EXCELLENT POST Cornelius! You should pin it for the unbelievers, some people just don't understand that Jesus was God in the flesh, a manefestation of God.

Pin it!!!!

I will ask somebody to pin it...its outside my jurisdiction
I will also give the link to the site I found it on, its great, I haven't read through the whole site yet. First going to check it out in total before giving the link
love C

More please Cornelius !

Very inspiring. Praise the Lord!

Of course you know what this means, right? It was God who was crucified, who had died and was resurrected.

Now, for a 100 bonus points, what is the verse in New Testament that proves this?

Well, for a 100 , I might just go look for it unless you will just give it for a mere 250 points!
C

Okay I'll give you a hint. This verse has always been a mystery to me, and I could not understand it until the Lord revealed to me that he is God and Christ, then it clicked.

Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Why did God forsake Christ in his greatest hour of need? To know the answer is proof that Jesus is God. Its like a gift from God saying "you don't have to believe it, here's proof" and he shows you his scars like he did to Thomas.

...of course, it is better to believe than to be shown!

mmmm...Bob, the man that loves a good think and a puzzle.
Lets see....Jesus at that moment became sin for us.God says, in Him is no sin. Would your revelation have anything to do with that fact?God left when sin came.

Or you can add to the clue
C

Okay. I will . I was told the same thing about Jesus becoming sin and all, but I was never satisfied with that explaination as the answer.

Here is the hint:

1. Before Christ had died only Christ could find God anywhere. Why?
2. Jesus is God and God is Jesus
3. So when death was upon Jesus, what happened to God?

Ok, I will make it 300 points for your explanation, but that's my final offer.
C

Okay

Before Jesus had died it was only Jesus who could find the Father and the Father could not be found. And the reason why Christ could not find the father is because God had died, which is why Christ cried out. When someone we love dies we lose him or her, we cannot find them because they have gone to the world of the dead.

When God died, Christ died, because God is Christ and Christ is God. When God died he could not be found while Christ had only moments left in life. The act of Christ crying out looking for the father proves he is God.

God got up from his throne and went into the world of the dead on his own. He went ahead of Christ momentarily before Christ died on the cross.

And Christ was risen for he is God. As believers we hold that Christ has risen because he did not once sin against God. That is true, but the resurrection of Christ becomes obvious when one realizes he is God. For one God does not sin against himself, and two death is nothing to God since God created death.

This is a very powerful vision to hold for even when God almighty was in the world of the dead he had shown his grace and exercised his righteousness to rend the curtain in two covering the holy of holies.

Further the vision is made even more powerful by realizing before God had risen from his throne to go to the world of the dead he was without a single blemish. Now God carries a "blemish" on each hand and foot and on his side for oursake and he wears that "blemish" forever out of his love for us!

But I say it's not a blemish but a mark of his Glory!

Thanks for sharing your insight Bob.
It is indeed a mark of glory.


300 points and 5 bonus for neat typing.

this is interesting to note:


the word messiah appears twice in the bible and has a gematrical value of 444.

Jesus in greek has a gematrical value of 888.

very interesting, don't you think?

It does not matter if Jesus is God or not, fact is you would not recognise Jesus if Jesus came walking beside you so therefore you must Treat everyone like a Jesus for what you did for these least of these you did for me.

...I'd rather believe I would recognize Christ if he stood next to me than believe that I would not. So, I believe I would

Friend, even Jesus own disciples didnt recognise Jesus after Jesus was resurrected... how then could you? nobody knew Jesus was the messiah in those first 30 years.

Friend, Jesus knows my heart better than I. He put in me that I believe I would recognize him

Your valentine feelings put that in you not Jesus.

Joeri, you come with wounding words for they do not counsel my spirit.

Galatians 5:15
But if you are given to fighting with one another, take care that you are not the cause of destruction one to another.

Be it on your conscience and take care your words do not cause the destruction of another.

There is one other thing...only the Lord Jesus Christ himself could say such a thing. Are you he?

sorry for the valentine then, it was meant as a joke.
but how can I believe Jesus puts ideas in you which simply are not true when Jesus is the Truth himself
Having been both banned tons of times from many forums christian forums+experienced how another person in my church felt all the intense hurt that caused through the holy spirit, i assure you my heart is way far from the hostility you and many others see in my words.
I apologise for sin.

No offense taken, my friend, for you have asked kindly.

The answer is that you must believe that Christ lives in you. I or the way my life is is not the example. Christ is the example.

Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

I do not ask that you believe me when I say Jesus puts ideas in me. The matter is that you must believe Jesus had put himself in you.

