Nothing needs to be done. We already ARE acceptable to God.
No, I’m afraid it means much more than that.
Good! I’m glad I do, because that’s precisely my stance. And it’s not a lie. What IS a lie is that God will not or cannot heal humanity into the wholeness that is our birthright.
Love trumps everything. It’s the sort of false narrative of division, such as I read from you that is so contrary to deep, Christian wisdom.
LOl ! Here we have one who in one fell swoop rejects the Jewish sacrificial system as pointing forward to Christś ultimate sacrifice, who rejects the Apostles, who rejects the words of Christ, and the finest theological minds that have ever existed.
Then you just believe as you choose. There is a heretic in our conversation, but he isn´ me.
Want proof? Read your Bible. Read the Desert Fathers. Read Teilhard de Chardin. Read Irenaeus. Read Pelagius. Read Meister Eckhart.
Except that Christ’s ultimate sacrifice isn’t to appease a bloodthirsty God. This is where Xy takes a radical turn from Temple Judaism.
Sad. Just sad.
That’s Trinitarisnism.
That’s exactly what the doctrine of the Trinity says: Jesus is not the Father.
Judgement comes at the end. Once one is justified, declared positionally innocent of sin, sanctification begins, that is the actual empowering of one through the Spirit to begin battling sin in ones life.
the only ''dangerous'' thing Satan does is bringing temptation. if we fall in the temptation, we do evil, not Satan. we are responsible for our own actions because we are the ones who take the ultimate decisions. satan is an angel of God and he is not evil. he is temptation. temptation leads to evil only if humans decide to fall for it.
A ridiculous post. Telling someone to go read is NOT providing proof.
THE LORD JESUS Christ is not God because the Bible explicitly teaches that the Father alone is the true God and the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of the One True God.
THE FATHER IS THE ONE TRUE GOD
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself clearly said that the Father is the only true God:
“Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You…
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” (John 17:1, 3, NKJV)
Even Apostle Paul also explicitly said that the Father alone is the rue God:
“Yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.” (I Corinthians 8:6, NKJV)
GOD IS THE FATHER OF JESUS CHRIST
The apostles explicitly wrote that the true God is the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.” (II Corinthians 1:3 NKJV)
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3 NKJV
“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:2 NKJV)
“To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you.” (Colossians 1:2-3 NKJV)
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” (I Peter 1:3 NKJV)
This is what the apostles taught and wrote because this is what they heard from the Lord Jesus Christ Himself:
“Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.'” (John 20:17 NKJV)
JESUS IS THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD
The Bible did not only clearly stated that the Father alone is the one true God, but also explicitly pronounced that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God:
“Simon Peter answered and said, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’” (Matthew 16:16 NKJV)
The Bible also explicitly tells us that the Son of God is a man:
“So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, ‘Truly this Man was the Son of God!’” (Mark 15:39 NKJV)
As the Son of God, Jesus Himself tells us that His Father is greater than Him:
“You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away and coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28 NKJV)
The One True God Himself proclaimed that Jesus is His Son:
“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’” (Matthew 3:16-17 NKJV)
However, God Himself also proclaimed that his Son, the Son of God, is a man:
“I still did not know that he was the one, but God, who sent me to baptize with water, had said to me, ‘You will see the Spirit come down and stay on a man; he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ ‘I have seen it,’ said John, ‘and I tell you that he is the Son of God.’ The next day John was standing there again with two of his disciples, when he saw Jesus walking by. ‘There is the Lamb of God!’ he said.” (John 1:33-36 TEV)
God Himself said to John the Baptist, “You will see the Spirit come down and stay on A MAN; he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.” John the Baptist testified that the One referred to by God in His words saying “the Spirit come down and stay on A MAN; he is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit” was the “Son of God,” the Lord Jesus.
CONCLUSION
Thus, the Lord Jesus Christ is not God because His Father is the only true God. Hence, when we say that Jesus is not God, we only mean that the Lord Jesus Christ is not the Father (the One True God), but the Son of the One True God.
I hope everyone will forgive me for my weakness in misunderstanding
We know Satan is doing much more dangerous things than fig tree
I think Jesus does not have the power to stop devil
Because stopping devil is divine and not human
This is beyond the power of Jesus, and this is a sign that He is not God
I want to send a message to everyone that all the holy personalities on the planet could not stop evil
Just come to act as her representative and then disappear from existence
the question
Does this mean that the fig is more evil than devil
I love Jesus and Christians very much
I wanted to be inspired by a beautiful dialogue in a way that is affectionate and compassionate
with respect and love
I disagree.
Certainly your right.
It depends how many of them you eat.
I love believers, too. I just hate the belief.
with respect and love
You said it: "Jesus is not the Father." That's what the doctrine says, too. Yet you disagree with the Trinity.That's it????
