God has no biological existence,
and He does not reproduce Himself biologically.
Christian doctrine has been brought into question (confused,
unorganized, complete disorder, having nothing in common) because
of dispute and confused vision about the identity
of Jesus Christ
And they said, Some, John the Baptist; and others, Elias;
and others again, Jeremiahs or one of the prophets (Matthew
16:14).
and the doctrine of the apostolic faith
There is one body and one Spirit, as ye have been also
called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us
all (Ephesians 4:4 -6)
which is the core of the foundation of the Christian religion derived
from the teaching of Jesus Christ
And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted
to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
(Luke 24:27) based on biblical scripture.
God was has confirmed to us (Genesis 2:7) that He formed Man,
dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and Man became a living soul. This verse gives us courage to see the power
of God from a non-traditional point of view.
Since a virgin conceived in a non-traditional (non-biological)
way and bore a son that also gives us courage to study the unquestionable
wisdom of God in all time.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold,
a virgin shall conceive (to become pregnant or pregnant with),
and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel Isaiah
7:14.
Everything that was spoken of the Lord by the prophet was done and fulfilled.
God desired to express in definite form (embody) His
words among men. As a result
The Word was made flesh (miraculously) John
1:14.
In Jesus dwelled the fullness of the godhead (deity)
bodily Colossians 2:9.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government
shall be upon his shoulder; and his name is called Wonderful, Counsellor,
Mighty *God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isaiah
9: 6
The child was born with a unique name (Wonderful,
Counsellor, Mighty *God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace),
which belongs only to the one who created heaven and earth and came
to reside among men in the likeness of sinful flesh.
For I say unto you (for the biological
descendant of Adam and Eve), among them that are born of women
(from traditional point of view by normal reproduction
process) a greater prophet is no one than John the Baptist; but
he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he. Luke
7:28
To whom then will ye liken me, or shall
I be equal? saith the Holy One Isaiah 40:25.
To whom will ye liken me and make me equal, or compare me that we may
be like? Isaiah 46:5
Unfortunately the identity of Jesus Christ as expressed
in the book of Rev.Teklemariam (The Bible Writers Theology)
has recently been the subject of a number of articles published on the
internet, by a group of theologians who, have
provided a different interpretation of the identity
of Christ according to their article of faith. However the mystery
of godliness based on biblical scriptures is very cehlear for those seeking
the truth without confusing or distorting the infinite wisdom of God
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite
Psalms 147:5 with man's wisdom.
I Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom
of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the
wise in their own craftiness (deceitfulness).
And when I saw him I fell at his feet adead; and he laid his
right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; *I* am the first and the last, Revelation
of John1:17
I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, he
who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty. Revelation
of John1: 8
Some Hebrew believers as well as others prefer to take milk
instead of strong meat when they are supposed to stand up
for harvesting.
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that
one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God;
and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For
every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for
he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age,
even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern
both good and evil Hebrews 5:12-:14.
For the last couple of years, in the false guise of teachers, the above-mentioned
group of theologians has bombarded the basic
tenets of apostolic faith through the media with its false interpretations.
We learn from scripture that
some feel good in their minds when they speak
the wisdom of this world. God calls such thoughts
foolishness. Apostle Paul told the church of the Corinthians
Not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of
you be puffed up for one against another 1
Corinthians 4.6.
Do not err (to be or do wrong), my
beloved brethren. James 1:16
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches
of the saints. I Corinthians 14:33
We should remember that one of the theologians wrote in
his book
To make a statement knowing that it is false, especially with the intent
to deceive, it can include deliberately giving a false impression or confusing
the issue in order to evade the truth, that is a Lie" (David
K. Bernard, Series in Pentecostal Theology, Volume 3 page79-80).
The aforementioned theologians have confused the issue,
["The Identity of Jesus Christ"] in order to evade
the truth, and have changed the glory of the uncorruptible God by asserting
that:
· Jesus was the biological descendant of Adam and Eve.
· Jesus was the biological descendant of Abraham.
