It has just become Sabbath for me. I have wanted to speak on this thread but was busy on a couple of others.
One has run it's course, and the other has paused to give us all more time to grow into Christ.
GODblessusall, with his understanding, his knowledge and his wisdom.
This topic has been a debate for many years, and a subject of great controversy. ..I hope with the Holy Spirits help, I maybe able to add some light on it & share what I have learnt from my studies of it.
Let's start with GOD....Genesis 1:1..."In the begin GOD,,,,, (clearly only one entity)
further on,.. the (last line of verse 2) ..."and the SPIRIT of GOD moved upon the faces of the waters" (entity no 2).
So far we have GOD and his SPIRIT.
Let's go to JESUS.....what does he say about himself.
John 10: 30 ..."I and the father are one"....(are the same, of the same entity)
John 10: 36.... he claims to be "the SON of GOD"...
there are many other great examples but these are good and quite direct.... Now the !st book of the Gospel's....Mathew:1 list the blood line of JESUS through his earthly father, linking him to Abraham Jessie,and David..... as it is written.
(Jesus is also linked to David and Jesse through his mother, cousin to mother of John the Baptist) through the line of Abia born of Roboam born of Solomon.
Now let's ask and answer a few questions:
WHO do we say came in the flesh?.....
WHAT is the name of that flesh?......
Now we know who the father of Jesus is, is it possible to be born of the flesh, if the flesh isn't there ? ....but once Mary comes on the scene, (because of her connection through Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, to the vine of Jesse),... as it is written.
We have the FLESH through whom Jesus is born.....who is the other missing half of this equation ?...What did GOD give Mary?....Luke 1: 35
And it says :"therefore also. that Holy thing that shall be born of thee, shall be called the SON of GOD.
Jesus's name is not mentioned again, since the Angel named him to Mary,.. till he is born....clearly Jesus wasn't at the beginning, but GOD was, with his Spirit, GOD gave his Spirit to Mary, JESUS was born...so now we have the 3 GOD heads, but TWO come from the ONE, and are now their own entity, and with him always.
I hope this helps, and welcome any thoughts.
I'm tired and will speak with anyone in the morning
LOVE, PEACE and HARMONY to all
