1 | Jesus in the flesh | Matt 1:23 | Noveta | 132850 | ||
I have a question, regarding the following scripture: 1 John 1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. What is meant by Jesus coming in the flesh. Does it mean, Jesus in human form? Many religions, teachers, leaders, people believe this but they have different views as to what he came as and what he left as. |

2 | Jesus in the flesh | Matt 1:23 | Mommapbs | 132851 | ||
Greetings Noveta - yes, it means what is says, God came in human form. The Divinity of Jesus Christ is the issue here. Jesus tells us "I and the Father ae One' John 10:30. He also declared, "Before Abraham was born, I AM." John 8:58. Other religions do not deny that that Jesus existed. But only Biblical Christianity tells the TRUTH of who He IS, not was but IS. We love and serve a LIVING Savior! So, all those "religions" that claim Jesus was a good man or a prophet or a son of God, deny that He is who HE says He IS - GOD. From your profile you stated "There is not much else to my life" May God show you that there is MUCH to your life with Him. Jesus said,"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." John 10:10 This means right here and NOW, not when you die! I suspect you've been "robbed" for too long! I urge you to "Delight yourself in the Lord!" (Ps 37:4) Blessings, mommapbs |

3 | Jesus in the flesh..what does this mean | Matt 1:23 | Noveta | 132855 | ||
What other scriptures can I use to explain what in the flesh means. Because I know someone very personally that says he believes Jesus came in human form. To him, this is what is meant by coming in the flesh, nothing more. He says to say it means "God came in human form". Is adding to the scripture. He just doesn't believe that Jesus is he God. He says he is the Son of God. And they point to scriptures that say believe Jesus is the son of God and you are saved. He says this should be good enough. He says Jesus did not make a point to mention he was God, so why force the point. Please help. God bless Noveta |

Noveta - See Phil 2:5-11. God did indeed come in human form! Should we believe what other people say about God or what God says about Himself? Jesus DID make a point to declare His Divinity so yes, we should stand firm in and for the TRUTH. See Mt 16:13-16 Jesus asks, "Who do people say that I am?" And then He goes on to ask, "But who do you say that I am?" We read that God gave Peter understanding to answer this question correctly. So likewise He gives us the knowledge of who HE is! God's Word reveals and by the Spirit we understand. Those without the Spirit do not understand. "But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised." 1 Cor 2:14 Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The Scriptures I gave to you speak for themselves . . . if the individual reads these words and choses not to believe what they say to him, then there is nothing more to do but to pray that God will open his ears and eyes to hear and see the TRUTH of who God is - Jesus. With prayer for you and yours, mommapbs |

5 | Jesus in the flesh..what does this mean | Matt 1:23 | Dacajunwolf | 132959 | ||
(NASB)John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (CEV) John 1:14 The Word became a human being and lived here with us. The WORD was GOD...the WORD became human (NASB)John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. (CEV) John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is truly God and is closest to the Father, has shown us what God is like. (CEV) Philippians 2:6 Christ was truly God. But he did not try to remain equal with God. 7 He gave up everything and became a slave, when he became like one of us. |
