( Philippians 2.5-10).

When I read this , to me that means that the Father is God and the Son is God, and there is two of them.

So, are you claiming the Scriptures say there are two Gods? :emot-wave:

( Philippians 2.11)

And when I read this, to me it means that Father is God and that Jesus Christ is our Lord.

So are you there is another Lord than God? :emot-hug:

No, I'm saying that those scriptures are cofusing.

They are not confusing when you simply accept what they mean. The problem is that you are trying to process them through the filter of your rejection of Jesus' Deity.

It is not hard at all. In Phillipians two it shows Jesus emptying Himself, becoming flesh and becoming obedient to death. The clear implication is that Jesus preexisted His earthly appearance and that at that He was not subject to death prior to the cross. It speaks to both Jesus preexistence, which contradicts the notion that He is purely human and it also speaks to His power over death, which no man has ever possessed. Jesus died when He willingly gave up His spirit and left His body. Jesus was not killed or murdered. No one took Jesus life. Only God exercizes personal power over death and only God can lay clay claim to being eternally preexistant both of which Jesus lays claim to.

Moses and Jesus ( God is the saviour trough them).

No, that i not what the Bible says. The Bibles does not say that God is a savior through Jesus. It says Jesus is Savior

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

(Luke 2:11)

God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

(Acts 5:31)

Of this man's offspring God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as he promised.

(Acts 13:23)

For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

(Ephesians 5:23)

and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

(2 Timothy 1:10)

Those are just a few places where Jesus, Himself is called "Savior." You call on us to read our Bibles, but it is clear that you don't really know what the Bible says.

They didn't beleive that he was the messiah. Thats why they wanted to stone him.
That is not why they claimed they wanted to stone Him. They were not arguing with Jesus over whether He was the Messiah. His Messiahship was not hte topic under discussion and does not appear in the text. Their claim was that Jesus was making Himself equal to God and they proclaimed that as their grounds for wanting to stone Him.

Jesus is our Saviour, he is the head of the church, but he is those thinghs because God ( Father ) send him to be those things. We are all reading the same Bible, but we all dont have the same view. Jesus wanted us to beleive that he is our Saviour and nothing more. And that in it self is a beautifull thing.

Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ!

God bless you.

Emptying Himself, what does that even mean?

Ha! That was not what you said originally. You said that God was the savior through Christ, now you are saying that Jesus is sent to be a Savior. So now, you back peddle and pretend that you meant something else altogether.

Jesus said a lot more about Himself than just being a Savior. Jesus said that He is the Resurrection and the Life. He said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus professed that He was the Messiah, and by affirming that He is the Son of God, He professed that He is God.

Furthermore, you cannot simply rest only on the words of Jesus. The WHOLE Bible is the word of God. And it says that Jesus was the creator of the world. When it says, "IN the Begginning God created the heavens the earth," It is really saying, "In The beginning, Jesus creatred the heavens and the earth." That is according Colossians chapter one. Paul delcares that Jesus preeisted creation.

You still have not responded to Hebrews Chapter One where God the Father says to Jesus

But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions." And, "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end."

(Hebrews 1:8-12)

All of that is what God the Father says to Jesus! God the Father calls Jesus, "God." You are you to say that the Father is wrong?

OK, since you are being elusive, I am going to have to be blunt.

What is your religious affiliation? Mormon? Jehovah's Witness? Something else?

What it refers to is that Jesus divested Himself of the mode of existence He knew when He preexisted His earthly birth. It means that he laid aside the form of God, but not His Divine Nature. His personality and those attributes which animated His existence with the Father in eternity past, remained, but He emptied Himself of several aspects of Divine priviledge. He took on flesh, but He was not changed into flesh. He simply and voluntarily and temporarily took on the physical limitations inherent in human flesh.

I know what I've said, both statements to me mean the same thing.

No, I'm not sayiong that God is wrong. But if Jesus is God, why doesn't he insted of saying," Son of Man, Son of God " just say, I am God.

    • 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.”

    • 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
      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.
