AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 1:2 has in these last days spoken [with finality] to us in [the person of One who is by His character and nature] His Son [namely Jesus], whom He appointed heir and lawful owner of all things, through whom also He created the universe [that is, the universe as a space-time-matter continuum]. |
Subject: Holy Spirit and the nature of God? |
Bible Note: Hi Hiram Abiff, I appreciate your answer to my question on Heb 2:6. You believe in the God/man as stated here. In your interpretation of Heb 2:6 you stated that some of the reference referred to the Son of *man. You also spoke of Jesus being the Son of *Man. The problem with your beliefs as stated in the paragraph above is the fact that we can only have one father. Jesus especially can only have one Father because of His nature; His father is not the devil as is man's. You can't have a Son of man. In other words, you can not have a historical Jesus of the atheist who thinks of Him as Joseph's son. (Or at best think of Him as the Son of man.) I don't believe you can have a Son of man and a Son of Man. God is God, He is not a god. If a person is thought of highly in scriptures he can be regarded as a son of man but not a Son of man. A man does not father Deity. But when you know Jesus as God (and as Spirit now that He is glorified), then you can know Him as Man; as God in the flesh, and not "just a man". If you know Him as Spirit, and God is Spirit, then you can see Him as the Son of Joseph, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham. Then we can worship Him in spirit and truth. I believe in the God/Man; He/who is called Christ; when that One comes, (He) will declare all things to us. John 4:25 (parenthesis mine) |
