1 | Jesus has two nature but yet he is one. | John 4:24 | mark d seyler | 163732 | ||
Hi ItsMe, Colossians 2:9 says "For in him (Jesus) the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily," This was written after Jesus' resurrection and ascention. Deut. 4:24 says the LORD is a consuming fire. In Exodus 33:20. God tells Moses "Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live." Job lays ahold of this truth in his desire to be right with God, recognizing that "there is no mediator between us, who might lay his hand on both of us." (9:33) Jesus, as both God and Man, can do that. As man, He has the right of redemption, because our Redeemer has to be a near kinsman, and as God, He has the ability to redeem us, because the redeemer has to be able to afford the price. We do not always understand how these things can be, but we recognize that this is what the Bible teaches. And so we walk in the truth, and in this, God blesses us, and gives us greater understanding. There are things we probibly will not understand so long as we live in this world. It is enough to believe what the Bible says. Most things, I think, we will understand. Once again, I reduced myself to rambling! :-) I hope at least some of this has helped! Love in Christ, Mark |

I enjoyed the rambling. And the Col. 2:9 verse is good. I don't understand how the others relate. Doesn't it say in Exodus that Moses and a bunch of others, ok, I'm looking this one up... Exodus 24:9-10Then Moeses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself." I think there are other verses where humans saw God. I do wonder if we aren't experiencing a different belief here. I checked several translations of the Col. verse, with Strong's, and I basically get that in Jesus, the total of God lived in a human form. Also, after the cross, Jesus was flesh and bones, no blood. He gave up His blood at the cross for our sins. So, was He not, more than human at that point? In body, yes, but not the same as ours? His servant... |
