Bible Question:
IS JESUS AND GOD THE SAME PERSON? IF YES,WHY SHOULD JESUS BE THE MEDIATOR TO REACH GOD? IS A BABY BORN WITH SIN? WHY? HOW DO YOU ERADICATE THE SIN? |
Bible Answer: Jesus and God are no more the same person, than Adam and Eve were. The word "one" in Hebrew means unity. That is why God says Let "Us" create man in "our" image. And for those who beleive that maybe he was talking to the angels when he said this. How do you explain(Isa.44:24 Thus sayeth the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord the maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens "alone"; that spreadeth abroad the "earth" by "myself". Jesus has to be the mediator to reach God because he is God. God is a Spirit, and there is only one Spirit. Jesus is the Word made flesh, the begotton Son of that Spirit. Three of the gospels also record his resurection differently. One Gospel says that the Father raised Christ from the dead, another says that He raised himself from the dead, and yet another says that the Spirit raised him from the dead. How could Jesus hear all of are prayers at the same time if he wasn't that omnipresent Spirit that the highest heavens cannot contain? Mary is not the Spirit of God so she could not fit this bill.(2Cor.5:14-15 "For the Love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again")Christ died for all...even Mary."Yes" a baby is born with sin according to the flesh.(Psalm 58:3 "The wicked are estranged from the womb:they go astray as soon as they are born,speaking lies.")Jer.4:22 says that we are wise to do evil,but to do good we have no knowledge. Mic.7:2 says that the good man has perished out of the earth: there is none upright umong men...Note that the word "men(120)here is "Adam" in Hebrew and means Human being,not gender. We are all born in sin acording to the flesh. The flesh is subject to death. Even Christ took on sinful flesh acording to the seed of David.(Rom.1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh.)How else could Christ be tempted, and get old and die for three days if he wasn't made of this seed? More importantly, How could he have paid our price if he was not of the same flesh. Jesus Christ paid the price and redeemed sinful flesh. Only He could raise it from the dead. And only he was made a quickening Spirit to have the power to do so. Thats why we must put on Christ so that we can say, "I can do all things through Christ who streangthens me." (1Cor.15:21-23 "For since by man came death,by man came also the resurrection of the dead.For as in Adam all die,even so in Christ shall all be made alive.But every man in his own order;Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ at his coming." Christ already eradicated the power of the first death for all men...this is why there can be a resurrection wether it be good or bad. The bible also says that if by faith we accepted Christ; then also by faith are we dead to sin, and we can call death sleep. However this body that we live in is not our own and has been bought with a price. All creation growns earnestly waiting for the redemption of these sinful bodies that we live in. Just as a seed that is sown and produces whatever God wills it. So this ("body is sown a natural body;and it is raised a spiritual body.There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.1Cor.15:44")So untill Death is destroyed which is the last enemy 1Cor.15:26)then sin will still exist on earth. |
