Trinity DebateJesus as the embodied pre-existent Son"...coming in human likeness; 5 and found human in appearance, " This statment is very revealing. I mean, how can there any controversy surounding this? It is just that self-explanatory. That's because I don't buy into it, simply. My knowledge of Greek philosophy is crude and elementary, and yet I see the connections in scripture. Also, Hebrew Christians and Jewish converts to Christianity, for the most part, accept orthodox Christian beliefs. So, logically that argument is called into question. One could make the argument, Aineo, that the dying and ressurecting Jesus is a borrowed belief from pagan myths of that time. You've heard stuff like this before; this isn't much different. It's cheap. The earliest versions of the gospels and letters we have don't teach a different doctrine. Modern scholars who know Koine Greek translated them. You're acting like the only Bible we have was doctored up by 5th century Greeks. Paul was Greek, by the way. Does that mean Paul was perverted by Hellenistic thought? No, of course not. God is not like a son of man, lest he should lie. I've read that verse, these arguments I had with Muslims years ago. God is not like a man, but a man was God incarnate. Big difference. I only believe in one God, the Father Almighty, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit. The Nicene Creed proclaims that the Father is God, in fact. Using the above to prove that Jesus wasn't preexistent as a divine being is nonsensical. Hebrews, Colossians, etc stated that Jesus was there, as a divine being, in the beginning. He is before all things and through Him all things were made. He is the very imprint of the Father's being, and who is the Father? God. The Holy Spirit was the Advocate that the Father sent to be with all of us. The Spirit is shown to be a person, and is God...but different than the Father. II Corinthians 13:13 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the holy Spirit be with all of you. Matthew 28:19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, |