I could not question a man's belief in Christ when he says "I believe in Jesus Christ," for one to say as such comes from the Holy Spirit, and not from evil.

1 Corinthians 12:3
So it is my desire for you to be clear about this; that no one is able to say by the Spirit of God that Jesus is cursed; and no one is able to say that Jesus is Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.

If one claims to "know" he or she will be asked to prove. If one claims to "believe" then it is Christ himself who will know and prove the matter.

Belief is greater than knowing, faith is greater than works.

Love my friend.

HB

AHH,the fruits of the spirit tells every time. Gods face to shine upon you HB,yours in Christ Offgrid

Very, Very few Christians have the true gift of discernment and without it its impossible to accurately judge.
To tell the truth, mine was stolen. witchcraft can do much if God allows it.
So my grandpa got popular, instead of I. BEcause of his innocent radiation/glory/aura, that is, my innocent youthish one.

Nothing is offensive to the Lord if it is given to Christ first, Joeri. Offgird's blessing is one I offer to the Lord first to do him honor.

Genesis 4:3-5
And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. 4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: 5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

be on your guard and suffer not the spell that Cain fell under.

rejecting Jesus or rejecting Jesus-in-others in the name of Christ, as Christ said would happen, surely is offensive.

I would agree if you mean that the Kingdom of Christ does not divide itself.



But I would disagree with what you say in that Christ would divide his own kingdom.



For Jesus Christ never said his own kingdom would divide itself and thus fall.

Matthew 12:25
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

And Christ said the same for the kingdom of satan.

Matthew 12:26
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

But the Kingdom of Christ shall prevail over the kingdom of satan, for what is offensive to the Lord Jesus Christ he will have removed and thrown into the lake of fire.

I did not say Christ would divide his own kingdom, the sinful people of that kingdom divide the kingdom against Christs will.
btw if he threw away everything which he didnt like in the fire, no man would be in that kingdom but Christ
For all have sinned

Of course He is!

Humble Bob and Joeri,
Time to stop this. I believe you are both trusting in JESUS CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED, RISEN and EXALTED at the RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER. Therefore, it would be much better for all of us if you cooled it!

Please read these verses and think about it:



I removed your last two replies to each other.

Please keep sniping between yourselves in PMs or better yet, don't do it at all.

Thanks.

Todd

Thanks Todd, I was getting tired of pointless arguing over nonsense. That is not our calling. IF I have sinned, I ask forgiveness.

Dear Christ in heaven hear my words for I call upon thee, that I declare your words that you have spoken. That I confess before all who read this that you are my Lord and savior so that you will confess me before the Father. That I ask you Lord that I will suffer the falling away so that you will show me the son of perdition that is in me, and my house upon sand will be washed away, so that you will rebuild my house upon you!

Mattthew 10:32
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition

In your name, Jesus, I pray, Amen.

Robert

I am quoting this again, to reset this thread. It is a beautiful piece of study material, worth looking at and meditating on.It contains some of those "wow" elements that we do not often see in life. 14 scriptures...7 this side and 7 the other.
I find God to be like music. So much harmony.

AMEN BROTHER AMEN!!!!!!! Jesus was God manifested in the FLESH!!!!! 1 tim 3:16

AMEN brother! You got that right! God is like music! I believe that in heaven all Gods and our righteous deeds itself can be woven into music!
For with God, whom is love, nothing shall be impossible!

Jesus is the Son of Father God, and depending on how you define God, himself fully a God as well. They are One. The Son does nothing without the Father. He cannot even. Humans jobs is to be One as well. but from the moment that Adam and Eve ate from the tree we went into a dualistic, good/evil reality, instead of a unifying Life together, as humanity with the Eternal God.

Has anyone realized, with all this code stuff and putting words together and what means what that God WROTE all of it?

You have to do no more than look at the cross, my firends. It all begins and ends there. There is no need to go any further.

"Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews...."
that is Pilate wrote as his crime. The big wigs of the Jews didn't think much of this until it hung above His head....

Remember they wrote in brief and left out a bunck of vowels (sort of like some of our liscense plates now).

WELL!!!!! Do you think His name, Jesus was accidental? What it means is accidental? Where He was born was accidental? That Pilate thought to use 'king of the Jews' as a half retort to those underneath the Roman Empire?

Take out the vowels in that Phrase and it reads "Jehovah".

THAT is why the big wigs must have cursed in all their rightousness when they saw it hanging over His head on that hill for all to see.

I tell you, my friend. It was no accident.

leia

Leia is right. We should return to the Cross, living and preaching it. The cross is the power of God and the center of all we are called to live by;you are to love as you have been loved by Christ which is shown on the Cross the most.

Amen Cornelius

Christ is God.



