Trinity DebateWHAT DOES THE BIBLE THINK OF JESUSIt's a shame that a man who has been studying the scriptures for 50+ years departs from the truth. And as far as taking into consideration the bible as a whole, this is where you have failed miserably. And as far as to "KNOW" the ONLY TRUE GOD "and" Jesus Christ, To know Jesus Christ is to know the only true God and to know the only true God is to Know Christ! What does the word seen mean? Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." He then explains in verse 7 to His disciples that they "have seen" and "know" the Father by knowing Him, notice how "have seen" and "know" are parallel when spoken by Jesus. Then in verse 8 Philip continues to fail to understand what Jesus is saying, He says, "shew us the Father". Jesus corrects Philip by repeating that by seeing Him (Jesus) he can "see", i.e., recognize or "know" the invisible Father (v.9) . The context in this passage is apparent, i.e., we could actually see (know, recognize) the invisible Father who is incapable of being seen (1 Tim. 6:16), by knowing and seeing Jesus who is the only way to the Father. God the Son was always (ho on) "who being" in His preexistent state the perfect "exact representation" of the very Person of the Father (hupostaseos), He (Jesus) is the exact replica [autou; hence, "of Him" and not "as Him"] (Heb. 1:3). Therefore, when the disciples saw Jesus, they had "seen" the exact representation and the only way to the invisible Father who is incapable of being seen. Justin Martyr is a heretic, regardless of the Council of Nicene, the doctrine of a Triune God is clearly seen throughout scriptures. |
