1 | Have I misunderstood your question? | John 6:56 | Morant61 | 4800 | ||
Thanks for your response! I'm not sure if I understood your original question correctly. I was under the impression that you were questioning the Trinity by implying that Jesus and the Father were both one in the flesh, rather than distinct members of the Godhead. After reading your most recent response, I still get that impression, but I'm not sure. Could you clarify for me what you were getting at with your original question? For now, allow me to respond as though my assumption is correct. There is nothing in this passage that is contrary to the doctrine of the Trinity. In fact, the passage supports the doctrine of the Trinity. Notice how all Three Members of the Trinity are mentioned in this passage. 1) John 10:12 - Jesus says that He will go to the Father. 2) John 10:13 - Jesus will respond to our prayers that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 3) John 10:16 - Jesus prays to the Father for Another Comforter (The Holy Spirit). Clearly, we have three Members of the Godhead mentioned in this passage. One (Jesus) is incarnate on earth, praying to another (the Father), that He will send another (the Holy Spirit) to dwell in believers after Jesus ascends back to the Father. If I have misunderstood your position, please let me know! God Bless, Tim Moran |

You seem to have the right idea. 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vaindeceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world,and not after Christ. 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: You see the fulness of the Godhead, (seat of authority) was in Christ, (anionted) the man Christ Jesus. We have an omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient God. The development of the trinity doctrine can be traced in church history, no matter how much you try to divide or limit God scripture is clear, there is one God and he is Spirit. |

Hi sharp, I'll ask you what I have asked others in the forum. Can I get you to capitalize the man Christ Jesus? When you get to heaven and see your God is he going to be a man? | ||||||

Hi Ray Sorry God is not a man, God was manifested in the flesh. When the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law. Gal.4:4 We will see the glorified body.Get this scripture picture. I Jn 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 Tim 6:14-16 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. Your's in Christ (sharp) |

6 | Have I misunderstood your question? | John 6:56 | sharp | 4869 | ||
The bible sayes that God is not a man that he should repent. The rich ruler that came to Jesus and asked what more he need to do to get eternal life called Jesus good, Jesus told him there was none good but God. Why, because in this instance the man had his focus on the humanity and not on the diety of Christ. see note on Heb.4:15 Mon. 5/7/01 3:44 sharp |
