ArchivedJesuss Deity...NO WAY! What are you talking about? How many times, did I say Jesus is 'Lord' in my post! You did read my post, didn't you?? King David by the spirit indeed prophesied that the Messiah would be 'lord' and that this 'lord' will be seated at the right hand of GOD. However, David was without a doubt, that this 'lord' would be his descendent. This 'lord' will be his 'son'. [2 Sam 7:12-14; 1 Chr 17:11-13] This 'lord' would be of his lineage. [Psa 132:11, Jere 23:5, 33:15, Acts 2:30, John 7:42, Rom 1:3, 2 Tim 2:8] Hence, he and every Scripture-believing Jew was expecting a Davidide Israelite - a human being - a man of the lineage of David who would be their king and Messiah. Jesus of Nazareth is that MAN There is no mortal human at the right hand of GOD! Hadn't you heard!! The man Christ Jesus who was dead and buried ... GOD Almighty has raised him from the dead and given him immortality! There is therefore, an immortal human at the right hand of GOD!!! Jesus the Messiah dieth no more, he liveth by the power of GOD [Rom 6:9-10; 2 Cor 13:4]. In the Resurrection, the saints like Jesus, will receive immortality ... they, like Jesus, will be immortal humans Now the Scriptures exhorts us to believe the record that GOD gave of His Son. The fact is that GOD has indeed raised a human from the dead, given this human immortality, highly exalted this human, and placed this human at His Right Hand. This human is Jesus the Messiah, of Nazareth, the Son of the Living GOD. The Greek word for hu(man) is anthropos. The apostles had no problem proclaiming that Jesus is a (hu)man, post-resurrection e.g. (1 Tim 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man [anthropos] Christ Jesus; Now it is obvious that Jesus is NOT an angelic being. And it is obvious that there is solely ONE GOD. And by the very word of GOD which cannot be broken, adoni is the actual Hebrew word solely used to refer to either human lords or angelic lords; it is NEVER used in ref. to DEITY!! Therefore in all of its 195 occurrences, we have 195 clues based on Psalms 110:1 and the word adoni, that the Messiah is NOT GOD, the Messiah is NOT deity. Granted this might be a hard pill to swallow. But don't discount it. Investigate this assertion. So the Scriptures very much support the fact that this person who is to receive dominion over all people and nations who worship and serve him would be a human. For starters, this person would be Son of man. That is was 'Son of man' means! MAN, HUMAN! And guess what! (Num 23:19) God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Jesus of Nazareth called himself, Son of man, nearly 80 times. 'Son of Man' means human; it means humanity NEVER DEITY!! Any OT or 1st-century Jew reading Dan 7:13-14 would understand that this is speaking of an highly exalted human being - an highly exalted MAN; who in the presence of GOD, is to receive a kingdom, power & dominion, from GOD ALMIGHTY - THE ANCIENT OF DAYS Jesus signed his death warrant by declaring that he is THAT MAN! - he is that 'SON OF MAN' (Dan 7:13) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. (Mark 14:61-64) But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? 62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. The very term 'son of man' let us know that the Messiah was to a man, a human being, and NOT GOD! [See also 1 Sam 15:29, Job 9.32, Hosea 11:9] YEP! They did! Totally agree! Yep! Totally agree! The scriptures declare ... (Acts 13:22-23) And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will. 23 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: (Acts 5:31) Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Just as in time past, GOD raised up (human) 'saviours' (The KJV also uses the words 'deliverer(s)'. The same Hebrew word that is translated 'saviour' is being used. See Judg 3:9, 15; 2 Kings 13:5; Neh 9:27. Compare Isa 19:20, Obad 21) to save Israel in times of trouble; in these last days, in the fulness of time, GOD has raised up an even greater human saviour, Jesus the Messiah, to be the Saviour not just of Israel, but of the world!! Even the Samaritans understood this ...
Not sure what you mean by 'another human' Jesus, of course, being the Son of GOD, is no ordinary human. His genesis/beginning declares that. He was conceived/begotten without the aid of a human father. He was conceived/begotten by the power of GOD. The same GOD that made the First MAN/Adam of the dust of the ground ... made Jesus the Last Adam of the seed of a woman! So, Jesus is most definitely human, just like us, yet without sin He was as Adam was before Adam sinned. Where Adam failed, Jesus triumphed. When Jesus came into being, Luke had no problem tracing his genealogy right back to Adam! Why? Because Jesus is human. He is of the human race. He is the Son of MAN hence a 'son/descendant of Adam' The Scriptures declare him to be a (hu)man, again and again. Jesus is a heavenly 'Lord' because currently he is in heaven, at the right hand of GOD. However, he will return one day and sit upon his glorious throne - the promised throne of David and inaugurate the Kingdom of GOD and the Restoration of all things, just as the prophets had spoken about.
How can I say? Because that is exactly what GOD's word says. Will you fight scripture? Christ is not ashamed to call me 'brother' [Heb 2:11]; why should I be ashamed to call him the man Christ Jesus ... (1 Tim 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; The tale of TWO MEN! ... Adam and Jesus of Nazareth
Exactly! That is the point of the writer of Hebrews, who was showing the supremacy and pre-eminence of the MAN Christ Jesus. GOD has so highly exalted this MAN, that even angels and cherubim are subject to him.
Higher than even the angels and cherubim! Yet (1 Cor 15:27) ... it is manifest [IT IS OBVIOUS, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING] that he [ALMIGHTY GOD] is excepted [NOT INCLUDED, EXEMPT], which did put all things under him. Therefore 'Believer' ... believest thou the prophets? [Acts 26:27]; do you believe ALL that the prophets have spoken? [Luke 24:25]; do you believe all things which are written in the law and in the prophets? [Acts 24:14] Live by your 'handle' Investigate these things. See if they be so. PROVE ALL THINGS. HOLD FAST THAT WHICH IS GOOD. It may appear 'heresy' to you now! It did so to the hearers of the apostles, etc. [Acts 24:14] However, if you investigate these things. Investigate what the Scriptures declare and 'believe' it ... I am confident that you will come to the same conclusion. Of course, this will not come overnight! Like I said, it may appear a hard pill to swallow now! I encourage you, therefore, to prayerfully take time to investigate these things. However, the facts remains ... that Jesus of Nazareth was and is a man, a human being. Of course, he was no ordinary (hu)man, being the Son of GOD, conceived/begotten by the power of GOD, like us in all points, yet without sin. He is no ordinary (hu)man NOW! Seeing that he has been raised from the dead, given immortality, and is even at the right hand of GOD! And we yet await for his return when he will come, just as Daniel prophesied, with a kingdom and with power and with glory; his kingdom will have no end - all nations shall serve him ALL TO THE GLORY OF THE ONE GOD, His Father!! (Phil 2:11) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ONE GOD, the Father, namely YAHWEH ONE Lord, the man Christ Jesus, the Son of the Father.