· Jesus was a natural Israelite in the same way as Paul.
· Jesus was the biological descendant of David.
· Jesus is the biological descendant of Mary.
· Jesus had the same kind of body (flesh and blood) that we have.
· The resurrection of Christ gave Him a glorified body.
· God truly came in human flesh.
We should remind ourselves that
This wisdom (to change the glory of the
uncorruptible God into an image made like to biologically corruptible
man) descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish
(James 3:15).
Throughout the Holy Bible there is not a single
verse that shows that God started in spirit and completed his work the
way the descendent of Adam (biologically, traditionally) has done.
There is nothing anywhere in the Scriptures that even hints that Jesus
was the biological descendant of Adam and Eve, Abraham, David and Mary
or suggests that God had a "biological son".

We are naturally born to carry imperfect DNA biologically,
and a curse spiritually both seeds remain inactive until
we accept the Lord Jesus Christ and are born again. What this means is
that, the generational curses are in people at birth
(i.e. they are inherited genetically and spiritually) and remain
there until they are broken.
Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made
perfect by the flesh? Galatians 3:3
KJV.
One thing we know is that by sin came death and death passed thereafter
to all men (to those related to Adam and Eva through genetic
relationship).
David said
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness: according
unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Behold,
I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother (biologically)
conceive me Psalms 51:5 KJV.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I
the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate
me Exodus 20:5.
How then could Jesus have been the biological descendant
(deriving directly from a precursor) of David,
Adam and Eve?
Christ has redeemed (purchased our freedom)
us out of the curse (doom) of the law, having
become a curse for us, (for it is written in the scripture), Cursed is
every one hanged (crucified) upon a tree,
that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus,
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith
Galatians 3:13-14.
But by precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish and without
spot, the blood of Christ, foreknown indeed before the foundation of the
world, but who has been manifested at the end of times for your sakes
Galatians 3:13-14.
God desired to express in definite form (embody)
His words among men. As a result
the Word was made flesh (miraculously)
John 1:14.
In Jesus dwelled the fullness of the godhead (deity)
bodily Colossians 2:9.
Who, being in the form
of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself
of no reputation, and took upon him the form
of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled
himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross
Philippians 2: 6-8.
Thus Jesus was born, to be an example and a shadow of heavenly
things, not of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.For
even here unto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving
us an example, that ye should follow his steps I
Peter 2:21.
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as
Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle:
for, see, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern
shewed to thee in the mount Hebrews 8:5.
We are indeed told in the scripture according to KGV, to rightly divide
the word of truth and study,
· Between earthly and heavenly
And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but different
is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly I
Corinthians 15:40.
As is the earthly, such are they also that are earthly:
and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly I
Corinthians 15:48.
The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man is
the Lord from heaven I Corinthians 15:47-48.
He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the
earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth John
3:31.
Between the first Adam and
The last Adam
Thus also it is written, the first man Adam became a living
soul; the last Adam a quickening spirit I Corinthians
15:45.
· Between corruptible seed and incorruptible
seed
The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man is
the Lord from heaven I Corinthians 15:47.
· Between evil and Righteous
If we confess our sins, he (the heavenly one) is faithful
and righteous to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness
I John 1:9.
· Between human nature and divine nature
Through which he has given to us the greatest and precious
promises, that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust II
Peter 1:4.
Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth II
Timothy 2:15 KJV.
The mystery
The secret things (the mystery)
belong unto the LORD our God: but those things, which are revealed, belong
unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of
this law Deuteronomy 29:29 KJV.
The mystery, which has been
hidden from ages and from generations, but has now been made manifest
to his saints Colossians 1:26 Darby.
And without controversy great is the mystery
of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed
on in the world, received up into glory Timothy
3:16.
To whom God would make known what are the riches of
the glory of this mystery among the nations,
which is Christ in you the hope of glory Colossians
1:27 Darby.
Whom *we* announce, admonishing every man, and teaching
every man, in all wisdom, to the end that we may present every man perfect
in Christ Colossians
1:28 Darby.
