Subject: Jesus and God the Father not the same? |
Bible Note: In the Old Testament God made his habitation the temple. That is where you could find God, but only the priests could commune with him. God decided to change things so He created Himself flesh or a body for Him to dwell in. That body was called Jesus. The reason why God needed to create His own flesh and not use someone else was because He wanted to rule us human-beings. Being God was a Spirit that gave Him the ability to control the Spiritual Realm just like in order to be President of the U.S.A you have to first be a citizen. Back when Adam and Eve sinned God's direct control over humanty was lost and in order to regain that possition He must first overcome the flesh. He lived, resisted temptation, did miracles, died, and resurected and in doing all of that He regained His control over us. Now the Holy Ghost(Spirit) is a piece of God that He gives as a gift to dwell in us so that we can be part of the Spirit realm. "That which is spirit is spirit and that which is flesh is flesh." When we partake of His Spirit we become part of Him forming the body of Christ. And through His Spirit we are given the power over the angels and demons, over principalities and powers and rulers of wickedness in high places. |
