Wednesday 5-3-23 4th. Day Of The Weekly Cycle, Iyar 12 5783, 44th. Spring Day

God made man in His image, and Jesus is the perfect man—thus the perfect image of God. But Jesus is not just the image of God. He is “the image of the invisible God.” Or as Hebrews 1:3 says, Jesus is “the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature.”
 

Jesus Is Fully Human | Desiring God

Many Christians are afraid to embrace the truth that Jesus is thoroughly, shockingly human. Are you among them?
The New Testament is clear enough that Jesus has a human body. John 1:14 means at least this, and more: “The Word became flesh.” His humanity became one of the first tests of orthodoxy (1 John 4:2; 2 John 7). He was born (Luke 2:7). He grew (Luke 2:40, 52). He grew tired (John 4:6) and got thirsty (John 19:28)

Love, Walter and Debbie

Jesus was 100% man and at the same time 100% God.  Of course this is insufficient to describe God but is the best the English language offers.

All in all, each at the same time.  Not one now and one later but both consistently together.

And yes, Jesus was human.

His body was very much flesh and blood that suffered on that cruel cross.  His blood was real physical blood shed for the sins of the whole world.

Jesus definitely was man.

This is not what you read in scripture.

Jesus was a Man...if someone hung him he would choke to death...this proves that he was a man of the Adam kind...

That's what the scripture says.

He did not have a human Father..

Jesus was an Adam...

To be accurate he was a new man on earth "an original one"...the first of its kind. You must know that..what you are reading in the scriptures..this is what the scriptures are telling you.

Nope!

You are wrong.

What you are incorrectly saying is that Jesus temporarily stopped being God while He was on earth.

Luke 2:11–“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”

Jesus brought His Deity with Him when He came to earth.

He was IN FACT God in the flesh.

End of story!

And yet He did not come in the fullness of His divine glory. 

Only Peter and John got a glimpse.

John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself,

with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

Jesus Christ is without a doubt God even while He is in the flesh.

I am trying to bring to your attention what we have in the scriptures, and you are talking about it but you cannot see it.

Jesus was a New Man on Earth the FIRST AND THE LAST of its kind.

It is in the scriptures...

And stop being the Judge and say nope, you are wrong...OK you can be the judge but say why you believe that I am wrong...first before you say in what you are right...and we shall deal with it too.

Why you have judge that I am wrong? 

I said Jesus was a new man on earth...the FIRST and the LAST...DIFFERENT than any other man...even Adam...in some ways and similar to Adam in some other ways...

One of them was that ge was in the Life of God. And he was righteous towards God...and he had the burden just like Adam to remain in his righteousness...he had the burden to mantain his righteousness by being obedient to what God was asking him to do. Jesus was born under the Law and Adam was not...

Jesus started from the very very beginning...he grew up as a fetus in his mother's womb and they had to cut the umbilical cord which was atouched to his mother after he spent developing in his mother womb for nine months, the gestation period of a human being. 

That is besides the point...

He had to be able as a Man from the People the Nation of God to stand in the presence of God. And as he growing up God showed him gradually all things about himself no one else knew.. and many things that were written in the scriptures about him...

He was taught while he was still young at his family trip to Jerusalem who was his Father...

And told Joseph and his mother that he knew who his Father was..

When I said Jesus was 100% man and at the same time 100% God, you said it was not in Scripture.  It’s all over the Scripture.

You seem stuck on the fact of Jesus being flesh, once a fetus, no earthly father, etc.  Where in Scripture does it say that Jesus ever stopped being fully God. Even temporarily.

Jesus Christ is without a doubt God even while He is in the flesh.

You are talking after the resurrection and we are looking at an issue about Jesus at the time he was born. But we can also discuss about Jesus after his resurrection and after his ascension...

But first about Jesus before his resurrection.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
