Lord", because He IS the LORD. In verse 10, He says again: "Likewis...

Re: Jesus is God

Darin, Doesn't this plainly inform us that His humbling himself occur prior to His incarnation? I do not see how it can be understood otherwise: 5.Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6. who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thin...

Re: Jesus is God

Philippians 2:1-11 New American Standard Bible 1995 1. Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2. make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, uni...

Re: Jesus is God

On balance, I lean away from any unique separate pre-existence apart from the Holy Spirit - recognizing if the Holy Spirit fully indwells Jesus, then there's some sense in which it can be said to be "his" Spirit and so talking about such things becomes difficult. The way "most people" think of pre-e...

Re: Jesus is God

Darin, Do you believe in the preexistence of Jesus? I am unsure, perhaps a memory problem. That's a difficult question. It's normally couched in terms not of the pre-existence of Jesus, but pre-existence of the Son (or even Christ). There is a lot of nuance between those three. I do not believe in ...
