Kobojunkie:The word is the spirit that came down from heaven, that's the reason why john was baptising with water so it can be revealed. John 1:32-33 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ |

Kobojunkie:All these was after he got the holy spirit from heaven. John 1:32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. And the same way the spirit descended, it will also be raised up. John 19:30 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit |

Kobojunkie:Jesus, son of Mary is not the son of man. The son of man is the spirit which god gave to the world, it came from above John 3:31 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth. Only the spirit came from above John 1:32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. The verse you quoted on Deuteronomy was talking about the mosaic laws which has been ALREADY given, heaven means Shamayim that's the sky. |

Kobojunkie:The breathe/spirit(neshema) came from God DIRECTLY. Genesis 2 vs 7. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nose, and the man became a living thing. - The flesh and spirit came from land, and land came from water(Mayim). Genesis 1:9 And God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." That's why you need to be born anew in water and spirit. John 3:5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. |

Kobojunkie:Son of god and son of man is the spirit that descended from Heaven John 3:13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man |

Kobojunkie:Spirit means breath, air or the wind. John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it wants to. You hear it, but you don’t know where it is coming from or where it is going. It is the same with everyone who is born from the Spirit.” When god created man, he breathe into him, the breathe is the spirit. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nose, and the man became a living thing. - Genesis 2 vs 7. Spirit is also called neshema or Rauch or Nepesh in Hebrew Jesus, son of Mary is just a mere man, his father his Joseph. John 6:42 Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'? The holy spirit descended on him after he was born again with water, which john the baptist testified. John 1:32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. |

Religion / JOHN 3:16. by Maynman: 6:43pm On Dec 07, 2023 |
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever has faith [ pistis ] in Him should not perish but have everlasting [ αἰώνιος , aiónios , aeonic ] life. The Gospel of John is unique among the Gospel books. It isn't based on the Book of Mark, which serves as the foundation for the other synoptic gospels (Matthew and Luke). John's Gospel differs in its terminology, details, and notably in its symbolism, as seen from the very beginning in John 1:1, the Logos. Many verses that Christians use to support the divinity of Jesus are found in the Book of John. Let's explore it further; please open to the Book of John and follow along. John 3:16 serves as a fundamental mantra for the average Christian, deeply ingrained in their subconscious. However, many may not fully grasp the verse's true meaning. Understanding the context surrounding John 3:16 is crucial to decipher its significance. In John chapter 3:1-6, a Pharisee leader approached Jesus seeking guidance on entering the kingdom of heaven. Jesus explained the necessity of being born anew through two means: one through water and the other through the Spirit. The man questioned how he could be reborn as he couldn't re-enter the womb. In John 3:6, Jesus responded that flesh gives birth to flesh, while the spirit gives birth to spirit. This subtle insight highlights that anyone born from the WOMB is born of Flesh. The fabricated virgin birth of Jesus is redundant since it still involves birth from the womb, thus of the FLESH. In John 3:16, the son that God begets is the SPIRIT. This is supported by two points: (1)God is a spirit (John 4:24). (2)Spirit begets spirit (John 3:6). Accordingly, the only offspring of God is the SPIRIT, not Jesus, the son of Mary. Flesh can continue to give birth only to what it has always produced. So, How did Jesus, son of Mary end up as the Son of God? The story of John the Baptist and Jesus' baptism is remarkably intriguing and stands as one of the most significant narratives in the Gospels. Surprisingly, even the virgin birth of Jesus, absent in the first Gospel written—Mark—is considered less crucial. However, the tale of John the Baptist appears in all the Gospels. John clarifies that the primary purpose of his baptism was to reveal the SPIRIT, as stated in John 1:31, emphasizing the unveiling of the Spirit to both himself and Israel. Following Jesus' baptism, the SPIRIT of God DESCENDED from HEAVEN and REMAINED upon him. This pivotal moment, detailed in Mark 1:10-11, marks the point at which Jesus became the Son of God. Before this event, Jesus neither possessed the SPIRIT nor held the title of the Son of God. John's baptism brought about two immediate outcomes: as soon as jesus emerged from the water, having been immersed in it, this significant transformation took place: 1) It revealed the bearer of the Spirit to John the Baptist and the nation of Israel (John 1:31). 2)It bestowed the Spirit upon Jesus, thereby making him the Son of God (John 1:32). In Mark 1:12, immediately following the baptism, Jesus was led by the SPIRIT into the wilderness to undergo Testing, Instruction, and Ministering for forty days and nights. The significance of this duration—forty days—is not coincidental but carries specific symbolic meaning in Jewish tradition, representing a period of Testing and Judgment: A) It echoes Israel’s forty years in the Sinai desert after the exodus, a time explicitly referred to in Scripture as a test of the people's faithfulness (Deut 8:2-3). B) It recalls the forty days and nights of rain sent by Yahweh as a form of judgment (Gen 7:4, 12, 17; 8:6). C) Moses spent "forty days and forty nights" on Mount Sinai receiving the legal statutes of the Torah (Exodus 34:28). Returning to the Book of John, after John the Baptist witnessed the SPIRIT descending upon jesus, he testified to this event in the presence of two of his disciples. As a result of John's testimony, these two disciples, Andrew and Judas, began following Jesus (John 1:35-37). These two, Andrew and Judas, with Jesus were the ones who officially initiated the Gospel. Note: Judas was formerly a disciple of John the Baptist, he is also recognized as the one whom Jesus loved. https://www.nairaland.com/7888378/other-disciple-whom-jesus-loved It was only after the SPIRIT descended upon Jesus that his Gospel, his revelation, commenced. This marked the moment when he became the Son of God and began performing signs and miracles. Jesus kick-started his gospel by delivering a message rooted in Isaiah 61, emphasizing the SPIRIT being upon him after his anointing. Jesus, at the age of thirty (as mentioned in Luke 3:23), had been regularly attending the synagogue. However, before his baptism, he had not preached in the synagogue, nor been recognized as a Rabbi, or performed any signs or wonders because he lacked the SPIRIT. Additionally, despite people selling various items in the synagogue, Jesus had been aware but did not take offense at it until after the SPIRIT DESCENDED upon him. It was only after this event, as stated in John 2:16, that he declared he wouldn't allow it, emphasizing the sanctity of the synagogue as his father's house. Note: The Ebionites, one of the original and earliest followers of Jesus movement, became extinct by the 3rd century. Originating in and around Palestine during the first century AD, they rejected Orthodox doctrines such as Jesus' divinity, virgin birth, and substitutionary atonement. With the influence of Roman authority, these Jewish sects were later labeled as heretical. http://www.vexen.co.uk/religion/ebionites.html To briefly summarize the whole article, simply read: John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son....." John 4:24: "God is spirit......" John 3:6: "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." John 1:32: "...... 'I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him'. 1 Like 2 Shares