Whereunto also I toil, combating according to his working,
which works in me in power Colossians 1:29 Darby.
For I would have you know what combat I have for you,
and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in flesh Colossians
2:1 Darby.
To the end that their hearts may be encouraged, being
united together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
understanding, to the full knowledge of the mystery of God Colossians
2:2 Darby.
Even the mystery which hath
been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest (easily
understood) to his saints Colossians 1:26.
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given
us an understanding that we should know him that is true; and We
are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He
is the true God and eternal life I John
5:20.
For this cause, even as by one man sin entered into
the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all men (upon
all humanity), for that all have sinned Romans
5:12.
How could Jesus break the generational curses that have been put upon us through
the sins of our ancestors, if he was the descendant of Adam, Eve, David etc?
Which also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom,
but in those taught by the Spirit, communicating spiritual things by spiritual
means I Corinthians 2:13
But I let you know, brethren, as to the glad tidings,
which were announced by me, that they are not
according to man. For neither did I receive
them from man, neither was I taught them,
but by revelation of Jesus Christ. Galatians
1:11-12.
To the end that their hearts may be encouraged, being
united together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
understanding, to the full knowledge of the mystery
of God (the Lord Jesus Christ); in which
are hid all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge. Colossians
2:2.
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant
of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness
in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come
in (Romans 11:25).
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil
of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your
good conversation in Christ (I
Peter 3:16).
Psychologists have suggested that
people's mistakes may have less to do with concentration than previously
thought, but that errors occur when people spend less time studying and
reflecting on a subject than is necessary. In order to find the errors
and to understand how error leads to more errors and spoils the truth
I want to take a close look at the following verses from the Holy Bible
hoping that they may help the reader to examine the article which was
posted on the Internet.
Let the Word
speak
1. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is
to come, the Almighty. Revelation of
John 1:8
The writer of the article claims Jesus was the biological descendant of
Adam and Eve.
Human beings, because they have direct genetic relationships
with other human beings, are called the children of the flesh,
not the children of God. We are children of wrath until
God reconciles us with Himself through the death of His son, Jesus Christ.
Unto us (which are called the
children of the flesh) a child is born, unto us (biological
descendents of Adam and Eve) a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace.
The above scripture clearly tells us that to those who are
called the children of the flesh or the biological descendents of Adam
and Eve, a son (Jesus) is given.
If so, in which manner was Jesus the biological descendent of Adam and
Eve?
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou (Adam
and his biological descendents) eat bread, until thou return to
the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto
dust shalt thou (Adam and his biological descendents)
return (Genesis 3:19).
Adam and Eve are the Prototype of sin after they ignored
the commandment of God and the result death passed upon all men (All
flesh), for that all have sinned.
And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of Man was great
on the earth, and every magination
of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually
(Genesis 4:5).
And upon Cain, and on his offering, he did not look.
And Cain was very angry, and his
countenance fell (Genesis
3:19).
How was Jesus related by direct genetic relationship
with Cain, who is the biological descendant of Adam and Eve?
As is written in the bible, Adam and
Eve passed on to us (which are called
the children of the flesh) their propensity toward sinning. It
is in our DNA.
We have all had our experience in times past of the lusts
of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind. We
were by nature the children of wrath, even
as others (Ephesians 2:3).
The writer of the article said Jesus was a natural Israelite in the same way
as Paul. In other words Jesus was no different from born-again man. But Paul
recognised that Jesus is the Son of God, not a born again man.
But Paul took his courage in his hands and went boldly into the synagogues
and proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.
And immediately there fell from his eyes, as if it had
been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain
days with the disciples, which were at Damascus. And straightway he preached
Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God (Acts
9:18-20).
In addition to that
For unto us (including Saul) a child is born, unto us
(including you and I) a son is given: and the government shall be upon
his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The
mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (Isaiah
9:6).
If we compare Jesus Christ with Paul, the scripture says,
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I (Paul)
am chief (I Timothy 1:15 KJV).
