Subject: Is the sin nature a substance or mindset |
Bible Note: This needs to be addressed and refuted because it does injury. #1.[Because we have come out of the divine nature] [This is invalid. We are made in the image and likeness of God, but we do not have a part with the divine nature.] Very valid! Mc Donald didn't say that. What he did say is that we came OUT OF IT. Read it again for the first time then use honesty in your reply. #2.Jesus is the father of their sonship [No, Jesus is the vehicle of our sonship (John 1:12) not the father.] Vehicle, you say!? Where's that in scripture? Chapter and verse, please! He IS the author and finisher of our faith. [at least mine] The everlasting Father of it! Jesus is the pioneer of our becoming a son; Father of it! Right? #3. He was not the Son of God because he could not help it, but because he willed to be in himself the Son that he was in the divine idea. [No. He was always the Son, because that is His eternal position (Isaiah 9:6).] Not as a Man, but known only to God that He would accomplish the task that God could say YES if asked beforehand if Jesus was His Son!! Everything with God is in the present tense and God knew Jesus would succeed! But in actuality it was yet to be accomplished by Him! The Son of God in [Jesus] had to be fulfilled [and was fulfilled in the foreknowledge of God..that's why Father withheld nothing from Him..He trusted Him...He was full of Grace and truth because Father knew He would complete His mission. All the temptations and trials He went through as a man and protecting His sinless nature was by showing His allegiance to the Father! Power at this Point!![ Isaiah 28:6 (NASB-U) .....A strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate. We have temptations as well for the same reasons, i.e., showing our allegiance BUT/AND to overcome the enemy of our soul.. That's our responsibilty as "sons". We have His sinless LIFE plus The POWER of the Holy Spirit within us and upon us [those that are born again and have experienced Pentecost for themselves] to accomplish this; to Become as He was! #4. we must be the sons we are. [We are not sons until receiving Christ (John 1:12).] We are not son's at all at that point but children to be taught.. Learn the Bible before you teach it. John 1:12 (NASB-U) But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, ...And ... For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. ...A learning process to be sure.... For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world. [George McDonald has very bad theology.] Geo.McDonald was one of the mentors of Oswald Chambers and C.S.Lewis... Geo.McDonald knew God. |
