Does the Apostle Paul claim that Jesus Christ, the holy anointed man, is Almighty God?

[101G]

No, that is one possible meaning. It does not mean that EVERYTHING that is said to be Echad is composed of 2 or more SEPARATE elements.



We can see by the number of different translations that Deut 6:4 is not straight forward.



We do need to walk by the correct translations of scripture.
What is 101G?
What is GINOLJC?
Yes maybe it is me and my eyes.



Do you mean that Jesus is the arm of God which became a man?
Is that analogy literal? Has the arm got a separate consciousness that speaks to the head with prayer for example? or is the arm just a puppet?



My understanding is that Jesus remained in the same form of God when He became a man. In the man was the Word and the Father and the Holy Spirit but it was only the Word who became a man and died for our sins.



I think I get what you are saying but cannot see it as anything but an interesting theory to try to explain your position and which does not succeed and is built on invented word plays which in reality mean nothing.
I don't think "with the last" has anything to do with Jesus being the "last".
I don't think that "with" indicates the same person.
I do think Jesus prayed to His Father.



It is about as simple as the Trinity, but is not the Trinity.



John 17:4 I have glorified You on earth by accomplishing the work You gave Me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world existed. 6I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.…

Sounds more trinity to me than what you believe. The Son was with the Father. 2 of them together enjoying each other's company. God has been a God of interpersonal love from eternity.



So because of your belief you assume that the voice was not the Father, despite what the voice said.
No you don't assume that, you KNOW that.
How do you know that? and why do you think God was out to confuse us like that?
Personally since the voice said "This is my son in whom I am well pleased" I would say that is as good as saying that the voice was that of the Father.

Brian2, go back and start over.

now how 101G know that it was not the Father's voice? READ, God is not the ONLY ONE who speak from Heaven, :Listen and Learn. in the study of hermeneutics, there is an application called NEAR and FAR. and here at the Lord Jesus baptism is a good example of this. in Genesis 22:1 "And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am." Genesis 22:2 "And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of."

now at the mountain, Genesis 22:6 "And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together." Genesis 22:7 "And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" Genesis 22:8 "And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together." Genesis 22:9 "And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood." Genesis 22:10 "And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son." Genesis 22:11 "And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I." Genesis 22:12 "And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.".

STOP, hold the press. question time. who called out of heaven unto Abraham? answer, the angel of the LORD, not God himself, but the angel spoke on God behalf. because the angel said, "seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me." question, "who did Abraham not withhold his son from? the angel who was speaking out HEAVEN, or God?" answer, God, but who was speaking from HEAVEN? the angel.

see, never ASSUME unless you're told. ASSUMPTION will put the spiritual NOOSE around your neck.

now the verse at the Lord Jesus baptism said "A VOICE" from heaven, it did not say, the Father's voice, see you ADDED that. and as said, every time someone ADD to the word of God, they get caught, like U here. in a ERROR. never ADD to the Word of God, nor ASSUME something is true unless told that it is.

this is a classic example of how lies get started, by assumptions. And additions to the Word of God. and when one does that, they will get exposed.

Just say what the bible say and one will stand on solid ground, all others are sinking sand.

The Angel of the LORD in the OT is a title for God at times. eg we see in Exodus 3
Exodus 3:1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

Without assuming anything I see that the angel of the Lord is God. I understand this to mean that God sends someone who is God.

Matt 3:16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him,3 and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son,4 with whom I am well pleased.”

In this passage, without assuming an angel spoke from heaven just because angels have spoken from heaven in the past, I can see who spoke from heaven because He said. "This is my beloved Son".
I thus know that the one who spoke from heaven is the Father of Jesus.

I'm not even sure why modalism needs the Father to not speak from heaven. But if it does, it does.

 

[Soapy]

GINOLJC, to all.
First thanks for your reply, second, yes its dose. did you understand the definition of a COMPOUND? Compound: 1. a thing that is composed of two or more separate elements; God is not separate, nor divided.

let 101G school you in the TRUTH so that you may KNOW.

understand, God who is the ECHAD of HINSELF is the EQUAL "SHARE" of his OWNSELF in an ordinal designation of First and Last, or respectively "Father", and "Son". let prove this out by the Scriptures,

Philippians 2:6 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"

the term, "FORM" of God, is Spirit, (John 4:24a). and it's the Greek word,
G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee') n.
1. form.
2. (intrinsically) fundamental nature.
[perhaps from the base of G3313 (through the idea of adjustment of parts)]
KJV: form
Root(s): G3313
See also: G3445, G3446, G4832

now the million dollar and two cent question, is this, "WHAT KIND OF NATURE THAT MAKE HIM "EQUAL WITH" GOD?". Notice "EQUAL WITH" and not "EQUAL TO"., hold that thought,

the Root of this word, (form), gives us the answer to his, the Lord Jesus, NATURE, and this root word is,
G3313 μέρος meros (me'-ros) n.
1. a portion (i.e. an amount allotted, a part of something).

ANOTHER WORD FOR, "PORTION" IS "SHARE". there is our answer. not a separate person, but the same one person "EQUALLY SHARED", and in this case, G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō') in flesh as a man.

this is why your compound unity is in ERROR. understand, in Philippians 2:6b, it states, "to be equal with God:", and not EQUAL TO GOD. for if he, the Lord Jesus was equal "TO" God that would INDICATE a separate ;person. but by the verse stating, "equal "WITH" God, that indicate the same person., for no one is EQUAL "TO" God. listen and Learn, Isaiah 40:25 "To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One." ME, and I are single person designation. one more to get a double witness. . Isaiah 46:5 "To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?". again ME is a single person. ok, one more, Isaiah 40:18 "To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?". the term God is used and the verse, and it said "him", so God is a SINGLE PERSON. but in the ECHAD he is the EQUAL share of his OWN-SELF, (ANOTHER just as G243 ALLOS STATES). notice, Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he."

