Subject: Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? |
Bible Note: Hi Jim, You have said that "we have made Him less" than God the Father. You capitalized Him so you probably are talking of we, His people? Now, how are you meaning the rest of your post? I hear you saying that we are wrongly refusing to let God the Father (one Spirit) become a man. I hear you saying further, that it is imperative that we make Him into a triune whatever. If this is what you're saying I think that you are right on except that the main problem is that people of the world will see Jesus as a man but not as a Man, i.e. God. And that could be a problem of the people of God as well. On reflecting on your wanting to make Him into a triune and not finishing the sentence, I thought of making Jesus into a triune Man. And I thought again of Genesis 1:26,"Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness." I see Genesis 1:27 as the Spirit speaking, "And God created man in His own image..." Let me know how our positions differ. Later, Ray |
