Subject: why do we have to call Jesus -Lord Jesus |
Bible Note: Thank you, I appreciate the Spirit of what you are saying. Please allow me to fine tune the expression without disagreeing with your intention. Everything that Jesus said was not scripture. Everything He said and did is the Word of God as proven by your texts John 1:1-3 and 1:14. Everything He says and does (past present and future) are holy, however not everything was written and therefore are not scriptures or writings. John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written. In fact Jesus Christ is the living Word. The son Of God has always been The Word; however Jesus (the son of man) was not the Word of God until He was conceived in the womb. The Word of God became flesh. Luke 1:31 "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. Luke 1:35 The angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God. Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." Matt 1:25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus. That happened at a point in time. The Word of God, The Son of God became Jesus. Until God told Mary to name the child Jesus for He will save His people from their sins His name was not Jesus. There is no record of God being referred to as Jesus before this. God does however exist outside of time and space for time and space are created by Him. As you have stated John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. This can be difficult because He existed as the lamb of God before the earth was made and Jesus is the Lamb of God. It is my belief (not stated as fact) that all of time begins and ends at the crucifixion of Christ. Time has a beginning. Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth So it is my belief that although Crucifixion of Christ happened at a certain point in time it also exists outside of time and therefore was before the beginning . More specifically everything Jesus said that was recorded became scripture. Jesus Christ is the Word of God. The scriptures are the canonized writings, the written word of God, our Bible. I do not deny the deity of Jesus Christ. Or the fact that the Son Of God Is eternal He was a high priest after the order of Melchizedek Heb 6:20 where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. I am simply referring to Jesus as the son of man rather than the Son of God. The point is that Jesus quoted the scriptures. The ancient Hebrew writings in which as you have pointed out did not have book chapter and verse. That was my point. Jesus quoted scripture all of the time and could not quote the address for there was none. I will for the sake of those who desire quote the address from now on. |
