I’m glad that you only say that that is what you believe. This leaves room for the truth that you are wrong.
God never leaves his ethereal ‘throne’ in Heaven:
- “But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation” (Psalm 102:12)
To leave his throne would mean the throne is abandoned - it never is. God issues commands, orders, directives, to his holy angels - and they do his Will.
Those who do the Will of God are SONS OF GOD:
- “… your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)
- “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.” (Romans 8:14)
You are saying that almighty God is a messenger….? A messenger to/for whom?
God is not three beings - at least you got part of that right. As for ‘separate’, nah! That’s thrashing! But then again, I never ever said any such thing or implied three or separate three beings. It is you trying to wheedle your way out of your trinity farcical ideology. I said that God is a single being… Single does not include three anything’s!
What ‘Killing Children’ are you referring to?
But, moreover, God does not regard humanity as humanity regards itself. We cannot see sin, as God regards sin, in others. Sin is a cancer.
I’m not sure where you brought the aspect of ‘killing children’ from but in answer: If a tribe or nation or simple group of entities is SO RIDDLED with a CANCER such that generation after generation will manifest that cancer, then it must be destroyed - yes, even the innocent ones in whom the cancer is manifest. Think of this: if there is cancer in the flesh or bone of the body, do you allow the cancer to remain for the sake of the flesh or bone of the body? Or do you destroy the flesh or bone that contains the cancer?
I’m guessing you know enough to say, ‘destroy’. Well, God sees those cancerous nations as a cancer that will effect other tribes and nations if allowed to manifest itself in those tribes and nations. Remember that God punished a king for not destroying everything of what that tribe the king ruled over. Do we also not kill (cull…!) animals infected with pestilence (Bird flu, mad cow desease, …!) Why? Are you playing the ‘It’s a Child Card’ on me!?
You are stressing the discussion because you cannot find against what has been said to you. I explained everything to you but you feign ignorance! Why?
But just to answer you AGAIN: As Jesus was growing up and becoming an adult of note (30 years old), he had not FACED ANY ADVERSITY or UNRIGHTEOUSNESS of note… he was not ‘IN THE WORLD [of adversity and unrighteousness].
As he knew the time to face the WORLD was at hand, he stood up in the synagogue and found the place that pointed to his ‘Coming INTO the World’:
- “He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read,…” (Luke 4:16)
Note that until now, Jesus was just a Jewish man doing what Jewish men do in the synagogue. He had not been singled out in any way nor pointed at negatively.
- “… and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
- “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
- “Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him…”
- “He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”
- “All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” they asked.(Luke 4:17-22)
Here in the verse above, the scriptures shows Jesus pointing at HIS time. Jesus opens up TO THE WORLD that HE WAS ABOUT TO COME INTO THE WORLD. Note the last verse quoted: ‘All spoke well of him’
but soon they would speak ill of him (read through to verse 49!).
So, ask yourself, what inflicted this change in Jesus? Was it not AFTER he had been baptised with the Spirit of God…. THAT was when GOD SENT HIM… and his FIRST ADVERSARY and UNRIGHTEOUS was faced in his weekly synagogue of his own home town!
Now do you understand?
