What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

[Michiah-Imla]

"The wages of sin is DEATH".
Are you calling Jesus a sinner?

Are you?

 

[Jack]

Are you?

No! God cannot sin! Jesus is God.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

No! God cannot sin! Jesus is God.

God cannot be tempted like us:

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:14-15)

There’s a two-fer for you.

Keep note of the scriptures I quote sir.

 

[Blue Dragonfly's]

Its not about "reading scripture"....anyone can do that....its about understanding scripture as it relates to the entirety of God's word.
It does not contradict itself. The scriptures I shared with you are undeniable and plainly written.....and yet because it fights with your indoctrination, you choose to deny it and ignore it.....I can only ask....why?

I know you ask.
And I know why.

Find peace always, in all ways, if it be God's will.

Amen.

I can't get anyone to answer this honest question. All I get back is because the Bible says so. But there must be a reason for it. What is it? Here I will give you a reason why he had to be a man.

Romans says a man (Adam) caused sin to enter into the world, and also that a man would have to redeem it from sin. Romans 5:15 says “For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.” The Bible specifically says that a man must do it. The book of Corinthians makes the same point Romans does when it says “For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead” (1 Corinthians 15:21).

Now it's your turn. Anyone?

Romans 9:5 NIV

Amen! Jesus didn't sin. He is God.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

Amen! Jesus didn't sin. He is God.

I guessed you missed where the scripture said:

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” (Hebrews 4:14-15)

If you're not JW why are you doing the JW TWIST? It's your word VS Thomas and Peter. Guess who I believe.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

If you're not JW why are you doing the JW TWIST?

I have not said that Jesus was Michael the arch Angel, so what’s with the JW accusation?

 

[Jack]

How evasive! I'll take Thomas' and Peter's word over yours any day. Who are you?

 

[Michiah-Imla]

How evasive!

I AM NOT A MEMBER JEHOVAHS WITNESS.

Are we clear?

ARE WE CLEAR?

Who are you?

I’m just a simple believer who accepts what the Bible says.

Then act like it. Believe Peter and Thomas.

 

[Michiah-Imla]

Believe Peter and Thomas.

I do believe them.

So renounce trinitarianism since they didn’t say Jesus was God and didn’t say anything about the Holy Spirit.

 

[Matthias]

Assuming that both parties recognize who they are speaking with, trinitarians are getting along well with non-trinitarians who assert and affirm the deity of Christ, and vice versa. Trinitarianism isn’t the uniting element in that relationship; the deity of Christ is.

Trinitarianism divides them only when it is taken seriously by either party.

Theology is fascinating, but not as fascinating as people.

Study theology. Study people, too.

 

[Peterlag]

Romans 9:5 NIV

It's still not telling me why Jesus had to be God. Romans 9:5 is just saying he is. NIV

 

[Peterlag]

"WatchTower" is an organization dedicated to rewriting our Christian Bible to change the meaning and lead people to the "everlasting fire" that Jesus warned us about.

I know nothing about what they believe.

 

[Matthias]

A person who is begotten, a person who is conceived;
Is a human person, a created person indeed.

This isn’t applicable to Jesus of Nazareth - from some theological perspectives.

Is Jesus of Nazareth mentioned in the composition? No. And that was by design.

Was it accepted as compatible with scripture? No. At least by the only person who responded to it.

Why was it deemed to be incompatible with scripture? Because it was read with an understanding that it was speaking about Jesus of Nazareth.

Was it speaking about human beings in general, or was it speaking about Jesus of Nazareth?

An important contribution - an observation - was later made by another member of the forums:

In Christianity Jesus is not a human person.

Who challenged that observation?

Trinitarians? No.

Non-trinitarians who believe in the deity of Jesus? No.

A Jewish monotheist.

 

[Peterlag]

God's standard is perfection. He is perfect in ALL His ways, a mere man is NOT. Therefore, there could have been no pure, blemish-ness sacrifice if Jesus were only a man or an angel. Only God could come down to us in the form of Jesus (God in flesh) as only He is perfect in all His ways. JMHO

Do you have a verse to go along with that concept?

 

[Jack]

I do believe them.

So renounce trinitarianism since they didn’t say Jesus was God and didn’t say anything about the Holy Spirit.

No Scripture? Of course not! You don't have any.

 

[Peterlag]

You are forgetting that man was made in God's image from the get-go, so the horse and man analogy doesn't apply. My praise and thanks to the Lord for His wisdom, He is so good. :)

Since God is spirit. Then what image was man made in?
