1 | Do I detect the spirit of antichrist? | Matt 1:23 | Mommapbs | 132928 | ||
Survivor, do YOU mean to imply that Jesus, the only begotten God (John 1:18) is not who He says He is - God? Jesus is not a spirit. He has revealed the Father to us in Himself. Do I detect the spirit of antichrist here? | ||||||
2 | Do I detect the spirit of antichrist? | Matt 1:23 | survivor | 132931 | ||
Jesus said at John 4:24: "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." You say "Jesus is not a spirit." Do I detect the spirit of antichrist? |

survivor, Jesus Christ as the God-Man ( 1 Tim. 2:5) is both fully God and fully man! Note what he says in Luke 24: 36-40: "36 While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” 37 But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit. 38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 “See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet."

One must be careful not to diminish trinity text by reading more into verses than can be established. The cited passage shows that Jesus was not only man (for he walked through walls) and not fully spirit (for he ate, drank and had some kind of flesh). Could the account of the angels entertained by Abraham have any bearing on understanding the above? These were spirits that donned human flesh and ate, drank, etc. |

survivor, I'm not sure what prompts you to suggest that I'd be "diminish trinity text by reading more into verses than can be established"? I assure you that's not my intent. He has put all things in subjection under His feet ( Heb. 2:8), so I'm not sure what you're hinting at? Maybe you'd care to answer how "These were spirits that donned human flesh and ate, drank, etc." has a bearing?- unless you intended it as a purely rhetorical question.

6 | Do I detect the spirit of antichrist? | Matt 1:23 | survivor | 132948 | ||
Not rhetorical. Whenever I see two or more similar facts or sets or circumstances in Scripture, I attempt to see if truth can be discerned by comparing similarities and differences. No doubt, you do something comparable. If you don't see any thing worth discussing in these two passages, that's fine. I'm here like many lovers of the Bible to see what I can learn from others and share questions, comments and truths that I have with them. No offense, but I must say: You seem a bit paranoid. |

Survivor, No offense taken. However, in my experience and time on this Forum, I've seen more than my fair-share of aberrant, heretical, and cultic theology. That makes me a little hesistant to embrace certain statements that are made without clearly understanding one's foundation, i.e. where you're coming from! This Forum has certain guidelines that many try and either ignore or circumvent. I'd call it experience:-) That leads me to ask a direct question of you my friend. You seem to be (possibly) affiliated with the Watchtower organization. Might you be a JW? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
