Dear Bon, You are correct that Jesus is the Son of God who took on flesh to be our

Savior through His death and resurrection.

However, He is indeed God who took on flesh. In this incarnation, His divine nature did not change. He took upon Himself the

additional nature of man in order to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins.

Jesus was made flesh and dwelt among men before offering Himself a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world and returning to heaven as the Creator God of the universe.

Christ was definately flesh , just like us , he did however receive the Spirit of God without measure , something that had happened in the past to the prophets of old but not without measure . God cannot be tempted , we read that Christ was tempted just as we are , unlike us , Christ resisted to death . Even on the cross he was tempted as the Jews shouted to him ; if you are the son of God come down from the cross , save yourself . This would have been a temptation to anyone who could actually do that if they chose to ,

considering the physical pain he will have been in .

1john 4.1-6

It a appears that the this problem began back in the Apostles time and is now prevalent today .

The key is that they believe in a spiritual God of their truth , but deny the humanity of Christ in so doing this .

Jesus is the Son of man and Son of God according to all scriptures . We must make it all important to realize that he has flesh and is come in the flesh . And still is .

To make him a special deity is to trump the fact that he comes as a man in the flesh .

God is not a man and does not have flesh . And never will because God never changes . He inhabits eternity. Before the world or heavens existed, and heaven and earth will pass away , but God remains the same as always .

@Put on Christ even though we may not want to - Some people actually do like it.

The spirit of error is being ensnared or under the power of evil even though using all the right words and doing what seems to be right in the eyes of the erroneous one .

This happens primarily by false teachings of others taken the same way . And the alarming thing is these are many not a few . These are dark and spiritual dangerous times . The word of God and prayer can not be underestimated. But they will preserve you from errors .

Rick Mentzer's comment on 2021-01-24 14:45:58:

Mlld Bill I know of people who confessed off the top of their heads Romans 10: 9+10 no change of heart the word heart there is innermost part of your being understanding this God knows the difference. Aiso all sins past at that time are forgiven that doesn't mean the believer won't commit more thats why we have a saviour.

Psalms 83:5

"For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:"

 

Mild Bill's comment on 2021-01-24 10:52:26:

Rick Mentzer, "until", "do it", are such little words, but in your context, they put a condition on the grace of God in saving people. What assurance of salvation is there if we have to "wait and see if I've really trusted". Must a baby wait to ask,"was I really born to be really born?" Born again is a true trust in what God has done for your soul. The lost see choices, the saved see no other, and grow in grace.

"Also something to consider there are sins intentional and ones unintentional" So when you believe Christ has paid for your sins, which ones are excluded?

 

Rick Mentzer's comment on 2021-01-22 10:32:07:

Again its not a case of agree or disagree confessing Romans 10:9+10 and believing in your heart gets you born again spiritually we are perfect in Gods eyes now until any christian renews His mind and determines to make Gods Will his will and do it he will continue to walk according to the flesh Romans Chapter 8 1-13 to mortify or dsetroy works of the flesh this requires putting on Gods Word and acting accordingly. Also something to consider there are sins intentional and ones unintentional when Jesus Christ confronted a lot of religious leaders the evil was in their eyes they were perfect and they were the most corrupt, but most of the commend people understood they weren't worthy and they are the ones that got healed some he said go and sin no more ie don't intensionally, we all sin the question is is it done with evil intent or habit patterns of our old man nature. Any born again believer can do something and thinks its right but in the eyes of God be dead wrong, that doesn't make the person evil perhaps uneducated or unlearned. Thats why Judge not I don't know your background or experiences in life but i,ve been through some that I thought the true God was working wasn't the case but I learned just because you experience something that doesn't make it necessarily something the true God is doing. I take thoughts line them up with Gods word and unless it Glorifies god blesses me and others I don't take action. Just some food for thought.

Hi Adam it's Rick I'm not here to judge but I do endeavor to stick to it is written because they are God's Words therefore to say my area my mind my interpretation my understanding are all the individuals interpretation as to what he thinks God meant this is religion elevating itself against the true God by misunderstanding or following an individual's belief system our Brother Jesus Christ ran into the same thing the religious rulers knew God's Word but twisted it to fit what they chose to believe.

 

Mild Bill's comment on 2021-01-22 06:44:50:

Rick Mentzer,

"man does not believe he needs saved from anything the big ie sin." = the rejection of the reproving work of the Holy Spirit, therefore, in a state of inability to be saved, dead in trespasses and sin. It sounds like we agree there.

" it is Gods will for people to believe His word and get delivered His way." Are you suggesting a person can believe and not "get delivered"? Whereas, I believe, "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" Philippians 1:6 Saved by grace. Are we in agreement on this?

 

Rick Mentzer's comment on 2021-01-21 11:49:02:

Not disagreeing with the pride thing because natural man does not believe he needs saved from anything the big ie sin. hence if you don't believe in God then you won't believe in sin then there is no reason for a saviour.
