John 10:27 & 28; My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. In verse 29, Christ then said something about God. let's see what he said. 29. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all ; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. And then in verse 30 he cleared the doubts of the Pharisee and some on us here. Here's what He said. 30. I and my father are one. After he said that the Pharisees picked up stones to stone him. They clearly understand what he meant. They even said it in verse 33. "we're not stoning you for any of these.. but for blasphemy. And they went ahead to say what the blasphemy was in the same verse 33. "because you a mere man, claim to be God. If Jesus wasn't God, he would have rebuked them and explained what he meant but he said in verse 38... that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am I the Father. |
From what I've noticed, the problem is not that we have problem with English language. The problem is that, it is English language that have problem with us. Follow me. col 1:15; Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature Look into your mirror. What do you see? Your image I guess. The above verse tells us that Christ is the image of the invisible God. Now you're still looking at your image in the mirror, try performing any action like raising your hands, turning your back etc. How does your image react? It does exactly the same action you carried out right? That's what the Bible is trying to explain but we've all too understand English that we can't comprehend simply English. Anything that Go do is what Christ does. He is the image of God. God is invisible Christ is the image of this invisible Divine Being. Doesn't that tells you that Christ is God. The next verse will explain things clearer. Heb 1:3; The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Here it says Christ is the exact representation of His being (exactly as God both in character and power) carrying all His (God's) glory (power) If we remember clearly, the Bible says God will never share his glory with anybody. But here it says Christ carries God's glory. How is that possible if Christ isn't God. The most powerful verse I can show to support my claim is; 1 Tim 3:16; And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Christ is God manifested in the flesh... seen of angels. For the first time since their creation angels saw this invisible God when Christ was born. They've only felt his presence and seen his glory. They've never seen Him in person. That's why there were great multitude of angels to behold His birth in the manger . They came to witness the presence of God and they rejoiced greatly.. The angels, who beheld this amazing scene of God manifest in the flesh, were the first publishers to man the most important event they've ever witnessed. |
Perfectbeing:And to you op, It's never too late to accept Christ and believe in him. He wants you saved that's why he died for you in the first place. So brother put down that pride or ego or whatever you're trying to sell and accept Christ. Your life actually depends on it. Bless you.. |
spartan117:I'd rather you do an indepth study of the word concerning what the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is and stop spreading this false message of eternal doom. God will forgive you of any sin or sins. The sin of unbelief is the sin against the Holy Spirit (the sin of blasphemy) that Jesus talked about. The only way one can be beyond repentance is when he/she dies an unbeliever. that is, he or she dies without believing in the redemptive power of the blood of Jesus Christ. When someone believes and is born again he receives the seal of the Holy Spirit. Anyone without that seal is not a believer and is in danger of hell cos he blaspheme against the Holy spirit. Bless you |
geoworldedu:You know even after all this trash you're typing Jesus still loves you right? I pray the Lord gives you insight |
Originakalokalo:Brother, the whole world was doomed but Christ stilled died for it any way. You're to lead this lost brother to Christ not preach to him the message of doom.. They're no sin too big that the blood of Jesus Christ cannot save a person from. Show this our dear brother the love of Christ and not condemn him to eternal doom cos Christ did not condemn you. |
