Your response here...3rdAngel said: ↑ Sorry Soapy but I do not believe you. The scripture posted above your post in post # 2231 linked disagree with your teaching and there is nothing you have posted here that disagrees with the scriptures already shared with you. The scriptures you posted are simply greetings from God our father and Lord Jesus Christ. They do not say Jesus is not God. The scriptures teach that God the father and Jesus are one (see John 10:30). You may also want to consider the context of the scriptures you post above from Colossians 1 and 2 about Jesus that you have left out provided below for your help....
- Colossians 1:16 16 FOR BY HIM (Jesus) ALL THINGS WERE CREATED, LIN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER THRONES OR DOMINIONS OR RULERS OR AUTHORITIES. ALL THINGS WERE CREATED THROUGH HIM AND FOR HIM.
Once again you lose Soapy. Receive Gods correction and be blessed. Ignoring Gods Word does not make them disappear.
- Colossians 2:9 “FOR IN CHRIST ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE DEITY LIVES IN BODILY FORM."
Goodness Soapy, you were provided scripture context to what you said earlier stating Jesus is the Creator and God further to the scriptures already stating word for word that Jesus is God and creator in post 2231 linked and elsewhere in this thread. Why try and explain away what the scriptures actually say word for word rather than simply believing what Gods Word says? Why ignore scripture showing that Jesus is the God of creation and the oneness of Christ with the father and the Holy Spirit as shown in post 2231 linked and elsewhere in this thread that you refuse to discuss that are in disagreement with you? We are better off just believing what the scriptures says word for word rather then pretending they are not saying what they say and calling scripture, not coherent. It seems your argument is with God not me. It seems to be the problem with your understanding of the scriptures is that you do not understand how God can become a man, to save us from our sins yet still be God in bodily form or understand how God can be plural of one mind which is what the scriptures teach.The verse you quote here is not coherent. God the creator (Father) created all things FOR THE SON.
Jesus is the Son for which creation was made for which is why he inherits it AT THE END OF TIME after he has EARNED the right to be its ruler.
You forgot to say that it was at the pleasure of the creator - the Father - that Jesus was ‘filled with the fullness of deity’.
This occurred at Jesus’ baptism wherein GOD POURED OUT HIS SPIRIT on him just as God prophesied in Isaiah 42:1:
And again, here:
- “Behold my SERVANT whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations.”
And even here:
- “This is my son in whom I am well pleased!”
- “For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in him,”
And why is Jesus given the title ‘Christ’? What does it mean to be ‘Christ’?
- “You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached—how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.“ (Acts 10:37-38)
What does ‘Anointed’ mean… what does it mean to be ‘Anointed’? And further, Jesus’ anointed Kent is a SPIRITUAL anointment - not one with earthly fluid but with the FULL fluid Spirit of God alighting upon him like a light breeze as of a dove —- and again, at Pentecost where the apostles where anointed with the PARTIAL amounts of the spirit of God appearing as tongues of fire and high wind?
———————————-
So are you saying that ‘God the Father’ and ‘the Lord Jesus Christ’ are not two separate persons?
Even here where those who know God, and know Jesus, never call Jesus ‘God’?
Take Care.
