My understanding is that Christ is GOD and not man, though Christ can dwell in man.Please tell me what is your understanding of the meaning of Christ? God or man?
Jesus was the complete fullness of God living and dying as a human being.
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
UM....well, I do understand that Jesus was conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit, that Jesus was anointed for His roles under the law (prophet, priest, and king). That the entire fullness of God dwelled in the man Jesus Christ.
When Jesus ascended, the Holy Spirit was sent to indwell the believers.
Well, I'm going to go to heaven, but I'm not from there.
Not wholly of God....but wholly God. Jesus was ALSO wholly man. Not half God and half man.
I put that text in spoiler because I didn't see that it addressed what we are talking about here.
I appreciate your apology, but I really don't need, nor do I want, you to forgive me. If you're angry at me for what I've said in the past, then you shouldn't be.
Of course, we can move forward, but I would appreciate your supporting what you say by at least one verse per statement. I can see the context, myself, if we discuss it further. The verses you quote tells me a lot about where you come up with these ideas.
Now, take a deep breath, please, before you respond.
I know you believe that the man Jesus was literally the utter fullness of the One eternal Creator GOD of all existence, and that you use that single verse for verification of your belief, but I understand that verse within context to refer to the capacity to which man can have the Spirit of GOD in them while in the flesh. I don't get how one can think that the utter fullness of GOD was contained within a single man when it is written that none had ever seen GOD. man is said to be unable to even observe the full countenance of GOD, let alone contain it.
The Holy Spirit was in others as Jesus was alive in the flesh. The Holy Spirit was active in the lives of the faithful before and after Jesus.
I'm sorry but if a thing is 100%GOD and 100% man then they would be 200% being. Not to mention all knowing which the man Jesus was not.
The in context verses I posted had to do with the spirit of GOD/ Holy Spirit/ and spirit of Christ to all be the same. Perhaps you should go back over it with an opened mind.
I'm not angry with you and don't forgive you because you need or want it, but because it is the good thing to do in the sight of our Lord.
Come up with...... There is no division of the Spirit of GOD. when I was literally given faith by the mercy of GOD no division or man was shown.
I actually didn't start reading the Bible until some time after I had recieved faith.
Why would GOD sacrifice GOD as a payment to GOD?