Charlie

just a question for everyone but what is God? What makes someone or something a God? Define God.
I say God is the father and mother of Jesus Christ but I also believe that the JHWH (Lord) in the Old Testament is often Jesus Christ/Jahushua.

Yes and I will 2nd that!



Your friend in Christ,

Val



Messiahiscoming

God is not the mother of Jesus, Mary a human woman was. Period. End of story. To believe otherwise is to exalt your knowledge above the knowledge of God.

I think that Joeri was refering to these scriptures where Christ denounses his mother and brothers.

Matthew 12
48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?"
49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!
50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother."

Mark 3
33 But He answered them, saying, "Who is My mother, or My brothers?"
34 And He looked around in a circle at those who sat about Him, and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers!
35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother."


Luke 8
20 And it was told Him by some, who said, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You."
21 But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."

Here comes a compilation of Questions from the letters in the New Testament.Worth pondering.
NKJV

Rom; 2:3"And do you think this,O man,you who judge those practicing such things,and doing the same,that you will escape the judgement of God?"

4:9"Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only,or upon the uncircumcised also?"

9:21"Does not the potter have power over the clay,from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?"
9:22-24"What if God,wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known,endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy,which He had prepared beforehand for glory,even us whom He called,not of the Jews only,but also of the Gentiles?"

14:23"Therefore,if the whole church comes together in one place,and all speak with tongues,and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers,will they not say you are out of your mind?"
14:26"How is it then brethren?"
14:36"Or did the word of God come originally from you?Or was it you only that it reached?"

15:32"If in the manner of men,I have fought with beasts at Ephesus,what advantage is it to me?
15:35"How are the dead raised up?And with what body do they come?"

cool find, thanks a lot.

HumbleBob, miss you! Are you still here?

The answer to any mystery is always right there in the book.

Christ was Quoting Psalms22.

Psalms 22:

1 My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
Why are You so far from helping Me,
And from the words of My groaning?
2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;
And in the night season, and am not silent.

3 But You are holy,
Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in You;
They trusted, and You delivered them.
5 They cried to You, and were delivered;
They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

6 But I am a worm, and no man;
A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7 All those who see Me ridicule Me;
They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 “He trusted[b] in the LORD, let Him rescue Him;
Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”

9 But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
You have been My God.
11 Be not far from Me,
For trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

12 Many bulls have surrounded Me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.
13 They gape at Me with their mouths,
Like a raging and roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water,
And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted within Me.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.

16 For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced[c] My hands and My feet;
17 I can count all My bones.
They look and stare at Me.
18 They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.

19 But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me;
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
20 Deliver Me from the sword,
My precious life from the power of the dog.
21 Save Me from the lion’s mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen!

You have answered Me.

22 I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him!
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from Him;
But when He cried to Him, He heard.

25 My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;
I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the LORD.
Let your heart live forever!

27 All the ends of the world
Shall remember and turn to the LORD,
And all the families of the nations
Shall worship before You.[d]
28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s,
And He rules over the nations.

29 All the prosperous of the earth
Shall eat and worship;
All those who go down to the dust
Shall bow before Him,
Even he who cannot keep himself alive.

30 A posterity shall serve Him.
It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,
31 They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born,
That He has done this.

Did you read that entire Chapter? Our GOD is indeed an AWESOME GOD!

JESUS IS LORD!

Also look at I Timothy 3:16

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

Now look at it again:

16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifested in the flesh,
(GOD was) Justified in the Spirit,
(GOD was) Seen by angels,
(GOD) Preached among the Gentiles,
(GOD was) Believed on in the world,
(GOD was) Received up in glory.

comma, comma, comma!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOOT WHOOT, now check out what happened in the conversion of Saul:



And he said, "Who are You, Lord? Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting"

So, if I hear people tell me that Jesus never said He was God, I point them to this verse, then 'BAM' Saul now converted to Paul!

And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

Saul is saying , Who are you Jehovah, at this moment Saul did not know it was Jesus. Acts 9:5 reads, "And HE said (And Jehovah said), Who are thou Lord? (Jesus says, "I am Jehovah") In the Hebrew translation of the New Testament Greek it says;

"And Jehovah God said, I am Yeshua"

The translaters were identifying Jesus with Jehovah in order to prove His full identity as Almigty God!

Jesus did say he is the 'I AM'

Jesus didn't say He was God?? Oh?? But God said he was Jesus?

JESUS IS LORD!

Amen!

AMEN!

I was talking with brothers and this little girl came and knelt before us and simply said:

Jesus is God. 'nough said.

AMEN! Excellent thread. The OP is a keeper

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself.
