I just went back and read them. There is nothing there to discuss. No one is arguing that Jesus Christ is God...always has been....always will be. No one is arguing He was there in the wilderness. So all that expounding was worth nothing. It ignores the fact that Christ means Messiah - Anointed One.
Believers having the Holy Spirit dwell in them has nothing to do with the Messiah/Christ. We are merely earthen vessels, and the anointing of earthen vessels never made them a Messiah. Men were anointed as Kings, Priests, and Prophets, but they weren't the ANOINTED ONE, the Messiah sent by God.
So, what is your understanding of the word CHRIST? Why was Jesus called the Messiah?
This is what I posted and steko ignored:
All these scriptures I am going to post are about the same time in the desert. They are scriptures from different books, but they are all about the same time in the desert.
Read this scripture, it says we should not test CHRIST:
1 Corinthians 10:9 We should not test Christ, as some of them did--and were killed by snakes.
Did you read that? Jesus is Christ, agree? That scripture shows us that Christ was in the desert with Moses.
Now read this scripture:
Exodus 17:2
Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water that we may drink." And Moses said to them, "Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?"
Did you read that?
MOSES says why you test the LORD.
Test who?
Christ.
Test who?
The LORD.
Now read this scripture:
Psalm 106:14
But craved intensely in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.
Did you read that?
Test who in the desert?
TESTED GOD.
Read this scripture:
Psalm 95:9
"When your fathers tested Me, They tried Me, though they had seen My work.
Tested who?
Tested Me.
Who is Me?
Me is God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son.
So then, we can see that Christ is the LORD God the Father.
Christ means God/Lord/Spirit.
That is who God is; He is God, Lord, Spirit.
That is who Jesus is; He is God, Lord, Spirit.
There is only one God and He is the Father.
Jesus is that one and same God the Father come in the flesh as a Man.
Jesus is the Christ, the Lord God and Father.
