so Icebuddy you are saying that he can became man and god at the same time and/or one at a time ?
What we know is what we are told. The Eternal Word of Life that was with the Father emptied himself to become a "MAN". We sit here and try to explain things, yet no one here can even begin to explain the Virgin Birth. So what I express are my beliefs based upon scripture. I believe the Word was God, emptied himself to become a man, as man he was either without his powers(not sure exatly) and relied 100% upon the Father for all things. Kinda like Superman without his powers, hes still superman just powerless. (again, not sure how exactly)
So when is he a man and when is he a god ? and how do you know even when he is man/god ?
Before he emptied himself he was God and God only. Now that he became a man, he is both. Think of God as a Spirit and Think of man as the Flesh. Then read
Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
I Think of it this way, A lamp without a lamp shade is too bright to look at, yet when you place the lampshade over it, you can see it better. Thats how I see Jesus as Man and God. The Spirit in Jesus is God, the Flesh upon that Spirit is Man. (my Personal Thoughts)
In Phli 2:7(Interlinear bible) seem to say that the body of jesus is just a god incarnate(a shell) {then when you part take the communion bread is meaning to you are eating a empty shell ?} and is not in equality to god.
i see it this way: Jesus added a Flesh Body to his Spirit. To say this Flesh was just a shell with no importance is what I see you getting at. When we eat the "body" at communion, we do this in memory of what Jesus did for us. I believe theres nothing we can Physicaly do to add to our salvation. We Love/Believe in Jesus and that his death cover our sins and we are correct with God. Now sure, maybe Im not following...
which also means when he was god and when he was man is very much questionable and a direct contradiction to trinity which insists that all three are equal at all the times. with this verse Phli 2:7 , trinity cannot stand please explain ?????
I guess that depends on how one views "God". For example, when I read
1Cr 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1Cr 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
I see you saying something simalar. If Jesus was truely God, and became a man for our benifit, then to say he isnt God at any point is odd to me? Again, Superman without his powers is still superman. Lets say you become my slave and I your master, are you any less human? What if I chop off your hands and feet, are you still a human? Now I burn your eyes out and cut off your tounge? At what point do you stop being a human(man)? I see Jesus as a Man as no less God as when he stepped out of heaven to do so. I should think of him as more so, since he did such a great thing for us... Gods word however says the "Fullness" of God was in a body, so to say he was not equaly God to the Father is in error (to me), based upon scripture that says the Fullness was in the body we call Jesus.
The bible the mentioned that the Earth is not moving is fixed and stationary in a position which in direct contradiction to factual earth of our solar system (Ps 93:1 ;96:10 ;104:5 ; I Chr 16:30)
Ps 93:1 ;96:10 ;104:5; I Chr 16:30 - I believe you take liberties on this. The Greek word for "Moved" means Removed, shaken, Dislodged, fall, fall away, carried off. I belive this passage is saying only God can destroy the earth. in other words God is majesty.
In addition ,the sun was moving around the earth instead (Ps 104:19 ;Ec 1:5 ;Jos 10:13)
I see this as no different as the Fox News station forcasts the Sun Rise and Sun Set of the day. Surely the news caster of today knows the sun doesnt move, right. Its an earthly view of things. I haven read them all, but the one I read said "Under the Sun". It is key to know this, because when we read "Under the Sun", that is the Old Testament way of telling us its from an earthly mans perspective. For example, Under the sun, when a man dies his thoughts perish (Although we believe we are with Jesus at death) or "Under the sun" everything is meaningless and more along those lines...
disc-like flat earth (Is 40:22) please explain
Is 40:22 says "Circle" of the earth. i see no problem here... The Greek word is chuwg and can describe a ball...
abyss,
i hope i have given you my understanding of what you have asked. As i read the Bible there are many things people overlook. For example, The universe use to be thought of as always existing and some people in the science community use to tease us Creationist with the fact that the Bible says "In the beginning God created the heavens and earth". (Meaning a starting point for the universe) Now Science believes the Universe sprang out of nothing, yet cannot point to God and must explain things in a natural way. hence, the Big Bang Theory and others...
in Love,
Tom