However, as stated above, the writer of the article said Jesus was a natural
Israelite in the same way as Paul. In other words Jesus was no different from
born-again man.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were
born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,
but of God. (John 1:12-13 KJV)
When we say we are the Children of God we are not talking about
DNA. In genetic terms, the molecule that carries our genes is called DNA,
and is also called "chromosomes." Most cells have two versions
of every gene, a total of 46 chromosomes. Exactly half of those, 23, came
from your mother, and 23 came from your father.
Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding
is infinite (Psalms 147:5).
God's understanding is not measured by DNA (chromosomes).
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect.
For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they
are the seed of Abraham (biologically), are
they all children (Ishmael was also the biological
descendant of Abraham) but, in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
That is, they which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children
of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. For
this is the word of promise, at this time will I come, and Sara shall
have a son (Romans 9:6 - 9).
And Hagar bare Abram a son (biologically),and
Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael. (Genesis
16:15).
And of the son of the maid I will make a nation also,
because he is (biologically) your descendant
(Genesis 21:13).
And the LORD God formed man of the dust (not biologically)
of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7).
But Jesus Christ did not come biologically in the flesh:
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
confesseth that Jesus Christ is come (miraculously not biologically) in
the flesh is of God: (I John 4:2)
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones,
or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by
him, and for him (Colossians 1:16).
at the end of these days has spoken to us in the person
of the Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he
made the worlds(Hebrews 1:2).
but God commends *his* love to us, in that, we being
still sinners, Christ has died for us. Romans 5:12 For this cause, even
as by one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death (Romans
5:8)
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given
us an understanding that we should know him that is true; and we are in
him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal
life (I John 5:20).
Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom
I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I
am HE: before me there was no *God formed, neither shall there be after
me (Isaiah 43:10).
And Jehovah Elohim formed Man , dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and Man(Adam) became
a living soul. Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,
until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust
thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return (Genesis
2:7)
And as we have borne the image of the one made of dust,
we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one. (I
Corinthians 15:49).
According to the scripture, whoever is born of the flesh has the image of the
one made of dust (Adam) and whoever is Born of the Spirit shall bear also the
image of the heavenly one.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit. (John 3:6)
By divine conception, she was to bring
forth a son, who has the image of the heavenly one, whom
she must call Jehovah saviour, the hope of the world.
When we say born of the flesh it means we are born in the image of the one
made of dust, thus we are the descendants of Adam and Eve.
The spirit of Christ was operating even before he was born.
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of
Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the
sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. (I
Peter 1:11 KJV )
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost
shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
therefore also that holy thing which shall be born (by divine conception)
of thee shall be called the Son of God (Luke 1:35).
Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye
now made perfect by the flesh? (Galatians 3:3
KJV)
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and
worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by
the hearing of faith? (Galatians 3:5 KJV)
The one who was born of flesh (biologically),
cannot condemn sin because he himself carries the genes of his ancestors
in his flesh. Only the one that is born of the spirit (by
Divine conception) condemns sin in the flesh.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through
the flesh, God sent his own Son in the likeness
of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh (Romans
8:3).
For this cause, even as by one man sin (earthly desire)
entered into the world, and by sin death; and thus death passed upon all
men (upon all humanity), for that all have sinned (Romans
5:12).
And as we have borne the image of the one made of dust,
we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one (I
Corinthians 15:49).
2. Jesus said, before Abraham was, I am.
The writer of the article said Jesus
was the biological descendant of Abraham.
What is the meaning of descendent? Who was first who was
ancestor? In which manner (according to the flesh or according
to the spirit) was Jesus the descendent of Abraham?
Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am (John 8:58).
They answered him, we are Abraham's seed (biologically),
and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, ye shall
become free? (John 8:33).
I know that ye are Abraham's seed but ye seek to kill
me (because of the seed of the devil which is in
you) because my word has no entrance in you (John
8:37).
They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father.
Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children (accepting the word
of God and his faith), ye would do the works of Abraham (John
8:39).
But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the
truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham (John
8:40).
