1 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | flinkywood | 96070 | ||
Humanity? Okay, but God did suffer and die on the cross; it's stated repeatedly in the NT (1 Cor 15:3,4 for ex.). That's how He defeated death: 1Co 15:57 "but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Think about what God has done for us: that though He's infinitely powerful, He's also so infinitely humble that He seems never to ask anything of us that He hasn't already asked of Himself. What a beautiful God this is. Colin |

2 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | GeneZ | 96087 | ||
God never suffers. He already knows the beginning to the end. Nothing takes him by surprise, and he is always living as the perfect answer to all our suffering. He is now able to identify with our suffering through the humanity of Christ. That is one reason why mankind needs a mediator between man and God, the humanity of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ can identify with our weakness. "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. " (Hebrews 4:15) God (Deity of Christ) has no weakness. Deity did not, and could not, suffer on the Cross. God is, and always was, being perfect happiness and joy. For God NEVER changes. Jesus (humanity) suffered in our place, not his Deity. Deity is always being the joy that was set before Christ(humanity) as Jesus bore our sins. "...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hebrews 12:2) I realize that for some this may be hard to accept at first. For others, it will not be. It is something we are to learn and know about God. He NEVER changes. He now has a policy to express human emotions as a means to communicate with us. For we understand God's policy this way. These expressions are called "anthropopathisms". That means God is attributing to himself traits that he himself does not possess which are used as a means to communicate certain things to finite creatures such as ourselves. God NEVER changes. God is always infinite love and happiness. God is never angry. He never is frustrated. He always sees us as being with him in Eternity as we will be, not as we are now. For what we are now in these bodies is seen by God as being dead and nailed to the cross with Christ. "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." (Galatians 2:20) Grace and peace, Gene |

Hi Gene and welcome to the forum, that theology sounds very familiar to me, do the initials R.B.T.Jr. or the colonel, mean anything to you? Just curious, CDBJ |

4 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | GeneZ | 96195 | ||
RBT is very familiar to me. Yes. He spurred on my thinking in that area. Yet, my response was from my own reasoning on the subject. Grace and peace, Gene |

5 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | CDBJ | 96245 | ||
I concur and have been a taper for about 26 years now! About the only thing that I don’t see eye to eye on with him is his eschatology. CDBJ |

6 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | GeneZ | 96259 | ||
He makes one think and consider about areas no one else that I have found ventures into. Likewise, I do not always agree 100 percent with all he teaches, and neither does he. He had changed a few points of his own over the years. Yet, I have changed some of my views over the years as well. We are all learning together. As you well know his ministry has been a great blessing to those led into the sound of his voice. I am glad I am one of them. Grace and peace, Gene |

7 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | CDBJ | 96277 | ||
I have heard that he has slowed down to a few days a week and that his son Bobby is filling in for him on the other days! He has been a great PT and I lost count when I said it was 26 years, my wife has informed me that it has been over 33 years now. CDBJ | ||||||
8 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | GeneZ | 96280 | ||
I started sometime in 1981 after having graduated from an independent Bible college. He needs to slow down now. Most people his age are barely getting along living in assisted living facilities. To keep going as long as he has is amazing. Especially, since he taught typically more content in one week than what most pastors can teach in half a year. A walking tribute to grace in action. A crash course in Bible doctrine that seemed would never end. But, it really hasn't. There is yet more on tape that I have not heard than I have. Grace and peace, Gene |

He always said the he would die in the pulpit rather quit teaching since that is his life! Every time we had a chance for face to face we would go even if it meant a couple hundred-mile trip, it was worth it. I really get a kick out of watching him write Hebrew backwards! Absent from the body face to face with the Lord, CDBJ |

At one time I used to drive from Massachusetts to DC to hear him teach. Then, when I moved to Georgia, he used to teach just south of Atlanta. Its been an honor. And, its been a blessing. He does not teach you to simply repeat what he teaches, he teaches in a way that gives you the freedom to have your own ideas as well. To even disagree. As long as your disagreement is objective he had no problem with it. Right now I am primarily studying Revelation. Fascinating to see what is there when exegeted. Grace and peace, Gene |
