This is why most believe that Jesus is a Man/Son and not God.

I won't continue this conversation until Johann reconsiders his above question.

1 + 1 doesn't equal 3 Johann. You're making assumptions all over the place with no Biblical support.
On the contrary, you are resorting to circular reasoning and do not believe what stands written in scriptures.
I have give you ample scriptural evidence re the conception/incarnation/virgin birth/of our Lord and great God Christ Jesus...and you are reflecting and now we are on the Triune Godhead which is also scriptural.

Topic jumping, not reading the content barrage all for His glory, not ours.

INCARNA'TION, n. The act of clothing with flesh.
1. The act of assuming flesh, or of taking a human body and the nature of man; as the incarnation of the Son of God.
2. In surgery, the process of healing wounds and filling the part with new flesh.
Webster.

You deny this, then you deny the plain scriptures, calling God a liar, not so?
And since we are getting older and death comes for us all, we are going to give an account of the amount of light we have received as recorded in Scripture, Perfect Tense, in words, thought and deeds and our eternal destination is at stake here.

Hold on - so you don't believe Jesus learned wisdom?

Of course he did. When He made Himself nothing, became a servant and took on a human body He had to rely on Gods Spirit just as we have to.

52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

Yes Johann I know the theological definition its the Scripture you are missing.

I am still concerned about your question that Christ did not need strengthening.

Johann is saying he did not need strengthening...I am waiting for him to correct himself. Luke 22:43; Hebrews 12:1-3 (WHO set the joy before him????) Isaiah 50:4

Hold on - so you don't believe Jesus learned wisdom? Just need to clarify that error and give you time to recant it.
And to strengthen my position...

This is what you quoted, out of context..

Jesus was “Strengthened with might, by his spirit in the inner man” Ephesians 3:16...Can you see your error?

...instead of....

And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and men.
The one here that needs to recant is you friend, not me.

The truth is you don't know who God or Christ are...if you're not dumping copy and paste content, you are quoting dictionaries.

The problem is you trinitarian doctrines blind you from the truth.

It's not for me to deny but for you to prove that virgin birth = incarnation. As I have said many times if Luke 1:31 is all you have then you have nothing.
You are denying the miraculous conception of Christ Jesus!

I can probably agree with that. We receive a down payment of the Spirit. But He received the Spirit without measure. Another verse says You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;

Beyond your companions is to say, more than.

The problem is you trinitarian doctrines blind you from the truth.
1Pe 3:15 but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
1Pe 3:16 having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.
1Pe 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
1Pe 3:18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in the spirit;

I have answered you, but now you are making me out to be a liar in your desperate attempt to deny the core doctrines found in scripture.
The scriptures posted is for someone to learn, if not for you, then someone else might benefit since there is a famine of the word of the Lord where I am.

Shalom to you and family.
End of dialogue.

Johann says no!

Johann is trying to counteract a false teaching, that Jesus was not God. He began to slip into the opposite ditch but scripture caught him and he didn’t. That’s cause for joy and praise not cause for berating. And it’s difficult to always keep before you both sets of scripture.

By the way, I cannot adhere to the doctrine of trinity either. I do not see it.

Absolutely, but to say Jesus' inner man was not strengthened, is to say the old man of the flesh triumphed over the new man. The whole basis of Christ praying was to be strengthened by his Father and is the very reason Ephesians 3:16 can be written is due to Christ overcoming. Boy Johann makes a mockery of Hebrews 5:7.

Johann is trying to counteract a false teaching, that Jesus was not God. He began to slip into the opposite ditch but scripture caught him and he didn’t. That’s cause for joy and praise not cause for berating. And it’s difficult to always keep before you both sets of scripture.

By the way, I cannot adhere to the doctrine of trinity either. I do not see it.

I am holding his feet to the fire in the hope he will correct his view. I have given him plenty of opportunity to do so. This is an example of why the trinity is so dangerous. Jesus must be God therefore he did not need his inner man strengthened.
