1 | WAS JESUS GOD ON EARTH TOO OR JUSTMAN | Ps 8:5 | popdzl | 39036 | ||
Hank and Lionstrong (and anyone else for this matter), I am not implying or even inferring that God slept ever at anytime; I said He rested. In the note to which I was replying, the author said that Jesus was so much of a man that He was so tired that He slept through a raging storm. I am merely saying that He was resting [the scripture says He was asleep] as it was not time for Him to move. I have yet to come across any scripture which says Jesus slept because He was tired, ate because He was hungry, or drank because He was thirsty. I truly believe that He was not even sleep on the boat; He more than likely was meditating and the disciples perceived Him to be sleep because "He was on a pillow" (and probably with his eyes closed). Likewise, I believe that He overcame the NEEDS of the flesh when He overcame the temptations of Satan. As you may recall, Satan appealed to His hunger (turn the stones to bread and eat), to His eyes (all that You see will be Yours), and to His pride (jump and the angels will catch You lest You should dash Your foot upon a stone). In each instance, Jesus rebuked him with the Word. Every little thing Jesus did had a purpose behind it for He is "about His Father's business." | ||||||
2 | WAS JESUS GOD ON EARTH TOO OR JUSTMAN | Ps 8:5 | Hank | 39047 | ||
If you have not come across a Scripture that says that Jesus had physical needs, such as hunger and thirst, read what Jesus said on the cross, in John 19:28. There is no evidence in Scripture that Jesus' physical body was immune to physical needs. --Hank | ||||||

Thank you Hank for the scripture. I read it, and I also researched the word which was translated "asleep" in the scripture. I shall first write on the translation; as for the scripture, I will expound on that in another part of the forum. In the Greek, the word katheudo means to "lie down to rest"; by implication it means to "fall asleep". Therefore, someone translating from Greek to other languages could (and appearantly has) translate the word as asleep by implication of Him having a pillow. I, however, prefer to use "lie down to rest". Whereas you and someone else pointed out that God does not sleep. I concede, maybe He was not meditating, but my point is that He was not so much of a man that He was so tired that He was sleeping through the storm. As for John 19:28, look for my response under that particular verse in this forum (if you are still actively using the forum.) |
