1 | Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man | John 9:24 | kalos | 55132 | ||
Ray: My sincere thanks to you for your reply. With all respect, I would like to point out regarding my previous post and your reply: The issue here is neither Bible translations nor capitalization. The issue is that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. Also, we do not need "to make Him Deity." We cannot make Him Deity, neither by capitalization nor by any other means. We cannot make Him Deity, because He already *is* Deity. Grace to you, kalos |

Hi Kalos, If He is already Deity, and I agree that He is, then we do not have to make Him Deity. However, I see the need to make him Deity. Why do we have to think of Christ as a man like Adam rather than the perfect Man like the second Adam? Give glory to God. This Man is not a sinner. From the heart, Ray |

Hello Ray "Why do we have to think of Christ as a man like Adam...?" To help the offspring of Abraham, he became like man in all things, sin apart. Hebrews 2:14,17-18 (ESV) Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,...[17] Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. [18] For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Steve |

Hi Steve, I do not deny that Jesus came in the likeness of men. He,as I think Reformer Joe pointed out, got tired, thirsty, and died as a man dies, being filled with blood and water. My desire to capitalize Man does not take that away; I simply want Him to be recognized as God in the flesh. I recommend again the reading of the NASB and the NKJ and any other version, if there are any others, that capitalizes Deity. I know of no others. Hebrews 2:14, "Since then the children share in flesh and blood, He (Himself) likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil;..." Christ was obligated to be like His brethren so that He could show us the Father. He explained Him; and He did it as the Son of God. Hebrews 2:17, "Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest (see NKJ) in things pertaining to (God), to make propitiation for the sins of the people." 1 John 2:2, "...and He (Himself) is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world." From the heart, Ray |
