Jesus' sacrifice for you.

I was there, spiritually. When Jesus lived, I lived in him. When Jesus died, I died with him. When Jesus was resurrected, I was Resurrected in Him. Spiritually, I am now dead and my life is hid with Christ in God, Colossians 3:3.

Wonder why you aren't in the news sir; must be the best kept secret in history. What a privilege to speak to the oldest man alive. What year were you born Robert?

Be slow to read and slower to understand as what Robert Pate said is completely right. Notice he said Spiritually, not actually there in human form.

All of us were on His mind as Jesus gave the ultimate love sacrifice for the atonement of sin like a unblemished Lamb led to the slaughter.

Isa 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Isa 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Isa 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isa 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isa 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Isa 53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Isa 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Isa 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

I knew what he meant maam, hence my reply to expose what is not a Bible teaching. Truth is one can be spiritually alive, which means literally they have an accepted relationship with God who is a spirit being. It is just a term however, and virtually everyone believes they have a spiritual relationship with God and are saved, but the Bible teaches quite the opposite.

A few Christians are actually spirit anointed which is also a Bible teaching, but they have been personally selected by God, anointed for a particular purpose. They will serve as Kings and Priests under King Jesus in the coming Kingdom of God, and will reside in heaven with Jesus. One of the titles they bear is actually the bride of Christ.

Not to argue, but it is clear you did not know what he meant by your reply #3 to his reply #2.

It is very Biblical that all of us were spiritually on the mind of Christ, even before we were born, when He was on the cross as He died so all who will believe in Him will have eternal life with Him, Psalms 139:13-16; John 3:16; Romans 8:29; Ephesians 1:3-5; Ephesians 2:1-10; Galatians 1:15

Jesus before the foundation of the world, 1Peter 1:20, came into the world as teacher and redeemer sacrificing His life for all in whomever will believe in Him. So, yes, we have all been spiritually with Him, even before we were formed in the womb.

BTW, all who are Christ own are His Bride that He will return for. 1 Corinthians 12:13

I do believe that God knows us before we are born, and the scriptures do indicate such, but I am unsure if Jesus does. Some things are definitely shielded from him, a prime, perhaps the only example is found at Mk 13:32 sir. No doubt if Jesus thought about us before we are born he would be concerned about our spiritual welfare for sure.

I do agree that when Jesus returns, he will be returning for the remainder of his bride Mat 24:22; 1 Thes 4:17

I'm a she not a he, LOL. Just thought I would let you know.

Anyway, since Jesus was before the foundation of the world being God's plan for our salvation, then in a sense we all were on His mind that day when He took all our sins upon Himself and then gave up the Ghost. It's not that he knew each one of us individually, but those as being one's who needed a Savior.

Hope that makes it a little clearer.

Thanks much for bringing that to my attention, I sincerely apologize and should have seen it right off as you have it posted in your information.

Yes maam I understand your thoughts on it, although it shouldn't have been on his mind until God said Gen 3:15.

Maybe I should define this a little better saying we sinners where on His mind before the foundation of the world as He is God's plan of salvation given to all who will believe and have faith in Him. John 3:16

God does know the finale from the beginning, and He has given us a glimpse of what the future will be, but of course Jn 3:16 did not become necessary until the sin of Adam. I guess I would just like to think He chose not to know that Adam and Eve were going to sin, and that a third of His angels would become enemies to Him as well.

Not really a good subject to contemplate is it maam?

But yet, Jesus was before the foundation of the world as God's plan of salvation. 1 Peter 1:13-25.

I understand your take on it maam, and I do not disagree that God knew that Adam and Eve were going to sin as I have stated. I further agree that with that He knew how He was going to redeem us. But of course that is not the reason why Jesus was created.

OK, we are good with that. But, Jesus was never created, but has always been as Alpha and Omega. No beginning, no end. John 1:1-18

Do you believe the faithful and true witness of Rev 3:14 is referring to Jesus Maam?

 

[for_his_glory]

Do you believe the faithful and true witness of Rev 3:14 is referring to Jesus Maam?

That verse is speaking about the angel sent to the Church in Laodicea as the angels were God's first creation. Take a look at Rev 1:8, do you believe this is speaking about Jesus?

Do you not believe in the Trinity/Deity of Christ Jesus?

 

[Highway54]

Isn't that referring to God

That verse is speaking about the angel sent to the Church in Laodicea as the angels were God's first creation. Take a look at Rev 1:8, do you believe this is speaking about Jesus?

Do you not believe in the Trinity/Deity of Christ Jesus?

That verse is speaking about the angel sent to the Church in Laodicea as the angels were God's first creation.

The verse says: Re 3:14 And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:

Sometimes it helps to break down the verse. Rev 1:1 identified the book of Revelation as being from God, given to Jesus, presented to John through an angel, correct?
keeping that in mind, we can see that through this channel John was instructed to write this to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea, correct? The Amen, the faithful and true witness, was not that angel right? So who was this being that was the beginning of the creation of God maam?

Take a look at Rev 1:8, do you believe this is speaking about Jesus?

No I believe it is speaking about God maam. Some translations have chosen to remove God from that verse but most retain it showing no doubt it was referring to God.

Do you not believe in the Trinity/Deity of Christ Jesus?

I believe Jesus to be a perfect spirit creature who was called god in the Bible. satan as well had that designation. Do I believe he is the Almighty God of Rev 1:8? No. I believe his God is. Who did Jesus say his God is maam?