The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou
hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If
any one keep my word, he shall never taste death (John
8:52)
Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my
day, and he saw and rejoiced (John 8:56)
The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty
years, and hast thou seen Abraham? (John 8:57).
3. Jesus said *I* am the Alpha and the Omega, the first
and the last, the beginning and the end.
The writer of the article said Jesus
was a natural Israelite in the same way as Paul, but the life of Paul
and his death have been measured the same way as those of an ordinary
man.
Behold, in iniquity was I brought forth, and in sin
did my mother conceive me. David said. What about Paul's mother, was not
the same way gave birth or conceived as David said? (Psalms
51:5).
Faithful is the word, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom *I* am
the first (I Timothy 1:15).
Are they Hebrews? *I* also. Are they Israelites? *I*
also. Are they seed of Abraham? *I* also (Romans
3:9).
What then? Are we better? No, in no wise: for we have
before charged both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin (II
Corinthians 11:22).
Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified
for by law is knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20).
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God (Romans 3:23).
Who then is Apollo's, and who Paul? Ministering servants,
through whom ye have believed, and as the Lord has given to each (I
Corinthians 3:5).
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens
from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world (Ephesians
2:12).
Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the
Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: (Romans
3:29).
That at the name of Jesus every knee (all flesh) should
bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth
(Philippians 2:10).
Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for
the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because
there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land (Hosea
4:1).
4. Jesus said, how say the scribes that Christ is the
Son of David?
The writer of the article said Jesus
was the biological descendant of David.
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in
yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. (Matthew
23:13).
God never lies and he always does what his word says.
David pleaded for God forgiveness (Psalm
51), after he had committed adultery and killed a person. Nathan
also reminded David about the curse God was placing on his household.
(II Samuel 12:10,11,14). The descendents
of David had no choice but to live under the curse God imposed on him.
Until Jesus died there was no possible way for them to
avoid the consequences of the Law (the curse).
David said, The Lord is my rock and my fortress and
my Deliverer, my God, my strength in whom I will trust, my buckler and
the horn of my salvation and my high tower (Psalm
18: 2).
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the
temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?
(Mark 12:35 KJV).
For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said
to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool
(Mark 12:36 KJV).
David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence
is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly (Mark
12:37 KJV).
For David is not ascended into the heavens, but he saith
himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand (Acts
2:34 KJV).
Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:58
This means Before David, Paul, Mary was He is.
And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the
scribes, which love to go in long
clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces (Mark
12:38).
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven
against men: for ye neither go in yourselves , neither
suffer ye them that are entering to go
in (Matthew 23:13).
And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the
temple, How say the scribes
that Christ is the Son of David? (Mark
12:35)

5. Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord. (There
is only one Lord).
The writer of the article said Jesus
is the biological descendant of Mary.
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel
of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived
in her is of the Holy Ghost (not biologically) (Matthew
1:20).
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother,
Mary, that is, having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together,
she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit Matthew1:18).
But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be (this
is not natural way to conceive), since I know not a man? (Luke
1:34)
Natural conception (the normal process of reproduction through DNA) was impossible
to this family (to Joseph, thou son of David and Mary who was found to be with
child of the Holy Spirit.) because from conception to his birth every thing
was unique.
unique
adj 1 : being the only one of its kind : single, sole

Let us start from the beginning and see the ability of God
from non-traditional point of view. The first man (Adam) was unique (without
seed) and the second man (Jesus) also unique (the word
become flesh).
The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man
is the Lord from heaven (I Corinthians 15:47).
The rest of us (biological descendants of Adam and
Eve) are born the same way from the seed of the father and the
egg of the mother which create our DNA (the molecules that carry
our genes called chromosomes)
6. Who has no human spirit but the father incarnate?
Only Jesus.
The writer of the article said Jesus
had the same kind of body (flesh and blood) that we have (corrupted).
There is a big difference between the following two words
"same" and "likeness".
The word become flesh in the likeness of sinful flesh as it was promised.
