Bible Note: Hi Colin, Presumably you desire me to commit myself to a response that defies your definition of Christ's divinity. I hope I'm mistaken. I understand what the divinity of Christ is and unquestionably believe it since the Bible unequivocally teaches it. If indeed your understanding of Christ’s divinity is distorted that’s not my problem now is it? Likewise, if my understanding of Christ’s divinity is distorted, that’s not your problem. 1 Pet 3:8 tells you and me “Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous [person] for unrighteous ones, that he might lead YOU to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit.” Therefore Jesus Christ is now a divine spirit who resides in the heavenly realm and died so as to lead you and me to God. I think that is simple to understand, don’t make it difficult. John 3:16 is one of the most well known verses of the entire Bible and plainly states that God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. This I believe with all my heart mind and soul and hope to God you do too. Tara1 |
