1 | Isn't believing Christ for salvation suf | John 3:3 | Ken hepting | 91093 | ||
"Sure. Now, you tell me what you believe the young Jesus meant by it." The "young Jesus" was the "young Jesus". I'm not Him, neither are you...John, I believe it's John. Having made those distinctions we must remember that Jesus already possessed - the- divine nature. He knew what His earthly ministry was to accomplish. i.e., "for this reason was I born". We, on this side of the cross also possess that nature by virtue of the new birth. In that new birth experience SHOULD come the knowledge of the Father's business regarding our relationship to Him and His will for our life. My ambition must be to be about my Father's business....So should yours. His will for our lives is for us to become a son unto Him....just like Jesus, the boy. Jesus accomplished His task by protecting His divine nature to become the new Son of God. We accomplish our task by overcoming our old 'self' nature with the new one God gives us because of Jesus Christ that we become "Son's of God", no longer "boy's", but joint heirs with Christ to rule reign with Him.. You do know what a joint heir is I hope? Make sense? |

No Ken it does not. By the new birth we recieved a spiritual nature, not a divine nature. We are not little gods! John |

"By the new birth we recieved a spiritual nature, not a divine nature. We are not little gods!" Little god's we aren't but you are grossly wrong when you say we didn't receive a divine nature. If you say, as you do, a spiritual nature, then I ask who's spirit and was it not divine? Me think's you need to re-visit that in your thinking. Is there one I don't know about that the word of God speaks of? Please show me from God's word, then be prepared. |

There is a distinct difference between being indwelt by the Holy Spirit and possessing a divine nature as you call it. Perhaps if you were to explain the term and explain what effect having a "divine nature" has, may help. |

John, I would think Ken is referring to 2 Pet 1:4 "For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust " Emmaus |

There is really nothing difficult about this, Guys. Re-read Jn 15,16 and 17 then 2 Cor.4.11: For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. "If the SAME SPIRIT that raised Christ from the dead dwell IN you, ............" |

Roman's 8.14 "....because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." |
