The point isn't what I believe but what does your scripture say. Your scripture, according to the text that quote the biblical Yeshua, no information is given.
We are Talking about Phil 2:6 to be exact. In it it says Jesus was in the "Nature" or "Form" of God. The verses before this says we should have humble ourselves to one another although we are all equally created. So as a man, I am to act like Jesus and humble myself to another man although Im equal to that man. In the same way, Jesus who was God and creator also humbled himself. what are your thoughts on that passage and those around...
This isn't about one's personal belief. I've already explained with the biblical Yeshua said. In your scripture he presents and explains his being and nature and at no time does any suggest he's "God" rather he has a god over him giving him commandments.
What you are not exactly giving full attention to is that Jesus became a man, a Jew, just like all Jews. Jews have a God and Jesus becoming man also has a God. But before becoming a man was God and Creator. So much so that in Hebrews the Father quotes passages of YHWH and says it was Jesus who was being talked about in Psalms 102:25-27. When you read the Psalm, who do you think or say that is...?
I believe, according to your very on scripture, that he "existed". Your scriptures don't leave any room for me to speculation what he was before his god sent him or what he was when, according toy your scripture, he ascended. Both show he was seperate from his god.
John 1:1 says he was God and with God... 1John 1:1-5 says Jesus was the Eternal Word. It is the view of the Christian belief that there is only 1 God and that this 1 God Created by himself and that no one helped him nor is like him... Yet the New Testament writings says Jesus was God and with God and Created everything and is exactly like the Father and is Gods Image. To Say Jesus is separate from God is to focus only upon the 33 years that Jesus emptied himself. You focused on the humbled Jesus. Scriptures says Jesus is not only the offspring of David(man with a god), he is also the Root source of David (Him who holds everything together by his very existence)
Again, I never said he was. You have me confused with someone else.
What is your belief so i can understand...?
Not according to your scripture. The biblical Yeshua says he has a god before being sent, after being sent and after his ascension....
Please show the passages you are talking about. You keep saying "Your Scripture" then assume you know it better than the ones who claim it theirs... The Scriptures says exactly that Jesus was the "Eternal Word" before becoming a man. 1John1:1-4
Not according to your scripture. The biblical Yeshua seems to maintain he has authority granted him by his god on Earth and in heaven. This would mean before his god sent him he had authority given to him and after his god sent him he maintained that authority...which is why the phrase (all authority is given to me in heaven and on Earth) make sense...Also see his prayer to his god (John 17:2) where he utter the same thing...
In that prayer John 17:2 Jesus clearly says there was a state of existence he had before he became a man that he wants to return to. To return to the Glory he had before the world was created and before he emptied himself. John 1:1 and 1John1:1-4 says this was the Eternal Word. You are again focused on a humbled Jesus. Do you agree that "my scripture" says Jesus is in a lowered humble state while a man?
Not according to your very own scripture.....and I just explained to you that he had been given that authority before being sent and before his ascension back to heaven (so your scripture says)
Please post those scriptures. It is our belief that Jesus was God and the Eternal Word (not created) before the word was created. Has All Authority and although he was God, emptied himself to become a man and Die for our sins. After tasting death he was resurrected into the glory. Please post those scriptures you say explain your thoughts...
PS - All the above are my beliefs that I believe to be true.