This means Jesus was not biologically born in order to have the
same sinful flesh and blood that we have made (through
the molecule that carries our genes called "chromosomes)
but God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh; the word became
flesh in the likeness of sinful flesh to call the unrighteous
(you and I) to repentance.
I am not come to call righteous persons (body),
but sinful ones to repentance (Luke 5:32).
But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees,
saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord (Luke
5:8).
The bible teaches us that He came unto his own, and his
own received him not. Why? Because it is specifically stated that He appeared
in the likeness of sinful flesh. Indeed blindness in part
is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
7. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and
forever.
The writer of the article said the
resurrection of Christ gave Him a glorified body.
According to the writer the resurrection by itself
gave Him a glorified body. If we take this view, and accepting that the
unjust also have the promise of resurrection, it means the unjust also
receive a glorified body. This is not supported by the bible.
The bible does say that there is going to be a resurrection
both of the just (the children of the Promise)
and unjust (which are called the children of the flesh).
The Bible does not say the resurrection gave Christ a glorified body.
It says Jesus (the Word of God) is the same yesterday, today and forever.
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and
the end, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death,
in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among the dead by
the glory of the Father (not by glorified body), so *we* also should walk
in newness of life (Romans 6:4).
*I* am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the
last, the beginning and the end (Revelation
of John 22:13).
And we know that the Son of God has come, and has
given us an understanding that we should know him that is true; and We
are in him that is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and
eternal life (I John 5:20).
But their minds were blinded: for until this day
remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament;
which vail is done away in Christ (II
Corinthians 3:14).
8. God was manifest in the flesh.
The writer of the article said God
truly came in human flesh.
Nowhere in the scripture (in any translation of the
holy book) does it say or suggest that God truly came in human
(by the normal process of reproduction through DNA)
flesh.
God was manifest in the flesh Timothy
3:16KJV,.......
God has been manifested in flesh Timothy
3:16 Darby) .....
ος α θεος τσβ εφανερωθη εν σαρκι Timothy
3:16 Greek...
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth. (John 1:14 KJV)
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and
we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a
father), full of grace and truth. (John 1:14
Darby).
και ο λογος σαρξ εγενετο και εσκηνωσεν εν ημιν
και εθεασαμεθα την δοξαν αυτου δοξαν ως μονογενους παρα πατρος πληρης
χαριτος και αληθειας(John 1:14 Greek).
The bible does not say God truly came in human flesh (carrying
sin) but that God was manifest in the flesh.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly,
sensual, devilish (James 3:15).
And there are heavenly bodies , and earthly bodies:
but different is the glory of the heavenly, different that of the earthly
(I Corinthians 15:40).
If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to
heart, to give glory unto my name (Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty *God,
Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace), saith the LORD of hosts, I will
even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have
cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart (Malachi
2:2).
And Here by know ye the Sprit of God: Every spirit
that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and
Every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have
heard that it should come; and even now is it in the world (1John
4:3).
Conclusion
Apostle Paul spoke while he was in Corinth about wisdom. He talks very clearly
about the wisdom of God, the wisdom of the wise, man's wisdom and the wisdom
of this world.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? Where is
the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this
world? (I Corinthians 1:20).
In terms of wisdom, a Christian has to study the meaning of each word talked
by Jesus while he was in this earth.
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge
of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding
out! (Romans 11:33).
That your faith might not stand in men's wisdom, but in
God's power (I Corinthians 2:5).
Jesus is the Son (the unchangeable
word) of God. His conception was divine. From the divine conception
the son (Jesus) was born. In other words the
Holy word of God became flesh and dwelt among us.
But to those that are called, both
Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom (I
Corinthians 1:24).
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification,
and redemption (I Corinthians 1:30).
Have we not all one father through the doctrine of the apostolic faith? Hath
not one God created us? Why do you deal treacherously against your brother,
by profaning the covenant of our fathers? Is this the way one treat the other
when the holy word of God speaks not to, or for the sake of, one organization
or individual? Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned:
behold, the judge standeth before the door James 5:9. |
