Jesus Is God: Part 1

[leroy]

Jesus was tempted like all of us, but never fell to the temptations for Jesus was without sin.

Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.


1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1Pe 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1Pe 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

Hello again,
I believe Jesus had a fallen nature but that does not mean he was a sinner. why do I say that? He was born of the seed of David according to the flesh. Therefore he had the same nature as David.
After deceiving our first parents, Satan's claim the world as his own because he had brought humanity under his power and claimed that none could escape his grasp.
The Seed of the woman, the Son of God, bound Jesus' human nature to His divine nature in a marriage where the two became one and he was kept from falling. 2 Peter 1:4
In so doing God demonstrated that Satan's claim was false.
"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy," Jude 24
If God can make this promise, don't you suppose He is willing to keep it.
"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed [Seed of the woman] remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." 1 John 3:9
Blind people by nature will trip over things and fall, but does that mean that falling is a requirement? Is it possible to avoid falling?
If they have someone with them constantly, one who is able to keep them from falling, then they are not a faller. They are without fall.
So also was Jesus.

1 John 5:11 "And this the record that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son." If we who are human can have the Son living in us, providing us with His eternal life, and able to keep us from falling. Is it reasonable then for us to believe that Jesus could have the Son living in him and keep him from falling?
The One who loves us has made made a way to redeem us. It is by us accepting and submitting to His Son who is incarnate in our humanity.

Tks for sharing your thoughts- Here is the Puritan board where " Fool for Christ" gives same understanding as EJ's Revelation and that amazing post just shared and others that have done research on it.

Around 7 years ago I'm sure I posted this on some Christian Forum. I'd have to find my old name..
Even Googling back then I only found 1 actual study and 1 Revelation.

It's ok if one does not agree but Now just sharing info for those who want to look further into it.

"As far as the issue with the Holy Ghost translation, our Lord did say, "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come unto you." (Jn 14:18) What do we call a man who dies and comes back to life as a spirit? A ghost. But the spirit of Jesus Christ is a Holy Ghost, not a meddling ghost, always. The Spirit of life in Christ (Rom 8:2) is the Holy Ghost. When we come to Christ in faith, the Godhead takes up abode within us, by His spirit, and we become a holy temple of the Spirit of Christ. This does not deny the Trinity doctrine, it confirms it."

By Fool for Christ

I believe enough resources, scriptures, studies have been presented to at least open the mind to seeing that the KJV and other older versions use Holyghost for Particular reason and there is a difference in the terms.

As a limited example, my Grand daughter says PA instead of PAPA for a reason.
One refers to her Father most days, and the other refers to her Father on the Day He gets paid..lol

While I am not a king James only Reader, In my opinion it has shown differences and has made me rethink certain Ideals. One of my Favorites is in Galatians: either 2:16, or 3:16

"The faith of Jesus" instead of "faith in Jesus",
This Translation also may open eyes for those who seek truth and understanding.

interpretation really can change with a translation of a particulatmr verse. So I pray that God shines more light in cases like these. May the Lord have a blessing to those who seek a better understanding of His word. Amen!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

You didn't address anything just continue to state the same message. The Spirit Jesus sent, HE received from the Father. The Spirit of the living God is in me in Jesus's name. As is written of those in the faith your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
