    Jesus, being the form of God, said to Jews "you have not seen His form." Why?

    And here's some verses that helps show that "God's begotten Son" refers to Jesus: 1 John 5:20 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God...

    Jesus, being the form of God, said to Jews "you have not seen His form." Why?

    Why? Well, here are some verses that show that Jesus was to be worshiped: Heb 1:6 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him KJV Matt 2:11 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary...

    HOW MANY HOURS WAS JESUS DEAD ON THE CROSS?

    Yes, it was in the evening, as you say. I was confused for a while. Online clocks can't be trusted either, I've found. Plus reading the stories of HIs crucifixion again today, I am again puzzled. For various reasons on the subject. For example, the writers of the gospel differ somewhat in...

    HOW MANY HOURS WAS JESUS DEAD ON THE CROSS?

    I wondered about that too. It isn't called that in the Old Testament though. I'll have to guess that in this case, since the main emphasis of His death seems to be the Passover day. I know that preparation for the Passover meal was made in the evening, as that's when they killed the...

    Jesus, being the form of God, said to Jews "you have not seen His form." Why?

    Jesus was God come in the form of human flesh. Jesus, The Spirit, and the Father are just 3 parts to the one true God that He is. There is no other true God, but God Almighty. I wouldn't call that "blasphemy" to have God come in the form of human flesh. To me, the word, "blasphemy" has...

    Jesus, being the form of God, said to Jews "you have not seen His form." Why?

    Also see this verse: Heb 1:8 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. KJV This is one of the passages that helps to explain that Jesus was a part of the godhead of the ONE GOD there is. And NO ONE BUT GOD is...

    Jesus, being the form of God, said to Jews "you have not seen His form." Why?

    Yes, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father, are all parts of the one and only true God there is, and who created the world and all things! We humans each have 3 separate parts to ourselves too: body, soul and spirit. 1 Thess 5:23 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray...

    The Spirit Of Christ

    Right! And God's Word strictly forbids praying to ANYONE except for to God alone! Matt 4:10 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. KJV Ex 20:3 3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. KJV

    HOW MANY HOURS WAS JESUS DEAD ON THE CROSS?

    So it looks like Jesus died on the day of preparation (Matthew 27:62), which was the first day of the Passover. Maybe the Jewish time clock I found was incorrect. So that Jesus died in the evening (Leviticus 23:5) & (in the 9th hour - Matthew 27:46), as in the original Passovers of Old...

    Three Bible story quiz questions

    1. Did the men who were jealous of Daniel, make a law, saying: (a) that anyone who prayed to any God, other than the gods of Babylon, would be thrown into the lions' den? Or, (b) That anyone who would pray to anyone except for to the king - would be thrown into the liions' den? Daniel 6:7...

    HOW MANY HOURS WAS JESUS DEAD ON THE CROSS?

    I was wrong. I looked at the Jewish time clock again. I see He was put on the cross at 12:00 noon, and that He died at 3:00 in the afternoon.

    HOW MANY HOURS WAS JESUS DEAD ON THE CROSS?

    Yes, interesting to know facts like this about him! I have a number of his books, as my brother's wife recently let me take all the books I wanted from the stacks of books she wanted to get rid of. So plan to be reading them gradually - now.

    HOW MANY HOURS WAS JESUS DEAD ON THE CROSS?

    Thanks! I spent several days now, studying over the story of Jesus' crucifixion. It was confusing and difficult at times, to get it all to make perfect sense. But I think I've improved on that by this time. I found that He was put on the cross at 12 PM. That represents the Jewish...

    The Spirit Of Christ

    Oh I see. I hadn't realised the Jews had added onto that model "Lord's prayer" that Jesus quoted.

    HOW MANY HOURS WAS JESUS DEAD ON THE CROSS?

    Watchman Nee (in a book I'm reading) sounds like he said Jesus was on the cross for 6 hours. "So far as the experience of co-death in the Christian life is concerned, it is mainly included in this representative period six hours." I checked the account of the Passover on this matter, in...

    How to perceive Christians who are carnal and babes? 1 Cor. 3: 1-3.

    We aren't to look too hard at feelings. The important thing is to prayerfully CHOOSE to do what's right in all things. And our "righteous" title comes from God. So we just need to claim that we love others, but at the same time, keep asking God to help us to grow in our love for others...

    How to perceive Christians who are carnal and babes? 1 Cor. 3: 1-3.

    Well, any time you sincerely struggle against sin and pray regularly for victory over it, it shows you are fully surrendered to God. But anyone who does not sincerely struggle against sin, is not a strong Christian - or is allowing Himself to drift away.

    How to perceive Christians who are carnal and babes? 1 Cor. 3: 1-3.

    It looks to me that all who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior of their life, are regarded by the term, "saints" throughout the New Testament, after the gospel books of the Bible. But I've noticed that whole churches, were addressed as "saints" - and yet, I also see evidence that not all were...

    Yes, those who find Christ are those who seek Him eagerly. And who are very hungry for Him.