The LORD/GOD is the First, and he is "WITH" the Last, and notice, "I AM, I AM once more, I AM ... HE".
I, and HE again are single person designation. Just like in John 1:1 the Word/Son, is "WITH" God/the Father in the beginning. see the "WITH" in John 1:1, as well as in Philippians 2:6, "EQUAL WITH" God. is the SAME one person.

now the revelation of "WITH" in the ECHAD of God. Listen, Isaiah 48:12 "Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last." ALSO? yes, the SAME one Person. see, "WITH" in the Godhead is the same one person "EQUALLY SHARED". that's why the Greek term, G243 Allos, (as mentioned before), express the Hebrew ECHAD as a NUMERICAL Difference of Ordinal First and Ordinal Last, and not a compound Unity. listen, Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:" and the term ONE here,
H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') adj.
1. (properly) united, i.e. one.
2. (as an ordinal) first.
[a numeral from H258]
KJV: a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, (dai-)ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
Root(s): H258

definition #1 is where you get your compound unity, but that's an ERROR, as we have proved by the Scriptures, that a unity consists of two or more which the scriptures clearly states that "GOD" is a single person. only definition #2. is the correct answer, because God is a ECHAD "WITH", his OWN-SELF as Ordinal First/FATHER, CREATOR, and MAKER of ALL THINGS. and Ordinal Last/SON,, REDEEMER, and SAVIOUR of all that he CREATED and MADE in the Beginning.

so, the compound unity is an ERROR.

the correct understanding of God is that he's the EQUAL SHARE of HIMSELF in Fesh. one can take this to the bank.

we suggest you copy this and study it for your edification. may the GOD of all CREATION give you understanding.

101G.

Do not say, ‘The word / Son is with God’.

To do would be to create a false identity which, if propagated, becomes a hardened ‘Fact’ in the same way Trinitarians add to the scriptures and then claim the addition as a fact.

There is not even one single reference to ‘the word’ being anything other than what it says: ‘the word of God’… which is the utterance of God which was IN THE BEGINNING : “Let there be light!” (c.f. Genesis 1)

Genesis states: “In the beginning GOD CREATED …”
It is GOD who says, “Let there be light!”. Those ARE the WORD OF GOD.

Notice that though the term is ‘word’ singular, it actually takes on a PLURAL MEANING: wordS of God. It is like saying, “I will certainly send a saviour to reconcile the world back to me”. There are many words in that ‘Statement’, but yet it can, and is said, “My word will not return to me until it has accomplished that which I spoke it out to do”

You see, ‘My word’… singular .. yet there were many WORDS in ‘my word’ …

Context, context, context. Why? There are those who WILL SAY that God’s WORDS are not THE WORD that created all things.

But ignorance is no defence against truth.

There’s a big difference between TEMPTING and TESTING….

God TEMPTS no one … but he does TEST them.

‘Angel of God’ means a messenger (more often a Spirit angel) who is empowered to act with the power of God. In other words, it/he bears more authority IN GOD’s name than other angels … Complete speculation but it could have been ‘Gabriel’: ref:

• ‘I am Gabriel who stands in the presence of God’.

Michael is a WAR ANGEL.. the military commander of the army of God… which doesn’t apply to the angel of God (YHWH’s angel).

So you are saying that when, say, a child is TESTED in an exam, they are being TEMPTED?

A clay article is ‘TESTED’ in the fire…. You say that the article is being ‘TEMPTED’!!

God did not TEMPT Abram. The translators chose to use the word ‘Tempted’ in ignorance since they didn’t expect anyone to question their choice of word. God only TESTED Abram to see if Abram would do as God commanded him. That is not a temptation - it is a TEST!

God created the heaven and earth in six days and rested on the seventh. If God was resting for the first 6000 years of modern humans; from the fall from paradise to the present, then others would have been put in charge, given authority to act on God's behalf. They would be called the Lord to the puny humans. The Old Tesrtament was about the Law, which is the same as the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The Ten Commandments help one know good from evil, which was Satan's tree and which was not condoned by God. Someone else was in charge as God rested. It adds up to Satan.

The analogy is the Chairman of the Board has a higher position, than the CEO, whom he and the Board of Directors, hired to run the Company. The CEO is dong all the work in the field, and he is free to make all the choices. This is what he was hired for. However, he is still under the basic guidelines set by the Board; profit. The CEO gets the big bonus if he does a good job. He and everyone else benefits if the company stock goes up. Satan was the Lord of the Old and New Testaments, with the New Testament an off year for Satan as Law was about to be superseded by faith; Jesus. Revelations has Satan fired and booted from heaven and the the sacrificial Lamb of God; Jesus, groomed to take over as the CEO, as God finished his rest.

This explanation works under the assumption that the seventh day of rest, lasted through Revelations. There is no where in the Bible that firmly defines how long did God rest. Most assume he took a nap. I inferred the duration based on the scope and magnitude of creation described in the Bible. After the 6th day, to the present, nothing is of the magnitude of the first six days, until Revelations. Then we once again start to see God caliber things happen, again; New Heaven and Earth. I am sorry if I found an historical flaw that has deceived man; Lord of the Earth is not God but his CEO with powers. This changes all the Atheist arguments against God and is consistent with the confusion pointed out by the Atheists. Everyone helped.
