True it was.
He gained nothing except to be restored to what He did have before...
Restored?
the glory He shared with the Father before creation.
The Glory doesnt change Brakelite!
You minimise the love of God by suggesting there was self interest.
You diminish his reliance on faith and take away that which pleased his Father?
“Without faith it is impossible to please God”
“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. ”
2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV
Correct "in" Christ
Did you miss this?
Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making
His plea through us. 2 Co 5:20.
You understand?
Unfeigned Bible
There was nothing Christ received as a result of His sacrifice that didn't include mankind.
Consider the facts:
Nothing Christ recieved you say?
He inherited:
- All things
- A name
- A position at the right hand of the Father on high
- A Kingdom
- A Throne of his father David
- A Peoples
The further we go into this discussion is revealing, for it shows how far away you are from truth. Denying the existence of fallen angels
Absolutely Brakelite!
Those who possess the Divine Nature of God cannot sin!
Sin requires flesh and blood and the potential for a double mind - Divine Nature does not have a double mind else your reward is what? To sin eternally? You havn't thoought this through...
To mean false accuser! often a person, but here is spoken of as
sins power and the devil is said to be be destroyed!
Hebrews 2:14 (ESV) says:
"Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil."
denying the prime purpose of Calvary was for the redemption of man...
Ah nice twist Brakelite, and you know I've never said that! Christ sacrifice was not the prime reason for his death!
Romans 3:21 (ESV) says:
"But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it."
I've shown you many times why Jesus was sacrificed and still you know nothing?
Jesus manifested the righeousness of God
FIRST!...before anything else...
claiming the sacrifice of Christ was founded on self interest...
No, again you fail to understand!
Christ benefited from his own death as a result of his selfless sacrifice! If you are not able to understand this you ought to read your Bible more until you do.
In affect what you are saying to me is Christ did not
want to be saved from death which is a stupid unlearned thing to say - no doubt one you will regret!
Hebrews 5:7 (ESV) says:
"In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence."
denying the Divinity of Christ...
If you mean Divinity in body - no! in, Mind, absoultely!!!!!
denying Christ's true Sonship to His Father.
His Sonship was not predicated on him preexisting Brakelite...His Sonship was predicated on him being raised from the dead by the blood of the new covenant in his blood!
You are in a deep mess. The further we go, the further you expose your apostasy.
We can see who is in a mess Brakelite and its not me.
I'll give you time to correct your error!
