1 | Holy Spirit and the nature of God? | Heb 1:2 | Hiram Abiff | 7990 | ||
Hi Ray, I have not seen your question on Heb 2:6.I will look for it and answer if I can. I believe Christ was God / man while on earth and I believe He is in heaven now. My confusion lies in whether He is the full Godhead or an equal member of a triune Godhead. But to restate my question. If I believe in the wrong concept of God's nature (meaning the make-up of the Godhead) can I really have salvation? Many atheist and other non-believers believe in a historical Jesus, but deny His nature as God (or part of God) and therefore cannot receive salvation until they accept the nature of Jesus. John 3:15 does not refer to accepting a historical Jesus, but a divine Jesus. Using the same logic, if I don’t understand the true nature, am I saved any more than the atheist who does not understand is? |

2 | Holy Spirit and the nature of God? | Heb 1:2 | Ray | 8001 | ||
Hi Hiram Abiff, I appreciate your answer to my question on Heb 2:6. You believe in the God/man as stated here. In your interpretation of Heb 2:6 you stated that some of the reference referred to the Son of *man. You also spoke of Jesus being the Son of *Man. The problem with your beliefs as stated in the paragraph above is the fact that we can only have one father. Jesus especially can only have one Father because of His nature; His father is not the devil as is man's. You can't have a Son of man. In other words, you can not have a historical Jesus of the atheist who thinks of Him as Joseph's son. (Or at best think of Him as the Son of man.) I don't believe you can have a Son of man and a Son of Man. God is God, He is not a god. If a person is thought of highly in scriptures he can be regarded as a son of man but not a Son of man. A man does not father Deity. But when you know Jesus as God (and as Spirit now that He is glorified), then you can know Him as Man; as God in the flesh, and not "just a man". If you know Him as Spirit, and God is Spirit, then you can see Him as the Son of Joseph, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham. Then we can worship Him in spirit and truth. I believe in the God/Man; He/who is called Christ; when that One comes, (He) will declare all things to us. John 4:25 (parenthesis mine) |
