What if God was one of us.

Does anyone remember the song what if God was one of us ? I love that song so much. For some reason I feel like God is sitting right next to me when I listen to it. The part where it says what if he was sitting on a bus making his way home. Then I thought of Jesus making his way to Lazarus and Martha and Mary's home. Sitting with them. What if Jesus was one of us making his way home to us ? I think he does everyday.  It brings tears to my eyes to think of him making his way to us. He has a face that i think would show his expectation while he is making his way home to us. I can just see him. He would not look like somebody so high and mighty but like someone who was one of us just like the song. Now people he is of course high and mighty. But he is also lowly and meek and kind. I can prove that,he wants to be with me Wayne. He has to be lowly then lol. But Jesus is a friend. If we have no friends we do have one friend who makes his way to us. I do have some friends but i know if i was alone without friends my true friend who cares for me as I am. He sees my faults and my pitiful selfishness. He just keeps trying to awaking me to be like him. The part of the song yes yes God is great yes yes God is good is singing so true of God. I do love this song.  I know it's not really a Christian song but it surely expresses God's goodness.

Joan Osborne redid that song made it seem so satanic (in my opinion). I do not even like it since i saw her video of it.

Php 2:5 ESV Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

Php 2:6  who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

Php 2:7  but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

Php 2:8  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Php 2:9  Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

Php 2:10  so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Php 2:11  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

God did become like one of us but without sin.  

Now we must reflect Jesus to all and stop being the bratty little kids.  Believe me, I have cared for street people and the indigent in the hospital. The odors did get to me of sick people and unbathed people.  But I had to see their need not just for sanitation but for nutrition and health, their pain and fatigue, illness, and sin.  All of these things Christ died for.  He bore our infirmities and our human condition.  And He has compassion.  

 Mar 2:17  ESV And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”  

Well said Wills. My phone changes your a to s will not stop  lol. We need to think like Jesus. Thank you for being so good to the many persons you helped. He sees it.

Philippians 2:6-8
 ‭Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:‭ 
 ‭But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:‭ 
 ‭And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.‭

I was in the proces of quoting the same verses when I saw your post. God with us...Emmanuel. Jesus had to become fully man else He could not be tempted in all things as we are, and understand our needs.

And he could not take our sins upon himself. Behold the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world.

He was always 100% God. Fully God, Fully human.

And he was and is and will always be PERFECT!  Jesus walked the earth a sinless man.  Fully man fully God!  He is NOTHING LIKE US.

That is why the song is so offensive !!  This is exactly the kind of thing that brings God down to  lesser in peoples depraved minds. The song is veiled in massive deception. It is not agreeing with  Gods character but it has lessened him to being like us.  He certainly isnt  "one of us" . We are not righteous on our own. We are a wicked people. We are helpless w/o the LORD! We are perishing for denying the LORD.

God is the Alpha and the Omega the creator of all things great and small. God is Majesty! God is Sovereign!  God is and always has been and always will be GOD . God has the power to destroy both the body and the soul. Last I checked, I bow to him and not the other way around.

God is only IN US  and certainly not one of us.   God is not in everyone. He has given us his word to deem who is his and who isnt and how to  get there! 

Another reason the song makes my stomach turn: The pope is last person the LORD is going to fellowship with! He will judge him straight to hell because he  is the picture of everything that opposes Christ! The pope sits at the top of a faith that is  filth and lucre! He is the  choir boy for the synagogue of Satan.

You do not understand scripture well.

It is written, he humbled himself.

Although it is impossible for our finite minds to understand, Jesus was absolutely fully human, and will remain so throughout all eternity. The sacrifice the Son of God made was greater than dying...whatever form He had pre-incarnation (likely spirit form as His Fater is spirit) Jesus laid aside in order identify zHimself forever with the human race He redeemed.

Luke 24:39 
 ‭Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.‭ 

Sure, He now has a glorified body, but it is still and will always be human.

But He is also fully and truly God.   He did not lay aside His deity when He came to earth.   He temporarily emptied Himself of divine prerogatives as God, but those prerogatives were restored after His resurrection.   He will always be fully man and fully and truly  God.

Agreed.
